Biggest thing here for most people is the last one, super force building belt-related things on top of existing belts just got a lot better, no more unnecessary undergrounds that require a manual fix.

This one made me laugh
And thanks for all the hard work, as always!

Selecting a spidertron remote selection in the quickbar which is for a different planet than the current one will center on the planet.

THIS!!! Great one.

now just a small thing: left clicking with a remote on hand should not deselect the spidertron... that happens way too much accidentally

Anyone know when any of the last five versions will make it to stable.

[Zavian]

Anyone know when any of the last five versions will make it to steam? Last version on steam is 2.0.15

They have all gone to steam in the experimental branch (in the steam UI under betas). However they have all had various bugs and weren't considered suitable to mark as stable.

Please, let us choose if we want to go back to the previous shortcut icon size. the new size way is way to big

Use a mod.

[Mavets]

Please add an increase in slots in the train for quality. this is the most awaited update.

[Shiny998]

Please change the icons back. They look ugly and I can't revert my save file to an older version.
I'm doing an acheivement run without mods otherwise I'd install a cosmetic mod.

Can you be more specific? I was actually recently approving these, and I find it to be an improvement. The icons are bigger (with less empty space around), so it is more visible, and the wire icons are not confusable with the actual wire item.
On top of that, I personally hide vast majority of the icons, if I know the shortcut and use it a lot (copy (Ctrl+C), cut (Ctrl+X), paste (Ctrl+V), undo (Ctrl+Z), redo (CTRL+Y), alt, blueprint (ald-B), deconstruction planner (alt-D), red wire (alt-R), green wire (alt-G))
This means, that there are just a few missing icons left to be on the screen all the time.

I think the icons are a HUGE improvement. I stopped confusing "red wire" and "deconstruction planner" now which was extremely annoying.
My only hint would be to make "artillery remote" a big clearer but it is only a nitpick as I hardly ever use that.

I think the icons need a little more work on the balances. right now they look too fat and big relative to the rest of the interface.
and the spider icon looks cheap, but the idea is cool)

I do agree that the icons do not match the visual style of the game at all. While they succeed massively in ensuring the icons are readable and distinguishable (Especially with the "G" and "R" for green and red circuits), none of the rest of the game shares this design philosophy. (EG., the buttons for the various map overlays, the various item/recipe icons, etc etc etc)

I'd like to see it as an option somewhere in the menu: Legacy, Legacy (Less empty space), Modern

Why not simply use the old entity icons though for the three wires? Like they used to be in the crafting screen/inventory/...

Because they are improved from an accessibility perspective for anyone that is color blind. Notice they look like G for Green and R for Red? They are WAY, way, way better. The only suggestion I would have is to color the regular wire as copper instead of black and white.

Exactly, the visual style is completely off. The new icons are too chunky and cartoony, they don't match the rest of the UI or the feel of the game. I've been playing factorio since the old days and the wire icons were better. I can see in the files that the new icons are higher resolution but I think Wube needs to go back to the drawing board; they are terrible.

In the meantime, I made my own icons in the style of the new icons. High res but I used the wire icons because personally, I think they fit the game design better.

I also wanted to quote here that while I agree that the new icons are better for those who are colorblind. No design feature should be forced upon the general user base. It should be an option that can be toggled on or off. As a game designer of three years, this is how I'd approach situations like this.
Besides, when you actually click the icon, it doesn't keep the UI icon when you place wires in the world. It uses the regular wire icon instead.
