This is probably the best fix for things, I'll make this change for the next version.

[sarcasm]Thanks for changing icon_size to 128. Was fun to fix auto generating ltn signals.[/sarcasm] Is there any advantage from having higher res icons? The game will crop them down anyway. The main advantage I found was when items are within chests, or recipes set in assemblers, 32x32 icons get f...

It is still consumed, just auto-replenished by the script. Same end result, at any rate.

Version 1.2.1 now available. I had some fun with sound effects and the new on_player_used_capsule event. Full changelog: Minor Features: Trains now remember their mode (auto/manual) after winching vehicles on/off them. ( legendblade ) Use higher-resolution icons. New latching/unlatching sounds when ...

Well, you can now use high-resolution icons, so they won't be badly pixelated when zoomed in!

A proper version of 1.6.2 has been uploaded to the mod portal and the OP of this thread, which has no issues with migrating old savegames. Apologies for any inconveniences that may have arisen.

Is it really required to remove spaces from the mod filename? Having the cheat menu as a workaround is neat and all, but I haven't been able to find any announcement stating that spaces in mod filenames are no longer allowed. Where was the rule change announced? I actually wanted to be able to say ...

Hmm, all right then. I'll continue updating the original versions.

You'll be able to update the old mod, that was my bad. Only new mods cannot have spaces. And when I figure out a good way to migrate all of this, no mods will. I don't really mind switching over, as it seems to be more future-proof. Unless there is some grand auto-migration scheme planned, I think ...

Minor update to add a dependency on the Merging Chests mod (WideChests) to make them squeaky. Thanks to abordoli for reporting the issue. Also of note is that due to recent developments, I've had to re-upload Squeak Through to the mod portal, and it now lives at: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Squeak...

Updated for Factorio 0.16.

Version 1.6.2 released. Thank you for your patience as things get updated to 0.16. Due to changes in mod name parsing rules, I needed to re-upload Orbital Ion Cannon to the Mod Portal, and as such it has a new page here: Also as a consequence of this change, savegame compatibility is unfortunately i...

Requiescant in pace, O whitespace. It was good while it lasted...

I also have this issue for https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Orbital Ion Cannon

Updated to 1.6.1, fixing the above bug and switching to the new play_sound() functions in 0.16. Also changed the map marker, which I think looks a lot better now:

Seems to be fixed!

Thanks for the report, I have a fix ready to roll out in a couple hours!

Updated for Factorio 0.16. I believe things are stable enough now to tag this as 1.0.0.

One new minor feature, a custom alert akin to the ones for destroyed structures, ion cannon firing, etc.

EDIT:

1.0.1 also released, with some performance improvements.
