I'll look into it.

Fair enough, it's not exactly a pressing issue.

You're right, successfully reproduced it. Triggers reliably in all directions except when building to the west (left), but even then it still shows up at the upper/lower edges of the player's buildable range.

For testing I disabled all mods that modify tiles or hook into on_player_built_tile except ...

It's a tile placement event triggered when the player is placing landfill tiles, but the set of positions returned apparently includes water tiles. I have not been able to reproduce it, but perhaps it depends on the geometry of the placed tiles.

That looks like it might be a bug in the event handling code, could you submit a bug report?

Do Bob's mods add any train controls? I haven't seen that "Manual Mode" text before. If Bob's added manual toggle that's also bound to J, pressing it would trigger both mods to toggle, thus cancelling each other out, but that's just a guess.

Not possible, I'm afraid. I've tried.

I don't make any checks or recipe changes based on bob's mods.

You can either change the stack size for cells, which will affect all inventories (chests, reactors, etc), or you can use some circuit logic to only insert as many fresh cells as spent cells are removed: https://imgur.com/a/Y9Gru

I'm not doing it, sorry. I'm taking a break from Factorio at the moment, and there are serious performance problems in FLAN I just don't know how to solve to my satisfaction.

Namely:
Updating each tower every tick has ruinous performance costs, which get progressively worse the more towers are ...

Sorry, no idea what makes it desync, so I don't know how to fix it.

Also, working with the train API is a headache so I've lost much of my interest in rewriting this mod.

I don't think it's feasible. Shift-clicking won't place blueprint ghosts on water, and without that there's no reasonable way I can see to detect when landfill would be required.

Pump can connect to fluid tank that is slightly rotated, but only to tanks that are standing on straight rails.

I take this to mean that it can connect to fluid wagons that are slightly rotated, as long as the pump in question is pointed at a straight rail segment, is this correct?

If it's a fluid, use a vent or flare stack. If it's a solid item, use an incinerator.

The only items/fluids this mod can't destroy are any that might be added in data-final-fixes by another mod, but mods shouldn't be adding items and the like at that late stage.

Changing the recipe on the fly means the mod script would have to monitor each reactor's temperature at frequent intervals and change the recipe on the fly, and the last thing any large factory needs is more lua overhead. It's an interesting idea though, and if I can find a practical way of doing it ...

I've been busy at work, hope to get something done this weekend.

Not at all.

To make life easier I think I'll add an in-game setting so users can change the burn rate more easily, and I'll make that setting also change the fluid capacity so this won't happen again.

That's because the flare/vent only fits 10 fluid at a time. To increase capacity, open entities.lua and change the base_area value on line 110 (a value of 1 is 100 fluid units).

When I start full-screen Factorio on my primary display, it correctly covers the entire screen, including taskbar. Using the keyboard (Win+Shift+left/right) to move it to my secondary monitor also covers the entire screen. Moving it back to primary resizes the window to not cover the taskbar, and ...
