Each != Any, obviously ;)

The "each" suggestion would solve OP's problem, since, if I understood OP correctly, there would only be one signal on the wire. But the same can already be accomplished by adding an arithmetic "each + 0 -> S" (or any other virtual signal) between the decider and the ...

You can see how many trains are currently approaching a station by looking at the "Train limit" line of the entity information.

You probably need to force all inserters to pick the same item every swing. Given all assemblers have the same amount of ingredients loaded, they should do that on their own, except for the swing where a wagon gets emptied of an item type. Some ideas:
a) If you happen to know which item the ...

As splitters work right now, their item filter is absolute, so it makes no sense to combine filtered output and output priorities. However, this can be done in 3 splitters: First, one for the priority, then, on the overflow output, one for filtering U235, and finally one for merging non-U235 back ...

Including colored dots showing the corresponding aspect won't help colorblind players

I am no expert here, but writing "red" or "green" is probably even less helpful for a colorblind person than showing the colorblind person the same color as the chain signal shows and a description of the ...

Essentially (but not tooltip friendly):

Red - no available route past this signal
Yellow - caution, slow down and stop at the next signal
Green - all clear, go go go
Blue - some routes are available (but it might not be yours)

Yellow - all clear, go go go
Green - no train approaching

Arithmetic combinators can do exponentiation, so for the case of each*each you can use each^2 instead.

It's so nice to see all discussing the new version, but when does the internal updater deliver it?
Full download takes 8 hrs from here, so not an option :(
Can't be so hard to make a diff from 1.0 to 1.1 files and put it into a zip file, does it?

See the first page of this thread. There was an ...

There's a way to get rid of all of these "New tips", right, and I'm just not seeing it?

I'm not going to be clicking every single one of these things I've known for five years away one by one for the rest of the month, am I?

it's hilarious but both of our games are broken in the same way and ...

What about chain signal signs?

As far as I remember they are not even controllable for some reason...

"Chain signals have no state" apparently. Which makes me feel like chain signals are implemented as an entirely different thing than signals, instead of signals with an extra feature. If we ...

Lets assume those signs would be literally a rail signals "with one feature added" for the ease of implementation. Pathfinder has to look into signal state anyway when searching path so adding extra features to rail signals is the least intrusive way to add logic into rails.
Would be completly ...

Another FFF before lunch. Do we need to send help?

Great work.

I think what @Boskid alludes to, is that having locos contribute traction in both directions firstly implies that any loco can then travel in both directions autonomously. This then brings pathing issues - which way should a train path to arrive at a station? If it arrives backwards, then the ...

Things with circuit logic that can't run event-based (most of them): the circuit logic never sleeps. Setting active=false doesn't do anything for it.

Can you elaborate why the circuit logic can't be sleep?
For all vanilla circuit entities, the result they compute can only change when their ...

do you have a tip for wiring up things like transport belts that you wouldn't necessarily think could be connected to a circuit network (speaking of which, I think the tag "wireable" should be included in the tooltips of applicable items. On more than one occasion I've tried to wire something that ...

It is fixed. I agree that this trivial status need a Tip. It repeats again and again.

A minor quality of life improvement that shouldn't be overly difficult is a way to limit the number of modules inserted without having to open each machine's interface.

For example it's annoying when putting efficiency modules into machines with 4 module slots, because only the first three do ...

...a special mode which allows a selected mod to hook all the Lua instances Factorio creates, at the cost of disabling multiplayer and only allowing one Instrument at once.
doesn't mean ONE mod?

One mod that's doing the instrumentation, not one mod that's being instrumented.
