for example, https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaEntity.html#get_logistic_point could trivially be a function with two overloads: fun():LuaLogisticPoint, fun(index):dictionary, and we could in turn generate overload tags for LuaLS to correctly determine which return it got from a given ca...

in the mean time, SignalFilter is probably the type you're actually looking for!

If anyone has any suggestions for how I can detect, from the debugger (in TS), that this has occurred (or is likely to occur in a given environment), i can also offer to set the setting for the future.

The runtime classes with index[] operators currently only specify the values returned by that operator, not the key types to use with it. LuaLS tags require a key type for these as well, which i'm currently filling in with special cases.

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/types/FileName.html has `base` in bold, instead of in code tags with underscores

What's the lifetime of an image that is uploaded and then un-referenced?

Could we have a flag for "hidden"/unlisted images in the gallery to not be shown in the image-strip on the mod page, for use in the markdown description/faq pages?

I finally got around to using this some and it's working great! The one thing i'd note is that it is currently impossible to *remove* a homepage or source_url from a mod that already has them, as they won't accept an emptystring as a valid value.

describes the type of positions as array[Vector], but hten has a comment that they have x/y, shouldn't this be array[Position]?

I'm not sure about the exact timing, but this went into the last round of updates (.40 i think), give it a go on the latest update!

yes but we are talking about an API and making it easier to consume and not providing full on lua debugging. I use schema's primarily for autocompletion in kubernetes yaml files or for my cloudformation for AWS so i don't have to memorise the file format or have the doco open in another monitor to ...

should consider that json support for https://json-schema.org/ format example schema's can be seen: https://www.schemastore.org/json/ i use it all the time as i code from neovim. would mean the format provided is in a more generally consumable format with heaps of editors with support out of the bo...

Added a machine-readable JSON format of the runtime documentation, which can be used by developer tools to provide code completion and related functionality. is this json schema and where can I find it so I can use it as a linter!

VScode mod debugger 1.1.10 has a converter to translate the json to EmmyLua for sumneko (and one for TypeScriptToLua is coming soon)

In practice, I don't really see the current implementation causing problems that can't be worked around(in the most common use cases). The big one i see is that it seems like it would be impossible to host a game that's accessible to both ipv4-only and ipv6-only clients, if the server is only bindi...

I'd be interested to see how other software handles it. Every piece of game software i've seen requires you give it the host IP address for it to bind to. Or it just hosts through steam networking which then falls back to steam to do it. Most software i've interacted with defaults to binding to all...

Also for future readers: if you're using my profiler tool in vscode you'll need to keep a single : before the time so that i can parse it correctly, since i assume default locale If you assume missing colons may be a problem, why don't you match the input against ":*"? it's part of a larg...
