Re: Align the main menu with sub-menus.

Hm, difficult to judge, this one. I'm totally with you, concerning functionality. But I am certain, that this is not going to be implemented, as the design choice is the way to go on the global scale (OS, browsers, apps, etc.). Functional buttons on top of a list with varying counts of entries solve...

Display wagon count in signal-preview

What? When placing rail signals, a preview of the placements of stopped trains is shown. The number of those preview wagons can be set in [settings] - [interface] - [train visualization length]. I'd like to see the count/number of those boxes. Why? I am lazy. I tend to set the train visualization l...

Re: Inline 4-4 Lane Balancer

Ensuring every output draws from every input regardless of total activity is the property of a belt mixer . Balancers only need to ensure every output is given the same number of items regardless of where those items come from, and/or ensure every input is drawn from evenly regardless of where thos...

Re: Show train visualization in both directions

The visualization is dependent on Signal placement, if you placed a Signal already on the Track the train can only in one way. If you place two Signals next to each other at the start of your station you can switch previews of the wagons by switching the side of the old signal. Thank you for that t...

Show train visualization in both directions

What? Currently, the train visualization is show only in the direction the train comes from. I'd like to see this changed to both ways, or have the option to decide which directions are shown in [settings] - [interface]. train visualisation.jpg Why? From time to time, when placing signals manually,...

Of course, taking repair packs from chests is a common used workaround for this, but then why do roboports have slots for repair packs in the first place ...

Re: Expand Power Poles click-drag functionality to Roboports

+1. Never thought of this as an idea for implementation, but now you've got me. I'd like to expand this a little bit further: Same goes for radar, too. But as radar stations rather need to to be build just inside the correct chunk, instead of the exact position needed by roboports, it might be more ...

Re: Belt math, using lower tier belts to effect.

As posted here , this one is input & output balanced and can handle uneven inputs and outputs. I didn't do sideloading, as it may cause unbalanced output when followed by a splitter while being fed by uneven input. And yes, its too much spagetti... https://forums.factorio.com/download/file.php?i...

Re: [0.17.79] Please please please let electric poles be rotated

When placing/removing new/existing poles or connections via wire, when necessary in the current internatal logic, other neighbour poles re-align(=rotate) themselves when connecting to the new/remaining connections. This should be considered, too. => By adding/removing one pole, you sometimes realign...

Re: Inline 4-4 Lane Balancer

At least the 4:4 balancers are sadly not input balanced. In addition, they perform different, as the shorter but wider version balances the items better than the longer version. When fed by 4 fully compressed belts, they just split the input without any balancing. Plus, when input varies, those bala...

Re: [0.17.79] Please please please let electric poles be rotated

When trying to replicate this, I found that it the crossing is caused by the substation alone.

Only if the substation connects as a middle part in a vertical alignment, it rotates in a way that leads to red/green wire crossing.

Re: switch green/red wire position on substation

Turns out, vertical alignment could use a look into it, too.

See [0.17.79] Please please please let electric poles be rotated for reference.
