Recipe's item ingredients are sorted since 0.16.31 due to https://forums.factorio.com/58757. Ordering is based on ItemGroup's order_in_recipe and if those are equal it uses item order. The only change that could be done is to have a RecipePrototype explicitly opt out of the ingredients sorting ...

Hi, even when playing with item order and subgroup, I couldn't get a consistent ordering of items/fluids in recipe tooltips.

The most logical ordering for me would be to prioritize items that are declared the most (for example, if the recipe needs 12 steel and 1 plastic, it'd make sense for the ...

Hi,

I would like to suggest adding "transports_character" to https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/pro ... otype.html, true by default, but act as if players have the boots if false.

Hi,

Feature
My suggestion is to add surface_conditions on items, structured the same as recipes or entities, but the effect would be that the item gets destroyed when changing surface.
Another possibility, maybe more optimized, would be to add "forbidden_items" in the planet properties. That way ...

Something to consider: if the result is like recipe results, that means you could have several items out of 1 spoiling item? That would mean you could hit a container max and items would need to be able to spill, but I guess that's already taken into account since it can already theoretically spoil ...

A simple suggestion, which I think is clean and clear

Hello, I noticed that fluid_box.pipe_picture isn't rendered on generator prototypes.

I tried using assembling-machine-3's code: doesn't render (only the pipe covers)

I tried putting my own pictures as cover: it renders correctly

I tried making my pics transparent to be sure it's not rendered ...

+ 1, adding a way to spoil into a random result (based on a probability value) would allow for new gameplay possibilities.

In the 2.0 changelog:

- Removed "axially_symmetrical" property from RotatedSprite and RotatedAnimation definitions.

Yet this property is still present in 2.0.60's API doc.

Ok, I was sure of my tests, but I can't reproduce the problem as described. The loop indeed comes from the charging, which seems to ignore the probability setting (maybe that's intentional?). Disabling charging sound in today's tests makes the working sounds behave as intended.

Sorry for the wrong ...

Hi, thanks for looking at it. The problem also happens when I disable charging sounds completely. Hold on, I can make a version that shows the problem while only having the working sound.

Hi, in my mod, I'm replacing the sounds of bots with random speech sounds.

Attached: 4 short videos showing the problem

I did several test to isolate the problem.

For example, I made data.raw["logistic-robot"]["logistic-robot"].charging ...

Suggestion: add the ability for a quality to tint items / entity (combined with "draw sprite by default = false", it would give an alternative way to represent quality)

I think that Custom Licenses or "you can't do that!" are very Silly in this context


I know what you mean, but I think the license is meant as a way for modders to express their wish toward how their mods can be used by other modders, and not really like a legal text for a judge.

In that way ...

On a discord server, we came to have a big discussion about licenses with several modders.

There are some points that transpired that I think should be heard:

- Several people have expressed how lost they were with licenses, and they end up with one that don't represent how they wish their work be ...

Hi, I would like to suggest being able to control several things about the spider-vehicle prototype
https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/prototypes/SpiderVehiclePrototype.html

Right now, we have access to: height, torso_rotation_speed and torso_bob_speed.

Request:
I would love to be able to ...

Currently amount of lightnings generated is based on the surface's darkness - its not quite the same as LuaSurface::darkness because the darkness used for lightnings is not capped by a value set by LuaSurface::min_brightness. Primary issue is that right now the darkness is 0 at day and 1 at night ...

+1

Instead of just on/off, I suggest being able to set the warning icon based on lightning type. That way, you can make it transparent, or another type of icon.

Lightning has a great potential to become a ton of things for modded planets. e.g. on a Dune project, we might plan to use that system ...

+1, it doesn't really make sense to have color LUTs defined per hub instead of per location


It's apparently per hub PROTO, meaning unless you add a new hub type, you can color space ONCE, and it will always stay at hour 0, so even if you define a cycle, it will keep the same color. Just tested ...
