I hesitated to fuel this discussion with yet another controversial opinion, but I couldn’t stop myself. In my opinion the most useless item in the game is the iron chest. In the early game I use wooden chests since I got plenty of wood anyway and their size is sufficient. And in the middle and end g...

Glad I might be wrong about the "being forgotten"

After thinking I mean this is a kind of small bug. What do you think: Move to bug reports?

I mean you could try, but I fear it would at most land in the “Minor issues” section and be forgotten.

When they overhauled the statuses I reported a lot of the inconsistencies. However as you point out, there are still some bugs an oversights. Here is a list of all issues I know of (taken from this post: 91889 ): Locomotives only status is "No fuel". It is missing "Working" or be...

It's the classic "2d sprites in a 3d perspective" problem. Other (quite old) examples: 48205, 32552

Those are just two examples I found with a quick search (you could argue the one with the beacon got kind of fixed). I remember similar reports about trees and inserters.

Check settings -> mod settings -> per player. There should be settings for module inserter and max rate calculator (?) whether they should generate a mod GUI in the top left corner.

My advice would be to search for a mod that does a similar thing to what you want to implement. It’s extremely helpful if you got some kind of example to work with.

Interesting calculations! You have to keep in mind, that using more productivity modules means that you need fewer resources, which means that you need fewer machines producing the ingredients. The total machines needed to produce a certain amount of items per minute is therefore in most cases lower...

I solved this issue some time ago for my own mod. Feel free to send this code to other mod authors. local function initialize() if global.ick_queued_armor == nil then global.ick_queued_armor = {} end end script.on_init(initialize) script.on_configuration_changed(initialize) local function fill_armor...

Glad I could help The thing with the quotation mark is really annoying. I blame my smartphone. Thanks for letting me know.

You can see what a general recipe prototype looks like in in the wiki: https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Recipe . In case you want to simply change the vanilla recipe and don’t have any other mods installed that mess with it you can just look up the recipe in the base game data https://github.com/...

Ok I now understand what you mean. But that's a different issue. I'll explain why: See the behaviour of a locomotive with a grid. Requested equipment gets inserted directly into the grid since it has no other place to go. True, right now requests for equipment might fail, because previous ones didn'...
