Thank you Silari, I apparently missed that.

The remote view seems to show all surfaces available in the game, even those generated by mods. Is there an option to create a "hidden" surface that's not listed in the remote view? NiceFill generates an additional surface when placing landfill, to know exactly which tile it needs to repla...

I've never really noticed this before but apparently Pumpjacks, which are the only mining drills using an outgoing fluid box, don't actually display how full it is? For example: screenshot 2024-10-24 19.25.05.png I only know it's full because it says it's full, but there's no information regarding w...

There's now a mod for that

That's a shame, the mechanic is in the game so I wonder why they didn't set it up. Several other tiles in the code refer to a thawed or a frozen variant, so clearly there's some sort of temperature threshold in the game that tiles use to change from one to the other. Just did some testing. data.raw....

So, the ingame tooltip and the wiki both mention that ice platforms "will melt if exposed to heat"

Exactly how does this work? I've got a few heatpipes at max heat next to a section of ice platform, and they're not melting.

Please expose the tile_conditions (and invert) from https://lua-api.factorio.com/2.0.7/prot ... ce_as_tile during runtime on https://lua-api.factorio.com/2.0.7/conc ... esult.html

Now that Space Age is available I was wondering if there's a quick way to go to the new planets to test my mods, without first having to do a complete playthrough to unlock them all?

I was a bit taken aback by this, but I guess what you're saying is: Destroyed rocks won't drop stone. But mined rocks (and deconstructed rocks) still will. This makes sense in the context of the game, as destroyed trees don't drop wood and destroyed cliffs don't drop anything. Yes exactly, mining t...

Trying to publish an update, but getting "Error: Failed to upload mod: Unknown error. (code: 500)"

I'm currently working on a mod that adds extra ammo types. While testing the application of stickers when hitting a target, I noticed that the sticker only applies its base damage, and ignores any damage from ammo bonuses. Take the following ammo type screenshot 2022-12-06 19.16.38.png For testing p...

Please add the following code snippet for compatibility with mods that place tiles, like Klonan's Repair Turret or when using Instant Blueprint from Creative mod script.on_event(defines.events.script_raised_set_tiles, function(event) if DEBUG then log( "NiceFill script_raised_set_tiles" ) ...
