Re: Concepts for Color-Blind options

I'd always thought that iconography could be added for logistic chests to help both colorblind individuals as well as just to better communicate what they do. I've attached an example of something that has been kicking inside my head for a while. https://i.ibb.co/WxhDMdr/Logictic-Chest-Iconography-i...

It's all opinions here for sure, without a doubt. But what else are we supposed to talk about? The weather? :D
The previous FFF had a screenshot showing planet-specific pressures and magnetic fields. No temperature, but it seems close to something weather related.

Re: Friday Facts #380 - Remote view

So what happens with electric power pole placements and ghosts? Presently, you get a preview of the coverage of a power pole via a blue-filled border. But if the ghosts are also blue, it might be difficult to see the power pole coverage amidst other things, especially with tiles.

Re: Smarter handling of keyboard shortcuts

I didn't consider the relationship between copy/cut/paste shortcuts. ... Perhaps it can be down to individual actions, whether they act as a finalizing action. I can imagine a checkbox next to every keyboard shortcut option that causes it to terminate further keyboard shortcuts that share a modifier...

Smarter handling of keyboard shortcuts

TL;DR The modifier keys can be used as keyboard shortcuts but also can be used for other actions, and sometimes they conflict. This is a suggestion for resolving some of those conflicts. What ? The explanation might do better with an example. With a US keyboard layout, my right-[CTRL] key is on the...

Re: [0.17.11] Unable to craft item due to "Not Enough Ingredients" even though inventory shows I have just enough

I have my own observations to add to this: When you have exactly the right materials to make a lamp (two iron plates and three copper plates) and nothing extra (so no copper cables), you are unable to hand-craft a lamp. It cites that you do not have enough ingredients. If you craft the electronic ci...

Re: QoL suggestion: Quick requesting of missing entities

The only reasonable thing would be give circuit network read of missing materials from roboport. I am intrigued by the idea of having a roboport output missing entities and counts to the circuit network. I can think of a couple of cool uses for that. I may end up floating that idea on this board to...

Re: QoL suggestion: Quick requesting of missing entities

What if you could place a blueprint into the logistic request slots and it just did that? I actually have another post for exactly that. It's pending mod approval before it shows up, and once it does I'll edit my OP to link to it, but this suggestion isn't the same, though it is similar. This sugge...

QoL suggestion: Quick requesting of missing entities

TL;DR I suggest adding a feature where one can add to or set their character logistics request slots the ghost entities currently missing. What ?
