Bugfixes:
- Potential fix that inserters in a modded environment are no longer cleaned up after the change in detection of whether an inserter is blocked with version 2.1.1.

Update V2.1.1 for Factorio V2.0:
Date: 17.01.2026
Bugfixes:
- Fixed that modded inserters where the drop position differs from the vanilla position are not cleaned up.

OK. Then I misunderstood you.

No, this is the text that is displayed as a tooltip when you hover over the shortcut icon in the shortcut bar. Do you mean something else?

Why don't you just use the original mod SLP - Underground pole? This has been updated for version 2.0.

You can give your shortcut a description by assigning the description to your shortcut via "localised_name".

I also want an possibillity to displaying these relative guis *above* the anchor gui.

Well, you can use the 2.0 mod porting guide for a start.
