Also custom sound?

Funny that even the examples from the docs themselves declare an array.

What would be even better is something which I don't think exists yet: per-direction variation arrays, e.g. SpriteVariations4Way and AnimationVariations4Way. These would respect the prototype random_variation_on_create property and also the runtime graphics_variation property, so that rotating a va...

The game currently does not support the concept of overlapping logistic networks. Entities that register in logistic networks can only be in 1 network at a time so overlapping networks simply are not supported at the engine level. Oh, so it does actually support it. You just have to let prototypes ...

Suppose there are two overlapping networks. Which one should process logistic requests?

I think, if it specified the names as "[1]" and "[2]", a person familiar with Lua will understand those are indices.

I don’t think that defaults need to be entirely localized to the structure. Especially if they’re intuitive for those who have worked with the game for awhile (assemblers defaulting to electric, furnaces defaulting to burner, etc.) So you advocate for raising the entry level to modding? Not that I'...

It says type is a tuple, so probably supposed to be an array {RealOrientation, Vector}.

Alternatively, just make the default depend on the entity it's used in and make the type property properly optional in all cases.

See point one.

instead of a one-size-fits-all approach to localizing the quality tiers Is this statement in any way based on source access information or are you just guessing? There is no indication that it isn't already implemented the way you want, e.g. each tier may be its own separate item with a prototype p...

IMO, it shouldn't allow omission even if unambiguous in certain cases. To elaborate, there are two reasons for this: 1. It disrupts the locality of the definition. You have to look at the outer context to see what the default value is. 2. It makes the codebase harder to extend. Imagine some propert...

Guess what else is expensive: spill_item_stacks. Spawn item entities manually if you want something remotely performant. As a bonus, you can put an entire stack into an item entity instead of a single item. If for whatever reason you are bent on using spill_item_stacks, you should be asking for it t...

Shouldn't you want one per rotation instead?

Often when I look at mod dependencies, they appear to be sorted, but not always. Sometimes they aren't sorted or only partially. Would be great if the sorting was ensured.

Shouldn't you better be asking for an entity flag that makes it keep graphics variation on fast replace?

As part of the Space Age work we had to bite the bullet and change tiles to support up to 65'000~ tiles. It means more memory used and potentially save file size but it's now going to be there.

Prominently seen here. You click the link, it takes you to the top of the page instead of the description of draw_text the original link was pointing at.
