This still brings up one of my bugbears for factorio - the inability to write comments/documentation.

I want to be able to make blueprints with complex, but well-defined and documented, input / output structures that I can look at in six months' time and still know how to connect up.

It's common to use constant combinators to tell the user what item goes on what input belt/pipe. Blueprints also allow you to provide some text.

Being able to plop down a block that allows you to enter some text would be nice, though. I'm sure there's mods that do that.

It could really do with a simple trick from minecraft: signboards.
