Thank you for adding the number of autosave slots to The Rest!!!

[Usul]

Please explain where "The Rest" gui is. I don't have that. I have "Other", but do not see "The Rest".

[badtouchatr]

you have to Control-Alt-Click on "Settings" on the main menu.

You have to hold some modifier keys when clicking settings.

Just as I reported on 1.1.73, with 1.1.75 I am unable to upgrade from the game itself (1.1.74, macOS x64). It says no update available. The CDN is so slow, an full install will take about an hour to download.

Sorry about this, I did the steps necessary to make the update package from 1.1.74 to 1.1.75 work for all macOS users now. Unfortunately I can't test this change right now so please let me know if it still doesn't work. There was a mismatch due to the new architecture string (x64/arm64) which took one extra release to fix without workarounds, future versions should upgrade just fine from the get go.

Another thing not on the changelog: Mining drills marked for deconstruction before ejecting an item will return that item when they are deconstructed instead of destroying the item. Thank you!

Modding

• Added LoaderPrototype::allow_rail_interaction and allow_container_interaction.

Interesting, especially the "rail interaction" part. Any details/docs?

Does "containers" also include non-container entities with an inventory, e.g. crafting machines?

When did native loaders pulling from cargo wagons become a thing?

In this version

I presume "containers" in this context means "everything except trains", but I haven't checked.

Loaders can push/pull from rolling stocks starting from 1.1.75 because i was playing a certain modpack and i was missing this feature. Basically if allow_rail_interaction is set to true (or kept at a default value which is also true), a loader will search for a rail and subsequently search for a rolling stock which will be then passed to the shared update logic of a loader to push or pull items from an inventory. All other interactions that are not Rail/RollingStock are going through an "allow_container_interaction". It may be a slightly poor name but it is consistent with some internal names where there exists a targeter called "container" which can point at various entities with an inventory with which a loader was interacting with. Loader to rail interaction is just an addition to the loader's logic of finding an entity to interact with and rest comes through a shared inventory-to-belt item transfers code.

I decided to not mention loaders being able to interact with rolling stocks in "Features" or "Minor features" sections because loaders are primarily modding entities and most of the players playing vanilla only would be confused about new stuff or would incorrectly assume loaders are inserters.

Well, I have work to do. :>

"Certain modpack"
Loaders in 1.2/dlc confirmed?
Make belts viable for megabases again!

Looks like it.
from Update 1.1.72

Graphics

• Loaders now show their item filters in alt mode.

Looks like loaders getting some attention, what could that mean?

He said on discord that the modpack was SE+K2.

He is just undercover very deeply

Looks like it.

I also noticed that one, I am really hopeful. Right now there is just no way of high-throughput beaconed anything except furnaces with inserters being so slow in vanilla.

Sorry for the delay. I tried again at a later time and it worked. Thank you for the followup.
