What was the reasoning behind the red flash change?

I'm guessing epilepsy-triggering risks ?

P.S.: No more fish «event horizon» !

Finally! Thank you! You said this was difficult to fix so I'm wondering how you did it.

Hey, this is great! I'll have to give that a try at some point without the mod that reduces the intensity to see if it's better as is.

I'm not sure on their reasoning, but I know I didn't like it because it was hard to see what was going on while it was flashing. I've been using this mod to correct it for me: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/reduce_damage_flash

It seems that the on_research_cancelled-event is only raised when the research is cancelled by built-in game gui. No event is raised when canellation is done via research-queue-mod like sonaxaton-research-queue.

At last! This has been a recurring irritation, for ages now the only obvious bug in normal vanilla gameplay.

[*]Fixed an issue with item-with-inventory extending inventories and quickbars. (102095)

So while skimming through the changelog I noticed the bit about "extending toolbars" and thought longer toolbars? I want that. (Specifically I want more toolbar slots without the toolbar taking up too much vertical space. So extend the toolbars horizontally). Unfortunately from the bug report, it sounds like the mod doesn't do that.

So I'm wondering if the mod api allows extending the length of toolbars to perhaps 20-30 slots. Alternatively is there a mod out that that allows players to add more toolbar-like slots (allowing mouse access to items and/or blueprints. I don't care about keyboard shortcuts).

Yeah, also (kind of) : Helmod => Pin Production Block => Pipette tool + HotCraft + Intermediates in your inventory

It seems that the on_research_cancelled-event is only raised when the research is cancelled by built-in game gui. No event is raised when canellation is done via research-queue-mod like sonaxaton-research-queue.

It's raised when the cancel function is used: either through the GUI or through the cancel API: https://lua-api.factorio.com/1.1.58/Lua ... t_research

The mod I mentioned uses the setter of research-queue to cancel the research.
https://lua-api.factorio.com/1.1.58/Lua ... arch_queue
Shouldn't that be supported as well?

Your link appears to be broken. Here's one that works for me: https://lua-api.factorio.com/1.1.58/Lua ... arch_queue

While I'm on the subject of grumbling: The event interface of on_research_cancelled is also different from the previous research queue events: This is a bit annoying, as you very often need a common handler for all on_research_xxx events. (However, I would like it better if the "old" events also had this new interface, but that's probably too late to change).

Maybe. It's similar to the act of killing an entity vs destroying an entity with destroy(). One will generate the on-entity-killed event and one generates no events. Overwriting the research queue is similar to the "destroy" vs canceling the active research and re-queuing anything that should be queued.

Different events have different data. That's just how events work. Sometimes the data is the same, sometimes it's not. But there are no guarantees that two events with the same data will always have the same data.

Sorry for complaining so much.
Perhaps the documentation should mention that the force is also provided in event interface.

Good spot, I fixed the docs for the next release.
