Uploaded a new version: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... hp?t=13312

This new version allows you to research and build these chests very early in the game, so you can start building the factory with them instead of having to retrofit the factory for them later.

Moved to convenience, I think this is more game-changing, than just adding a new chest. :)
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

I've been trying to open the prototype files with Notepad+, but it seems to be set to read-only.

The only way to edit the files, I've found, is to open it in Notepad, save as a .TXT, then rename the file extension from TXT to LUA. Once I've done that, I can open it in Notepad++.

The reason for that is the files were under source control when the release is packaged together as a .ZIP. To edit the file on Windows, right-click -> properties -> uncheck read-only. On *nix, chmod +w filename

Would it be possible to make the chest be laid down by construction bots? Currently when creating a blueprint I only get the temporary piece of railroad and not the actual chest itself.

Unfortunately no. Because the "chest" is actually a cargo wagon, it requires a piece of rail to sit on. So when you blue-print the layout, you get rail + wagon (instead of chest), and the robots don't know how to build it.

Ghost-build still works though.

Any chance of this getting updated to 0.12.11?

I'll take a look to see what's changed between 0.12.1 and 0.12.11 tomorrow and see what I can do.

This new version is compatible with Factorio version 0.12.11 and later (up to 0.12.19 currently). I have only done minimal testings, so please let me know if there are issues.

Life is kinda crazy right now, so I'm not checking these forums often. Therefore, PM me if things are still broken, the forum will alert me via email.

Long.

Wouldn't it be possible to make several types of those rails which gets converted to their proper chest that they where before? Like one rail for 2x2 chest another one for 3x3 chest etc...
