Seems to be not actually needed. Some hacks with control.lua and proxy entities enough btw

Many thanks for detailed explanation!

Adding spoilage as trigger for research progression mb can lead to perfomance issues ... If it's not a bug, but a feature it will be great to have a notice in docs =)

1. What did I do?

I've added to technology craft item trigger with item "steel-plate". With some mod-set (will be linked with file) "steel-plate" can be obtained only via spolage process from "hot-steel-plate" item.

Steps:
1) Load save (save/report_save.zip). Mods version must be locked (required ...

Hi! I want to create railgun-like artillery entity.
The main problem - there isn't way to consume electricity for shots as easy as it available for railgun turret.

It'll be great to have elecric energy source for artillery turrets! At the moment the only way to create railgun like artillery is hacking with hidden entities for consuming energy (and maybe fluids)

2.0.20 Still has crashes

Seems very strange.
My hypothesis:
- sym '_' leading to invalid hashing or smth else
- or smth strange with ...

2.0.18 Crashing too...

Then i've tried to disable research trigger by setting up with `nil`. After this change any other tech-s with researh triggers become unsearchable via crafting items or interact with ores/oil


---@param technology_name string
function apm.lib.utils.technology.delete(technology_name)
if not apm ...

The first approoach to disable existing technology was:


---@param technology_name string
function apm.lib.utils.technology.delete(technology_name)
if not apm.lib.utils.technology.exist(technology_name) then return end

local technology = data.raw.technology[technology_name]

Example of new tech i've tried:

{
effects = {
{ recipe = "apm_crusher_machine_0", type = "unlock-recipe" },
{ recipe = "apm_coal_crushed_1", type = "unlock-recipe" },
{ recipe = "apm_stone_crushed_1", type = "unlock-recipe" },
{ recipe = "apm_wood_pellets_1", type = "unlock-recipe ...
