First world problem. Experimental warning is annoying.

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Perhaps it could only be displayed once?

My guess is that it's this warning:

The simple solution is not to pick a specific version of Factorio, instead choose the experimental-0.14 branch which will automatically update to the newest experimental release.

IMO that warning *should* be annoying, to encourage players stuck on old betas to join the rest of humanity with a more modern release.
Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.

Makes no sense, cause this is what you really should do.

Ah yes. It's intended to be annoying because people sticking around on old builds giving us bug reports and spreading information about experiencing bugs we already fixed is bad for everyone.

Thanks! Due to popup fatigue I didn't read it all :)

My first world problem has been solved.
