Great stuff, two questions arose:

1. The rocket recipe changes are only when you play with the expansion enabled I take it, or are RCU not used for the vanilla rocket as well in 2.0?
2. Can you set filters for the slots in the rocket?

Pop quiz: can you spot the shadow problem I want to fix next?

Inserter claw shadows don't seem to line up with the direction of the sun. If I compare the angle of the power pole shadow and the angle of the claw shadow there seems to be a mismatch.

In general I like this idea, it adds new options and/or complexity to the end game. I also like the fact that it's optional, if it was forced I'd think it would introduce too much complexity in the mid-game. I also very much like the recycler. Currently I have my own (private) mod that adds recyclin...

Put an empty blueprint straight from the toolbar into the blueprint library (either 'My blueprints' or 'Game blueprints'). Then pickup that empty blueprint and select something to blueprint and set the name (yes I clicked the set name button), when you create the blueprint the name is gone. This als...

Same problem here, only goes wrong when dragging to build, just clicking them behind a locomotive goes fine, it's the dragging that crashes.

also tried multiple times:

I have only "Mining productivity 1" now but +50% productivity so i can confirm this behaviour. Sure, but that's expected and documented. The issue is whether 50% for the first step is too generous. No, that's not expected, it says +10% for Mining productivity 1 in-game, not +50%. Each lev...

I went from 14% mining productivity in 0.17.4 to 50% in 0.17.5, that seems a bit too generous.
See attached screenshot for the 0.17.4 status. Also attached the 0.17.4 save.

Balancing Changed mining productivity technology to add 10% in one level instead of 2%, increased the formula from 100 * level to 500 * level and removed some of the low level intermediate levels. for older savegames too? Yes, I specifically made a change to prevent breaking older save games just b...

After researching 'Escape pod blackbox' you get the messages saying: Collect some of you equipment Escape towards the east... (etc.) Seeing the first message I (ofcourse) collected everything I could and afterwards I moved to the east. Meanwhile Compilatron is running around saying "Native aggr...

Toggle roboport and exoskeleton is great. Maybe toggle all trash slots too?

"toggle logistics requests" would be nice too

Toggle trash & logistic slots sounds like a great idea, would love that as well!

I do like most of the announced changes, but here are some comments I have. Pipes in Logistics science packs I'd say no. The first builds/items you craft already require a lot more iron than copper, that will make it even more skewed towards iron. Military science packs Being able to play a peaceful...

In the current situation I see logi bots as a sensible replacement for belts/inserters when you're running a 8 beacon layout. The current belts/inserters just can really keep up with the speed the assembling machines 3 at that speed (speed ~9), especially for the more complex/expensive recipes that ...

I always figured it was because Speed Module 1 are used for Assembling Machines 3 and Rocket Control Units.
Those are the only items, besides the one-time Power Armor Mk2 craft, that use any of the modules as an ingredient.

The description of the Show your Creations forum still refers to the blueprint string mod. Might be time to update this considering blueprint strings are now in the base game.

That works for me as well. Diving deeper into the problem, it seems that the #-operator only works for numeric indices. The array is filled with named indices, which is the reason the command below returns 0. Which also explains why my previous code didn't work, because I used ipairs instead of pair...

The property limitations of LuaItemPrototype is always empty (I double checked with the # (length) operator). If I look directly in the files in the base-mod I see that it should be filled for at least the productivity modules (which makes sense).

Does this basically mean that you can get achievements on steam now even if you are playing a modded game?
