Couldn't you just remove the item from their inventory and throw it back on the ground? Possibly, but the event parameters for on_picked_up_item don't specify where the item was picked up from (so the mod won't know where to put the item and it would end up putting items on the wrong belts, bringin...

Hello, anything is wrong with this thread. If i go to View unread posts, this thread is always listed, although i read it 100 times. Could the admin please check the settings, Is it pinned or something? Edit: After writing this post it vanished from the list. Greetings steinio Same for me I'm guess...

Will it be possible for the server owner to allow mods to be downloaded directly from the server (Instead of requiring the mod portal). This would be necessary for servers that: - Change the mod in some way (Like modifying config options in a config.lua) - Don't want to publish the mods files public...

Hi. Sorry I don't understand well about networking. But I want to ask about something written in the blog. 1) In the next update (0.13), if we want to play multiplayer, we need to login and verified with a Factorio account (factorio.com)? Well then, will the in-game name changing function be useles...

As the event system is now, I cannot prevent a player from picking up an item that they aren't meant to. If an event handler could cancel the "on_picked_up_item" event, then this would be possible. This could work as a .setCancelled() method on the event. So the handler would run "eve...

One thing I'm wondering still is how will this game finder support modded games? Will there be space for a URL or something next to the game name to let people grab whatever mods are required? The mod portal will be used to download any required mods Can you download mods from the server directly i...

Thanks for the response.

I might be able to work around this in my case by having the .destructible property of everything in the area to false when the area is claimed.

A suggestion for the event parameters: - entity - The entity being damaged - source - The entity doing the damaging - amount - The amount of damage - cause - String describing how the damage occurred (e.g. "projectile" / "rocket" / "collision" / "biter") I nee...

So currently we can generate a map without starting the game (or on a headless server) via command line using factorio --create savename However this always uses default map generation settings and the freeplay scenario script. To generate a map with specific settings and scenario for use in a dedic...

Hi, I'd like a way to prevent a player from performing certain actions. The first of these is picking up specific items. I can partially achieve this by listening on the on_picked_up_item event, then removing the item from the players inventory, but I can't replace the item on the ground where it wa...

I read in another thread that one thing holding this back is copyright. For some games, they have a central repository for the mods where developers have uploaded them since the copyright terms did not allow redistribution via local game servers. So the problem is more legal than purely technical. ...

Rather than saying "You don't have the right mods installed", it would be convenient if servers auto-downloaded and used the right mods directly from the server along with the save game. The downloaded mods would only be used with the multiplayer server, and not affect the client's other w...
