TL;DR
Add a new circuit signal option to entities with inventories (or possibly everything) that emits a value of 1 for itself, i.e. a Steel Chest would emit a Steel Chest value of 1.

What?
The simplest implementation would be just a checkbox for something like "Read self" with a tooltip, but ...

+1 for this! And a personal suggestion to call the toggles/filters "sowing" and "reaping".

Hi, I made a small mod that changes the network selector labels to use the red and green wire icons instead: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/circuit-network-selector-wire-icons

I would like to suggest a change that can't be done with mods, that these checkboxes instead could be toggle ...

This is an improvement, but I still wouldn't consider it "good", as I think it takes too much of the challenge away. The biggest example of this, which has also already been mentioned by others, is water supply to nuclear plants, which sounds like it'll be almost trivial to solve now. I hope you'll ...

Pipette a train in the train GUI to get a blueprint of the whole train (minus cargo and fuel) and its schedule/group. Saves you finding an existing train, waiting for it to stop and then carefully selecting it and weeding out other entities.

My questions, apologies if already asked:

Can I build two platform arms next to each other, and throw items over the gap with inserters?

And will the growable terrain mechanic be available for mods? I can imagine how awesome it would be to make creep actually grow!

Countdown until some wizard modder has made an auto rail upgrade planner

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 Pristine ...

Yes, I looked at the mods and they seem good, if not very good BUUUUT... I am worried about their integration ...

Incidentally, other than the absolute capacity of the track, you *should* be able to solve this with more trains.

I'm much more inclined to ascribe this to a human design error than a bug, though, and neither requires a change to the pathfinder or train schedules to continue to work ...
