Re: Experimental Biter expansion too strong


Would it make sense to run some tests in 2.0 compared to 2.1 to see how close biters are getting to the player in 5 hours of idle or something? I don't know if the Factorio team makes it easier to set up this sort of automated harness, but I could probably do a headless one. Maybe just create a ...

[Klonan] [2.1] Early game expansions not spawning any worms

I noticed a similar pattern for 2.1 expansion being too strong, at least for starting area.

I started with the following (default map settings):

06-27-2026, 16-54-32.png

06-27-2026, 16-55-25.png

To me, out of the 4 expansions, only 1 seem normal. All 4 of them did not have any worm. Did the ...

Re: [raiguard][2.1.8] Fluid is not shared evenly


I'm no specialist here, but assuming a pump attached before the EM plants fix the issue, could you simulate in the code that each EM (or passthrough) has an built-in "pump" from the pipeline to the EM input? This would pick-up fluid from the pipeline without affecting the general pipeline pressure ...

Re: [Rseding91] [1.1.53] item field not populated during on_gui_opened/on_gui_closed for blueprint book contents

I too have come across this bug from a recent report. The same behaviour is still being observed in 1.1.74 where closing a blueprint in a blueprint book fires on_gui_closed with defines.gui_type.item as gui_type but no item was returned.

Radiobutton discussion

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaGuiElement.html

Just being nitpicky with the description of "radiobutton" type.

Functionally I think it is a little bit different from checkbox - when you click a selected checkbox it will deselect, but if you click a selected radio button it stays selected.

Re: Documentation Improvement Requests

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... set_recipe

Description and actual behaviour shows that both recipe or nil can be accepted as parameters, but the documentation showed that the parameters are not optional.


-> Thanks, fixed for 1.1.79.

I would like to bump this request as I am encountering this limitation in my mod as well. Hope to spark more discussion on how to best integrate Undo function into our mods.

Re: Make on_marked_for_deconstruction not fire before cloning events


Should the marked for deconstruction event even fire to begin with? There is no marking happening, the entity was already marked.



Cloning is at the end of the day creating a new entity with all the same properties.


Exactly why I made this request - my expectation was that all properties ...

Make on_marked_for_deconstruction not fire before cloning events

Problem statement: Currently on 1.1.70, cloning an entity which has been marked for deconstruction will cause the marked_for_decons event to fire before the entity is cloned.

This behaviour can be observed by making a small test mod that handles both on_marked_for_deconstruction and on_entity ...

I concur with this suggestion. Just found out the inconvenience of having shortcut bars reset on changing mod sets.
