I'm pretty okay at writing code, but totally unfamiliar with factorio. Before i set off on a journey of discovery to find that I'm in a dead end, I'd like to get a sense of feasibility on some ideas I have for modding the game. For each of these, I'm interesting in knowing whether the modding system ...

Good idea, I didn't realize I could just experiment with the editor like that.

There is definitely some strange behavior when a train program has no stops at all (and all the behaviors are interrupt-driven), it doesn't seem to notice interrupt state changes.

But, as long as the train in question ...

I'm trying to figure out train timing:

Three trains are at a station in automatic mode, each trying to navigate to another station, but that station currently has limit 0. On tick t_0 the station goes to limit 2. How do the three trains prioritize which two select the new station? How often do the ...

Have they changed the way assembler machines keep stacks of resources? I could swear in .15.x and previously, an assembler machine would keep two products in reserve if its output were backed up (say its inserter was turned off), but now I'm looking at an iron gear wheel assembler in my new map ...
