The default icon was changed from a red "X" to a black "?" in 0.18.20. It's better but why not give these icons the full treatment?

Hi and welcome to the forum! I don't understand what your fourth combinator is for. You can already do this with one combinator. Also, you could use a constant combinator with -2000 coal and -3000 iron and feed it & your storage amount into a decider combinator with the condition "each > 0,...

Which version of the game is this in? Can you test it without mods?

I thought a bit and I think it’s a very good idea. I wouldn’t limit the flagging not only to the point where a blueprint is involved. I would change it like so: Any entity capable of handling signals should flag (non blinking, just a small “missing” icon in alt mode), if: - the input and/or output ...

Only the rail signals that a train is pathing through will turn yellow. Other signals pointing into the same block will always be red. So yes, you have to read the upper signal instead.

Thanks for your comments! The "power-user hotkeys" idea was indeed quite popular; the poll was 91% in favor and reading some of the discussion about it I don't think anyone would be seriously hurt by the change. Anyways, I made an AutoHotkey macro to implement my idea (mostly). :x The way ...

TL;DR One or two keyboard shortcuts to quickly zoom in or out on the map. What ? You press a keyboard shortcut and you are quickly zoomed in or out (instantly or over 100 ms). For example, MMB (middle mouse button) doesn't seem to have any function in the map/world right now. So clicking the mouse ...

Oh, thank. Got confused because I didn't account for uranium processing (10 ores per u238/-5).

Electric mining drills will stop mining uranium ore when they still have around 10 sulfuric acid remaining (sometimes less, e.g. 6.7), even though their description says they require 1 per mining operation. Also, the mining drill's GUI never shows the same amount as the tooltip. It's always 0.1 to 1...

I thought the same thing on day one of the programmable speakers.

I've thought of some kind of anchoring feature like this before. I think it would be really cool if done right, especially if it could be integrated with an automated blueprinting system (like recursive blueprints), similar to the jigsaw blocks used in Minecraft structure generation.

Barrels can be loaded into cargo wagons which you can also use for other items. So for an outpost resupply train you can have 1 cargo wagon with all essential supplies, including oil for flamethrowers. Or add sulfuric acid barrels to your uranium mining train as mentioned already. You can have short...

TL;DR Make it easier to set exact logistic requests. (100 <= electric mining drill<= 100) What ? Possible ways to do it (pick one): Hold a modifier key like Shift to prevent the slider from moving the other slider. Double-click the slider to move the other slider to the same position. Type an equal...

Question: what happens if you want to make a one-time order for something which you already have a logistic request and/or autotrash slot configured? E.g. if you normally have "magazines: 1k", could you even make a one-time order then (e.g. for 2k mags), and if so, how would it know when t...

Hello fabulous developers at Wube, I just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying your game! I stopped playing a couple years ago (burned myself out trying to solve some circuit network challenges and moved to other games), but recently I started a new freeplay with the goal of reacquiring a bu...

This is a good feature Ctrl+R!

* On mouseover of a logistic request slot, open the expanded pane for that logistic request.

Then you would not be able to mouse over other slots hidden behind the popup.

RIP Clippy, err... I mean Compilatron.

Here's a visual demonstration: https://streamable.com/ixwpr

When you pick up an infinity chest the items inside just disappear. I would expect the contents to be inserted into my inventory before removal like with other chests.
