[2.0.15] Space Age - 2x Pentapod egg recipe icon unavailable

Post by VL4DST3R »

The Pentapod egg *recipe* icon (the one with 2 eggs dividing) cannot be accessed from the filter/icon list for use in say, circuit networks.

I am guessing that's because the recipe itself has the same name as the singular item "Pentapod egg"? I would suggest renaming the recipe to something distinctive like "Pentapod egg cloning" or similar - assuming this is the cause.

Thanks for the report, this is not a bug. We used to get reports about players confusing the two icons in inserter filters.

If this is the case, why weren't the molten iron/copper icons also changed in a similar way (There are a few bug reports on those too)

Because pentapod eggs have only one source, the egg division recipe, while molten metals can be made in multiple ways. Changes are being considered, so hopefully even the molten metal issues are resolved soon.
