My initial intent was, like you expected, make a proper market. But I don't see how I can make it more or less convenient with current gui available in mod. And ATM I can't legally traverse recipes in mod, so I can't generate prices from all available items and up to date ingredients. Exchange where...

In minecraft you basically grind to progress. You need to do A LOT of manual work or A LOT of exploration to find required resources. In df your progress is limited by many many factors. Including the fact, that you need to dig a lot to find required ores. And you need to spend a lot of dwarf/hours ...

So, you have this big shiny factory that could mass produce rocket defence, if it was possible. But now you don't know what to do with all this goodies? Then this mod is for you! Sell high tier items to get their cost in raw resources, with some bonus, back. Then build more factories, produce more g...

Uh. Thanks. Info on wiki could be a little more verbose. At evening I totally failed to understand what's written

I added messages.cfg into locale/en/ folder.
But when I call game.gettext('msgname') it returns 'MISSING TRANSLATION'.

messages.cfg contains no bracketed sections. Just a bunch of key=value messages.
Names of items and technology with description are localised fine.

What I'm missing?

@Xterminator - I guess power setup depends on available amount of coal and oil. Both were mediocre at best in my case, so I had to switch to solar early. As a result I had to stick with supercompact and supermessy factory and all free space was covered with solar panels and arrays of batteries. As f...

I completed my first hard mode game (after 2 unsuccessful tries), and have some mixed feelings about it. I failed first attempt by overbuilding furnaces. Basically 5th smelter was causing biters attack that I couldn't handle. So, early stages of the game are damn slow. Second attempt failed due to r...

Eagerly waiting for 0.11

I always thought that numbers in statistics - available/maximum are number of idle bots and total number of bots. But I just noticed that max number is fluctuating! No new bots were inserted into roboport, and no bots died in combat (there were no combat), but max number was changing over time (decr...

If you read original post - I tried to do this with tech name. The game don't like really long tech names. I doubt it's different for items or entities.

Also, this prototype shouldn't appear anywhere. Not sure if 'enabled=false' will work for item prototypes.

For all mods. All available receipts. no it is not. You can use it in many places. This is kind of comment that is worse than no comment at all. i corrected your error so other people new to modding don't get confused ;) data.raw can be used in almost any file you want. There is no rule saying you ...

Not sure if bugless implementation is possible, but still.

Chest with inventory shared between all instances

Actually switching between applications have nothing to do with the bug.
The bug is that you can place items while the map is open. Which is at the very least weird.
If you ask me, I prefer to drag-to-pan map with mouse and use wasd to move character while map is open.

Now that I think about it, what I really need is ability to get ingredients and result(s) from receipts
And ability to get type of ingredient, to distinguish raw resource from craftable.

I've not tried it on hard mode yet I had no problems with TC before hard mode too :) As I noted - there was constant and huge stream of biters. I was simply standing behind forward bunker without any chance to move forward. Anyway - building from inside is safer and not as slow as you might think. ...

data.raw is only available in data.lua
I want to analyze it and use result of analysis in control.lua
if script-output folder was in require search path, then yes, it would be possible to generate file in data.lua and require it in control.lua

I'm trying to calculate cost of items in raw materials. But atm there is no legal way to do this! I have all information required in data.lua, but I can't pass it to control.lua I tried to create dummy technology with all data encoded in technology name, but I've got this error: Error None: Error wh...

Most of you probably know this method, and the only thing that calms me down a little is the fact that Fish will (probably) feel the same as me after reading this post :) At least he was trying to solve the same problem and failed. To the point. I'm playing hard mode. And I realized that my iron wil...
