What Muche said.

Also, the specific keys aren't really important. I'd expect them to be configurable keybinds, or at least OS-specific, and I could get used to emacs or vi keybinds instead if necessary. The real request here is to have the functionality at all.

That would actually be pretty cool, but I agree it's a much bigger ask.

Attempting to apply a font to a GUI element with a name that doesn't match any font prototype produces this error *and completely exits Factorio*, not just to the main menu like other lua errors.

This is a dupe of https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=58892 which I believe was closed in ...

Another shameless plug... https://mods.factorio.com/mod/large-print-signals includes a script for making new letter/number signal graphics in a color, font, and size of your choice, which is visible at https://github.com/sparr/factorio-mod-l ... ons.sh#L15

When I type [item=iron-plate] into a text box or field in game, it gets converted to the iron plate icon. If what I meant to type was [item=iron-plate,quality=rare], I might realize my error and press backspace... but then the whole icon is gone and I have to type the whole thing again.

I'd like to ...

Currently the text-box GUI element is lacking a lot of UX that is present in most implementations of that sort of interface. For example, as I am editing this forum post, I can do the following things that I am not sure if/how I can do in a factorio text-box:


double click a word to select it ...

1. paste this blueprint (a single combinator wired to itself to make the input wire checkboxes available) twice: 0eNp9UNFugzAM/Bc/TtlUKKDBr1QIBXBba5Agx7SrUP59Djz0bcmL7fPd5bJBP624MDmBZgMavAvQXDYIdHN2SjNnZ4QGLJPcZxQaPgc/9+SseIZogNyIv9BksTWATkgID4m9eXVunXtkXTD ...

I discover that I need this again now, as I'm trying to create blueprints programmatically that need to have entities with normalized positions as if the player had created/manipulated them manually. So... bump?

Currently there's no straightforward way for a player to discover which entities cost more to heat than others on Aquilo.

I'd like to see the heating_energy of an entity in Factoriopedia, probably measured in kW.

I'd also like to see a debug view toggle to render the heat consumption of entities ...

You could use it to improve a rocket fuel upcycling loop on Gleba.

My preferred solution to this problem would have been changing the recycling to be planet-specific following the available recipes.

Today I was bitten by unexpected signal ordering when I used an "Anything" output on a combinator. It turns out that signals for items and entities come before the virtual letter/color/shape symboles, but signals for recipes (like asteroid crushing) come after.
Here's a sample signal ordering with a ...

I would like to be able to adjust the range of a turret to optimize engagement distance and frequency and order in various scenarios. I only want flamers to fire if the enemies reach my wall. I want gun turrets to not engage asteroids passing by the sides of a narrow space platform. Etc.

I am currently unable to find tile ghost entities using LuaSurface.find_entities_filtered{ghost_type="tile"}, despite the ghost_type property of the tile-ghost entity being "tile". I'd like to be able to do this find.

Apparently when the player attempts to place an entity ghost that requires concrete below it on Aquilo, the last type of concrete the player used is used for the new ghost. I'd like access to this value, so that my mod which places ghosts can replicate the vanilla behavior.

Also it doesn't work at ...

Same problem with a splitter filter

If you make rocket fuel on Aquilo with a small productivity bonus, you can recycle it into more solid fuel than was used to make it because the recycler is calculating based on the default recipe that takes 10 solid fuel. This results in being able to make rocket fuel from just ammonia, with no need ...

I'd like to have a little arrow/toggle button on the left side of a logistic group header to collapse it, showing just the header and not the contents of the group. This would make it a lot easier to deal with long lists and/or large groups that are self-explanatory and/or don't change often ...

This would only apply to placing single items, not blueprints. Or maybe it would use a different key combination.

The problem in question is not that, it's the rolling shutter effect with alerts disappearing in sequence shown in the video.
