In the original announcement of the switch version it explicitly said no mod support. Besides all the issues dustyvilla raised, the switch hardware is not very powerful and would not be able to handle many big mods well.

Re: Personal robots prioritizing nearest first

If you're good with mods, there was once a mod that tried to bluff this behavior by dynamically changing the build radius of the personal roboports. I don't remember what it was called, though, and it does add some runtime overhead. Closest First , Closest First for 1.1 , or Closest First With Hot ...

As mentioned in the OP, AVIF does have a lossless mode. I've no clue about unpacking time/memory so your other points probably still stand though.

Re: [1.1.32] Error: "Reached id limit for tile." after update

Can't the tile types be increased at all? It seems to be a pretty low concrete ceiling for the modding capabilities of the game. As Rseding has said... It's not going to happen. It would be a memory and performance hit for *every single base game player regardless of them using mods* - that's not g...

Re: Automatically equip best armor

Define "better/best" armor, especially for players who carry multiple armors with different module loadouts for different purposes. Or I could imagine the frustration if you craft a higher tier power armor while your existing armor's bots are working.

Re: Damaged items block inserters from inserting undamaged items into Assemblers

There is no way for a damaged item to end up in a crafting machine without manual action somewhere (at least in vanilla). Repair the entities before you order their deconstruction, before you stick them on your bus or directly in the crafting machine, whatever it takes. Yes it is annoying, maybe it ...

Colored concrete would be great, though I'd say it's oversaturated. Everytime people want to color something, they give near 100% saturation. Damn it... Pure colors look synthetic. Also lightness of concrete is very different, I'm not sure whether it is good or not. This is kinda not consistent. It...
