I have already posted this in Modding help ( https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=105879 ), but it did not get any answers and might be bug, so I am reposting here.

As an IntelliJ user myself, I would very much appreciate this.

I have two nested frames (outer_frame and inner_frame) and am trying to understand how horizontally_stretchable changes the layout, when setting it on inner_frame: local frame = player.gui.screen.add { type = 'frame' } frame.style.size = 150 frame.force_auto_center() local outer_frame = frame.add { ...

That works, many thanks!

I am trying to remove the gap between two buttons (more specifically a sprite-button and a button) in a horizontal flow (see attachement). Here is a short snippet that adds a command for creating this GUI: commands.add_command('debug_gui', '', function(data) local player = game.get_player(data.playe...

Actually, in this specific case it will work, because the nil is not meaningful. Passing nil for filters is the same as passing nothing. Sorry, you are right. I somehow thought omitting the nil would keep the previously set filter. In the interest of consistency I agree that it should be kept this ...

edit: for the described use it is easily circumvented as such: ... This would not work in case I want to set the filter to nil for events that do support filters. There absolutely are work-arounds and this bug is nothing serious, I just think it would be cleaner to handle nil and no argument the sa...

When passing `nil` as an event handler filter to `script.on_event` for custom inputs, an error "Filters can only be used when registering single events." is raised, e.g.: script.on_event('test-custom-input', function(event) end, nil) -- raises error Not passing `nil` as a filter, does not ...

I use testorio for unit testing. But if it is only the testing that takes time, then that's not an issue.

Many thanks again!

Sure, thanks for your help.

Thanks for the quick reply! I am pretty sure calculating the CRCs is what is taking so long, so I was hoping there was a way to find out exactly what part of the calculation takes up most of the time. Unfortunately verbose logging does not output that. Could you maybe give me one or two pointers wha...

I am currently writing a mod and have noticed that the "Checksum for script __my_mod__/control.lua" step takes longer than usual. It used to be almost instant, but now takes 3-4 seconds and is noticable when loading a savegame for example. Is there any way to get more info about what is ta...

Another factor is keeping belts fully compressed.

Interesting. Does this mean it would be beneficial for UPS to use red and yellow belts for the iron towards the end of the assembly line in an attempt to keep them fully compressed after the first assemblers have taken iron off the blue belt?

Do you have any reading tips what "UPS-optimized transport belts" means? Do you try to have the least amount of "overground" belts? If so, could this not be even more optimized by introducing further underground belts on the top part, e.g., for the green circuit or copper belts?...

I am trying to upload a profile picture, but it says "Unknown error, please try again later.". Any idea what the issue could be?

It is the same profile picture I use here, if that is relevant.

Edit: just checked again and it works now!

I had a closer look at flib and think I have a better understanding now of the differences to my mod. My goal for Poly is to provide concepts on how to implement whole aspects of mods (e.g. multiple GUIs or how to store data in global in a concise way) instead of loosely coupled utilities like in fl...

This looks awesome, great work!

I didn't know about flib, thanks for the link! It does indeed look quite similar.
