The thing that made me think this was unintended Factorio behavior is that it's inconsistent with energy generators.

Equipments with passive energy generation in unequipped armors stop producing energy.
But equipments with passive energy drain in unequipped armors continue draining energy.

Depending on the mod, some fluids are allowed to be flushed, and some fluids are not. So I couldn't restrict the entire permission.

What? Simple enough, `on_player_flushed_fluid` returns the name of the fluid that was flushed, and the amount of fluid that was flushed. I would also like to know the temperature of the fluid that was flushed. In the edge case of a single fluid system containing multiple temperatures of the same fl...

We recently came across a player bug where `spill_item_stacks` would take 10+ seconds to try and find a free position to spill items: https://forums.factorio.com/108931 We thought about how we could avoid this by checking before spilling, using either `count_entities_filtered` or `find_non_colliding...

It's about a million items spilled on the ground, impressive!
We'll try to prevent giant spills like this in the future, but for now turning off these cannons or deleting this surface should fix your issue.

Just to clarify since I link to this thread often anytime someone wonders about their consumption graphs:
This is an issue with loaders connected to any lab, even vanilla labs. The thread title should be "Consumption graph inaccurate with loaders feeding into lab."

I guess. I was thinking such a flag would be a bit too specific for my use case and not useful for any other mod. Still worth trying, you're right.

NOT on_pre_ghost_upgraded . I need an event that can give me the new entity, not the old one. My use case is the Text Plates mod. I want to make the different colors of text plates replaceable. Each color is an entity prototype, each letter is a graphics_variation of that entity prototype. To chang...

1-1) Load the provided save file with 2 locomotives 1-2) Run this console script, which sets the left locomotive to manual mode every tick: /c local surface = game.surfaces.nauvis local train = surface.find_entity("locomotive", {-5, -4.43}).train script.on_nth_tick(1, function() train.manu...

That doesn't seem to be true, or maybe not in all cases? This is the result from clicking the "Activate" button on Krastorio 2's intergalactic transmitter (Using this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/0-event-trace - muted the on_player_position_changed and on_entity_damaged events for cl...

What? I would like 2 new events: `on_cutscene_start` and `on_cutscene_end`, which trigger when anything starts/ends a cutscene. Why? When leaving or returning to Space Exploration's navigation satellite view, we need to save/restore the player's inventory. When a cutscene happens while someone is i...

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's the same, the description from Rseding of the interaction between loaders and durability stacking matches was I was seeing.

You can close mine as duplicate.

Minimal save file for easy reproduction included. Reproduction Load the save file provided, which has 2 labs, one fed by loaders and one fed by stack inserters. Power the loader lab, let it run for a while. Unpower the loader lab, power the inserter lab, let it run for a while. Compare the consumpti...

As requested on discord (back in December but I forgot about it oops), I would like to know more about how to make an entity with fluidboxes flippable. For example, the SE electric boiler is an assembling machine with symmetrical fluidboxes, identical to the vanilla boiler. The vanilla boiler can be...

I see this was moved to "Not a bug". I still think it's a bug, and I think the devs would agree too, but I don't want to escalate.
I spoke too soon

It's a matter of definition. For me an item stack is a "LuaItemStack", and has nothing to do with the actual stack size of items. Most of the time, item stacks respect the stack size of items, but there are some exceptions (artillery wagons, the output slot of assembling machines, stacks o...

1 is a whole stack though.

The artillery wagon contains 1 stack of 20 shells. Artillery wagons don't care about the stack size of shells.

Is the return true or false from the transfer call?

True.

Reproduction: Create 2 artillery wagons (minimal save file included). Fill the first wagon with a bunch of artillery shells. Run this code: /c local a = game.surfaces.nauvis.find_entities_filtered{name="artillery-wagon"} local inv_a = a[1].get_inventory(defines.inventory.cargo_wagon) loca...

What? Currently you can add a "catalyst_amount" parameter to ingredients or results of a recipe. Added on an result, this has two functions: It stops the product from appearing in production stats. It prevents it from being affected by productivity. I would like have 2 new parameters to i...

Reproduction

• Copy a group of entities with Ctrl+C
• `/c game.print(game.player.cursor_stack_temporary)` shows false
• Press Q
• Nothing appears in the inventory, the blueprint was destroyed. It was temporary.
