Do you leave reminders when you have to stop playing? (files.catbox.moe)

Had to stop for IRL reasons. Was about to build a coal depot but I knew that saving at a blank screen would be confusing.

I’ve often thought that Factorio needs a comment block / sign post / notepad for just such a thing

They added a display panel just recently for this! It's actually pretty nice and can display on the mini-map if you wish. It can even display different things based on circuit conditions, if you want to get fancy!

Oh, "always show the first line" makes the line shown "independently of the mouse being over the device" and not "independently of the logical condition".

I still think that setting needs a better name.

This is exactly what I’ve been using since 2.0. Right before I close the game, I plop one of these down nearby with text reminding me what I’m gonna do next.
