Currently, setting the maximum on a logistic request to "inf" does not actually behave as if the request has a maximum of infinity. Rather, it behaves as if there is no maximum set. The difference is relevant when Trash Unrequested is enabled, as a request from N to inf will auto trash any...

Okay, and? Being able to work around them with an ugly kludge doesn't mean obviously wrong things shouldn't be fixed.

... If this is the intended behavior, then the value is not named correctly. It currently behaves as if no maximum is set on the request, which is not the same as setting a max of infinity. It should be renamed to "none," or "n/a," or something similar, and then "inf" ...

It trashes what I didn't request. I only set one value. No, you didn't. You created a request with max of infinity, and requests with a max of infinity shouldn't have special behavior that doesn't make sense just because you happen to find that behavior more useful than what should logically happen...

I'm not the Factorio team, but "trash unrequested" not overriding "to inf" would make it almost useless. 99% of my use for it is "set max to min on all requests". It doesn't make any sense for that use case to be satisfied by Trash Unrequested. If I create a request fo...

I strongly disagree and request this be changed. The way logistic requests work is that items above the configured max get trashed. The way Trash Unrequested works is that items without an active request get trashed. If I create a 0-to-inf request, I am requesting between 0 and infinity of the item ...

With personal logistic requests, at least, setting a request to have a min of 0 and a max of inf while Trash Unrequested is enabled causes all items of that type to be moved to trash slots. The expected behavior in this case is that the items would not be trashed because they are part of an active l...

Personally I've never seen the point of efficiency modules in beacons even if they were a net positive. Power generation is really just not an issue once you've either teched out of coal or expanded to extra coal patches. Efficiency modules in general are used to reduce pollution rather than power ...

This definitely should not be implemented via logistic groups. There's no need to pollute the logistic group selection menu with a bunch of virtual groups only used for signal transmission, and constant combinators should not double as universal wireless receivers. There are problems with that both ...

I don't think speedruns are the right metric here. The complaint is really about the play experience being awkward, not about it being literally slower.

No? Elevated rails are a Nauvis tech.

I don't have to imagine it, that is literally what I did when I made the argument. Or did you miss the part of my last post where I mentioned techs from other planets?

Built. If you want to use , you must , full stop.

Which seems to be hinted by the game, as that's where you unlock the super-labs ?

This is what I'm saying. I don't think it needs to be this way. I don't feel this way about any tech other than cliff explosives. You don't feel this way about any tech other than cliff explosives. Others don't feel this way about cliff explosives at all, or may feel this way about some other tech....

The problem is feeling forced to go to Vulcanus first. For the record I would support cliff explosives being a late Nauvis tech, or having per-planet cliff explosive researches. But you very much are not forced to go to Vulcanus first. You personally feel the benefit of cliff explosives on Gleba is...

What you're suggesting likely will not be done, as it allows productivity to be exploited by running lower quality crafts on a machine until the productivity bar is nearly full, then running a higher quality craft to complete the productivity bar and get two items of the higher quality for the price...

Crafting something with the average quality of the inputs isn't going to happen, because it's exploitable. But there could be an option for lower quality recipes to accept higher quality inputs. That wouldn't be exploitable.
