See https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... lement.add under "slider"
Neither discrete_slider nor discrete_values have an explanation and from my testing, they both set the slider to have discrete values (as dictated by 'value_step').

Is there a difference between the two?

Edit: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... ete_slider has some more info, but it is still not that clear.

From my testing, discrete_slider does not do anything at all, only the value of discrete_values matters. The solution is to remove it from the API, but as that's a breaking change, it's a bit more of a delicate affair. I'll see about that though. I noticed this a while ago, but documenting it as 'this does nothing' does not feel like the way to go.

Documenting it as 'this does nothing' or removing all references to it are both better than just listing it with no explanation imo

Sounds like a good intermediate "fix" to me until it gets removed. At least then nobody has to waste time or headaches on it anymore ;).

I'll look into it.
