I would like to make the same request (7 years later)

Can be moved to implemented

Hi, I've noticed that there's no way to not display all lightning type in the lightning attractor description.
I can restrict the construction of lightning collectors to surfaces, change the resistance to another type etc. but every lightning collector will always display every type of lightning in ...

Confirmed in another thread yes

Hi, I would like to request a way to have lightning strike only when there's an entity there, so not on ground.

Right now, In lightning_properties::exemption_rules , I can add "impact-soundset" or "prototype" or "id" or "countAsRockForFilteredDeconstruction", but I would like to add to this list ...

Hi, after checking that it's still not possible in 2.1, I am again asking for this feature since the feasibility of it might have changed since 2.0, and because I think the request is still relevant.

Hi, would you mind clarifying how items are sorted when recipe::sort_item_ingredients is false.

I now realize this should be moved to Modding interface requests, sorry

Hi, I'm kindly proposing to add spoil_time_multiplier (positive double) to ContainerPrototype.

This way we can create "fridges" or "spoil speeders" for unique mechanics in mods.

Here's how it could be communicated

My own use case for this would be more limited:

I would like to be able to check if a file exists in my own mod.
What it allows: dynamically replace resources (sounds, texture) from vanilla based on if they're present in the mod with the same path.

My mod idea would be: iterate through every sound ...

Hi, my suggestion is based on the recent addition of "draw_as_glow" for fluids. I suggest being able to make a layer of the crafting machine glow too.

Implementation could be:

- recipe would receive crafting_machine_glow = {primary = true, secondary = false ...}
- Working Visualisation would ...

Hi, my suggestion is to display contributors to the mod page, because they're sometimes people who worked a lot on a mod too, they deserve credit, they sometimes become the main developer, and they can become the main point of contact for mod maintenance or external contributions.

I also suggest ...

Hi, the mod portal allows titles with emojis, yet they won't work ingame.
Note that the unicode symbols that modders will opt to use instead will show up in the installed mod list, but not in the update available list :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :?

Hi, I came back to modding today and noticed a new bug from a report on my mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/minimalist-rails .

My mod adds rails, ramps and elevated rails. The upgrade planner recognizes every section from the normal rail to be replaced by modded rails.
I have the robots, the ...

music_already_playing_mode = "interrupt" or "wait" or "play-on-top" or "interrupt-suddenly"

Hi, I know this request is a stretch, but hear me out.

The recipe tint system allows me to have fully distinct animations on machines, by using this trick: having 4 distinct working_visualisations on assembling machines, then making them all transparent but one with tint alpha 0. Example:

10-12 ...

In the same spirit as this request: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=131071, I believe it would be cool to be able to make liquid glow in machines. Currently, there's:

crafting_machine_tint =
{
primary = {82, 199, 238},
secondary = {82, 199, 238},
tertiary = {82, 199, 238 ...

Hi, I noticed while making a menu simulation that this setting seemingly doesn't work as intended

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/types/SimulationDefinition.html#game_view_settings

The save in question has been saved in normal mode, the way to bypass this is to save in editor mode, which makes ...

Hi, I would like to suggest adding a way to influence the chance that a simulation will appear early on.

Why?
- When modders add simulations, they usually want to make sure their work is shown and not drown in Space Age and 2.0 menu simulations that (while great) most people have already seen 1000 ...
