The main problem with any such queue system or delayed calling is handling save/load. I can't serialize a closure with upvalues and ones without aren't guaranteed to point at anything valid when de-serialized (maybe you changed your function names between saving/loading). What if it triggered a rem...

This queue mechanism is interesting for modders. Super useful if a modder would be enabled to create different types of future events (plus data). In this context: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=33441&p=212499&hilit=filter#p212481 forget the first part, ---> Timers Oh ...

Pre-Purchase: Wow, I think I could get into that (watched Zisteau's videos). Post-Purchase: Yep. This is my life now. Later (10 hrs): Whoa trains and robots!! Much Later (50 hrs): Whoa this thing has circuits!? Even Later (100+ hrs): I still haven't gone to space... What I've loved about Factorio is...

At the very least it would be nice to have more event types in the Mod API: http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/defines.html#defines.events That way Modders can do whatever they want with Alerts (personally I'd like to see someone work on an alert stream published to a log which could be read by a th...

I wouldn't say the feature is implemented until it has GUI support, but yeah from your link it does look like it should be relatively simple to support "Organize saves into folders by game/world". That being said, I'm not sure if that gets to the spirit of the request, which was to have a ...
