Delightful! Excuse me while I go add a Load Bearing Coconut to my train system

TL;DR
When you insert a manual temporary stop in a train schedule, any interrupt that would trigger on leaving the current stop should trigger.


What?
When a train in automatic leaves a stop, it checks for any interrupts and applies them. The same should happen when the player forces the train ...

Would be great if this was an option when placing a blueprint of a train. First train works great, print down second following train and instead of two distinct trains I get one messed up joined train.

TL;DR
Train stops currently show trains that have that stop in their schedule. They should do the same, possibly in a separate tab, for trains that access that stop via an interrupt.


What?
When an interrupt triggers, it will insert a temporary stop for the target of the interrupt. If you ...

I'm doing a Nullius run right now and I agree it would be nice to have something like this for trains. We can read all the contents of buildings including these kind of by products, why not trains?
As a work around maybe you could use inactivity?

I put the actual signals on green, and the constants from the constant combinator on the red wire. Then I check the value on the green wire, is it what I want or not, and AND it with EACH on the red wire to select which signal to output as EACH. Note the constant values have to be distinct because ...

Sounds like a neat idea. I suspect it might be a hit to UPS - thinking of a common steel chest, 48 slots, potentially 48 different items of different qualities, so the chest has to be scanned every swing to determine which is the highest or lowest quality item. And how would you handle choosing the ...

Ooh I have some tea-leaves you can use
Also, I would buy this book!

Yep we have been asking for this for a long time!

Now I am picturing a spidey that is out of ammo, dancing around trying to target the biters

Hey there could be target priorities for what it tries to step on first!

For items that spoil in a loop into each other, especially with short timers, when sitting on belts it can sometimes be visually noisy to have the spoil bar visible (when in alt mode). An API like this defaulting to true would allow modders to disable this behavior.

Or an option for players to ...

Making nutrients: I start with a stockpile of spoilage. Once the chest is full, spoil can go to be burned in a heating tower (or eventually redirected to make carbon), but that chest gets filled and stays filled as my emergency restart kit. This stock feeds an assembler making spoil into nutrients ...

It would be nice if the information move-to_hub was available somewhere, perhaps Factoriopedia. It would also be helpful if the concept was introduced in the tips and tricks for the space platform. Right now it is somewhat trial and error. I ran into this removing an assembler that was partly loaded ...

Thanks!
Almost every day I scan through reddit and the forums, and I am constantly amazed by how good y'all are... if there was an Olympics, the staff at Wube would be gold medalists every year. Thank you again!

Minor issue noted over on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1rc7qmy/requester_chests_pulling_from_storage_before/
Specifically the wiki page for the requester chest says buffer chests have priority over storage chests, where other pages on logistics correctly show that storage and ...

This would be a good start.

Also, in the production statistics pane, the kills tab shows buildings 'killed' by enemies. It doesn't help with location, but it does provide a little more information for analysis and planning.

This would also be very helpful for looking at space platform designs and how survivable they are.

I could go for having two achievements, one hard and one hard core

Love it! This could be another achievement, the Why Yes I do have Gold Plated Rocket Parts in my SIlo.

I would see this as complementary to the proposed From Scratch achievements, where you don't take anything except what is in your armour grid when you drop to Gleba, Fulgora, and Vulcanus. Taking nothing means you have to do some hand crafting to bootstrap your way up. For a Really Lazy From Scratch ...
