yeah I was referring to the single comma

Types/FluidFlowDirection has a description for the "output" variant that seems like its not expected to be there.

LoaderPrototype::adjustable_belt_stack_size mentions boolean as its type but it should be bool.

Hello there fellow strictly typed dump parser :D


Is there a reason why empty arrays are set as {} instead of []? This is kind of against the JSON standard . E.g. the ingredients for the recipe-unknown recipe on line 60888 . Use [] for empty arrays instead?


I ran into this some time ago (https ...

ConstantCombinatorPrototype::pulse_duration is specified to be a uint but the prototype docs do not contain such a type. Only the specific variants uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64. The runtime docs however do have a uint concept.

Types/EntityPrototypeFlags is missing the "building-direction-16-way" member (used by rail signals / chain signals).

CargoHatchDefinition::illumination_graphic_index is a uint32 but specifies a default value of -1.
So what is it? Is its default a uint32 underflow to 2^32 - 2? Or is it a signed int32?

HeatEnergySource::emissions_per_minute is overridden since heat energy sources don't support pollution. It mentions a default value of 0 but the type of emissions in 2.0 is dictionary[AirbornePollutantID -> double] and not just double anymore.

I think not specifying a default value and maybe ...

In 1.1 PipeConnection::type had a default of "input-output" and apparently the renamed field in 2.0 still does aswell but its not mentioned.
The new PipeConnection::connection_type property apparently also has a not mentioned default value of "normal".

UtilitySprites::platform_entity_build_animations is not marked as optional / DLC specific. But its not present in base 2.0 while it is in space-age.

I assume its related to the space_travel feature flag?

You could open a PR to add support for your target in the nixpkgs repo, the relevant files are here .

Tho I don't think its a good idea to use nix for game installs directly, rather have steam be installed through it instead. Especially with a lot of new releases that are expected to come the ...

thank you very much. So i guess a high output space science platform needs to be brought/build in a asteroid rich orbit.
Is there a limit on how many space stations one can have per orbit?


If you need more asteroid chunks either for space science or for a mining platform you'll get more ...

Do stationary space stations encounter asteroids or just loose ressource chunks? I.e. will i need defense on my space science station? =)


Depends on what planet your platform stays at. Take a look at factoriopedia and it will tell you about the expected asteroids for a planets orbit.
Nauvis ...

this might be what I also ran into here 113899
the workaround is to disable the steam overlay (at least it was in my case)

How about online services for v1, will that keep working? Stuff like master server and mod portal.


Yes? You can use the mod portal all the way back to 0.13 mods. Just don't expect many mod authors to keep updating 1.1 mods after they ported their mods to 2.0.
And for the matchmaking server I'm ...

I got some more mods for you (shamlessly including some of my own mods)


Constructron-Continued - Automated Spidertrons that will go and build/repair/deconstruct/upgrade entities you mark all over your map. No more huge roboport network needed!

I like the addition of stable / experimental to the doc version selection!

Only issue is that https://lua-api.factorio.com/stable/ returns as a 404

The runtime JSON format states the following about the "builtin" type in the Concept member:


The type of the concept. Either a proper Type , or the string "builtin" , indicating a fundamental type like string or number .


This reads to me as if a builtin type would be represented just like it ...

merging things like accumulators or solars into one bulk entity so only one memory value needs to be changed (as long as they have identical charge levels and such)


this is in fact already a thing which is how solar power is so UPS efficient


The solar panels and accumulators are now merged ...
