Does this mean this is considered a minor issue?

Can you at least explain why this is so if it is not-a-bug or working as intended?

Actually a reasonable question imo.

But once you've done that work, the end result is an unmaintainable mess. That's were some clever process outside of Factorio is necessary to notify the dialect translator every time the translation of the main language changes (for example through a suggestion or issue on crowdin). (Does anyone kn...

That would be a tremendously burdensome maintenance task to have to update multiple dialects and have to keep duplicate strings in sync if they're 90% the same anyway. It's always a good idea to factor away duplication for maintainability. If dialects are mostly the same as the main language, then ...

Interesting idea, never thought about dialects in games before. The localisation already falls back to English if no string is available. I don’t think there would be any new file structure needed. A setting of some sorts to tell the game to which language it should fall back before it goes to Engli...

I like the idea of creating a modpack by combining all the mods. Although I couldn’t create a script for that myself, this are the challenges I can think of: creating the same dependency tree as the game dealing with stuff like “if mods[…]” dealing with changing sprite and file paths Combining contr...

The inserted events will always fire once for each equipment that is inserted, so the number is always 1. I will check it again, but I did a quick test the other day and as far I could tell it only fired once, even though I shift-clicked multiple solar panels into the grid. (I just printed somethin...

They added two new events on_equipment_inserted and on_equipment_removed. However you still can't isolate when equipment was inserted/removed by script, since the new events also fire when it was done by the player. In case there is a way to do it, I would be interested in that.

Added on_equipment_inserted and on_equipment_removed events that fire any time any equipment is added/removed from a grid. on_equipment_removed includes the number of equipment removed, on_equipment_inserted doesn't. Is there any particular reason for that? The same goes for the already existing ev...

EDIT 1: It only seems to work if the stack size of the inserter is set to 1.

With any stack size higher than 1 it doesn't work?

And have you tried using a filter inserter?

good point

Wrong center, even visible here, too thin, wrong color…

Someone should report the wrong center as a bug. And maybe the graphics person will design something entirely new, instead of fixing it.

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaItemStack.html#LuaItemStack.entity_filters To my knowledge all strings in this array must be names of entity prototypes that: 1. don't have the flag "not-deconstructable" and 2. are either a cliff or are minable -> Thanks, updated for the next release.

I think it started doing so a few versions ago.

If this is the case then it might be related to the fix for this bug: 98344

A1 OR A2 plus B = C I think this should work if you use a furnace and define two recipes A1+B and A2+B. Since furnaces swap between recipes automatically based on their input. It is very limited however: 1. If you don't want the player to require a lot of combinators, the recipe should always requi...

I hesitated to fuel this discussion with yet another controversial opinion, but I couldn’t stop myself. In my opinion the most useless item in the game is the iron chest. In the early game I use wooden chests since I got plenty of wood anyway and their size is sufficient. And in the middle and end g...

Glad I might be wrong about the "being forgotten"

After thinking I mean this is a kind of small bug. What do you think: Move to bug reports?

I mean you could try, but I fear it would at most land in the “Minor issues” section and be forgotten.
