Does anyone found a way to use the new api methods/properties to launch a cargo-pod ?

I tried and for not this is what I got:
viewtopic.php?t=126691

I have two cargo pod owned by the same force "merchants", one is on nauvis (storage.merchants.nauvis.surface.player), the other is in orbit of nauvis (storage.merchants.nauvis.orbit)

I would like to launch a cargo-pod from orbit to surface with animations and everything

For now I tried :


local ...

As for now, wires are rendered as sprites that get transformed.
Because of this, wire strictly vertical and wire shadow strictly horizontal get 1 pixel wide and not antialiased :
- Wires can't be made thicker verticaly
- Wires hide when big poles are out of view but wire still goes in the view ...

Minor Features
- Added drag-to-reorder to the research queue.
Changes
- Replaced the "move forward" and "move backward" buttons on technologies in the research queue with a draggable handle.

The best 2.0 update

Sorry, didn't see your post, I've put details on why it would be interesting and what changes it would need.
Setting Parent Body for a SpaceLocation

This is neat. Currently us modders basically need to keep a spreadsheet of all planets to avoid collisions with other mods in the starmap. This would be a welcome feature.

This would not prevent them to colide, but it would be less likely

Something interesting is that someone could make a final ...

For now we have :
distance :: double : Distance from the location's parent body in map coordinates.
orientation :: RealOrientation : Angle in relation to the parent body.

It would be interesting to add
parent :: string : Name of the parent SpaceLocation, optionnal, if not set it would work like ...

One thing I really would like to see is alternate search languages to allow searching with internal keys or english (or a secondary language you choosen) when you don't use english as display language.
So if you are french, you could type: "plaque de fer", "iron plate" or even "iron-plate"

This ...

The reason I asked for this id because I was interested in updating the Belt Visualiser mod to implement lane-splitter, and it has the feature that when you have an item in hand, it display the potential path for this item, and use the mentionned properties on splitter

lane-splitter works simirlarly to splitter but don't have splitter_filter and splitter_output_priority in api

As I"ve calculated, most quality is based on a multiplier of 1/3 so the minimal quality would be of -3 (-3.33333)
There is still some edge case, like electric poles, which is based on increments of 2 for their range and wire distance, this put the Big electric pole to a minimum effective level of -1 ...

As for now, when adding a new quality, it can only be positive, it would be interesting to let define negative quality.
It would permit to define that something can be worse than normal

For example, I'm making a mod where everything you hancraft is of Makeshift quality, meaning it's worse than ...

I've tried to make a map 7-segment display using the lines signals and found out that the display panel display a display panel if no condition is fullfilled, same if no icon is selected.

As a display panel can still be explicitly selected as an icon, I would ...

Or use Helmod ...

The fact that it's finally dicted by a lua table is the most exciting thing of the feature.

Why:
On still image this is doesn't really bugs me but ingame where items move on belts, this show a small imperfection in the factory

Actual behavior:
- On Down or Right belts (red on image): items are rendered from start to end
- On Up or Left belts (yellow on image): items are rendered from ...

Filter frame has some misalignment when in button mode
It give this result

This is how it should look like

I tried fixing it manually but I don't know if filter_frame is used elsewhere, it needed to update this in style.lua:4450 ...

TL;DR
LuaControl.move_crafting would permit to reorder crafting queue without quirks
LuaControl.begin_crafting and LuaControl.cancel_crafting can cause unwanted side effects when reordering and need some hacks to prevent them which cause other unwanted side effects.

What ?
LuaControl.move ...

Sorry for posting in the wrong section, in fact if you can, can you move this in the Modding Interface Request since it is where it belong.
I'm not asking about another mod doing things, I'm asking about a feature fors mods to use.
Linked-chest are cool and there is a lot of cool things we can do ...

TL;DR
Linked-belt would link two belt-lines wherever there are (could be on two different surfaces).

What ?

Linked-belt would link two belt-lines and merge them into one belt-line wherever the links are, they can be really far appart or on two different surfaces ...
