TL;DR
When a trainstation is connected to a circuit network, let the wildcard signal parameter be replaced by the first circuit input, thereby changing the actual station name.


What?

If we send in both 'iron-plate', and 'copper-plate', then only the first input will ...

I would propose to have an option to move the feature "blueprints building on water", into force build (shift+ctrl) instead of the default shift.

In my game, there are some small lakes and trees, and I would like to keep them, except where I dont want to.

So when I want to place a blueprint with ...

I don't think this is making bots more powerful, it's just removing an annoyance... Because at the stage where you have bots moving over long distances, you already have at least one full stack of roboports in your inventory. So all I really have to do is plant some poles and plop down ten roboports ...

TL;DR
The new tesla-towers/tesla-gun could be used to recharge robots instead of damage them.


So this was an idea after reading Friday Facts #422.

One shot of a tesla-tower could maybe charge 10% of the first robot it hits, then 9% to the next robot in the chain down to only 1%, this matches that ...

Seeing this gave me an idea... could this tesla-turret be used as a wireless drone-recharger?

Same goes for the portable one... Whenever a robot is out of battery it crawls to a halt, so having a mid-way point with a stationary turret, or just shooting the robots with the portable tesla-gun should ...

So I was playing around with the rich text this weekend and I thought of a couple of improvements it could use.

Keep in mind that if you just type in some text, it will have the default color White if station in enabled, and Red if the station is disabled.

But if you override color with for ...

I wish there was a way to reduce the area of a roboports supplyarea/ constructionarea/ logistics network.

Because I would like to make smaller, isolated production areas where I don't want my robots to fly everywhere.

Also, I would like to create a different logisics network, even if ports are ...

So I noticed that when I create a Chemical Plant to produce Plastic, it will only count one product per "cycle", even if two bars of plastic is created. Same will Copper cable, factory will only count 1 per cycle. Even if 2 copper cables are created.

Bug or intended behaviour?

Ok, not sure how this is possible, but some of you modders might know how

Imagine a few scenarios:

Scenario #1: The flow of coal into the main steam engines stopped while you were building outpost #8, a solid 3 minute drive from the main base, resulting in a burntdown base.
Scenario #2: One or ...

If you open the technology-window the icon for plastics is still the really old one

Just noticed and thought I would mention it.

Maybe this has been asked about before, but I would really like to easily see what modules I have installed in my buildings. Like a miner with two blue dots on it just to know that I don't have to optimize it further.

Should be visible together with the entity info toggle.
