Equivalently, there could be "recipe of," and then you could make the assembler have the recipe of the output item instead of having the chest use the output of the recipe.

Currently you can get around this by changing the constant to something else, then when you are editing the parameters, make the default value whatever you actually want. I have been doing this but it is a little annoying.


Further improvement would be to allow player to merge two parameters ...

It would also be nice if the parameters did not disappear when I modify the blueprint.
So far, I have been doing this by creating a combinator in the blueprint with some random signals, and then once I have set all the parameters, I save them and delete the combinator from the blueprint. The ...

As shown in the video, blueprints can add wires, but not remove them. This means that a pasted blueprint may be broken, even when super-force building, if it is being pasted over some existing wire connections. I propose that when placing a ...

This machine should make 0.5/10*1.4 = 0.07 items per second, but it instead displays 0.06 on the tooltip.

TLDR
Split half-digonal rails, which are currently a single rail block, into two different blocks which are placed at the same time, so that signals can split them in half.



Currently, half-diagonal rails are one unusually long block, which results in strange and unintuitive behavior like the ...

I understand the reason why this is happening, I just think this is wrong. At least the graphics for this situation are incorrect, given that the two blocks are not shown as connected.

I don't think this is the same because this is on straight rails and those are on curved rails. I saw those when searching before I made this.

As you can see, although I have a crossing with four signals, one on each end, the left side is still one block, despite the fact that at the crossing I can see the block being split into two pieces.

The behavior changes depending on where you build it too:

Please add this. We have linked pipes now and it would be really useful for things like the space elevator.

Train pathfinder heuristic could just be +1000 for each surface transition, it doesn't matter if it is bad sometimes because adding it would be so good.
For the two joints, just pick that it ...

Sorry, this is caused by the cursor enhancements mod's keybindings overriding the clear cursor keybind. It is not actually a bug.

In the map view, when holding a blueprint made from copying, clear cursor does not work with this configuration. In the same situation clear cursor does work when pressing enter using this configuration.

Currently, abbreviations for various numbers are "k" for 1000, "M" for 1000000, and "G" for 1000000000. These can be used when setting circuit network or other number box values for quicker typing. I propose the addition of the abbreviation "h" for 100. I commonly type the number 100, & it would be ...

Currently, there are ten parameter signals, which are very useful. However, they would be even more useful if there were more signals. Currently, if you want to make a generic crafting blueprint with two machines (so both take out of the same chest), you can only use it when the number of ...

I also would like a way to add more parameters without adding "dummy combinators."

This has been implemented in 1.0/2.0. In 1.0 Spidertrons were added, which have logistic slots. Now in 2.0, tanks get logistic slots when you unlock the logistic network research.

Am I missing something, or is there no way to get a display panel to show the signal count as the message content other than by making a separate message for each possible input count? I thought this was the main point of the display panel.

In previous versions, I always researched utility science pack first because I wanted logistic network, and then production science pack afterward for things like assembler mk 3 & express belts. In this space age, logistic network uses space science instead of utility science, so utility science is ...
