Re: Version 2.1.20


I was trying to make SpaceLocationPrototype able to depend on another location but that adds complexity on factorio side (resolving chains of parent locations and throwing an error if loop is detected) and creates some extra problems for mods if they want to compute position of a space location on ...

Re: [2.0.72] ItemPrototype:fuel_categories

Better now than after the first stable release.

I didn't realize Lignumis is involved in this topic until I read the thread. Here is my +1.

[boskid][2.1.14] Crash when Lignumis provisional rocket silo ready or launches (Burner::extractEnergyAndPollute)

When the provisional rocket silo is ready (2.1.14 with Lignumis 2.4.1) or is launched (2.0.77 with Lignumis 1.10.2), the game crashes. I attached screenshots, the logs, the dump and a save. It's enough to enable only Lignumis with its dependencies and then load the save without other mods. Make sure ...

[2.1.14] Rocket silo pipe connections shown under the silo

While for other prototypes the pipe connections are rendered on top of the machine, for the rocket silo it seems they are rendered below it. This has been the case in 2.0 and didn't change with 2.1.

Re: QualityPrototype extended


Vehicle accelleration (one could argue that fuel bonus should be enough)
Agricultural tower radius bonus (with a flag on the AgriculturalTowerPrototype)
heating_energy would be cool to scale with quality (pun intended)


Personally I would've found it way better to only have a multiplyer on ...

Re: New mod dependency category to be downloaded by default

+1. Lignumis almost requires you to install an inserter fuel leech mod but people complained about UPS and the mod becomes useless after the burner phase. So I want to heavily recommend it but not force players to keep it active. The workaround is to make it optional and check by script if it's ...

Re: [2.0.36] Modded agricultural tower doesn't prioritize fuel over seeds

Is that something that can be modded or is it internal furnace logic?

[2.0.36] Modded agricultural tower doesn't prioritize fuel over seeds

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/lignumis adds a "Burner agricultural tower". It's not easy consistently fueling it without a dedicated belt/chest for fuel because inserters won't prioritize fuel over seeds. They will even pick up another seed when the input slot is already full and fuel is empty.

Allow modules to effect other pollutant types than Nauvis "pollution"

It seems that the module effect "pollution" only changes the Nauvis pollution of machines. Other airborne pollutants are not effected. It would be nice to have modules that reduce all kinds of pollution. It would be even nicer to be able to select which pollutant types are effected (e.g. think of a ...

Handling spoil results in labs when the spoil result is a science pack

Hi all,

so I made a mod where science packs spoil into other science packs. It seemed like a fun idea to me to let all sciences spoil into each other until you end up with automation science pack spoiling into wood. When a science spoils into another science while in a lab, it will be moved to the ...

[Rseding91] [2.0.22] Rocket part ingredients won't be inserted if they have the "spoil-result" flag

I made this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/hot-metals
It changes LDS to be a spoil result of hot LDS when crafted in the foundry.
This adds the "spoil-result" flag to the LDS item automatically, triggering the behavior that LDS won't be inserted as rocket part ingredient anymore.

Re: [2.0.14] Add more ways for quality to affect items

I don't like the idea of quality using separate prototypes with `next_upgrade`. But I too was disappointed by how restricted the possibilities are. I hoped for something like a property table called `quality_effects` with a selection of things that can be configured and parametrized by mods. So that ...

[Klonan] [2.0.8] Inserter constant condition loses focus when research is done

I was just setting an inserter enable/disable constant condition. I wanted to type 200. When I typed 20, a research (the last one in the queue if that matters) was finished and the input field lost its focus so the second 0 didn't make it to the input.

How to reproduce:

Start a research.

There is no need to build rockets. Just stack all the way to space.
