Very clever! So we have hacks for both reading and writing.

Now we just need a library that wraps them with a simple API.

There is no way to copy a signal from the circuit network to the smart inserter filter.

The only solution (without modding) is to set up a row of inserters with a single filter on each.

MD5 signatures have been cracked, paranoid people require a more secure hash like SHA-256.

You can't kill all spawners on an infinite map, but you can kill them in as big an area as you like. /c radius = 500; p = game.player.position; for _,type in pairs{"unit", "unit-spawner", "turret"} do; enemies = game.get_surface(1).find_entities_filtered{area={{p.x-radi...

It's a necessary fix if your goal is zero desyncs.

I did some math earlier, and it turns out that if you are taking from a box burner inserters use less total energy than other inserters with the added bonus of avoiding the power death spiral. The roboports still have a power death spiral problem. Also: burner inserters produce no pollution, while ...

Apparently they really like double-headed trains clogging their network and forcing them to add more rail lanes.

The only reason we have 2 colors, is because combinators didn't exist and smart inserters needed more options.

Now that we have combinators 1 color is enough.

You could hash the serialized entities. There's even a library for it! https://github.com/kikito/sha1.lua

The car inventory filter does not copy/paste like the cargo wagon.

It's still there, just downgrade a full chest while your inventory is full.

Here is another design. It is 2 tiles shorter, and does not show leading zeroes. http://davemcw.com/factorio/images/digit-display-4.jpg But it is harder to expand, so here are custom blueprints for each size.

You are so prejudiced.

Roundabout is simple and powerful, why would you need anything else.

I mean, in game memory while loading mods.

You can always add a track separator if you really need one.
