I don't think so, auto_barrel and auto_recycle is documented well in vanilla game and the modder really should watch out what then done with recipes.

And if modder some how add new iron-gear-wheel recipe, it probablly should mean a better recipe which should be the recipe that more approach ...

From what I understand, recipes come, by default with "auto-recycle" feature - allowing the items to be recycled back.
There is a problem with current implementation: the "last" recycling recipe works(?)
if another mod adds new recipe for existing item - it overwrites existing recycling setup ...

Thanks, I think indeed symlinking might be easier.
Just confirmed it seems to work just fine.

For future reference, easily done in console: (rename/move/backup existing Factorio folder first)

I wanted to use Factorio with user/data dir of my choice, but keeping Steam Cloud.

Configuration:
- config-path setup: config-path=D:\Documents\My Games\Factorio\config
use-system-read-write-data-directories=false
- config.ini (in that location set above): [path]
write-data=D:\Documents\My Games ...

Pipes and stacked belt items don't align nicely, I guess due to increased height of stacked items, might be clipping against other items/buildings etc but noticed with pipes
while the pipe itself is okay-ish,
the pipe-to-ground looks definitely off

When hovering an item in Logistic Requests section - it highlights that item in the chest content.
The highlight does not update when the chest content changes, which I think it would be nice to do

See highlight of blue substation (and last icon)

I was looking for mods that work with Space Age's quality feature
That lead me to: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/quality/dependencies

Unfortunately, it does not work, shows 0 dependencies from other mods
Would be nice if Dependencies - "From other mods" was working (for quality, space age, elevated ...

Thanks, didn't realize SHIFT+SPACE was needed

So there are some biter spawners that I previously captured, away from the base
Since then I developed technology to build those so no longer needed those, left them alone and they reverted to "wild" spawners

Now, I am away from the planet but wanted to get rid of those spawners

So I drive ...

Building large space platforms/ships can be irritating if hub is filled up with all items but not space platforms.
Have to start sending up items until space platform arrives.

I think space platforms should be sent first when multiple items are in "Requests for construction" section

Land mines on space platforms now damage the space platform tiles in a radius

this is rather big change and will break lots of people ships & games leaving really bad taste when they realise new patch broke their builds half way between planets etc

I think it's too late for this change in 2.0, I ...

1. ctrl-click on a building with module that gives a better outcome should be automatically accepted
for example: building has Quality 3 Normal (2.5%), ctrl-click on it with Quality 2 Legendary (5%) should replace the modules

2. force replace modules to whatever you are holding
for example ctrl ...

example on requester chest

what you want to select as items to request:
- 1st slot: item normal quality
- 2nd slot: item uncommon quality
- 3rd slot: item rare quality

the problem is you have to do it in very specific way:
- 1st slot: select item normal quality and confirm
- 2nd slot: select ...

+1

also locomotives should increase max speed/acceleration with quality as well

When hovering mouse pointer, ie. want to Ctrl/Shift-click it - the slot should be locked, nothing else should be taking that slot
If slot is emptied by something else (like bots) then nothing should be put into that slot until I move mouse away

This is to prevent misclicks, busy places (like cargo ...

I agree, noticed some items don't scale (ignoring Health), like Storage tank

my suggestion is that EACH item that has quality - should have their primarily stat/purpose scalable (in Storage tank example, the capacity)
and in some cases secondary stat/purpose where needed wanted

having items scale ...

Currently, when you taking the rocket to space, the minimap isn't working too well, keep showing map of the place you leave, then in a tick, replaces with destination map

It's a very small thing but wouldn't it be nicer if the minimap started zooming out as you fly in the rocket then zoom into the ...

also this case (dragging from bottom to top) 2.0.18

Since some of other things are "magically" transported via space platforms (ie. power)
Why not use cargo bays as "additional hubs"?

Or at least, make them pick up/drop items if they are directly extending main Hub?

some info what each colour is (on the galaxy maps) would be nice, in few cases I've been trying to figure out what exactly I am looking at
