Bumping this with a polite FYI. I’d like to point out that tens of thousands of players are running find_entitites_filtered on every space platform above Cerys, Rubia, etc multiple times per second due to this missing API, which hurts performance of modded games.

[2.0.65] Miscolorations in Aquilo tile transitions
This is not really a bug report but this is the closest forum I could think of.
Most tiles in Factorio have a nice graphics set — however, the graphics for rough ice and for most types of snow have some tile transitions that are miscolored red. Tile transitions are hard for modders to make, so if ...

Re: Roll back feature: "When dragging belts, going forward and back will remove the extra belts built."
Checkbox setting is a bad idea, belt building is a high-complexity system that needs to be fully stable before considering forking all the behavior (not to mention all the corner cases two systems would create when interacting with other systems in the game).

[2.0.64] Failure to suppress MacOS system accent menu
When I hold any key (like 'A' to move), Factorio can under some conditions fail to suppress the native system accent menu on MacOS (version 15.6), which appears in the top-left above the game window (as pictured). This should only appear when writing text.
I think this can be suppressed by ...

[2.0.62] Space locations have no tooltip debug info
I sometimes use the debug setting show-debug-info-in-tooltips to know the internal name of a prototype on hover, but this doesn't work for planets and space locations (in Factoriopedia or the starmap).

Quality support for radius_visualisation_specification
In Cerys, higher-quality towers have a larger heating range. For the player-constructible towers that the player can hold in their cursor, the current value of radius_visualisation_specification.distance is 15, which matches their actual heating range at Normal quality.

Re: QualityPrototype extended
I appreciate that most of these entries are not capped at 1, because that would break the already working property for the Inverted Quality mod.
How is that? So far a QualityPrototype::level is uint32, which means a default_multiplier = `1 + 0.3 * level` was never able to go below value of 1 ...

[2.0.55] Installing a modpack doesn’t enable dependencies
If you already have certain mandatory dependencies of a modpack installed, then installing the modpack won’t check those dependencies and thus the client will error when the user restarts.

[2.0.55] Loading states in the multiplayer game browser
Several fields show as 'None' while the modlist is being fetched for a multiplayer game, notably including the modlist. This should presumably be blank or 'Loading...'.
This applies to all servers so is easy to reproduce.

Yes required_when_disabled would be even better, that would not be a breaking change.

Regarding disabled prerequisites still blocking
As of the latest release (2.0.52), if a prerequisite LuaTechnology has enabled=false, it still blocks its successors unless researched=true. Such prerequisites are normally hidden from the player.

New mod dependency category to be downloaded by default
I often wish to highly recommend a dependency by making it download by default, but not mandatory so that players are able to opt-out.
The current workaround is to make the mod mandatory, but add a 'Disable mod' checkbox to the dependency. A number of my mods have this checkbox and the drawback is ...

Re: Bug with quality modules being immune to quality
I've realized the real cause of this issue: Inverted Quality flips the sign of the effect of the quality effect of quality modules.
It makes sense that the engine would react by making that quality effect immune to quality, so this is not a bug.

Re: Clicking tags in chat doesn't consume the click
I reproducibly obtained this effect when the GUI (Factoriopedia) is opened _by_ the chat click.
However, I can no longer reproduce this on 2.0.48.
