Does this mean, we can now have modded inserters only taking from one lane of a belt?

i'm pretty sure "chasing" referred to the behavior of following the items that are moving along the belt, which sometimes causes not being able to grab them if belts are too fast for that inserter type (especially if power gets too low and inserters slow down even further), and it has nothing to do with selecting which side/lane of the belt it takes an item from.

the contrast of the new button icons is pretty bad on Linux. that's supposed to be a railroad piece?

At least for Windows/ steambuild the icons are about fine, as my screenshot show above.

At least the sleepers in the railway icon should be spaced out a little bit further. Should be possible by enlarging all icons a little bit, most of the space in the button fields is unused.
By the way, I like the new more minimalistic style.

Does anyone else find it weird not only did a factorio staff member post to the Ideas and Requests board, that the idea was implemented almost two years later? Would make a bit more sense if Bilka wasn't a staff member at the time...

@rseding91 do you just keep a journal of random ideas that haven't been implemented yet you flip through every so often, or did Bilka bring it up again?
I have mods! I guess!

...this was actually a game bug, so it may be wise to back down a tad on the hair-trigger to point the blame elsewhere in the future, especially where there was nothing in the changelog that would normally be attributed to causing that new issue with a given mod.

That is how development backlogs work. The issue was probably categorized as feature request and therefore low priority. But sometimes, devs take time to implement some task, they just happen to like to implement or for wich they got an idea how to implement it, out of order.
Devs aren't construction bots (for wich the task order is set in stone). ;)

Have you forgotten to mention statistics GUI improvements on purpose?

Klonan, please make the new gui remember the selected time interval. The gui already remembers the selected products, after all.

+1 (Just for the current session would be fine. I don't think it needs to persist in the save).

Also hoping for 3 significant figures. The difference between 1.0k and 1.1k is 10%. (If you don't want to put 3 significant figures on the main production screen, them maybe add them to a tooltip somewhere?)
