Have you thought about adding integration in the form of a recipe change for glass?

I prefer it when the material-providing mod is responsible for the integration. For example IR2 added glass to lamp recipes (both this mod's and vanilla's small lamps).

This thread is cancer.

Logistics bots don't have the "working" state. Those flying bot states are hardcoded and can't be added or altered by Lua mods.

What I want to do is give logistic bots an idle animation, as in no matter where they are facing.

Unfortunately this is not possible. "Working" animations on flying bots can be animated, but idle and in_motion cannot. See viewtopic.php?f=58&t=71940

In vanilla Factorio there are only four furnace recipes and it makes sense for those particular recipes to have productivity enabled. A modded scenario can have many, many more furnace recipes (as well as other new machines and processes which have to use the furnace prototype) and it may not make s...

I can't answer with posila's authority but these are observations / educated guesses. Sorry to dig an old thread, I have a additional questions. Is there a performance or loading time hit from defining or not making mipmaps? If there is it must be pretty minimal. Either the mipmaps are loaded from d...

I am wondering what the role of the one-way flow valves for steam/water and the small steam collector tank is. The valves say they prevent backflow, but I don't know how/when that occurs. Does anyone know? Are they relevant when you want to pipe steam over a long stretch, or when having multiple bo...

Hello Deadlock! I'm busy putting together an Alt-F4 article about interesting modding hacks by various mod authors, and I remembered reading this interesting sentence some time ago on 92112 . Would you like to expand on it - like saying where it's used - so that I can add it to the article? The inv...

My preference would be to change the documentation rather than break all the mods which currently compensate for this, probably some artifact of passing stuff between Lua and C++.

This feels like a large step backwards. Bringing the bloated, laggy style of the mod portal to the API docs wasn't anywhere on my radar.

Please let us keep the option to keep using a completely minimal style when we're searching for documentation.

I have been playing the game a lot recently, but there is one thing that really bugs me out: When I process ores with ore washers, I have circuit systems to manage ratios and stuff. When I process for example Iron ore I will get both pure iron and pure chromium. But sometimes the chromium is backin...

Explosions have these parameters: fade_in_duration :: uint8 (optional) fade_out_duration :: uint8 (optional) scale_end :: float (optional) scale_initial :: float (optional) But explosions can't be scaled independently in the x and y axes or rotated to arbitrary RealOrientations by script. Rendered ...

Currently transport belts are hardcoded to use render layer "transport-belt-endings" for just the end segments of belts, while start and middle segments all use "transport-belt" which is lower in the render order. I am guessing this is so that endings work around the usual top-to...

The list on the mod portal's Trending page hasn't budged for at least 6 weeks. There are mods on the first page of results that haven't been updated for 7 months and don't have a particularly striking number of downloads. The order hasn't changed once since at least early June and probably before th...

+1 for ignore_target_mask at least on ADEs. It is currently impossible to get them to ignore entities that a turret entity equivalent ignores.

So what is the formula in the source code for mapping orientation to direction? There is some info here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=30074 Thanks. From that I found a way of converting turret orientation to the frame number ("direction"), it's probably a stupid/ho...

Re: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaEntity.html#LuaEntity.orientation I have long suspected that for entities with arbitrary animation directions (vehicles, turrets, radar) there is not a linear relationship between the RealOrientation of the entity and the animation frame. I have struggled f...

Re: https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Turret 1. What are the units of attacking_speed, folding_speed etc.? They advance the animation state of the turret, that much is clear, but what's the relationship between animation frame and the float value? 2. What is folded_speed? It's the speed at which ...

Oh, very tasteful.
