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 41 U...

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:ext...

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 ed...

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 https://pastebin.com/5HcnzQzz (as side note, line 47 prints that we are deali...

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 zero'...

But when I try to use on_train_changed_state, somehow _on_tick gets fired first anyway. Maybe it's bug? Because specific event should always happen before timed events. //edit : changed screenshot, previous wasnt showing enough code. https://imgur.com/a/br4dVFk here's proof -> I mean proof that on_t...

I have two functions : script.on_event({defines.events.on_train_changed_state},__train_changed_state) script.on_event({defines.events.on_tick},__on_tick) I must know if train changed state before on tick, because if it changed state, I stop train, but function __on_tick is always firing before __tra...

Edit : I found this one : https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaTrain.html#LuaTrain.riding_state it's even better. Oh, it works very well! so I can now know if automatic triain tries to accelerate with (train.state == defines.train_state.on_the_path) and I can know if player train tries to accelera...

I mean, there is "unreliable" method to check if train was moving and if it is moving now. But the problem is with for example 40 wagons this method won't work. It will think train is not trying to accelerate, because game will change train speed from 0 to 0. How do I reliably know if trai...

max_energy usage will work exactly same as my [code]local LuaEntity = surface.get_trains()[...x...].locomotives["..."][1]; LuaEntity.max_energy_usage [/code]. I already tried it, and it didn't worked really. It returned 10'000 for every locomotive type. Doesn't matter what it's power was,...

I cannot get this anywhere. Lua entity, lua entity prototype, burner, burner prototype, nothing gives me ability to get information about what's vehicle acceleration power. I'm already looking for it for 4 hours, is it even possible? I'm losing my mind on how hard is to find such information, so I d...

For machine hosting I cannot advice you in few words, as it's quite complicated, but you could find some simple to use ready factorio servers (I don't know if it exist, but maybe it does) and if that doens't exist you can buy(or find free?) some remote virtual machine and use SSH client to access co...

I think what I will do is I will leave first player in 'player' force and start creating forces only from second player. It should have no downsides, and I should've anyway preserve "forces" as there are only 64 available, but still I think it might be considered bug / unwanted behavior.

Here is whole script : https://pastebin.com/22Uj4xYz * I wrote set_gloal / not set_global, but thakns to copy-pasting everything I can, this doesn't affect anything, function reference is same everywhere.. Output during game start is 1 player 2 rafiz force 3 rafiz force 4 rafiz force , when I added ...

In short - upon creating new multiplayer game (non-headless) this script : function on_player_created(event) local player = game.players[event.player_index] local newForce = createPlayerForce(player) game.print('1' .. player.force.name) game.print('2' .. newForce.name) player.force = newForce game.p...

Ok - I did my own lua to fix it.

I might even turn it into mod that will scale down enemies on far palces..

I have problem : my idea for scenario allows players to choose their spawn location, whole map is rather big and if you choose spawn far from center of map it is extremally hard to stay alive. What would be best solution to "flatify" map spawning ratios - so that instead of "than furt...
