Re: [2.1.7] log() and print() stopped working in data stage
Idk about data-stage cache. This is the first time I heard about it. I guess it's enabled by default in 2.1? If so, how do I disable it?

[2.1.7] log() and print() stopped working in data stage
What did you do?
I noticed log() and print() stopped working in 2.1
What happened?
Debug message did not print during data stage. They work fine in control stage.
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
print / log should work during data stage. It ...

Re: Unit Steering Settings
I have seen the code where they used it. It's an unique case where I tried to use it and it seems made no difference. Hence a proper explanation from the devs would be appreciated.
I searched forum and discord, they returned no result. This seems to be an unknown territory to modders.

[2.0.76] Multiplayer desync when using event.in_gui from CustomInputEvent
What did you do?
When the host perform left_click actions. It causes clients to desync. (Mod: erm_unit_control 1.1.13)
What happened?
It looks like event.in_gui from https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#CustomInputEvent are out of sync for multiplayer. See screen shot.

An API to add new button to the minimap side menu.
Is it feasible to allow mod to add new button into the side bar?

My use case is to use that button to control the custom draws on the map. It's used to show my air raid radar with its custom scan radius. Something like the following.

Hi
Teleclast also report the issue on my chat. So I did some digging. Here is what I found so far.
This issue didn't exist in 2.0.66. I see the issue when the mod adds a custom input with mouse-button-1. I tried adding Shift or Alt. The action in blueprint library GUI still broken.
