Re: Distance limit parameter for `spill_item_stacks`
With 2.0 getting stacking inserters, could this 10 second freeze issue be solved by spilling items out in stacks? Yes you could have a lot of item types (up to 65k times qualities), but it's usually relatively few item types.

Flamethrower turret #fluidbox == 2 but crashes on .get_filter(2)
The prototype has 1 fluid box, while in game 2 are visible when printed. However, .get_filter(2) crashes While running this code from a mod I am developing: local fb = entity.fluidbox for i = 1, #fb do log(entity.name .. " " .. #fb .. " " .. i) local filter = fb.get_filter(i) ......

Ability to put mod buttons in the top right button bar
What? Let mods add custom buttons on the top right button bar to open their interfaces. Why? In vanilla, the top right bar is used for various interfaces - trains, achievements, production, etc. In vanilla, the toolbar is for tools - special items and toggles. Currently, mod interfaces are commonly...

Re: Diminishing returns on parallel research
2.0 will alleviate the issue of researching too fast with the introduction of trigger technologies. You would have to produce or mine a certain item to unlock a branch of the tech tree, which means you can't research things before you can use them. In general Factorio is a game about linear power in...

Re: [0.16.x] Choose-element-button middle mouse click event
Another request for this feature. In the mod FilterHelper, we do interactions of all 3 mouse buttons, using sprite-button. I want to add support for Q on the buttons when using Cursor Enhancements (or 2.0's Q on anything feature), and found that the way to do it is with a locked choose-elem-button a...

Re: Rail Signal to restrict certain train combinations
The game Sweet Transit (made by a former Factorio dev!) has this feature.
It lets you put requirements on signals according to various attributes - train length, train speed, certain routes, and more.

Re: [0.12.*] [Pending] Bug or Realism? The Flash in Factorio.
Walls can be passed with a walking speed bonus somewhere between 546% and 564%.
Considering quality armor with quality exoskeletons, this might happen now in a vanilla 2.0 game, depending on what bonuses exoskeletons get from quality, with a large enough equipment grid from a quality armor.

EquipmentPrototype states energy_source as ElectricEnergySource but it can be different - No, just confusing
The EquipmentPrototype page shows energy_source specifically as ElectricEnergySource rather than a generic EnergySource. Some mods, e.g. Jetpack successfully use a battery equipment with an energy_source of type = "void". There are many other places where energy_source is set to specific s...

[1.1.94] Visual inconsistency when layering icons on equipment

The icons look OK when viewed on the armor equipment grid, but are completely off when hovering over the armor, which also shows the equipment grid.

Re: Inserters should support the "Anything" signal for stack size
It doesn't matter how it is implemented, the only thing important is that it chooses one of the signals, in some way that doesn't really matter to me. My use case is sending just one signal anyway. That said, it indeed would be nice if that signal was the same signal chosen as filter. Again, won't m...

Re: Inserters should support the "Anything" signal for stack size
Arbitrary means it's not something specific i.e. it's not max, min, or anything useful for users. Yes it's an internal index, that's OK. I've been wrong about the "Everything" one, the "sum" part is because it's a combinator so it's added in the output, irrelevant for our case. A...

Re: Inserters should support the "Anything" signal for stack size
It means any arbitrary one. Just like the "Anything" output on a decider chooses an arbitrary signal.
You could even have an "Everything" to sum up to the signals, the same as how the condition works.

Inserters should support the "Anything" signal for stack size
