thanks, haha I missed it because I assumed "bar" had something to do with the quickbar without actually reading

So in most inventories in Factorio you can click the big X and red out several inventory slots to shrink the inventory size. How do I do this from a mod?
Also is there a more official name for "red-ing out" inventory slots?

Also if I come across an invalid entity in global, is there a safe way to figure out what its unit_number was? A large part of why I can't use that solution, at least not easily and efficiently, is because I have some data structures that are indexed by the unit_number that need to be updated about ...

to clarify, is on_entity_destroyed guaranteed to fire after removal no matter what?

Is it possible for an entity to be removed from a world without raising an event? I have a reoccurring bug in my mod where essential entities seemingly disappear during or before on_configuration_changed without my mod detecting them and updating. My mod has code that must be run when specific entit...

If I wanted to create an in game tutorial or guide for my mod similar to how vanilla factorio's tips and tricks functions, how would I do that? Is there any documentation available on how to do this?

Version 1.1.0 is out now! A quickstart guide has been added to the mod portal: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/cybersyn New Features: Trains can bypass visiting the depot if they have enough fuel. Trains spend far more time productively making deliveries rather than travelling to and from their depot....

What a coincidence, we seemed to have had the same mod idea at the same time. Nice job!

^^^ This could also be a solution my current problem with the factorio api viewtopic.php?f=28&t=103934. I need some kind of event when a blueprint is pasted over an existing entity.

I just attempted to use player_cursor_stack_changed, but if the player is using a blueprint from their blueprint library, it does not seem to show up. When watching the player_cursor_stack_changed, is there a way to determine if the player is holding a blueprint from their blueprint library?

setting a maximal_width and single_line worked for me, thank!

Hello, I have a gui label with a long caption. This is causing me a problem where instead of word-wrapping the caption text onto a new line, instead the entire gui frame is being stretched horizontally to fit the text on one long single line. It looks awful and I want to ask how do I get the label t...

I would like blueprinting over an existing entity to trigger the "defines.event.on_entity_settings_pasted" event https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_entity_settings_pasted or otherwise it's own unique event. So for example, if I have two constant combinators with different s...

I would like to make a gui that lets you choose a signal type like in a combinator. I'm using a choose-elem-button https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaGuiElement.html#LuaGuiElement.choose-elem-button set to elem_type="signal". However this has the problem that the wildcard asterisk sign...

I was skeptical if this worked with blueprints but looks like it does, thanks!

I am attempting to do the same thing here, catch when the settings of a custom combinator are changed. I'm currently catching when the settings are copy-pasted and when the gui to change them is accessed, but I cannot find a way to catch when the combinator is blueprinted over. Is there a way to dis...

I would like to create an entity sort of like a beacon that affects the entities around it, so I want my item to show something like the beacon or power pole effect range preview when the player is holding it to place it. Is there any way to get this preview on a non-beacon, non-power pole prototype?
