I would like the F4 show-entity-time-usage timings to be added to --benchmark-verbose.

This would make design optimization easier. Plus would add visibility to footguns one can make while benchmarking.

Don't agree that this is a dupe of 105073. Using the editor to select the area that includes the cargo pod should be doing whatever is necessary under the hood to associate the pod to the rocket. Like it already does for the rocket to the silo.

Clone a ready to launch rocket silo Delete the silo, the non-minable cargo pod is left over

Leading to them colliding with edge of generated chunks causing extra chunk explosion particles.

Edit: Checking a few other platforms, it's not just upwards component that lives, though does seem majority do have upward component.

I got around to updating the 1M maps.

3 runs, 3k ticks per run.

I have added 1M variants of the two submissions since my initial posting. Testing TBA.

I got around to running all the 1M scale maps, here's the results.

50 runs, 1k ticks per run (train maps beware)

I took the liberty of cloning each design up to 1M/m since performance scaling is often not linear.

I ran each map until it appeared to be stable, then took a save. For trains this meant long times, belt based designs not-so-much.

I cloned each map in a chunk aligned manner so it's unlikely that ...

Cloning a rolling stock at a specific position on a curved rail ends up changing its relative position along the rail.

Simply take the attached map, run the command, and observe position changing, when we only translated across X.

This source locomotive has a ...

Essentially, some way to read/write how far along a train is in its time_passed/inactivity condition. The other wait conditions could mostly be hacked together with existing API, but it wouldn't really hurt to have them too I think.

On patch smelting to feed GC's, clocking some of the thrashy inserters.

Haven't tested it clocking is harmful or helpful, It's only required on the furnaces.

Copper cable ends up with only 6 ticks of downtime due to the clocking so at some point I'll swap those out for normal stacks to see how it ...

/c game.player.surface.clone_entities({entities={game.player.selected}, destination_offset={0,-1}})
If you run such a command hovering on a rail piece, the rail will be cloned to the midpoint of two rail grids. You cannot use create_entity() or teleport() in the same way.

Editor's clone doesn't ...

The northern train will never repath to another station.

Confirmed in 0.17.38 as well.

Steps to reproduce:
With the northern train in manual mode, rebuild the missing rail piece.
Turn the northern train to automatic mode.
???
Profit.

If the train is in automatic ...

It takes 1 tick for the train ID to be read and sent to the circuit network.

When you clone a rocket silo which is readying or is ready for launch, the auto-launch with cargo setting is visually copied but providing cargo to launch doesn't launch the rocket.

If you clone the silo at a time where there is no rocket, or the rocket has already launched, it does auto-launch any ...

If you wire a decider/arithmetic combinator to itself, and then clone it, it does not clone that circuit connection.
/c game.player.selected.clone{position={-10.5, 21}}

If you instead use clone_entities(), it does clone that connection.

Miners placed on uranium ore can cause fluids to mix.

Simply line up two/three pipes containing different fluids and then place the miner.

Repro:
Place at least two poles on nauvis.
Turn the power grid overlay on.
Create/go to another surface.
Power grid overlay shows poles of nauvis.

Toggling overlay doesn't fix it.
Only power grid overlay is affected. Robo/turret work as expected.

Left setup is the original, right is the clone.

Essentially there are a few inconsistencies here:
Trains on curved rails usually get rotated when cloned (appears to be anything not cardinal). Seems to be fixed.
The connections between rolling stock are not ...
