If node counts, you could take a look at factorio-blueprint , which is actually linked in the article. It hasn't been updated in a while, but it might be sufficient if you just need simple modification/re-encoding. For this project, that should work. I mainly just need to dump a lot of signal data ...

I was just considering making my own tool like that for my combinator computer that is used to control a self-expanding factory...
I would have preferred JavaScript though. Any chance you will make DraftsmanJS as well?

I might make a mod I'm considering making a mod (not a request!) that lets you digitize items and turn them into circuit signals which can then be materialized back into items anywhere you like, instantly or later. Goals and purpose The goal is to add a brand new type of logistics alternative to be...

That the fourth option doesn't exists, feels like a whole in the matrix to me. Seems reasonable. I agree with this. What I'm against is for selection tools by default to have a modifier to select the things outside the region. And I don't think you want it for your tool either. It's going to confus...

I would like to create a selection tool that does the following things: alt_selection = Do something to all not selected entities. alt_reverse_selection = Do the opposite to all not selected entities. You want a tool to do something to every entity on every surface, except the things inside the sel...

A good idea. I can use bookmarks in my browser, but when I then install the mods I prefer to do so through the in game mod manager to get dependencies immediately and toggle mods on/off that don't fit together with new ones I test and so on. Now I have to search for all mods again in game client aft...

I meant the modding feature that you can draw lines etc. onto ground and on the map (AFAIK).

Wrong. On ground, yes. But not on map.

You can paint on the map

You can? How?

Hey, is it possible to get the link to the API docs site put to the top of the page for each site like the rest? The old mod portal layout had a link somewhere to the API docs. It's kind of weird I haven't been able to find the docs now from anywhere except by searching with an external web search ...

I noticed that at ~2k planters with ~1.5k saplings growing I was taking a 5-10 ups hit.

Whoops. Meant ~4k planters and ~3k-3.5k saplings.

Use the edit button.

Mind if I ask: why? The default is 2 hours but if you've marked something for deconstruction and over 2 hours later you still haven't gotten around to letting a robot work on it why is it important? Obviously it wasn't important since 2 hours has passed and it still wasn't handled. I'm making a sel...

as it only happens once when the roboport is placed That’s a one time event, Wrong. If you lose power the buffers of your roboports and other enties will drain. This affects you a lot every time you blackout and makes the brownout spirals after buffers have been depleted even harder to recover from.

That's cool! Maybe I should update my N-to-N-belt-belt balancer code (post with img , img ) to include these, and maybe clean them up a bit and maybe make bigger than 2048 belt balancers. ;) But a lot more than just balancers should be solvable. This could be applied to any other constraints and fac...

Thanks for the info! Have you considered chess as well? A lot more rules to take into account, but it's the game I'm more familiar with. Also the different pieces are perhaps much more difficult to visualize so that might be the bigger issue. But Recursive Blueprints mod could be used to display det...

Or train accelerators, where you loop a train around until it reaches full speed before sending it off into ... wherever. Biter territory, a high-speed "freeway" track, etc. Without the ability to reroute a train by closing a yellow signal, both of those are either outright impossible, or...

The things listed there are the resources that are placed on the map. So my guess is that you didn't add an icon for the autoplace-control prototype, just for the resource itself. The oil patch doesn't have the liquid black oil drop as icon, right? It has the sprite of oil pool that you see on the g...

I was expecting more discussion about this ! I wouldn't mind reading the full story and design philosophy of why you made it this way. Or at least some more vulgarisation to bridge the gap of understanding between demonstration and explanation. Thanks for your interest. I am glad to give more detai...

but I like verifying things before reverting wiki edits

I'm an admin over at https://wiki.factorio.com. Feel free to contact me if there's anything wrong (or right) with it.

Bilka, YOU are what's right with the wiki <3

There’s already logic in the game to not fire more than needed on targets (to avoid wasted ammo). Not that hard to extend it to include nuke splash vs nests. I think it already does so for nuke artillery as well. There's no need for manual fire. Also if someone were worried about losing nukes then ...

Variable "data" is available at data stage, in data.lua, not in control stage in control.lua.
Also, "script" is only available in control stage. Take the code inside the function and just execute it directly.
