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 ...

Aside from efficiency modules, no module type would have any effect on agricultural towers. They don't actually produce anything, they just automatically harvest plants.


Speed can be used, as you could have a tower that harvests slower than the output of its field, so the speed module could ...

Hi, I would like to suggest allowing for fluid to glow in the dark in pipes.

Right now, a fluid has flow_color, which tints the fluid visualization in pipes.

I'd like to suggest having an extra boolean property that would signal ...

This can be closed as this has been added recently

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.
