On action_delivery, the source_offset only gives final offset to the beam starting point and doesn't rotate with the shooter. This is different behavior compared to laser-turret where the source_offset of the attack_parameter itself provides a rotating offset where it follows the rotation of the sh...

Does it get the track rotations right for turning left vs right?

Since the animation while rotating counter clockwise is backwards and while clockwise its forward, yes

TL;DR Vanilla tank should have animated tracks while turning on the spot What ? Right now the tank's tracks are not moving when you turn on the spot. But with some simple spritesheet rearrangements and image splitting and remerging done, it can be animated while rotating. I have tried that already ...

I would've needed this already years ago when I started adding mod cars XD But yeah a max speed limit property for car prototypes would really help create more realistic cars. Without them you don't really have control over the max speed unless you play around with mass, consumption, friction and th...

I would love it and could make use of a turn_range support for artillery type turrets and ~ wagon turrets. Currently they always have a 360° aiming circle regardless of the value that you set in the gun's attack_parameters of the artillery gun. Now I dunno how the artillery logic is implemented, but...

I'm currently making a mod again. I'm trying to make an "ammo-turret" that only aims at "car" s that have a certain trigger_target_mask . I'm doing this by giving the turret a new TriggerTargetMask {"air-unit"} as attack_target_mask , {"ground-unit"} as ignore...

Can you provide a copy of the mod for testing?

Both 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 have the bug:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/kj_40kbunker/downloads

I tried to fix it with a custom-input where I would be teleported out of the bunker per script but it seems the game doesn't wanna do that too. I used the script from the cargo ships mod and adapted it to my use. It works on all other car/train prototypes but not my bunker. function ExitBunker(e) lo...

I'm making a lot of car mods lately. My newest "car" mod is a stationary bunker. It cannot move but shoot. It has a collision_box of {{-4.5, -3.7}, {4.5, 3.7}}. Whenever I try to exit the "car" after I entered it, it won't let me. No obstacles in the way, just me and the "ca...

I recently made a video about it:
