The aspect ratio of my screen is (1728x1117): 1.547. But I don't see how that would affect the placement of the quickbar. Please let us not introduce a red herring.

What I'm complaining about is that when the minimap is displayed the quickbar overlaps the tooltips when the quickbar has been ...

In the map editor when adding entities, the settings for Cursor/Brush/Spray takes up too much space. Add a way to hide those setting so more entities are visible for selection.

Without mods you have to count signals that are connected with wires, you can't do from the train stop

What do train signals have to do with train length?

How do I get Factorio to tell me how long my train is?

If you're not going to center the toolbar, don't center it to the left not the right!

Note traditional side loading messes up even upstream of a lane balancer.

This is not so much about the sushi, but how the upstream lanes are both used.

I accidentally had a Shavian keyboard active when trying to name a train station and nothing was displayed. 𐑲 𐑨𐑒𐑕𐑦𐑛𐑧𐑯𐑑𐑩𐑤𐑦 𐑣𐑨𐑛 𐑩 𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯 𐑒𐑰𐑚𐑹𐑛 𐑨𐑒𐑑𐑦𐑝 𐑢𐑧𐑯 𐑑𐑮𐑲𐑦𐑙 𐑑 𐑯𐑱𐑥 𐑩 𐑑𐑮𐑱𐑯 𐑕𐑑𐑱𐑖𐑩𐑯 𐑯 𐑯𐑳𐑔𐑦𐑙 𐑢𐑪𐑟 𐑛𐑦𐑕𐑐𐑤𐑱𐑛.

Can train station names please support all UTF?

After posting I wanted to see what would happen if I changed the screen resolution and noticed the default resolution was not the max. Changing it to max allowed me to fix my issue. It looks like Factorio is querying the max resolution not the resolution being used.

There are a few size issues when running on a Mac Pro equipped computer. I noticed some UI windows have a vertical scroll bar. If all UI had vertical/horizontal scroll bars this would not be a problem.

Worker robot speed 3 requires utility science but does not depend on utility science.

Here is a 6 belt to 4/2 belt splitter balancer.

This is what I've been using for my science sushi belt. Can't remember where I saw it.

(These GIFs don't look as good as the real thing.)

Very creative! +1

I misspoke, I should have said the bottom lane not mixing is not a problem because the upper lane fills the output belt.

This design works as long as the input belts are compressed and the input and output are the same speed.

The bottom lane is not mixed because the upper lane fills the output belt before it has a chance to be consumed.

dabalciunas, I think you are making an invalid assumption about these lane balancers. Although they have a splinter on the input they should only have one belt as input not two.

Take a look at the designs by disentius in this https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=202&t=74911 for some two belt ...

Options are always better than replacing.

I'm confused. I thought trains would reroute if their path was blocked. In the screen shot below my work train is blocking the normal path out of the refueling stations but there are four bypasses that have stations that they could use.
