I would like to make artillery turrets able to target units. Or some way to make an ammo-turret that looks like the artillery turret, one uses RotatedSprite and the other RotatedAnimation, and I can't figure out how to untangle that.

Okay, I was able to make an ammo-turret that looks like the ...

Alright, I wrote a bunch more code (that I'm quite proud of) and everything seems to work perfectly. Although I imagine there are others who would still love a simple solution to this.

Next, I tried setting infinite = true, so the bars go away. Obviously, in order for science to work properly, I'd have to use control.lua to deplete the items from labs if the labs are working.

Edit: Got it "working", but now the problem is, it depletes an item every second even if that item hasn't ...

Some things I've tried, but I haven't been able to get rid of those green bars even when I am able to delete literally the rest of the user interface:

[*]delete all the pixel data from gui.png and gui-new.png
[*]loop through every table in data.raw["gui-style"]["default"] and do things like color ...

I'm changing all the data.raw.item to data.raw.tool so I can use them as science packs.

Any ideas on how to remove the green bar?

Thank you!

Okay, so I figured how to do this pretty easily.

The default spidertron corpse already keeps the color it had before it died.

So, in corpse.lua , change pictures to
picture = {
filename = "__core__/graphics/empty.png ...

Bump. I still want this functionality for spider-vehicle corpses.

I'm looking for a bit more realism in Factorio. I like to think of it more as a simulation and immersive experience, rather than suspending my disbelieve and just "playing it as a game".

And the most unrealistic thing to me is the player inventory and my ability to carry around thousands of entire ...

This has been a long and difficult process for me, and I've posted some misinformation in the original post a couple times. I believe at this point it's actually accurate. Sorry if anyone saw the version where I didn't realize the wreckage needed to be on the player force.

Good luck, modders!

The functions to create wreck items are in
prototypes/item/demo-crash-site-item.lua

local big_wreck_item = function(n)
return
{
type = "item",
name = "crash-site-spaceship-wreck-big-"..n,
icon = "__base__/graphics/icons ...

TLDR: There is a bug in Factorio: The developers wrote code to create items associated with crash wreckage, but the functions to create these items are never run. Therefore, the entities cannot be marked for deconstruction. To mark wreckage for deconstruction, 1.) add items that can place the ...

Thank you for the hint about ctrl-shift-F! I didn't know that.
I'm already using this code, and it only greys out the shortcut, it doesn't hide it.

Thank you for explaining this to me. I think it's awful, though. The whole point of hiding a shortcut behind a technology is that the shortcut isn't useful until you have that technology. Does anyone know of a control script to reset the player's "already unlocked" shortcuts?

Hello/

According to https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Shortcut#technology_to_unlock , it should be possible to hide a shortcut button behind a research. However, this doesn't seem to be working for me. In a new freeplay game (modded), I have all shortcut buttons available, despite giving them all ...
