The other QoL mod I think is essential (which none of us mentioned at the time!) is bottleneck - having the little light on a machine telling you whether its running or not is so incredibly helpful and the vanilla alternative of "open each machine and look" is painfully slow
An excellent point; bottleneck is very important. You can look at the machines to see if their animation is playing (I've been doing that a bit in the Jen's First Factory since it's pure vanilla), but it's much slower than looking for the red/yellow/green light.
So many of the QoL things you mentioned wanting to keep are in base game now. Mech suit = jetpack, the in-game encyclopedia now does what recipe book used to... Anyway, you're valid and I'm excited to see what you'll think of Space Age/2.0
It has been quite annoying! I want the achievements and the bragging rights though, so I'm sticking with vanilla for now! I've got bots being built though so I'm through the worst of it!

Agreed, so much has been included! My most popular video (ltn) is now hardly needed! So much has changed.
So far, I'm enjoying 2.0, but I haven't got to space yet, so it's basically still just Factorio 😀
I lasted a whole 3 hours in space age before i put long reach in, the buzzing every time i clicked on something drove me nuts

cardinal and ordinal
Aha, that seems to be right! That gets to 8 anyway, I think I usually have vehicle snap at about 16 to give more flexibility.
