I suggest adding "Max. 30 filters." to both entity_filters and tile_filters. People should be aware of that since trying to add more crashes the game.

1. Lua API documentation improvements should be posted in bug reports or modding interface requests.
2. It does not crash the game, it gives a mod error.
3. It does not give an error in data.lua when setting entity_filter_count = 31. The error only occurs in control.lua when trying to set 31 filters.

1. Thought it would be the best place for documentation improvements.
2. Sorry for unspecific phrasing.
3. It works if you increase entity_filter_count beforehand. Didn't think of that! Thanks for pointing it out.

The maximum number for entity_filter_count seems to be 255, not 65535 (uint16) however. There is something wrong with the wiki after all See https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Dec ... lter_count

It is.

Fixed. The data type is ItemStackIndex (uint16) as already given on the page, but it's manually limited to not be larger than uint8 max.
