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 ...

As I told I don't see afking as hard. And yes making turrets, and ammo is not cheaper either, and this is why i think that exactly walls should be cheaper and not be another nuisance so even a small setup could give you protection while you are polluting and spending resources to make all the iron ...

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!

The spider speed depends on the leg speed and their stretch force and some complex internal calculation, So it isn't just some single prototype value that we can easily expose to increase/decrease the speed Are you saying that the current base speed wasn't chosen based on any balancing decisions, b...

Looks good!

Is this drawn in Factorio, from map view? Or is it an image you drew in an image editor and then transferred to Factorio with a blueprint script?

It is moddable but not directly or precisely. See https://github.com/tburrows13/SpidertronPatrols/blob/master/prototypes/spiderling.lua#L11, which uses the create_spidertron function in base (which was added in 1.1). No, it's not. Doesn't count when that value can only be used to decrease the spide...
