A really nice feature! I have one feature request though to help with UX: Instead of a fixed number of signals from 0-9 I would recommend a tag/name based system. I envision that the system you presented would quickly run into a bottleneck of insufficient number of parameters, for beginners and adva...

As for tools for visualizing: are you aware of the existence of the Dear ImGui ? If you are using it, that's great! If you are not — both you and all the modders could be interested! As for noise expression - I am not quite sure I understand the need for the "noise expression engine" altog...

A slider wouldn't be able to achieve the same thing as S suffix, because "4*12" would mean "4 stacks * 12 stacks" which is equal to... 48 stacks² ??? ... which is not useful at all (probably), unlike "4*12S" which means exactly 4 times 12 stacks. If units worked like mu...

Nice additions! One thing I would love to be added to the game is the ability to change the station in the scheduler without having to recreate the whole schedule. [...] Highly agreed, The inability to change the selected station and duplicate them makes creating and editing repetitive conditions r...

Nice! Now it remains to improve the most important part of the Factorio gameplay (Quality of Life): convenient and fast construction of conveyors using automatic rotation of the conveyor towards the cursor, as is implemented in Mindustry. Or assign a key to change the operating mode (improving R). ...

[...] https://i.imgur.com/qZ8cdHX.jpg [...] Perfect visualization! This is exactly what I had in mind, thank you! i would note, putting the max draw distance in each time will cause complications your pic with one belt doesnt show... ie what happens when it runs into an existing underground segment...

Also, daaaamn, I was kinda hoping for new a new Lua version for a long time

I wonder why you didn't go one step further with visualizing the max belt range. While hovering in the range of the matched underground belt, display BOTH max range (blue or could be yellow) and selected range (green) if the belt was placed where hovering (green). See the image. With what you have n...

Yeaaah, nice big bulky machines, they fit perfectly, really like the foundry idea! On another note of feedback — have you noticed that (all) mining drill's digging sound is very dull and almost as if it were of a low quality??? Almost as if it was recorded with low quality microphone. It is pretty a...

[...] The second thing I'd like most is the ability to select certain properties from red or green only.. stuff like everything * everything would be a lot more useful if you could say "red everything * green everything". YES. Vector operations, would perform out := green <OP> red for eac...

This is nice and all... but does this FINALLY give us a way to 'sanitize' our inputs? [...] Yeah, I would really like see the "filter" functionality in the selector combinator. You would select a bunch of signals (like you do in the constant combinator) and you could turn it into a whitel...

Also maybe some UI changes could be done to color R and G? ... Take another look at the "Output" section, it looks like you can configure the color of signal output there That was my initial thought until I took another look, then I realized it just lets you choose which input to relay to ...

At least, the combinators of the XXI century :P Is it possible to send output signal only to specified network color? I see we can compare or send input count value from selected inputs, but there seems to be no selection on which output to put a signal to. I am for example thinking about a case whe...

I haven't missed the new combinators, this time no way to mistake the orange triangle for an inserter claw, it look like it is reducing something, maybe a filter combinator ? Maybe something like a sensor for the planet that would tell gravity or pressure or day-cycle ? Good easter egg find :P Anot...

Hmm, I find the weight limit quite weird, considering that a player character can carry a bunch of locomotives, reactors, several stacks of ore and a tank in his pockets. Logistic bot carrying a reactor and placing it just like that xD. Also seems like shoehorning a whole weight system just for a si...

Hmm... The surface texture of the platform seems a bit noisy and quite hard to look at. It's all blending into one mosaic with other entities on the platform due to all those small bits and pieces on the surface. It's pretty hard to tell where the entity begins and where it ends https://i.imgur.com/...

Easter eggs?

- Processing power unit productivity researched - extension to circuits?
- Redo button on the icons bar

- possibly remote controlled signal networks? (next to "train view" and similar)

Great update, Just wanted to point out that color blindness is a common issue. 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women are color blind. It would be nice to see some entity sprite variations that don't rely solely on color. Specifically for chests, but would also be nice for assemblers, belts, splitters and s...

Shadows based on depth maps next?

Really nice additions, the wire items were a real PITA.

Any news of changes for modding API of wire connectors or more entities with connection support (pipes, assemblers)?

I just hope for 3* things with this update: - a filter for blueprints and deconstruction planner for selecting top/bottom layer of rails only - some toggle that will allow us to see through the top layer and interact with the entities underneath - this: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/rail-decon-plann...
