Tought the "Show active state" debug option showed if the entity was "active" and not the onces at "sleep"


Blue, all machines and inserters are idle, and evrything should be off. (but all inserters seem to have an active state)
Green, all machines running only 2 insertles are idle marked with red spots that they have active state. All other inserters are actually bizy and are not marked with active state?

maybe this option visual got "inverted" (now showing the onces with an inactive state?)

Red circle = inactive
Green circle = active

Nothing changed in 0.11.16.

you say the same as me.

why do the game show the Red circles as active while we know there inactive (see printscreen)?

No, the game is showing red circles on inactive entities. That is correct: red circle == inactive entity.

"Show_active_state" means: "Show red circles on inactive entities".

Red = inactive
Purple = inactive until enemies aren't around (turrets etc)
Green = inactive until player isn't around (fish)
