I try to use a sprite-button for a quality recipe (using the new LuaGuiElement.quality) and have a corresponding tooltip, but the tooltip doesn't work properly

basically this
{ type = "sprite-button", sprite = "recipe/foo", quality = "bar", elem_tooltip = { type = "recipe-with-quality", name = "foo ...

I couldn't find anywhere that uses WorkingVisualisation directly, and from the code I don't think that format is supported. Are you sure about this one?


I can't check that now. I assume that one of the dummy/unknown prototypes had the "wrong" format, which was then ignored as stated by Bilka ...

Thanks a lot for fixing. Regarding OffshorePumpPrototype.fluid_source_offset, was I just blind or is this really missing from runtime stage API?

The left ghost was created using pipette
The right ghost was created using copy&paste (or by undoing a deconstruction)

The issue: In my mod I can't find a way to know which fluid the right ghost will pump
LuaFluidBox.get_locked_fluid(1) returns nil (returns correct fluid ...

Planning tools that work only on data stage (e.g. YAFC) need a way to replicate the weight calculation, but the little information given is not enough to explain what is going on.

Example that might involve some rounding

3x copper cable (250 each)
ingredient ...

these types are documented directly in the only place they are used

I'm writing automated tooling to read the whole data dump from json, and I've found a few inconsistencies. These are the changes to documentation to make them match the found data:

I want my train to go A->B->C->A->B->C forever, but go to X instead of blocking a train stop.
However, when B is full, the train goes A->X->C->A->X->C forever, skipping B completely. This is how I tried to do it:

No, I did these steps hundreds of times and it only happened once. I still tried to describe my steps to the best of my knowledge. Because I know what I saw, and the blueprint was in the wrong snapping mode when being clicked. Sometimes a dev can see what's going wrong just by looking at the code.

That's the blueprint I want to place, it has relative grid snapping enabled.

I don't believe it. You folks are simply the best! Unfortunately I will continue my Pyanodons game in 1.1 without this bugfix. Just out of curiosity: What's the technical solution that can fix this bug and handle all the edge cases that might still occur?


It was mostly a matter of sitting ...

I spent some time today and finally found a solution that will keep the inserter from getting into a broken state. It will be fixed for the 2.0 release.

In my PyMods game I stumbled upon a productivity bonus not applied to some mining drills in specific situations.

In the attached savegame you will see two drills, the top one was built before researching mining productivity. The bottom one was built after ...

Basically, what the subject says. When I tried to dump all the prototype data with --dump-data command line parameter no file was created, and the logfile included this line.

+1, this would make my favorite mod more beginner-friendly

regarding parameter passing to LocalisedString:

passing the originally generated tooltip as __1__ allows mod authors to add extra information
passing the resource amount as __2__ allows to have totally custom tooltips which incorporate the ...

I need to bring this topic up again, because it seems impossible to get the burning fuel when removing equipment from the equipment grid. (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=221&t=105300 was moved to "Won't implement" because of technical reasons)

Currently I can't see any way in my Py ...

For my mod I'm currently missing a way to recover the fuel's burnt_result when a player removes a burner-powered equipment from an equipment grid. There are on_player_removed_equipment and on_equipment_removed events, but they only contain the prototype of the removed equipment (and count), not the ...

I just looked at how Nanobots actually recovers entities and it looks like it calls LuaControl.mine_entity which does properly mine it and does NOT destroy the entity. This looks like the proper way for mods that simulate mining entities, so I guess my request is really nonsense. I'll change the mod ...

Inserters inserting into or taking out of a chest virtually never shows up as being slow. The only time that has ever happened is when mods change an inventory size to something crazy (500 to 2000 slots) but no matter what you do at that scale it's going to be slow.


What?

Can we perhaps start ...

I finally found the time to do this as a mod . It works perfectly for on_player_mined_entity and on_robot_mined_entity. However for script_raised_destroy it's not so clear what to do. I have decided to spill the item on the ground. I've added a related modding request at https://forums.factorio.com ...
