Can't mods do that as is? If a mod wants all traffic to a planet to go through a moon of that planet, can't they just change the various routes so that they all go through the moon, with only the moon having a direct route to the planet?


That maintains the problem but switches the two bodies ...

121788 is a Modding request to implement this, with details of the underlying APIs and links to previous discussions.

It is indeed already possible to create Routes only between certain Planets/Moon orbits. Space Age has no direct route between Vulcanus and Aquilo, for example. PlanetsLib is a ...

The non-aesthetic part I envisage would be that moons etc would be able to be along the way to a planet instead of a weird short offshoot

Would this just be a visual thing or would it impact platform motion?


The non-aesthetic part I envisage would be that moons etc would be able to be along the way to a planet instead of a weird short offshoot, so platforms could pass them instead of needing a detour: this would allow modders a ...

The native ability for modders to place moons and rings on orbits round the relevant planets, rather than on tiny arms-to-other-planets

This would place moons on the way to their planets, rather than off to the side

And it would also allow lower sun orbits, and multiple planet orbits for whichever ...

This bug is visible if you load "Muluna, Moon of Nauvis" version 2.6.13, though I suspect this affects all tiles that destroy items. Normally, Muluna dirt destroys items that touch it. However, if one places a tile on top of Muluna dirt that does not destroy items, items can accumulate on if ...

Hi! BHakluyt here, Engineer #3356201846 signing in:

It seems my makeshift computer only has clear transmission on the full moon.

I see Factorio Bot tried to sent you a bunch of corrupted messages earlier. Apologies for that, its always busy in its shack. We were taking a quick breather with the ...

I just updated to 2.1 and have tried starting 3 different games...

I didn't see ANY ore on the preview map.

On all three I only see the starting ore in game. Now I have not made a long journey looking for distant ore, but Radar coverage hasn't reviled any new ore deposits.

On the third game after ...

For me the main problem are orbits and space connections:
- unfortunatly space connection curve selection is actually unsolvable with planetslib currently, if we could at least have a way to define our own curve
- for orbit I proposed that planetslib would get shipped with a set of pre generated ...

I did not see anything relevant in the api, but it would be nice if we could display a planet's space rendering from lua. Mainly to cover for one feature of visible planets in space, where it also displays planetslib moons around the planet you currently orbit.
Also to let Cerys use those graphics ...

i would like to up about two thing I think would be interesting:

It only spawns on certain tiles, so the terrain and ore generation have to meet up in order to spawn it. Sometimes you get unlucky and you get none even on a planet/moon with a high spawn chance.

I'm playing a standard SE/K2 playthrough on 2.0. The closest moon to Nauvis is supposed to have a large amount of Cryonite on it (231% frequency, 86% size, 92% richness), but after scanning the entire planet, there are no cryonite deposits. It doesn't appear to have frozen terrain, so maybe that's ...

It would be nice if the localized name of a planet could be overwritten in the control stage.
Ideally it should also take priority over platform names, but since those can already be edited in the control stage there is no immediate need.

This would allow mods to deliberately change the icon of a ...

when trying to hide a surface from the remote view starmap the only real option currently is to mark the surface as hidden.

hidden surfaces still show alerts (which in my opinion is a good thing), however the alert center loses the ability to navigate to specific alerts on said surface.
