Why not just make the buffer in a normal steel chest? You can request in the green (or blue) chest, and then use an inserter to move to the steel chest so the items are "committed." You might object that then you'll end up with double the items buffered. True, but you could also use a com...

Huh, you've added "Icon + Name" format for the ore patch tags. Could you make similar one to the blueprint templates so I can name my train stop "<Item Icon> <Item Name> / Unload" ? Isn't that already part of the the new parameterized template system ( FFF-392 )? It may just be ...

However, if you ask me, I think that imports with form of "require('./local')" or "require('.local')" should be viable and look up only in the current directory, ignoring mod root or "__core__.lualib". Also, there's another linked problem related to the imports, causing...

I was discussing how import statements work with @justrandomgeek on Discord ( link ), and he noticed that the relative imports I use in my code should not work. We digged into testing, and I wrote this simple script which I smashed into my `data.lua`: ---- --- @param module ModuleID local function t...

Provide the function on LuaBootstrap with the following prototype: script.validate_filters(event: defines.events, event_data: EventData, filters: EventFilter...) -> boolean Accepts the event ID, the passed event data and a valid (i.e. registered) event filter. Returns true if and only if that event ...

I really hope so. Especially since they are giving us the RTS tool. To me that implies 1. More RTS-like commands and movement expectations from your troops (I.e. pathfinding around obstacles) and 2. More than just the Spidertron to control.

"Unit reporting." "Moving out."

You can also share knowledge of already-scanned position between different spidertrons, to improve performance for a taskforce.

I have noticed that the default result is now sorted by relevance. THANK YOU!

Is there a mod that allows me to swap the sides of the inputs and outputs for fluids, in oil refineries chemical plants or electrolysis plants.

Thank you in advance

I have a mod for you: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/fluid_permutations
Also this would be default behaviour in 2.0

Speaking of multi-threaded updates, could it be made so each layer of computation uses it's own thread? One thread for belts, one for machines, one for electric network, and so on. Yes, this may introduce 1-tick lag/delay on some events, but this will make the game overall update time be almost equa...

But what if a chunk is revealed by more than 255 radars?

Yeah, I had similar questions. We 100% need nod which would bump radars until the counter resets to 0.

It's probably never going to happen. The blueprint library stores blueprints and only blueprints. Making it store other stuff is essentially completely re-writing it and nobody is going to do that any time soon. I am reading API docs and prototype values and it looks that the default "blueprin...

Secondly, prioritize fields to search in the following order: title -> tags -> short description -> long description

And mod name above them all.

That's what I called title.

By specification, Markdown should support multi-level lists (in any combination). ### Title Text paragraph. Text block continues. 1. Numbered list p.1 2. Numbered list p.2 - Bullet point 2.1 - Bullet point 2.2 3. Numbered list p.3 Which should look like: Title Text paragraph. Text block continues. N...

One line suggestions:

• Add tags for most-popular overhauls/projects (Bob's; SE; K2; AAI; etc.). 3rd-parties may use these tag to mark a mod as specifically designed for the specified modpack (i.e., Space Exploration rocket log).
• Add preview button to all big message boxes.

First of all, sort by relevance first by default (not by updated date).

Earendel's drafts were always over the top when it comes to gameplay complexity, so we usually started by simplifying it to half of its original size, and then half again soon after... but it is way easier to shave off from a prototype, leaving the best bits, rather then creating things from scratc...
