FYI, Ownlyme has linked this topic as (part of) explanation of why he's stopping modding, and I have to say: without knowing the context, this topic as-is looks like a big embarassment for the dev team. Small mod developer makes a totally sensible request, then a dev tells "We don't care" then list...

+100. I think it would make more sense to fire `on_gui_confirmed` itself, so you can also pick up on the alt-keys.

+1. I would like to use a double slider for my Quick Item Search interface. Right now I have to use two separate sliders, which wastes a lot of space.

Why “F”-key?

No particular reason, just that it's near to R and it's unused by the base game when holding a belt.

I see this was silently moved to "won't implement". Is there a reason for that, or is it just on the back burner? Anyway, I need this now more than ever, for a different mod. I could survive without it, but with it I can significantly improve the performance of my mod when it comes to setting specif...

The new smart belt dragging is phenomenal, and I don't know how I ever lived without it now. However, it is missing one thing: splitters. I came up with a solution for splitters that I think is ridiculously intuitive: When smart dragging a belt, moving your cursor to one side of the belt then pressi...

Added smart belt dragging option that unlocks 2 fundamental features for belt building and is enabled by default: 1) Rotating while belt dragging can be used to build belt segments faster. 2) Automatic underground belt placement when obstacle is encountered. Nice feature, but i dont want to press r...

In a rewrite of one of my mods, I'm using an admittedly disgusting hack to detect an enter with any combo of modifier keys (ctrl, shift, alt). I'm using a to-be-invisible numeric textfield that is confirmed to detect enter, but is set to numeric to allow custom inputs to work. However, even though i...

The one itemstack interaction I've been missing is how to take one of whatever you're hovering over. Could this be added? We're out of primary mouse buttons, so how about using F by default? I have some extra mouse buttons so I'll remap it, but I think that would make for a good default.

I would like to request a way to tie a LuaItemStack to a sprite-button, so we can show the contents of that ItemStack in the same way that the base game does. Currently, sprite-buttons can only display SpritePaths, which are static and unchanging. This means that you can't display things such as a b...

I'll add my own things to this list: - Per-lane filters - Show filters in alt info - Let input loaders support filters (less important) If the first two were implemented, along with supporting faster belt speeds, then I could significantly simplify Editor Extensions' infinity loaders. The third thin...

It would be nice if we could specify a sprite to show when a sprite button is disabled. That is all!

My apologies, I usually am pretty good about looking first. This time I forgot.

I somehow managed to screw up my blueprint library such that loading any pre-existing save file with it will crash the game. This happened right after I edited a blueprint already in the library (the one at the bottom) to have a relative grid, then saved it and tried to load another save file. To re...

I swear I've requested this before, but I couldn't find a thread on it after searching. I would love to be able to use custom colors for the entity selection boxes while using selection tools, so I can match them to the color of the selection rectangle. This is a purely cosmetic thing, so it's not a...

When dragging a selection tool from right to left, there is a large gap between the cursor and the start of the item icons. The gap increases in size proportionally to the number of icons it's showing. 2020-11-30 16_44_13-Factorio 1.1.3.png To reproduce - Load any world with a lot of entities - Make...

I've been exploring the new tips and tricks functionality, and have compiled a small list of features and/or changes that I would like to see surrounding them. Since there's no documentation for them yet, it's been a bit of a challenge. Before the list, I want to point something out to the modders r...

I'm back to +1 this. I am messing with item labels myself now, and them not supporting localised strings is a huge bummer. I can use flib's translation module to get them, but that is a huge amount of added complexity for such a small thing. I hope for the best! :) 2020-11-25 12_01_25-Factorio 1.1.1...

I would like to request a prototype property for items (perhaps a flag?) that will change the behavior for that item so holding shift will not trigger ghost building. My usecase is a really hacky one: I am using a selection tool with a place_result to detect the cursor position while dragging. I wou...

In the meantime, you could use localisation in item labels by using LuaPlayer::request_translation() and storing the translation in the player's global table.
