[2.0.34] Missing icons (as you give as a new set)
Maybe its not a bug, but an oversight, but with adding new icon set you forgot this very usefull icons already in the game. They will be very usefull to make logic and interruption for space platforms. Please consider the possibility to add them for logic signals and Display panel icons set.

SpaceConnectionID was never part of SignalID so this is Not a bug.
Re: [2.0.34] Missing icons (as you give as a new set)
According to 119994 these “Signals” seem to originally have been intended to represent the Platform’s Location in Space on the Circuit Network, when using the “Read moving from” and “Read moving to” options for the Platform Hub. It is possible for a Mod to override the “hide_from_signal_gui” property, thereby making these icons available as a Signal (although I cannot point to any which have already done so).
However, this solution was not used. Instead, we have the “2+1” Planet Icon signal, which requires extra Combinators to decode the From/To value…. And changing it now would Break all existing Platforms so is unlikely to happen

The thing with space routes/connections is that you may need their directionality.
Going from SSE to Shattered planet may be different than going in the opposite direction.
The signals on the platform achieve that by using two signals (departure planet's signal with value 1, arrival planet's signal with value 2). If the platform is on orbit, its planet signal will be 3.

So it's a problem to add them for an icon set? Thanks for the clarifications.boskid wrote: Tue Feb 11, 2025 4:53 pm SpaceConnectionID was never part of SignalID so this is Not a bug.
Re: [2.0.34] Missing icons (as you give as a new set)
There is a subtle difference between 2 use cases that you mentioned and they should be treated differently. First usage you mentioned about "interruptions" (that i am considering to be about train schedules and space platform schedules) is about adding support for text tags for space-connections. Second usage you mentioned about "display panel" is SignalID. First one is decidable as a feature. During 2.0 development case of SignalID was decided that we do not want to support SpaceConnectionID in the circuit network (i was in favor of adding it but it was overruled).AnubiteDM wrote: Tue Feb 11, 2025 5:10 pm So it's a problem to add them for an icon set?

Thank you so much for the answers! But may I ask again? (I've always wondered what's behind making certain decisions during the development process). Why can't you add these icons to the set of things that the display panel can show? I'm currently making something like a control room for my space platforms, and I would use such an icon to quickly understand, even from the map mode, where a particular space platform is located. In the orbit of a planet or on the way. Yes, I can make three display panels, two with planet icons and an arrow in the middle (for example), but they are hard to read from the map mode. And such an icon would be very useful for me. Why not add it, at least just for the display panel (not as something functional from the example that you described above about schedules and their rich text tags, but as just a picture)?boskid wrote: Tue Feb 11, 2025 5:23 pmThere is a subtle difference between 2 use cases that you mentioned and they should be treated differently.

Spacing the display panels apart makes them quite readable.
