The direction of a track is determined at each signal, there is no need to look any further than the other side of the track segment to determine if that piece of track is single- or bi-directional. The reality is that tracks are not directional, that limitation is imposed by the signals themselves ...

Nice mockups. Perhaps a slightly different arrowhead for chain and rail signals would help as well. Possibly an arrow similar to the fast-forward style, where it has a second set of rear points behind the first? That might help players realize that trains will wait behind that signal until they can ...

I think it might help building and troubleshooting rail networks if one can see the direction of travel in the block visualizer. Many players have difficulty understanding rail signals and train pathfinding, and having an indication of what direction the trains are willing to travel could help ...

Thanks for sharing, but that's not quite what I seek. I want the border of the roboport that is in my power armor the be drawn, not the stationary roboports.

I would like to suggest that the rail block visualization be modified to indicate the permitted direction of automatic travel. Currently, each segment ends in a flat line at each end. That line could be turned into an arrow to indicate a single direction. Two way travel could be indicated by a ...

I wish I could always see the limit of my personal roboport construction area on the game world. When holding a blueprint, the area is shaded in green. I would like the perimeter of that square to stay drawn even without a blueprint in hand.

I apologize if this sounds mean, but I'm not sure how else to say it.

Has this really been implemented? The original suggestion was to add a field labelled 'Optional', which would clearly communicate the difference to the user. Sure, the colour may help differentiate the objects in the list, but ...

[*]The deconstruction planner filter now treats any entity filter as also matching entity ghosts of that type.

Edit:
Well, I swapped Arch out for Ubuntu; after the reinstall, Factorio just works. I'm not sure if it was my config or a problem with Arch, but I'll take the win.

I am having trouble getting the headless server to launch. There appears to be a problem opening the socket, should it have found ...

I'm also violently opposed to underground belt interleaving, just because it's ugly and cheesy. It only "works" if you use different belt colors, which makes it a poster child case of meta-gaming (bending the rules). If a particularly clever belt layout uses that, it does not count for the record ...

Klonan already gave the "no, because" explanation back in March; check page two of the thread. Perhaps the response from Rseding91 was to help clarify the "no" part for those who are still arguing.
