ended up by also removing alt shortcut - specially when there is a button on toolbar to toggle ...

are you sure you have Toggle "alt mode" set to left / right alt and not to something else?

TL;DR
Do not change "ALT mode" when pressing ALT+TAB (or any other ALT+... conbination).

What ?
Check when alt key is released if any other key was pressed and if so do not change "ALT mode".

Why ?
When i ALT+TAB outside game and then back in "ALT mode" gets flipped and i need to press alt ...

TL;DR
Make game place undergorund pipe | belt sooner if target location is blocked.

What ?
When dragging power poles game is placing them at max wire distance -or- little bit sooner when target tile(s) are occupied so wire is still attached.
Do simmilar thing for placing underground belts/pipes ...

If player is trying to be lazy bastard with no spoon it is quite important to know current playtime - currently only way to know that is to save game and then open "load game" dialog to see.
The console command /time will print the current playtime. It will not disable achievements.


oh ...

TL;DR
As title says - if another save is selected, game will load map version, scenario, difficulty, playtime and mods from save but these are empty if new save name is typed - show there current game stats instead (maybe with different color or something).


What ?
Save game dialog has fixed ...

TL;DR
Tweak miner hitbox, so player can move between two miners facing from each other.


What ?
New miner graphics show 'path' behind miners if facing from each other (left from engineer on image), but that 'path' is unwalkable.

TL;DR: After good night sleep i get to same conclusion ...

Original reasoning behind this was, that i created chunk aligned city block rails that span over 7x7 chunks and then when placed on map it wouldn't align with my first (non-bp) block - like this: (because of grid size 224x224 ...

TL;DR
Add optional separate grid size when BP is positioned absolutely.


What ?
Imagine blueprint, that has 96x96 grid size and is absoultely positioned to fit 3x3 chunks
as a result top left corner of this BP can be placed only in top left corner of chunks [0,0], [0,3], [0,6], ..., [3,0], [3,3 ...

What?

Tweak temporary station circuit condition when train reach it so:
"5s passed" if player is not in train
"5s passed AND Passenger present" if player is in train


Why?
To differentiate, if train should wait for player (personal train) or not (some random hijacked train, that have place ...

vanila game version: 0.18.36

how to reproduce:
1. place chemical plant
2. set recipe, that uses differnet fluids
3. connect plant inputs - game will not throw "cannot mix different fluid" error

i think, it is because pipe is empty and chemical plant input do not 'lock' pipe to specific fluid ...

How to reproduce:

1. Place locomotive & assign shedule to it
2. Create blueprint of given locomotive & place it on another track
3. Manually place locomotive on ghosted one

even if you try to place it perfectly on top of ghost (almost impossible) placed locomotive will not have shedule assigned ...

Any chance, that there will be bluepints section on it? (clone of mods section would do the trick) - maybe with BP library overhaul (search for BP from game itself) after 1.0 ?
