I think it is possible to make 10x10 snake in 40-70 combinators, and definitely with 20-30 changes per second.

Oh I'm sure you could. Like I said, this is my first project with combinators, I am by no means an expert!

I am wondering, how many combinators have you used to make this snake? Because I see about 150 comb only on your screen, and for some reasons I think this is not the whole system. It ended up being about 500 combinators. What you are seeing in the picture is just the screen controller and a bit of ...

Oh man, that is awesome! I most definitely did not search enough! Thanks for the link!

I noticed that there are not many people creating cool stuff with the combinators in factorio. They are infinitely more powerful than redstone in minecraft, yet the coolest thing I could find on the web was your scrolling sign or the christmas light show. I spent the last 10 hours or so making snake...

This mod would solve all of my problems, bring all of my hopes and dreams to life and give hope to my great idea of a self expanding base, if... it were for my version of the game. Please update it to the newer versions of factorio. Hey Zimmie! Thanks for showing interest in my mod! I actually have...

if you take a bp of the deployer with a bp in it you wont get a repeating setup it will do like 3 copys good find. This is actually intentional. when a blueprint has a deployer in it, if that deployer has no blueprint, the blueprint deployer that gets placed by the deployer will inherit the bluepri...

Dont wanna be the bad guy, but don't you need to include the original license in the mod?

Its there, unless I put it in the wrong spot. Mind helping me out?

Version 1.0.0 is released! Try it out and give me feedback!
Here is a video showing what the mod can do: https://youtu.be/YZa1hStfKn4

The mod I am currently developing has items and corresponding entities that are never directly accessible by the player. I would like to hide these from the player on the signal screen(in a combinator/smart inserter/lamp etc). Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,
ZachAttackary

Either the on_robot_pre_mined or the on_preplayer_mined_item to access the entity it would be event.entity.

so in your case I think you are going to want event.entity.name == "bf_bio_farm" then

I may be just dense, but where are you declaring entity?

From my understanding, everytime a player logs on with a new name, a new player gets added to the game.players table. Is there any other way to make a Lua/Player?

Fixed! Thanks for the heads up. First time posting, new to this whole thing.

I'm not sure if anyone is still interested in this mod, but here is my spin on it. Will upload download link when I've ironed out all of the bugs.

This doesn't appear to stop blueprints from seeing the entity. are you positive this flag does what you think it does? I looked online and I can't seem to find any information on it.

Dave! You are a genius! I've spent some time thinking through this solution and I totally can use it! Way cool! Thanks for the help!!!

Oh interesting. I'm struggling to see how you could use this for data transfer. if when you place the item it replaces the item with another item, how would you capture the data from the constant-combinator? If there was a way to leave the constant-cominator there, but hidden, so I could still acces...

Hello Everyone! I am getting into modding for the first time after playing this game for quite some time. I have a decent programming background, so I get the basics. I am making a custom building that needs to save some data with it. This is all fine and dandy until I make a blueprint of said build...
