Thank you very much, had so many deadlocks now! I thought I did something wrong.

So when you drop something from a Space station hub to a planet the icon in the drop slots can have three states:
'normal'
'completely orange'
'partly overlayed orange'

See the images below:
How are the three different? What is the meaning?

What did you do?
Open the Factoriopedia, and go to the beacon page.

What happened?
The horizontal axis of the plot of the beacon transmission strength has 2 times the 'tick' 10:

This is also why the 'hover-over-lines' don't align properly (the tooltip says 9, but the value seems 9 ...

I'm very curious how you then send some things 'manually'. Especially if you're building a new space-ship, doing it through request is awkward…

Some others also report problems with automatic belt dragging. I could not find an example where someone tried out all possibilities like I do here:

1. What did you do?
Tried dragging belt (triggering the automatic undergrounding behaviour)

2. What happened?
The going-under is created, but ...

I know unchecking that works, but that interrupts my other launches. To me it is strange that there is no way of sending to another platform without disabling requests. I would expect the ‘automatic requesting’ in the silo to do exactly that, not automatically fulfil request

This might be a bug, or maybe not and I'm missing something.

I have a rocket that I'm manually filling the inventory. I have the 'automatically filling requests from platforms' off ':

I would expect that if I add materials to the rocket, it would not ...

When queueing several research items the predicted percentages are comparing it to the current values rather than the future values.
Example :
for the physical projectile damage research 9 , the cannon shell damage goes from 420% to 520%:

Then I would expect physical projectile damage ...

Fixed that filter inserter was visible in technology icon for fast inserters.

The level of detail! nice! RIP filter inserter

1. I constructed a flamethrower.
2. When you're standing against the connecting pipes and on the edge of the about-to-be-made flame thrower, you can get stuck inside the pipe and flame thrower when you build the flamethrower.
3. I would expect that could not get stuck on something you build yourself ...

I just noticed that in the first video, after watching it several times, that there is actually rain! Somehow I completely missed that! Would it influence the map?

Love the design, love the sound, love the arc-graphics!

I'm confused why the forking is delayed? It looks very strange? It is like the 'particle'-based laser turret we had before and then got updated to be an instantaneous beam…

Looks very cool! Excited to use this!

Now that I see the chemical reactor on the space platform, i think it should have an alternate smoke animation. In space it would be more of straight diluting jet, rather than a structure that entrains external fluid (air), mixes, creating vortices and so on ...

And look at the reach of those legendary medium electric poles

Top-left: is that a new water enemy or a tree in the water?

For the people whining that the old one was more real: it wasn't, junctions were severely broken, nothing real about them whatsoever. And on large scale fluids were just annoying. I very much welcome the new mechanics!

I second that the 5s option is not so useful, 10 or 15 would be more useful. Or have it at least remember the selected one.

Another thing related to statistics: it would be great if you press P while having an assembly machine dialog open, that it opens the production statistics page with the ...

I love the new soundtracks! Really gave me Jesper Kyd (Hitman 1–4) vibes (electronic + orchestra) with a bit of Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross/Nine Inch Nails. Love it! Love it! Love it!

I would love to see when you pipette ore, that by default you get the burner mining drill, but then it should change to an electric mining drill after your first crafted electric mining drill?

Thanks a lot for all the great updates.

1. Zooming in on vertically-placed big power pole wires (while in radar-view-mode).
2. The wire disappears.
3. I think it should stay visible.
4. Always, but only when the wire is (nearly) vertical, and the poles are at maximum extent.
5. In sandbox mode: place two big power pole vertically from ...
