You can already change the color of spidertrons just like locomotives, and the remotes will take on that color.

Couldn't you just throw the top left gui into map view and call it a day? Good idea. But they already thought of that, if you read the full FFF. But once we started playing, it became obvious, that this system is horrible. The solution was to integrate everything together. Whenever you open the rem...

Weird, headless package i downloaded for 1.1.98 from CDN has different checksum than the file i see on our local copy.

This suggests a cyberattack. I would check both versions for suspicious code.

TL;DR When an electric pole is built, copper cables should not auto-connect to an existing pole if the resulting network would contain a power switch that loops back on itself. What ? I suggest a smarter behavior for electric pole auto-connect, which helps to preserve desired electric network separ...

I was wondering actually, since the wire connection logic has been rewritten, do combinators keep their connections when 'cut & pasted' The behavior of red/green wires when pasted will not change. Obviously the connections within a blueprint are kept, now and then. Is this confirmed somewhere? ...

Chunk boundaries matter when it comes to multiple inserters interacting with a single entity. Within the same chunk, multiple inserters will alternate, but when the inserters are in different chunks, one will always take priority.

Overall pretty cool changes! More suggestions: make the wire highlight when hovering over an entity more noticeable -- I often have to squint when trying to figure out how parts are connected when a condition is met, change the text color from white to black to better contrast against the green back...

Looked at Sachertorte's mod code, doesn't seem too difficult. Good job figuring that out!

That argument doesn't work so much for keybindings IMO. There are already many screens worth of keybindings, so two more is hardly going to be noticed. Luckily, the keybindings are categorized and searchable, so there is even less reason to worry. The other options menus are neatly organized and not...

I think there has been enough explanations and I'm getting slightly annoyed by the reply notifications for this endless back and forth. You may want to read Vulkandrache's posts again: Currently the map zooms to the position of the cursor. This is awful and i would like the option to turn that off. ...

Perhaps this could be a separate input option (with no default keybinding).

Something not mentioned yet is picking up items (normally by pressing "F" while standing near items on the ground or on a belt). Will that be possible to do remotely? To fix situations where items have accidentally entered the wrong belt, for example, because underground was placed sideway...

A cool little game I played recently (Compressure) has a neat way of letting you share puzzle solutions: you can click a button and it copies an image to your clipboard which you can paste into Discord and other places. The image also has data embedded in it (steganography) which the game can read t...

The label should be changed to "Enable roboports while moving".

The current label made me think that this option refers to logistic requests (in the logistics tab).

Alternatively, it should have a tooltip explaining what it does.

I'm unclear on what you're suggesting.

Something like these mods?

+1 I want to efficiently automate fish to be able to make more legendary spidertrons/fish in the expansion (assuming quality modules work in this case).

I love this!

Genuine question: wouldn't it be simpler to just import the map exchange string when you click the import button? If there's no recognizable map exchange string in the clipboard, the button can just be disabled. Similarly for export, why doesn't it just copy to the clipboard directly instead of open...

When you pick up a blueprint book under your mouse cursor, a button or shortcut could bring up a text search field. After typing your search text, it would find all matching blueprints (including ones nested in other blueprint books) and put a new blueprint book containing all of the matches in your...

Add a small fluid valve with four fluid connections, which controls fluid flow by pressure difference. Details: Two fluid connections (A and B) on opposite sides allowing fluid to flow from either side to the other, at a rate that is proportional to the valve aperture. Two valve controls: One fluid ...
