Well in the current situation (world-wide) it's understandable, you let us know so that's good. Still I hope you'll feel better soon, the holidays of the end of the year are coming.

Impossible for the input.

It doesn't matter because it wouldn't line up anyways when you rotate it.

Not quite sure what you meant, but thanks for making the idea work.

While I have you, should the train "add station" button immediately give focus to the search box for typing more letters?

And optionally, keyboard selection from lists would be good.

IE, my current workflow is

• Click train
• Click plus for add station
• Click search button
• Type name
• Click station I want
• Repeat steps 3-5

Whereas with focus and or arrow key selection

• Click train
• Click plus
• Type name
• (Optional down arrow to correct one)
• Click ( or press enter)

What kind of tips would you have found useful when playing the game?

I've actually somewhat been keeping a list of things like this. I have attempted to not include things that I'm sure will already be in there (like train basics).

• You can rotate a train while it's moving (if it's not attached)
• You can rotate fluid input on an assembler
• Before you unlock construction bots, you can still use blueprints to change the rotation of fluid input in bulk.
• Right click to make 5 of something
• Control click to make all of something
• Zoom out to see more
• Trees can be cleared with grenades and poison capsules
• You can use inserters to daisy chain science labs, and turret ammo.
• Use burner inserter with coal/wood and notice it fuels itself
• face burner miners on coal to each other so they feed each other
• Productivity modules are best on higher value items. The hig...

This is a bit problematic when you think about the implementation, as the stop edit box has already its name in the edit box, which would basically hide (almost) all the other stations.

But we can always add search to the window, it could help somewhat I guess.

Please make the train station name box filter the list under it, like every typing box in the game.

I ask every FFF that mentions trains on here and I've posted twice on the suggestions forum. It's ridiculous that this is the one text box with what appears to be a list of search results under it that first, isn't filtered like the rest, and second, is useless after 100+ stations

Speakingo of ghost building, when I try to build a blueprint on top of an existing structure (e.g. a rail segment) and the part I click on is a power pole, then shift-clicking will not force-place the blueprint (ignoring obstacles) but just disconnect the wires in the pole.
