In newest version of the game it seems that it's impossible to make low tree amount. I set tree coverage to 17% and there's still planety of forests around, also it looks like 50% of what "coverage 100%" looks like. I think this setting worked better in previous versions.

I don't like all changes to mod explorer, but that's just me being grumpy.

But one problem is bigger and breaks my flow. I'm used (from 1.1) to scrolling down through mods and reading their names, picking ones that sound like something I want along the way... But with new menu I must click new page ...

Base-game should give ability to skip music, or even implement in-game player (like in ParadoxInteractive games).

Reasoning behind it is - right now you have option to please one player (by disabling/enabling some ambient sounds in data phase). However it's impossible to satisfy many players if you ...

Yeah, I think it should be moved, too bad I've not deleted this one when it was yet possible. I guess there's some timeout, because I don't see like I could do it now.

Right now, I duplicated it to game bugs. So I'm fine if any moderator just deletes this post in this sub-forum.

I wanted to write mod that would allow to shift camera forward into direction that player is looking... However I've come to think that it might be impossible with current modding API. While maybe I could come up with some hacky idea of using cutscene, while forwarding movement keys somewhere, so ...

I know - vanilla game doesn't use warmup on weapons.

But if you make item attack_parameters use warmup it isn't accounted into shooting speed tooltip.

To quickly explain, this code :

rifle.attack_parameters.warmup=20;
rifle.attack_parameters.cooldown=60;

sniper_rifle.attack_parameters.warmup=80 ...

Ooh, yeah.. Cursor was also problem in my considerations... So it seems it's "very" impossible with current API...

Is there way to change default camera behavior of just following player? I would like for camera to move when player cursor is close to screen border, so it extends his view in direction of where cursor is.

I know of controller [https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaPlayer.html#LuaPlayer.set ...

Deathworld is be playable on desert. I even tweaked death world to be harder and played this on desert. I would say any settings that are not hand-tweaked are winnable on any map.

If you have insanely hard map generated by preset settings, you can challenge me by writing it's seed and I will try ...

+1, bump. I made mod with harder walls and siege turrets... But walls MUST be military target in order to get even considered and PLD now focuses walls that have high health...

ammo.ammo_type.range_modifier doesn't apply to entity called : "artillery-wagon-cannon" (which is also gun of artillery-turret)

in (10MB) attachment - you can see - blue shell clearly has 250% range modifier, but turret don't have bigger range after placing this type of ammo in it.

I did test with ...

I've made mod to disable artillery auto-fire completely.
It requires restart to flip it on/off though.

So there's still potential for mod that allows that to be flipped on/off without game reload.

I think devs might not want to add such toggle in vanilla game, as it would add new element to UI ...

TL;DR
Game could provide API for items that are needed to craft something, but don't get used in process.

What ?
I thought kovarex process and some modded recipes could benefit from that suggestion being implemented.
Right now - 40 U-235 needs to be ingredient in Kovarex provess and it returns ...

Typo!
data:extend(
{
recile_lube,
should be recipe_lube.
That's strange that nothing crashed. I guess data:extend just accepts nil and ends adding elements from table once it gots to nil. I would rather expect it to ... if not crash everything, then at least continue checking next elements.
Data ...

There's part of code in my mod : https://pastebin.com/8j7sGeA4 (whole file : https://pastebin.com/Sw9V7nzk)

In this part of code I define technology and add it to game. But it is nowhere to be found, I just ... don't have it in game.
Here's log from game : https://pastebin.com/cWfQiLjR my mod loads ...

Actually, version must (indeed) be the problem! I'm using 1.1.33
My big mistake, for looking at newest stable API. I actually must change mod requirement to be >=1.1.34

I got fooled that this mod was working previously (on 1.1.33), but control.lua must have been omitted somehow in my previous mod ...

But it should, right? In docs of LuaEntityPrototype it says LuaEntityPrototype has key air_resistance, that is either double value or nil.

my (kind of messy) mod control file. mod from mod portal isn't in newest(this) form

That's quite interesting in my opinion... Pipes and stuff could be empty, all fluids entering those turn into virtual fluids... Imo it sounds not impossible. I wonder if factorio API gives access to (fluid system contents) and (flush fluid system contents) this + manually adding fluids where needed ...

I'm very happy about that I was one day wondering why can't you turn base mod off, like in some other games, but this will be "some" way to do so.

Thanks for detailed response.

As for controlling train speed precisely, it's really minor problem for me, *actual* speed is always wrong by very small amount, but acceleration and friction forces are way more convincing and that's what I only care about.

If I replaced fuel power modifiers with ...
