As seen from these screen shots, a big enough custom system cursor, can make it difficult to see the item in hand and its count. This can make the game more difficult to play correctly. I do not want to have to switch cursor profiles just to be in the game, if there can be some better way to overrid...

TL;DR Custom furnace prototype "can't smelt" localized text What ? A way to specify custom localized "can't be smelted" text for a given furnace prototype, for example, a crusher could say "<item> can't be crushed", or for an incinerator, "<item> can't be incinera...

Found a case where a mod is exactly the same, but because of how the core system evaluates mod mismatch of same version, it can be possible for a startup setting to cause a same version mod mismatch error. The root cause is if a require is conditional on a startup setting, then the .lua file that wa...

As someone that works on the Archipelago mod, this data dumping is very nice as it just obsoleted https://mods.factorio.com/mod/archipelago-extractor in its entirety.

I started playing around with stack size related stuff in the prototypes and have noted that the game is mostly consistent of not letting the mod run when stack sizes of things that should be 1 are not 1. The exception is the spidertron-remote prototype. The game silently clamps the stack_size of sp...

I was not expecting this achievement to trigger from a retaliation attack of the biters against artillery cannons. (Pollution dissipation was set to 0, so pollution stays in the chunk it was generated in.)
No idea if this is intentional or not.

1. Change a int setting that has a min value less than or equal to 0 to anything with a decimal point. 2. What I expected was for that value to go red since a decimal point input is not valid for int settings. 2. What I got, as shown in the image, is the red box only for int values that have a min v...

1. Create a filter for one item, such as repair pack https://i.imgur.com/wGWb2sp.png 2. Attempt to insert another item such as iron-plate or uranium-ore 3. Expected result. (as shown by attempting to insert non-repair pack item into a repair-pack filter slot with a cargo wagon) https://i.imgur.com/l...

I found that if a linked-chest is destroyed, then whether or not the contents of the linked chest of matching ID are voided depends on your ghost-time-to-live. With a ghost time to live of zero, no voiding happens at all. On the other hand, if there is even one tick of ghost time to live, then the c...

Filters on a linked chest seems to only persist if there is at least ONE other existing chest with the same link ID as the ID you just changed away from. What I expected, was place down linked chest. change its link ID to 1. set a filter for coal, and a filter for iron ore. pick up the chest. set th...

I was playing around with fuel categories and burner inserters to learn how things are handled in regards to their handling of the burnt fuel results. In particular, I set the burner inserter to accept both chemical and nuclear fuel, set the burnt_inventory size to 1, and waited for the burner inser...

Thanks for the info. I was looking in the wrong place.

Is there any way in game to gain access to the Resource Entity Prototype definitions? I need access to this data in order to extract some relevant information such as how long it takes to mine the resource, the results of this resource when mined, fluids required, etc... Mainly, I am looking to impl...
