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.

Alt+D and D+Alt are different, because they produce different results. If they were the same, I would expect to get a deconstruction planner when I press D and then Alt, but I don't. I just stop moving (and then the overlay is toggled when I release Alt).

The shortcut [R] to rotate/flip entities doesn't work on trains within the editor, even when the simulation is not paused.

In the changelog for version 0.17.38 it said: This also allowed us to to let train recalculate path spontaneously even in chain signal sequence, as it shouldn't break anything now. By 'spontaneously' I assume they mean according to the rerouting rules described here: https://wiki.factorio.com/Railwa...

Alt+D is the shortcut to get a new deconstruction planner, but when running east and you press Alt to toggle the overlay it stops you until you release the Alt key. Not a major issue, but it's noticeable and slightly jarring. Please make D+Alt toggle the overlay seamlessly like before.

It's not possible to open or modify the inventory of player 1 in the editor.

This works:
This just shows a recipe browser or the editor inventory (depending on the active tab like 'None' or 'Tiles'):

I didn't realize that, thank you!

Please add the ability to un-research infinite technology levels in the editor.

Add keyboard shortcuts, such as IJKL, to nudge the selected entity by one tile in a cardinal direction.

Unlike cloning or cut & paste, this will preserve circuit connections, etc if permitted. If the result would be invalid (such as wire distance too long), you get an error beep.

Add a checkbox labeled "Pipette Mode" to the Tile tab of the editor, which when enabled will auto-select the tile type at the location of the cursor when you click with the paint brush. This will enable more rapid blending of different tile types within a biome (desert/grass/etc) to create more orga...

I have a simple setup: one ore drop-off terminal, and a holding slot for a second train. There are two paths to the drop-off station, one direct and one through the queue which crosses the main line. The rest of the rail network is single-track, and I noticed that the second train would wait at the ...

It would be nice to be able to copy recipes with Shift+RMB from ghost entities.

If I enter rich text tags like [img=item/assembling-machine-2] AP [font=default-small]1.5/s for my blueprint name and later edit it and delete some tags, the tags don't go completely away. They're appended to whatever I change the name to. You can see this by selecting all, copying and pasting in a ...

Ok, thanks for the confirmation. I'm getting a new PC soon.

I've been looking into hackintosh and I read that Clover can completely brick your mac if you attempt to boot with it. Be careful.

So after you (inadvertently?) fixed the __ZTISt18bad_variant_access error that seemed to affect any MacOS version of 10.12 and older, I'm now getting a crash at the end of the loading screen with an error type that I recognized as being the same as what happened after some attempts at fixing the Mac...

Wow, you're right. I can launch the game now. But I get a crash at the end of the loading screen – I made a new thread for it.

I won't install anymore updates on this computer, but luckily I'm getting a new computer in a couple weeks. It'd be cool if I could play 0.17 before then, and based on that StackOverflow answer it sounds like this specific error could be fixed, but I suspect there are many more errors lying in wait ...

Has anybody EVER found it useful to be able to detach/attach rolling stocks? I always just assembled the train on the line as needed.

I use it all the time to steal locomotives, to extend supply trains, or to merge forgotten über trains in multiplayer.
