A bit OT, but this confused me:

This can be a potentially soft-locking problem if the player is somehow stranded "naked" on Vulcanus, as without any other items Ashland trees are the only local source of fuel for Stone Furnaces to create plates required to progress further.

How could you get ...

I didn't consider it too bad. Just need a spoilage storage and an assembler to convert it to nutrients. Then you have two biochambers, one to create mash, one to turn it into nutrients. As long as you got fruit, it only needs a few spoilage to give you enough nutrients to run itself and a bioflux ...

I too would like a way to load mixed rockets, would be nice to easily create new platforms without having so send a full stack of each separate item. Sorting items by weight and loading as many as can fit and then auto-launching at fullness percent would be nice. Not sure how to deal with stuff like ...

Can't you use the blueprint library to share them easily?

Since this is one of the mechanics, this is more "Not a Bug", I think.

I assume screenshots don't capture the issues? In this case I assume this is a screen issue, not much factorio can do.

I mean, that could be changed

Should be possible to test in the editor, combined with cheat mode.

Thanks for reporting, I had the same issue, but only occasionally and couldn't reproduce it. Glad you figured it out, and thanks to Rseding91 for fixing!

That got mentioned in Items held by the inserters shouldn't spoil :

2/ If an item spoils while in hand, then inserter will hold an item that is known to be a spoil product of a different item. Such items get slightly different treatment when trying to insert into entity where the item does not fit ...

Seems like it, but shouldn't running out of power immediately update the position to avoid such jumps?

Also mentioned in FFF 412:

This doesn't apply to rotations made by hand using the R key, as that is easy to correct yourself and could spam up the undo queue.

Although I wish they'd reconsider.

Sounds to me like bad hardware. Could you try memtest?

Quite the opposite for me. I expect un-spoilable items to be considered 100% fresh, and spoilage to be considered 100% spoiled, and spoilable items to come in between. I built a whole factory module around this for iron production on gleba and then was distraught to find that neither of these ...

Yeah, I compiled box64 (because 16k page sizes) and then just ran it.

I think it's fine as-is, since you can always use assemblers to make nutrients from spoilage, that's how my reset-vector is made.

Stupid question, but does this mean that only logistic robots are optimized like that, and construction bots are not? Because I kinda assumed both would be handled the same.

Yes, some way to read spoilage for the circuit network would be awesome.

They may have removed infinite loops when flying outside a network, but im wondering why we can't have robots that stay inside the network period. In the example shown at the end of this Friday facts, why can we make it so the robots just go up and around instead of leaving the network? Even if ...
