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...

Everything except heat pipes can now gett off the ground layer.

I quite like that you can't use underground pipe flow boosting with heat, personally.

Factorio combinators are turing complete. (So are factorio trains, factorio belts, and probably a few other things as well) I have actually planned to make computers out of trains, belts and a few other things... The electric network lets electricity flow to consumers from any producer. This is an ...

I don't know if you have seen, but there will be an "S" unit meaning 1 stack. So you'll be able to set your blueprint variable to 40S of whatever item, and the blueprint will translate to 40 stacks of whatever item you've chosen. Source : https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-388 (search for...

Something to be aware of:

How this would effect dragging a pipe along the line of chem plants.

Since we're getting more "everything is doable from the map" it would be nice to have a push-button we can press from the map view. And while we're at it, it would be fantastic if we could set it to single-tick pulse so we can stop using "rotate that inserter with an item on the groun...

What you want is essentially version control on placed blueprints.

I'd love that, it would make fixing early mistakes in grid bases so much simpler.

so i find these "forced" extensions rather annoying. No reason not to keep simple what can be kept simple. The end-result of that argument is a single recipie that makes a single science pack that researches everything. In reality, you want things simple. In games, complexity can be fun. ...

But the good news is that you could, and probably still can, get the result you want anyway ; the catch being that there's no UI for it. Didn't they fix something similar from bob's inserters? I'm not sure what you mean by "fix" or are referring to, but I checked now and the blueprint fro...

You just want more things to trigger train interrupts on, don't you ;p

So the map option, but outside map view?

Somehow I feel the solution to this should involve the circuit network. If it would be possible to detect 'an attack' in a given area of a roboport this could maybe be done using circuits properly. However this would mean you have to take out the repair packs from the roboport, which is a bit cumbe...

Ooh, this would let grid bases expand without needing a tempory bridge roboport or player interaction.

There used to be a way to fake this using overlapping rail blocks, but Wube fixed it

First, I think you should redesign to avoid asymmetric drain. Second, you can get what you want from a decider with "everything = 0, output 1 placeholder" attached to each chest or set of chests you're interested in. Show me where you would put that one decider per chest in my first scree...
