Thank you for merging this, sorry for not seeing it earily (I did look first, I swear!)

TL;DR
Players should be able to view/modify entities at a distance using construction bots.

What ?
When outside of the character reach-range, clicking on an entity that has an interface should bring it up in "view-only" mode. In this mode, settings cannot be changed and inventories cannot be ...

I think this would be a nice QOL improvement.

My turn to necro this, since it's likely better than starting a new thread.

I would still really like to see this feature and I haven't heard a "on the roadmap" or "we don't want to do this" from the devs yet...

I completely agree, but if the options are between text overlaying toolbar or leaving it as is...

TL;DR
The console chat currently appears behind the toolbar, if you have all of the toolbars turned on and the chat is too long

What ?
Please either shift the console/console output upward to account for this or, when the chat is open, display the chat on-top-of the ...

I discovered the problem. my working directory was pre .17 while my testing directory was post .17

After fixing this, I am able to copy the fireutil, fireutil.foreach, and fireutil.create_fire_pictures and just do a deepcopy of the fire-flame and modify that.

I then had to copy the graphics from ...

TL;DR
I want to spawn different color fire entities, but I cannot do it very easily.


What ?
Trying to create a new fire entity, in the same way that I do other custom entities, and modify the tint value, duration, and damage. I cannot because I basically need to copy over every function in the ...

This would be great, but would definitely need to be a hotkey, e.g. alt-left click to make one, alt-right click to make 5.

Also, if the hand was you just holding every item, instead of one stack, you wouldn't be able to shift-[left/right]-click to insert partial amounts into turrets/assembly machines/etc.

Shift-click would either attempt to put 100% or 50% of the total amount from your inventory, as opposed to 100 or ...

Actually, the new quickbars show how many items you have total, even if that is larger than 1 stack of that item. Pretty good UI IMO

shift+number is definitely useful for changing the top bar, but this suggestion is more geared toward when you are trying to "manually" change any of the bottom 1-3 quick bars.

just an Fyi, steam also has a built-in screenshot capabilities.

I think just displaying an indicator of the Queue position over the research icon would be enough.
Something like an hourglass icon with the position number next to it.

It would be nice if the count in hand said "8 / 256" where 8 is the count in your hand the 256 was the total in inventory.

I think you should expand out this description a little more:


What: A cargo train car that has logistic capabilities.

Why: explain why normal logistic chests and inserters aren't adequate enough

also, mentioning any problem you can see with the idea/suggestion and addressing them would help ...

A "Load Quickbar Settings from save" option might also be easier to implement?
It wouldn't require a new UI anyway. Just a save selector like you do for loading the map and it grabs/imports the quickbar settings from there

When the player clicks on one of the quickbar numbers to view the entire list, pressing one of the number keys should select that quickbar.

At the moment, when a player presses one of the number keys, it selects the item from the hotbar corresponding to the number.

When the quickbar list is closed ...

I agree with OP, this would be a nice feature.
Although I think it should be done via the shift-right-click/shift-left-click functionality that we all use to copy/paste filters and recipes in inserters, splitters, and assembly machines.
shift-right-click would highlight the blueprint just as it ...

Stuff can be on more than one network though.

That's a good point. The only way I can think of to handle that case is to just treat that grid as one grid. I think it would be too taxing to try to calculate if there are any connections on the route, etc.

So perhaps for that reason this request ...
