This sounds like a modding interface request, not a documentation request. But also the docs are incorrect, the value is given off to mods as 32-bit floating point. You can tell by the horrid imprecision.

That's great news! Thank you.

That also doesn't say what speed means.

To be clear, my "real goal" here is to be able to identify what entity was just destroyed as soon as possible after the entity gets destroyed. Is it your mod's entity or some arbitrary one? Because in the latter case another mod can always screw you over and it will be within reason. Eith...

There is also 99799.

That's also a month later.

I looked into this and it looks like there was some confusion in the past. Someone with source access made a pull request that claimed it fixed that report. When in reality it was code to fix this report https://forums.factorio.com/99793 Is that the right bug? Your "fixed" declaration pre...

This has been claimed as fixed , but the bug came back. I made a new thread, since the old one seems too old, but feel free to merge them (and un-resolve) if you disagree. Steps to reproduce: 1. Put the following into the data stage: data:extend{ { type = 'item', name = 'fancy-new-item', icon = &quo...

The code from that report also causes this bug.

Paradoxically, the game works fine if I define a new item like so: data:extend{ { type = 'item', name = 'fancy-new-item', icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/crash-site-spaceship-wreck-big-1.png", icon_size = 64, icon_mipmaps = 4, stack_size = 100, fuel_category = 'nuclear', fuel_value = '4MJ'...

Steps to reproduce: 1. Execute the following line in data stage: data.raw.item['uranium-fuel-cell'].burnt_result = 'uranium-fuel-cell' 2. Start a new map. 3. Observe that the game hangs on map load. Expected behavior: Either the game can be played normally and the item produces itself when burnt, or...

The tracking of which mod changed which prototype seems to be very reliable, so that could be used to figure out what may need normalization. But instead of each data:extend I'd do it after each individual data/data-updates/data-final-fixes.lua is done. The problem is not that the game has to handl...

A less breaking version of this would be to normalize in data:extend(), so you can initially set either version but when reading you always get the array version. That would probably be more implementation work though. You could do that with a mod. But also dealing with direct assignment will be co...

Some things are changed in 2.0 but most of what you listed are not going to be changing.

That's a shame.

• layers and everything else in AnimationPrototype

You do realize that layers are recursive, right? When do you stop then, if it's always layers?

Because of rich text, I'm guessing, but it's not documented on the page.

Hmm... maybe this isn't so doable, after all. A mod might do something crazy to interrupt the mining process (destroy the entity, ban the player etc.), the item event might never be emitted. Best is, I guess, to check the top entity on the stack to see if it has been destroyed already, since that an...

Are you suggesting that when I mine two entities in the same tick I will always get the mined entity event for one, then the mined item event for the same one, then the mined entity event for the other, then the mined item event for the other? I'm not sure how to test this assumption experiments wo...

It has occured to me that this will also let modders implement a selected_prototype analog for custom input on modded GUI elements.

It must be noted that the location is interpreted to be in display units (scale-agnostic) as opposed to the more common GUI units.

Please add a new localization section named "string-mod-setting-global" or similar that the game will check second after "string-mod-setting" that does not require the setting name as part of the locale ID. No. This is commonly solved by letting you specify a localized string is...

Can sequences of these two events be interleaved? Doesn't seem so. Then it seems simple to match the events: all you need is a stack and a tick number.

There is also on_entity_destroyed.
