Re: Stack inserters with negative stack size
This is a great idea, but please can we only have it as an option, not the default? Currently negative stack sizes are used a LOT for things like MadZuri's smart loading train station, which this would completely break (using negative averages to ensure chests are loaded in a balanced manner, for ex...

Re: Passive requester chests
Your solution kind of works - I use a logistics connection on the inserter pulling from the chest, to only enable when the logistics system contains >x of the item. That works okay, but it relies on you manually updating the >x value every time a new passive provider chest is added or removed, becau...

Passive requester chests
Currently we can actively provide into the network (active provider, player trash, deconstruction. We can also passively provide (passive requester), or actively request (requester, player logistics slots), and we have a passive storage (accepts anything that isn't being actively requested) This lea...

Re: Player detection for circuit network
Yeah the speed detection makes perfect sense when the gates are being used as gates, or even just to detect that the player is nearby... just not when they're being used to detect whether the player is specifically in the area around them. It's not that I think speed detection is a bad mechanic, I'd...

Automatically "suck" items from inventory into toolbar
Often when you're using toolbar filters (to limit a space to one item), the item in question can jump back to your inventory, or another space in the toolbar, if you don't press Q before selecting the other item. A mod that would automatically "pull" these items back to the correct slot wo...

Re: Station end custom default wait conditions.
I love this idea - I almost never have trains visiting the same station with different wait conditions: although if there was an option to not use it that would be great: eg trains default to "Station conditions", but you can still change it to other conditions manually. Routes would be gr...

Re: Player detection for circuit network
Yeah giving the option to modify the gate is more than good enough :) I hadn't thought about the using two gates option - it would work as long as you can blank off ~12 tiles to the side of each gate (eg it would work north/south or east/west, as long as you blank off the other pair. That could be a...

Player detection for circuit network
TL;DR: I'd like an entity to be able to detect the player, like gates, but without the "activates if the player is 10 tiles away and running towards it" mechanic. Am willing to send doughnuts to the Factorio office as a bribe. -------- I'm currently playing around with some fun ideas for c...

[0.15.x] Upgrading "underneathies" with stack size 1 fails
As per title - if you upgrade an underground belt with a single underground belt in your "hand" stack, only the nearby end upgrades, not the far end - even if you have more underground belts in your inventory To recreate 1. Place a yellow or red underground belt 2. Attempt to upgrade it wh...
