I made an web application to manage .cfg strings. It can compare main .cfg(mod author's language) texts with outdated/incomplete/traslate-exclusive's .cfg texts. Main purpose is to find missing keys and merge into previous incomplete .cfg file, and rearrange key lines same to main .cfg. https://x260...

corrupt_save_test.zip I was playing with events, I tried to log every events in global table. I found a case that allows save without warning but making cannot load the save again.

I just updated Event Trace mod,
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/0-event-trace

Now saving event log at global variable scope became possible if gvv mod is active too.
They are in collaborative now!
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/gvv

My mistake. I didn't know built-in /c command already can access mod's sandbox using /c __<mod_name>__ header. So I updated gvv to 0.2.1 and removed /g-c command I was made. Still you can see source code of them at 0.2.0 source if you have interest. Also I made gvv to generate pasteable code to make...

Also the one example you listed out of all the things in concepts not working is a LuaObject and has .help(). Nope. I can't access help function.

Everything listed in https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Concepts.html is just basic tables; just iterate them to see what properties they have.

And iterating the object in concepts such as giving me only a __self key.

.help() already works on all of LuaBootstrap, LuaRemote, LuaCommandProcessor, LuaSettings, LuaRCON, LuaRendering. Are you sure? Try this on base 1.0 /c local a={game,script,remote,commands,settings,rcon,rendering} local fail={} for _,v in pairs(a) do local b,c=pcall(function() local d=v.help() end)...

I'm making a global variable viewer. And it now have tree structure gui and can dig inside infinitely through tables and luaobjects having table-like properties. And added a function to open directory of default global luaobjects too. I'm using .help() method to get available property names for obje...

Ah, not only game.
If script, remote, commands, settings, rcon, rendering of scenario level are inside of global table of scenario level,
They also causes crash when global is called by remote from mod.

I was making a mod to monitor global table of other mod or map itself and encountered a crash. After tracking, I was able to extract short code causing crash. I wrote short sample mod and scenario to help you reproduce crash. Load both and try /test command in game. Crash log is included in zip file...

I'm trying to make custom artillery vehicle.

Yep. I also don't know why... I guess it is not prepared "yet". But you may can "teleport" that via - Check existing spider-vehicle s with LuaSurface::find_entities_filtered at around of destination position in destination surface. - Do LuaSurface::clone_entities for teleporting ...

They were introduced somewhere around 0.15.24 when exporting PowerSwitch wires for blueprint string was added.

Aha, I got it. Thank you for letting me know that.

I thought it is a bug because there is definition about relationship of power-switch to copper-wire in API, https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/defines.html#defines.wire_connection_id but a staff said it is not a bug. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=508991#p508991 I recognize the omissio...
