I would like to use the fancy built-in sections when developing custom tooltips for compound entities. I know that I can attach the color and icons, the thing I'm specifically requesting is the ability to have sections with a header and dividers so that they are visually distinct from the rest of ...

Not sure if this would be fitting for tile buildability rules, but having a similar way to restrict placement based on entities around would be handy, especially for showing the valid placement spots to the user as highlighting entities green/red based on cursor position isn't something mods can ...

As in title, tile_buildability rules should support all collision mask sources and not just tiles. This would be really nice for creating things like wind turbines that can't be in a certain distance from other wind turbines but other entities can be nearby.

The exact topic you were just on. For removing control behavior if it isn't used. But yes, I will be attempting to not create control behavior if required, just need to update the mod.

Explanation: I create control behavior on entities when they ...

Yes, i believe it should be reasonable as long as those side effects mentioned are documented. They also wouldn't be particularly difficult to work around.

A way to remove the control behavior of entities

I'm working on a script handler for such an event but it's not cheap to run. I'll be adding it to the following mod when it's done.

Or is it, you want a generator equipment that you can adjust the generation runtime?

That, a runtime adjustable generator/consumer

Shouldn't it report back whatever the style default is for natural_width, minimum_width, and maximum_width?

As in title, I want to be able to find out the current width and height of a LuiGuiElement. It doesn't quite make sense to access via LuaStyle but that might be the better place for it. Specifically, I want to know what the width/height is based on the style settings (padding, margins, natural_width ...

First, yes I know .width is not a valid parameter for read but it makes more sense in the title (imo it should be readable as the current width/height but thats a feature request). I have attempted to read natural_width, minimum_width, and maximum_width of a newly created frame and button element ...

+1, for the purpose of properly placing mod GUIs on top of vanilla GUIs that normally don't have relative handlers.

I want to have a loader with an energy source (in this case fluid) that consumes power all the time regardless of if it is actually doing work. If possible, I'd like to have the power consumption not affected by how many items it moves. If the base request (consuming power regardless of work) is not ...

Another option would be 'forced' CustonInput types that cannot be changed by the player, i.e. to override events that do not have a native script handler

Tried a couple of things when messing with fluid energy sources on loaders, and none of them function like one would assume. Having only fluid_usage_per_tick and energy_per_item = nil or 0J, loaders will work regardless of if they have fuel and flash a warning if they don't have fuel. Fuel will not ...

+1, even a single field shared per-mod would be insanely useful

You can dynamically set the filter so there is basically no real limit to the number of asteroids to filter out. So this is already possible in the game with circuit integration


The point was to not require circuit management for filters. And even if you do use circuits there can only be 5 ...

Amazing! Thank you so much for your work!

relevant to this request

OK. Let's say you using a "mods that might add more than four types of asteroids". At some point you need to blacklist all types from mods and some SA types. Or all SA types and some types from mods. Both cases goes over five types. With blacklist being limited to five ...
