A belt could carry a lot of different things. How many labels would it need?

I prefer right and left labels shown on belt's input side.
Each belt piece could be set with one or two labels so if you want several labels, use several belt pieces.

But this suggestion allow to change location easily.

you can't place a n->s inserter over a ghost of a s->n inserter.

I prefer to place s->n inserter in this case. I.e. use ghost's orientation.

Hm. Really. That is bad.

As I see "no input" is "starving", while "no output" is "done".

But that is dev's design, ofc.

Ideally we'd get an indicator light on machinery like the new mining drills have.
Green: operating normal
Red: missing ingredient or output full
Yellow: no power

Yellow as no output is better.
it is too helpful to distinguish in and out problems.

Why not blue as off because of no power?

to get an idea what is missing (the -x items)

Is it easier to give this job to combinators? I think so.

+1. I do not mistake on splitters usually but this looks good.

When I use BP most often cases are: 1.Put it here if it fit 2.Put it here it should work and some options like repeating, connecting, landfilling etc. First case good as is. Without shift. Second case internally involve "remove anything preventing, but place only if it possible". Now shift...

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 accessed, only viewed. If the entity is in roboport construction range, allow settings to be ma...

This is not a garbage. But in your eyes it is. I can live without it. But prefer it be. I can change the rail signal. But which? Chain signal can get their state from different and I have no means to find one. There are many things in universe which are unintuitive and even counter-intuitive. But th...

why does it have to be something to change in the base game Because in other case game would not evolve. This forum is full of things suggested by players to developers. For example this thread is about weird looking situation about railway signals. Fix for it would be useful but developers said it...

Ideally the bars would also have little icons to state what they represent (plus symbol for health, for instance).

Different colors to not misread it.

For now health/shield hidden if full iirc. What would be now?

Also. Would player's shield cover vehicle? Wasted resource?

Others do make a good point though; you're not really meant to be manually building ghosts in the first place; that's what construction bots are for. Making that process easier seems a bit unbalanced. The best way to plan what where should be built is to use ghosts. And who would be meant to build ...

And you do not want several item filter?

No. It would be quite huge buff allowing easier blueprint placement without construction bots. Ghosts are for construction robots for placement and any help for player here would make them less useful. Robot less useful? IMHO it would be "robot start" mods less useful. This suggestion kee...

I'd love to see this feature added AND splitter filtering be locked behind the filter inserter tech. Agree. For example: no filtering for yellow splitter red splitter with one filter as now. (even if not after filter inserter, green circuit in the recipe as well) blue splitter with two-four item fi...

Would it be better to forbid to unequip armor without inventory screen open?

That nuclear = green glow look is extremely stereotypical and was very exaggerated.

It's nice even if not realistic.
