Seems more like a good argument for allowing UI/client-side only modding, because I can almost guarantee this won't be the last thing that someone can think of where one person might want one thing changed in the UI whereas someone else doesn't. Actually good colour-blind settings spring instantly ...

As you mention "either as a vanilla feature or added through a mod", I feel like this might already be possible. I haven't really looked, mind you, but there is at least the on_pre_build event that could be used for this. I don't know if this covers everything or if there are other simila...

Also, the best inventory width for a person will depend on their monitor aspect ratio and resolution.

I really wanted to control my splitter with combinator circuits before for the mixed bus and randomly placed assembler cells. I had to use inserters instead, but it was ugly and I would have much preferred controlling splitters instead. This would let us do some really cool stuff with multibus setu...

The mess of relocating your mouse hand is why I don't include text in my stations names anymore.

I just use logi chest icons to say what type of station it is, which makes almost every station name just two symbols.

Factorio does use something like this; they call it latency hiding. And due to the way the engine works, you can't avoid lag when using it with anything that interacts with an inserter. It's really clean with the engineer unless you're F-ing a belt or swiping machines. But vehicles interact with in...

Voting to trust the colour nerds on this.

But also give us an option for RGB, because familiarity has value, even if it's a bad system.

The scanner for Recursive Blueprints+ provides a solution I think is superior. It can do any area (up to a max size), anywhere. And it can be configured with signals in many different ways to filter the output. And it doesn't affect UPS when not in use, it only scans for one tick when you tell it t...

(*) the problem is, that the roboports overlap on construction range. So it is not just adding an extra list “roboport -> constructions within this roboport”. This would add constructions, that exists in two or more roboports, you would count them twice or more and need to filter out those doublett...

Very good idea.

Best example immage is a vertical wire. Impossible to see which of the entities in the line its connected to.

Did you miss the massive thing where Unity tried to retroactively change its license agreement? And which license is it under? Because the link you gave only said "royalty-free" which leaves a whole heap of nasty stuff open. the format and algorithms of JPEG XL are standardized as ISO 181...

Pretty sure people will be sceptical of JPEG formats after what happened with Unity. Why? JPEG XL is FOSS and royalty-free, how is this related to Unity at all? Did you miss the massive thing where Unity tried to retroactively change its license agreement? And which license is it under? Because the...

Pretty sure people will be sceptical of JPEG formats after what happened with Unity.

I can't even see what use cases this would be useful for that aren't completely handled by setting the stack size override.

So what you want is a utility that updates mods without hogging your screen? That's not what I understand. What I understand is : Give us the choice to update mods upon quitting the game, so that it's possible to update mods without having to start the game twice. Something like "update mods a...

What's wrong with the current system, where you have to open up the mod menu and press a button to update mods and then you can either close or restart? My pet peeve is that there is only one option after you update mods: restart. There is no quit option. I prefer to check for mod updates before I ...

What's wrong with the current system, where you have to open up the mod menu and press a button to update mods and then you can either close or restart? What possible benefit does this give? Especially for people playing long-form modpacks like Seablock or Space Exploration, where updating the mods ...

Automatic updates are a bad thing.

Always know what updates you are applying, and why.

Only way this could work is a "number of occupied/empty slots".

Anything else becomes useless as soon as you have two items with different stack sizes in the same chest.

I think the suggestion of making sure any needed mods are installed couldn't work sensibly because you use a blueprint within a game, but mod changes must be outside a game. I'm also not sure the game can necessarily tell which mods are required for a given blueprint to work as intended, and it's d...
