Food and Chemical are fuel categories, which is a game mechanic in which items contribute to one or the other, not both. 'Yummy value' vs 'Fuel value' thus communicates a game mechanic, unlike 'Hatch' vs 'Spoil'.

It may yet be justified to Wube on flavor grounds, but this seems to me at the cost of ...

My criticism applies to the proposal for vanilla (distinguishing egg hatching from normal spoiling).

I can’t say I agree with this proposal as it stands. Spoilage refers not only to the flavor of the decay process, but also to a concrete game mechanic in which items get immediately swapped out while in machines, etc.

Players intuitively understand what it means for a biter egg to "spoil". It seems ...

Adding layers to the graphics of the sun.

I am relaying this request from my collaborator.

Increasing the parameter surface_vertical_offset makes more room for the atmosphere, but it does this by cropping the planet, which causes glitchy-looking graphics that seem like a bug (especially as the planet rotates).

A preferred behavior would ...

Right now Cerys has a static 'screenshot' of Fulgora in the background, which would be nice to be detailed and animated.

Aside from turning Cerys into a space platform which seems rather unrealistic, is there any workable approach to create a 'planet rendering' using the same logic used on space ...

Ref: viewtopic.php?p=693717, where I requested a 1x1 Lane mixer.

In case it is technically easier, the other possibility I mentioned would also be interesting, a 1x1 Lane swapper.

This request is still desired for my mod despite the new changes to inserter lane settings.

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.

Opened: viewtopic.php?t=133763

This week in asking for an inch after being given a one already, 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 ...

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 ...
