Sustainable Energy mod does kind of that, but incentivizes killing bases. And it has the best name. The Free Energy Promise Gives fuel value to small artifacts too, so you can run your base on the corpses of the attacking horde of biters. Old mods that require some updating to run in current Factor...

Have you tried
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/remote-switch ?
(and https://mods.factorio.com/mod/CircuitHUD-V2 ?)

Yes, it's theoretically possible to dump all entities Well yeah you can loop through entities (and tiles) of course and do it yourself. To clarify, when I said "impossible" I meant impossible with a single api call that makes Factorio do it for you. Kind of strange that the API doesn't al...

LuaGameScript.take_screenshot doesn't have a map view parameter, and the other function for taking screenshots is take_technology_screenshot() which takes screenshots of your technology (research) screen. So it seems impossible. Mods (lua commands) can change what you as a player sees to any positi...

I was just looking at the map when suddenly the game crashed.

Thanks for fixing changelog order! Can't see that change listed in the changelog though which is weird and meta. But it was annoying and now it's so much better <3

:lol: Yeah, I figured that mindset wouldn’t be for everyone. :P I mean, I have a personal mod that makes trains (almost) realistically slow and heavy (scaled), and another I’m working on will prevent you from placing concrete (and the like) where trees, resources, or enemy spawners/worms are (and p...

There is a mod called "wire shortcuts" it ads shortcuts for red and green wire. Why isnt it in the basegame ? I can't see any downside, and crafting them is inconsistent and unintuitive for new players considering you get them for free if you copy settings. Its just pure QoL, without chan...

Updated blueprint in first post with a new update. Now the circle increases in radius whenever it reaches the top part of the circle, so it makes larger and larger circles. Don't forget to dial in a radius.

Sounds like there's no reason to disable pipes from being placed and picked up normally. As long as the non-ingredient pipe is added and also has pipe entity as place_result you would have all that you need.

A mod that gives you instant handmining speed for entities would solve your motion sickness then, guaranteed. And it would be like an order of magnitude easier to implement. And the smushy camera implementation might not fix your problem and might even start other new issues.

Thanks for the help ;) Np :) I tried your code and it didn't work. Why would you post that after? And you didn't say what you tried. I got output on my computer because I tested it, if you want help then ask questions don't just say that working solutions don't work for you. [Moderated by Koub : Re...

I have the same issue in vanilla. Maybe we need to initialize something? Here's a one liner that I ran on a map with just a solar panel, small electric pole, and radar. /c game.player.print(#game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{name="small-electric-pole"}[1].electric_network_statist...

Hope this helps! Not as much as if you indented properly and used code tags. Your code doesn't run. players, print and pindex are not defined. You get error messages for that. Edit: print is defined, but you probably meant game.print or game.player.print if you want it printed in game You never pri...

You didn't post the code that you tried.

Some people use buffer chests as output for a construction assembly and request that specific item with a high number. This way all items of that type are delivered back, if the chest is big enough Filtered storage chests is lower tech and achieves similar result. Bots prioritize filling filtered s...

And it's build on a hand-created map.

What is that?

Issue 1 I get bad performance (9 UPS) with this somewhat large combinator contraption with ~800 000 combinators (~500 000 not counting constants). I expected that, obviously there's a limit to how many combinators the game can simulate per update. If it can be sped up in some way anyways that would...
