And what are the developers waiting for? Why is it not being implemented?
Do they want to coincide the release of innovations with the release of space travel missions?
Yes, they're holding all the breaking changes for the 2.0 release.

Re: Railway stations – Hell for a perfectionist

This is because rails are on a 2-grid, wagons are 6 long, and have a 1 gap between them.

Re: Filter inserters: Prioritise item pickup based on Set Filter signal levels

It's not a random order, it's based on the internal item ID number.

And the new combinator will let you build this.

Re: New Research - Drone Charging Speed

I briefly scrolled through these replies, and I don’t believe anyone has brought it up yet, so I’m just dropping in to remind you all: Higher quality robots will have larger batter capacity, and higher quality roboports will have an increased charge speed Both of these bonuses will be determined by...

Re: New Research - Drone Charging Speed

Roboport density has to be raised as robot speed upgrades are researched, even at a constant bot number, because power consumption becomes dominated by the "per tile traveled through" component (5kJ/m), while the time based component becomes negligible (3kJ/s). The quicker the bot, the fa...

Re: New Research - Drone Charging Speed

I'd be OK with something that would help the bots scale a tad bit better in the endgame, but I do agree it should be carefully balanced not to make the bots OP compared to the other logistic options. My vote is for battery size. Let them travel longer without needing to recharge. Most of the chargi...

Re: A convenient turn

Then they're asking for a default settings change that would only benetif people with expensive mice.

And that makes it obvious what the response should be.

The only thing you mentioned that you can't do is move conditions between stations, but you haven't given any benefit for this (I've never felt a need for it and can't think of a reason I would).
Copying between stations, on the other hand, would be nice.

We can test it already. Some madlad back-ported quality to 1.1. Wait, really? Is this a mod I can download? I'd be curious to try it. Edit: Is it this one? https://mods.factorio.com/mod/janky-quality That's the one. Don't run it alongside anything that adds items though, or you'll run into factorio...

Even if the game enforces that "if it can be made in the hand, it can also be made in any assembler,"
It doesn't.

Re: Allow an encrypted version of the token to be stored

I work on servers with service accounts that automagically decrypt everything so much that I had honestly forgotten that. You just get used to storing everything encrypted, and trusting the service account to have the keys and sort it out for you. Of course, then when you get it it's already been au...
