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 ...

Hi, so far it's possible to change the color lookup table of planet surfaces and apparently, space platform hubs (I guess it would apply to the whole surface if I created a different hub prototype)
But it's apparently not possible to change the LUT of a space platform based on the orbit or spaceway ...

Hi, I have a modded crafting-machine, it has some fluidboxes. I have a separate fluid category called data, and I'm trying to have the specific pipes be infinite, instead of the default 320.
Every fluidbox I have in the whole mod has max_pipeline_extent = 1000000. When I use the flow_direction ...

My bad, i somehow missed that there's already a "not-in-made-in" flag, you can remove this thread

Hi,

I'm humbly requesting a new property in assemblies, furnaces etc (every entity that has "crafting_categories") that allows me to hide it from the "made in" part of recipes without setting the entity to "hidden" completely.

The reason I think this is "important" is that every prototype that borrows from the agricultural-tower prototype becomes basically just another agricultural tower. It's like not having crafting categories for assembling machines
Currently, you can basically do agriculture on my computer tower, and ...

I think there's at least 1 US based developer (Rseding91)

Hi, I'd love to be able to add qualities (see: Mythic quality mod for example) without losing this big QoL feature that is the quality buttons in the UI. The current behavior is that when there's more than vanilla qualities, it reverts to a dropdown menu. There's space ...

Thank you!
