I was told:
I didn't expect this and I'm sorry for it but it's probably like 2 people who have this problem
Also we don't have any supported system for migrating signal types to other types so it's simply gone.
Normally i dont feel the need to post here, but this comment made me overcome my aversion.
Please tell that guy to read this thread. Even just me personally know more than 2 people using all virtual signals (myself included). In many places. Its why they exist, isnt it?

This is most un-wube response i have ever read on this forum.

There have also been workarounds posted right here and offered other possible solutions and yet, we are basically being told, we made oops, but we also dont care. Please dont let my high opinion of you guys fall like this. Your attitude to fixing bugs was one of the reason why Factorio is such a gem of a game.

Given the amount of friction removal of this signal creates and pain of trying to migrate it to something else, this signal will be restored for 2.0.36.

I wonder if this means we're gonna have 2 identical-looking icons for signals.

Agreed. This is not the company we've known.

Thank you, from what I see this is a good decision for now. Perhaps a different icon or other migration can be added in the future. I appreciate the number of decisions you guys make on a daily basis, some of them are bound to be worth revisiting.
