Using 2.1.14 game version I see the "reactor-connect-patches.png" or heat pipe original sprite overlap don't properly applied to nuclear reactor. Seems it render after "reactor-pipes.png" layer.

I'm not sure is it bug, or just design.

Okay, thx for respone!

Hi, the problem is: the ordering of science packs in nodes of tech tree and laborotary seems to be different and depends on item subgroup "science-pack". If item is used with subgroup "science-pack" - ordering works as expected (an as before 2.1).

How to reproduce: add custom item with non "science ...

In the version introduced wire shadows as actual shadows instead of transparent sprites! It's cool! And what about pipes? Can it get separate shadow to be more consistent look too?

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 will be fine to have similar extra behavior for artillery turret.

At the moment it can be aproached with invisible accumulator or ...

Why does this post in "Implemented mod requests" group? Mayby misscreated?

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)

Many thanks!

2.0.20 Still has crashes

I found another strange behaviour. Reproduces with 2.0.19

Just renaming technology name form `apm_crusher_machine_0` to `apmcrusher` without _ syms leads to work fine without crashes...

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

2.0.18 Crashing too...

1. What did I do?

I'm migrating old mods from 1.1 game version to 2.0.
As new feature TRT (Technology Research Trigger) was added I try to integrate it into mod.
The code can be seen in mod file: `apm_power_ldinc/prototypes/main/tech.lua`.

Steps (Example of actions can be found at `00_partial ...

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:

{ recipe = "apm_stone_crushed_1", type = "unlock-recipe" },
