Most likely yes, but it has lower priority than bugfixes - so please create a feature request post so it is not forgotten.

Re: [Lou]Ghost entities cannot be placed directly on Aquilo tiles which require two layers of tiles to be constructed
The non-default covers are saved per-tile. In the "not-works" save, you paved over (some) natural ice, but not over ice-platfrom, that's why the autofill failed
In this case, could it not take a guess and take the first coverable tile instead of failing? Just like when you pipette some ores it ...

Re: [Lou]Ghost entities cannot be placed directly on Aquilo tiles which require two layers of tiles to be constructed
To mitigate this issue, the game substitutes the last used cover tile as a proxy for default tile cover for the covered tile (per surface per force).
Could this be adjusted to be per player per surface per force? We are running into this in our Space Exploration closed-testing where players ...

The energy of a modded roboport is never 100% full when connected to multiple networks, where the closest network is unpowered. It's always off by the energy drain per tick.

Would be nice if it's extended to the Landing Pad too. I would make a mod to disable logistcs of the landing pads. I don't like using bots moving bulk items for sciences, etc, but the landing pad being always connected makes this a little tricky.

All combinators prototypes have optional lights that can be defined. If you don't define them in your prototype then the game loads fine as you would expect. Placing these combinators are also fine, but as soon as there's activity it causes a crash.
