After I play the game often freezes or even blue screens when I try to close it down. Then, the next time I want to play, I have to restart my computer otherwise it just hangs at a black screen. I've tried waiting for the black screen for 10+ minutes, restarting steam, verifying the integrity of the game, deleting config files. Nothing works. Any suggestions?

I've looked at a number of other posts on here regarding restarts, but they all seem to be slightly more serious issues, or not really related. It's hard to tell when the game is this hard to just play.

I have a very bizarre scenario. I've been using interrupts to run multiple iron, copper, and uranium trains no problem. I just decided to go from 1 to 2 coal trains, and create interrupts so they would run in the same way (so that if a pickup station was full, they would automatically reroute.) Oddly enough now when they pull into the coal unloading station the inserters grab 1 handful of coal, unload it, then stop. If I switch them to manual, or create a fix schedule, they work fine. This has to be a bug right?

I've been trying to set up my first freighter route from Vulcanus to Nauvis where basically the freighter runs orange science, tungsten, and calcite to Nauvis. What I would like the landing pad on Nauvis to do is offload the requested items from the freighter into networked storage chests, but still count them as part of their inventory. The UI seems straightforward on this, but after setting up some arms with filters pushing items into storage boxes, and linking it with a wire, the landing pad does not see the contents of the storage boxes. I can switch it to request only what is currently needed, but I would like to essentially keep a minimum stock of the supplies. How do I do this?

Also,

I needed a ceiling vent for players to drop down into a room, but UEFN doesn't have one. I thought I was clever by rotating default the wall with vent prop on its side and changing the textures. However, the vent still tries to swing left to right, then glitches out and breaks. Is there a way to tell it to hing up/down?

A friend of mine is restoring my Royal Junior, which has a bent arm on the V key and missing W key. She's at an impact where she can't find the missing key or a replacement arm. Does anyone know a good place to find these? eBay seems to be the only site. Supposedly the keys are ivory, but I would settle for a replica.

I know you can do it with customizeable lights, but it's a bit of a passion bringing in a light prop, turning off the light, then moving a custom light in place. I think the answer is no, but I just wanted to double check before I give up on my quest.

I thought I read that you share weapons, but after starting a second character I only see the starter ones. Does anything carry over from character to character?

So I rarely scrutinize my transactions, but somehow I only just now noticed a Sling transaction on my credit card, despite having cancelled 4 years ago. Doing a quick search on my bank account, I found monthly transactions at least back to 2021 (which is the earliest I can pull data online). I have a confirmation email from April 2019 from Sling that I cancelled. I do not have any welcome to Sling emails after that, so I don't believe I signed up again in my sleep. How do I get back the approximately $1900 Sling has stolen from me?

Some article I read said that all you need to do is increase the rooms size, but I doubled the student union, and it still says 14 students. I also tried adding another set of seats to the lecture hall so more people could watch movies, but that didn't work either. How do I increase capacity?
