The internal 1x1 Lane splitter entity was added in Factorio 2.0. If fed a single-lane input, it distributes that lane across both output lanes, balancing them. However, for a full two-lane input AB, it just transposes the lanes to BA.

I haven't seen a mod make use of it, and I believe that's ...

Having this in game state or events would be useful in drawing GUIs to avoid overlapping the quickbars.

This week in asking for a foot after being given an inch, we have a follow-up to https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=133072.

Depending on how difficult this is to implement, and whether along with "hide-spoilage-bar-in-world" it suffices to hide the spoilage bar everywhere, this could be an ...

Reopening this with a new request: Would it be difficult to add one or more further booleans which hide the spoil bar inside inventories (including the cursor)? This is a less common use case, but creative modders will find uses for it.

Thank-you Bilka!

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.

For this proposal I believe the ...

When empty space tiles (or others with `effect = "space"`) are viewed through a camera GUI, the parallax effect of the stars accounts for the zoom of the viewing player. If my understanding is correct, the position for parallax is taken as the position of the camera GUI on the screen.

For certain ...

That is addressed in the OP.

Several times I have wanted to give the player a handcrafting recipe that they are only supposed to craft once. The recipe is disabled by script after they craft it (nowadays likely by a spoilage trigger), and a script processes the player's crafting queue to cancel any additional crafts of the one ...

Thanks, much appreciated

It seems that since version 2.0.74, there is broken functionality for some items with `send_to_orbit_mode = "manual"`.

Attached is a save in which such an item (`cerys-hydrogen-bomb`) is placed in a rocket inventory. Clicking the silo, then 'Deliver cargo' and 'Orbit', has no effect and the rocket ...

Cerys uses that trick elsewhere, but it isn’t feasible here. It's a freely buildable entity in a popular mod so the solution should be interchangeable in the various game systems: pipette, recipe signals, quality-switching shortcuts, ...

Thanks for the reply.

This request is for a new optional field, defaulting to 1, which specifies how many of the item is consumed in order to place a tile inworld.

This request is for animated items on belts.

This did not recur so far. Could be an OS bug I've upgraded out of.

Corner case: If you call `player.mine_entity` on an entity at {x, y} on a different surface to the player, flying text is created on the player's surface.

This wouldn't be a problem, but the flying text appears at {x, y} on the player's surface, which is confusing because this physical spot is ...

Good point. Yes I think all relevant users had recently downloaded the first attempt at the hotfix. Of course the ideal is to test everything locally, but with ongoing live events more can happen.

Ah, for the upgrade planner. Thanks, that makes sense.
