I got a 1x1 assembling machine that has an input and an output, as shown below: As you can see on detailed mode; this entity has 3 icon graphics drawn:
- The recipe icon in the middle of the graphic (backgound)
- The input fluid icon
- The output fluid icon
On small entities (like this 1x1 assembling machine entity), this can become too much to be useful.
On the other hand, when I set the entity to be a furnace, it doesn't show the fluid input/output filter, only the recipe icon, which provides enough information, and is much clearer.
Kind regards
