Thanks for that! I was aware of the blueprint library and adding them to the hotbar, though I think I did overlook that I can have it linked to blueprints within the blueprints directory, without actually having them in my inventory. If that works with planners, that's all I need; however, I have a ...

Thanks for the reply!
That's my point, though. They're not items, really. You can access them down in the quick-bar just like you can remotes, wire, etc. They only "act" as items when you need to configure special information within them.

So, if we're only going to consider them as items sometimes ...

Probably not a bug so much as an inconvenience and/or unintended consequence.

I cannot get on a rocket and launch into space with Upgrade Planners or Deconstruction Planners in my inventory. This doesn't really make sense to me on why these would be considered physical items blocked from transport ...

Can I give a suggestion? I absolutely adore the snowy graphics. I can see why rails don't freeze over as it would be annoying to run a heatpipe along the whole length of a rail line.
But imagine how cool it would look to have the rails freeze over visually even though they aren't affected ...

I do think seeing which direction the fluid is flowing is an important graphical experience and I would like to see that maintained. With that said, I much prefer abstracting it's actual flow away, as you described.

Honestly, the longer the descriptions, the better. The more information I can digest, the better. And the further the rocket gets to travel when I'm done........the better.

I believe, as others have stated, you should absolutely include an ability to see where they're made. Just not all at once. We don't need that much exposure. Hovering over an item in the table and it highlighting where it's made and/or where its members are (and vise versa with members) would be a ...

Overall, I love this! But I also hate the names! I expect you will make them moddable though, right? I'd name them something like Crude/Low (and you only realize the quality wasn't even good before you unlock quality modules and see it), Normal/Nominal, High/Great, Exceptional/Superior and ...

Would really appreciate an update on this from Wube. Really looking forward to this. The suspense is killing me!

I've made one here: https://factorioprints.com/view/-Ms80Wm07C0K7wvNXTe8

Just requires the Miniloader Mod, which is honestly one of the best QoL mods you can have, IMO.
