Steps to reproduce: 1. load a new save 2. place a loader somewhere 4. select the loader with the cursor and run the command /c game.print(game.player.selected.direction) 5. the game prints the direction 6. place a ghost loader going the opposite direction on top of the existing loader 7. select the ...

It appears the on_entity_color_changed event is not raised when the new color of an entity is nil. It would be nice if it did; a change from something to nothing is still a change. My use-case for this is: I want to cache the colors of entities so I don't need to access entity.color over and over to...

The character_loot_pickup_distance_bonus in LuaControl is limited to a uint, while the character_loot_pickup_bonus in LuaForce gets to be a double. https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaControl.html#character_loot_pickup_distance_bonus https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaForce.ht...

I would like to specify a LocalisedString to be displayed for a surface when it is referred to, maybe it can be defined as a parameter in game.create_surface(), or a read/write member of LuaSurface. This would allow a mod to add locale for a surface name, and other mods could use that locale when re...

I'm working on a mod that adds a scenario. The mod makes some data stage changes that are required for the scenario. Because the scenario can be saved and then easily or accidentally loaded without the mod enabled, I want to add a localised error message if the mod is not enabled. -- example_mod/sce...

Amazing, thank you!

I am trying to make a sort of automatic rocket launcher ability. I expect that setting the "source" of the created rocket projectile entity to the player character should attribute the rocket's damage to the character, however in the on_entity_died event, the cause is missing. Steps to rep...

So... the issues does appear to be caused by the more fonts mod, but I don't know what in the font files would be causing it, maybe a missing glyph for new-line? I'll need to look into it more, but this topic can be closed

TL;DR The ability to know when a unit group is destroyed, via something like defines.events.on_unit_group_destroyed or register_on_unit_group_destroyed() Why ? When a cutscene target dies or is destroyed, the camera abruptly teleports to 0,0. In my trainsaver mod, to prevent this I register the cut...

Oh… lol to be honest I forgot that was enabled. I bet that‘s it, I’ll disable it later when I get home and see but I’m pretty sure that’s the cause

some screenshots for reference: the in-game mod manage page: [ backstory: this is what I originally wanted, but the bold font and other rich text tags obviously didn't work on the online mod portal page, so I edited the summary on the mod portal to clean up all the rich text tags, see second screens...

The mod portal mod summary does not appear to respect \n new line markers, and when creating new lines with the enter/return key an empty box appears in the summary of the mod's in-game install page. I want to be able to create nice legible summaries that appear the same on the mod portal and the in...

With version 1.1.71, the SDL and its audio backend has been updated to a newer version. Could you try out the new version and see if it helps? Also, version 1.1.70 introduces preferred audio output device setting. You should be able to switch to a newly connected audio device while factorio is runn...

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch factorio
2. connect headphones (I specifically used Apple AirPods, not sure if this happens with other headphones or not)
3. factorio doesn't switch the audio output to the headphones, so it still comes out of the main laptop speakers

When playing using GeForce Now, when the game restarts to update or sync mods the session ends. I have tried contacting GeForce Now support to see if they can fix it but they never replied, so I'm hoping that as the developers you have a little more power to work with them on it? It's not a big deal...

With the addition of entity.get_spider_legs(), using leg.name as a unique identifier is good enough, especially since it can be combined with the unit_number of the spider.
Thanks :)

Amazing! Thank you :D

Can you provide some insight on your usecase for such an interface? Yes, I’ve been working recently with renderings, and want to make a mod that adds glowing colored trails wherever the spidertron walks. I can make it work pretty well at the moment using a generic rainbow cycle for the colors, but ...

It would be nice if spider-vehicle legs could have a unique identifier like .unit_number or .id

Thanks

It would be really nice if you could add a .legs (array of spider legs) to spider-vehicles, and even a .spider (LuaEntity of spider-vehicle controlling this leg) to the leg entities.

It could also be something like entity.linked_entities or entity.grouped_entities.

Thank you!
