Factorio Forums

Quite a nitpick here but I noticed Factoriopedia reports Demolishers as only yielding 1x of the corresponding Demolisher remains. Not sure if this is a bug or a compromise due to some technical limitation.
(Big Demolisher entry shown but the same for all sizes)

I am not seeing any bugs here. Factoriopedia shows "Big demolisher remains" which is an entity that is spawned from a demolisher segment, while the deconstruction planner shows yield of mining all of the big demolisher remains, which are tungsten ore.

"Big demolisher remains" != "tungsten ore" and as such those numbers have nothing in common.

The second image may have made this unclear, the issue is the Factriopedia reports only 1 Demolisher remain is yielded when there is actually many more, 39 in my example.

E.g. I would expect the yield in Factoriopedia to show 39x Demolisher remains or whatever the exact number/range is

Eh... Demolisher consists of multiple entities, a head, multiple segments and tail. So what you are describing is that when opening factoriopedia just for the head of a demolisher, a total yield of all entities that are part of a demolisher should be added up and shown in factoriopedia. I have mixed feelings about this since this adds a lot of edge cases to factoriopedia to handle, but maybe thats needed to avoid a "programmer approach" where demolisher in factoriopedia is considered just its head where yield is correct.
