Just confirming, the remote.add_interface/remote.call thing worked great (and serpent.dump helped, too)!

I'd been slightly worried about whether the __modname__ thing would be fine with the characters (not just [a-zA-Z0-9_], but also containing [-]) would be fine, but it wasn't a problem! Cool ...

you usually don't need to rename a mod's internal name.

Fair enough. I wish to, though; I have my reasons. :)


You can copy-paste the contents or rename the output to a lua file that returns the contents...

Yeah, that's what I'd been thinking... glad to see thoughts align...

Hi all,

Relative newbie to modding, and... well, I'm doing some work on a mod, and I'd like to change the name (of the directory/zip file, and the "name" field in info.json) of it, but I have some saves that have data from it, and I'd ideally like to somehow keep that data but make it available to ...

Thank you, both OP and responses, for a good laugh. This is hilarious.

Dunno if/when you might see this, but I just wanted to say: this looks cool!

Sad to see it gone from github.

Dunno if/when I would have used it (it doesn't match current needs I have), but I could definitely imagine it being useful (if my needs were different), so... kudos.

A very belated +1 to this idea... passwords in command-lines is... suboptimal (to put it mildly), IMHO.

(Granted, passwords in a plain-text file aren't hugely better, but at least that can be something that's locked down with permissions on a multi-user system. Anyone able to log in as the same ...

A suggestion for a couple of possible ways (listing the former because I thought of it first, though I have a strong preference for the second option) to maybe handle the trade-off between not having this functionality at all (current status quo) and having it have too much power (to potentially ...

I agree that some form of this should end up in the game, and the devs will surely do a great job at it.


Nice to hear this from staff... am I too late to +1 this, hoping to see it in, I dunno, 2.0.70 or 2.0.71 or something? :)

I know there's the mod, but I'd love to see it in base game, to be ...

Haha, yes, I had, and it's glorious.

Oh, interesting! I think that might just be it, at least for the chest portion (not sure this handles the rail portion, but maybe, and I'll play with that separately, and post again if it doesn't).

Well, I guess maybe consider it a feature request:

Have it respond to mouseDown, on the premise that ...

Hi there,

Writing today to report an issue I've long had (I'm not quite sure how long... I think since well before 1.x even? Certainly in 1.x, and now also in 2.x), but wasn't sure wasn't just my computer... until today, when I saw it happen to someone else on a video of them playing:

https://www ...

Had another system crash (not your problem) after an hour or two spent on Gleba. I guess I have to leave and come back to (again) get that achievement now? (In point of fact, I have a save from before then, so I was able to get it again. It just strikes me as strange that I can be on the planet ...

If a higher-tier or higher-quality module has either just been requested via upgrade planner, or, more importantly, was requested a long while ago but is not yet available, the current indication shows an "X" over the existing module, with some vague hint (but that's hard to see without looking ...

Oof, I feel for you! I've been having my own frustrations with lost achievements under different circumstances, and I thought I'd see if others were having similar problems...

I'm just a player, so big grain of salt here, but based on my own experiences looking at how the achievements file seems to ...

I was just thinking about this, and I think I will actually make the argument for why this should be considered a bug, or at the very least a moderately serious user experience issue. Here's why:

As a user, when I "save" my progress (especially explicitly, but even with autosave) in something (in ...

Haha, ok. Arguable, but fair enough.

oops, I seem to have posted this on "Not a bug"? Not what I intended... can it be moved? Should I re-post? Is it fine? Other?

Hi Wube!

I've been loving Factorio 2.0; thanks for all that's in it!

That said, there's one problem that's been plaguing me, and... I guess it's time I report it:

In the event of a system crash (or 'kill -9' on Factorio, or similar), which I unfortunately sometimes have on this system (for ...

The idea:

It occurs to me that it would be nice if dragging underground pipes (or underground belts, for that matter! More below) could be a bit more like dragging belt, where if you press 'R' while dragging (or whatever key is bound to rotating), a nice bend will be created that's all connected ...

What's going on:

So, I'm playing along, and every once in a while, the left side of my screen changes from something like this:

before_save.png

To something like this:

during_save.png

My reaction/thoughts:

This happens quickly enough that it took me while to realize what was going on ...
