Ask the mod author for a setting. Modifying scripts require modifying the mod. Earendel is usually using very restrictive licensing with his mod so only he is allowed to publish any modifications to original sourxe files. Also if you are the only one to use the changes then that's a very big ask, yo...

It is possible, but you would need a "translating" program that reads files written by the mod and that can actually control spotify directly. A mod can't directly control spotify though. But why should it be a mod? Autohotkey can let you hit media keys from another hotkey and it would wor...

If you had at least outlined the key features of the mod and described its purpose and things like that so people could discuss it in this thread then it would make it easier for people to help and thus more likely that you would get any. Also I can't see if you have already been helped if it's in P...

But you want the only big disadvantage of the spidertron compared to the player, car and tank to be removed, so it becomes better in any regard. That's was my point and it still stands. Get some perspective. Spidertron is the highest tech item in the game, it's not valid trying to make early game t...

Buffing the spidertron's speed into oblivion takes away that choice. Strawman. No one wants buffs to oblivion. Get out. Plus, I dunno, complaining about the spidertron (or even making "a suggestion") seems like looking a gift horse in the mouth . That's just an argument for removing the e...

Please tell us if you can get it to work that way or not, I'm curious and would like to know in case I have to do the same in a possible future mod! I don't really understand what exactly "grid position" is supposed to be. Is it just a way of saying "not centered on the red flag"...

I would not have expected that behavior, but from testing it looks like there is a single chunk thick ring around the map (presumably filled with the 'out-of-map'tiles), but beyond which chunks aren't generated and thus pollution can not travel, so it could still work for OPs purpose. Your image la...

Did you search for a 4 year old topic to necro just to troll people like a psychopath or did you decide to troll after you had found this old topic because you just couldn't resist the urge once inspiration hit? Edit: Also, to add extra insult to injury: OP was necroing the topic when he made the th...

Thanks!

I have a use for target masking as well, I found some helpful topic (yours on that water turret mod) that had info on that that I will have to find again for one of my mods.

Yes that is exactly what it was. Some buttons with a textfield (for code) and a timer each, and some hotkeys that would activate those same codes. And you can just write any lua command in those boxes. And if you set a timer then you can run commands periodically.

Apparently I can't do that (no mods, new game, editor mode), unless there is a special setting I haven't found yet:

Equip the artillery GUN, not the turret that uses the gun. It's a bit hidden but I think using infinity chest allows you to spawn the actual gun (icon tank turret) the easiest way.

I think lines are always not drawn in FoW, so not sure why it's different (if it is). Lines can be drawn on top of entities and below, is it the same for text? Does that alter how text is affected for FoW maybe? Just throwing guesses out of things I would test.

I made a mod that I never released that gives buttons, timers and maybe hotkeys for running commands. I don't have access to it right now (...because I didn't release it basically) but I guess this request is a perfect argument for actually finishing and releasing it.

I didn't know this property existed or what it did. The flamer ammo being different when used in the tank should have been a clue, but I haven't used flamer ammo in tank for a long time now and forgot about it. Thinking about if I should use this for Capsule Ammo now, might be able to improve balanc...

Just turn it off yourself with the available settings. :roll: Screenshot from 2021-07-18 13-49-21.png (Really, if the devs are so eager to show how to build things in the menu screen why not just include a default set of blueprints so the player never has to learn anything?) Do you actually think th...

after the actual event registration Did you try seomthing like script.on_event(defines.events.on_marked_for_deconstruction, function(ev) game.print(game.table_to_json(ev)) end) -- Lua code is executed from top to bottom, so this will execute after: script.set_event_filter(defines.events.on_marked_f...

Topic title: What are the most impractical items in Factorio? Well the topic is not about impractical items at all. Maybe change the title to "What items do you not use?" Or something like that. Some of the items on your lists are pretty strange, eg artillery. It's one of the best techs in...

What do you mean when you say "I can't call it"? You didn't provide code. How do you call it? Do you call it correctly? I've used gsub in data stage code (Capsule Ammo 0.1.5 data.lua L22). If gsub is available the gfind is as well. Do you know when to use . and when to use : ? Was a while ...

Also there's this mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/spidertron-extended. Faster spidertrons, bigger grids for more exoskeletons. Good solution for those who want bigger faster harder better? Addressing everyone negative to increasing the base speed: I don't want a bigger grid. I don't want to make ...
