But for a while now I have 2 stacks of iron plates in my inventory. I can't unstack them. And every place I looked they always have a multiple of 4 stacks. Well, somewhere 2 stacks of iron plates must exist but no way to find them. Or maybe the aliens destroyed them.

I think it would be great if there was one recipe to unstack batches of stacks in belt boxes and another recipe to unstack single stacks by hand.

It's a bunch of extra recipe bloat to split hand recipes from machine ones, but it's doable - though I'm not really sure if the extra complexity is worth solving this one little annoyance.

IR has a hidden depends on the minimum version of Beltboxes that's supported. So it definetly is and won't let you use older Beltboxes that are incompatible. And I've been playing with them for some time.

What kind of error do you get?

If no, please post a list of all mods that are active.

This is a way in which IR reports incompatibility with other mods. You might want to disable mods you have in groups to figure out which one of them is causing this specifically and try to ask it's autor for a fix (aka IR compatibility).

Assuming that, the warning about the performance hurt of generated icons might get more visible; probably not removing the feature entirely, but I definitely don't want to encourage its use due to the performance implications.

You can do this sort of thing easily in Python with a library like PIL or Pillow

I am trying to use Pillow, the 'offset' command moves the image, but the graphics wrap around to the other side of the screen.

import os
from PIL import Image
from pathlib import Path

def create_newimage(output, input_64):
  i_64 = Image.open(input_64)
  i_64 = i_64.resize((56,56), Image.LANCZOS)
  newimage = Image.new('RGBA', (64, 64), color = (0,0,0,0))
  newimage.paste(i_64, (4,8), i_64)
  newimage.paste(i_64, (4,4), i_64)
  newimage.paste(i_64, (4,0), i_64)
  newimage.save(output)

finput = "./input/"
foutput = "./output/"

for dirpath, dirs, files in os.walk(finput):
    for filename in files:
        print(filename)
        create_newimage(foutput+filename, finput+filename)

from PIL import Image
import os
from pathlib import Path

def create_mipmap(output, input_64):
  i_64 = Image.open(input_64)
  i_32 = i_64.resize((32,32),Image.LANCZOS)
  i_16 = i_64.resize((16,16),Image.LANCZOS)
  i_8 = i_64.resize((8,8),Image.LANCZOS)
  mipmap = Image.new('RGBA', (120, 64), color = (0,0,0,0))
  mipmap.paste(i_64, (0,0))
  mipmap.paste(i_32, (64,0))
  mipmap.paste(i_16, (64+32,0))
  mipmap.paste(i_8, (64+32+16,0))
  mipmap.save(output)
  

finput = "./input/"
foutput = "./output/"

for dirpath, dirs, files in os.walk(finput):
    for filename in files:
        print(filename)
        create_mipmap(foutput+filename, finput+filename)

We saw similar weirdness within 0.17 when the mod was removed from an existing save and orphaned bits of transport line were left adjacent to each other.

*shrug* RIP loaders.
