Re: Seperate Overlay for Building Rarity

Alt-mode could be extended to allow the player to choose what to include/exclude, like the mini-map options.

Re: Mod Folders to Allow For Easier Mod Management

Instead of "folders" (which sounds like it implies that users know what they're doing in their OS), having the ability to group mods within the in-game UI, or add personal tags, could be a good way to achieve a similar outcome.

Re: Request X number of items from a inserter

You could try setting the item stack override on the inserter to 5 or 10. Then when you count the number picked up, it won't overload.

My Megabase

I would just like to share my 3k SPM base. It has run for the obligatory 10 hours with 6 science packs, and will also support military science. I did not focus on saving UPS, and it runs between 50 and 60 UPS on my modest PC. I don't like setting up solar, so it's powered almost exclusively with nuc...

Perfect half-lane split

I'm sure I've not seen these elsewhere, but surely someone else has worked it out before! You can use the side-load-onto-underground-trick to achieve a perfect split of 1 belt onto 2 half-belts.

Re: Auto-sort chests when player opens inventory

I raised a similar "bug" about the spidertron inventory not sorting and was advised that vehicles' inventories are excluded from sort due to performance issues. Can understand performance hits where there are likely many thousands of chests throughout a decent-sized base, but when cars/tan...

Internally this is the same behavior as https://forums.factorio.com/87343 So you're saying that after using the upgrade planner, the BP is effectively saved along with the status of the "Station names" checkbox? So when the upgraded BP is available, because the station names weren't origi...
