TL;DR When the player character is in a vehicle and selects an entity with inventory, allow transferring directly between the vehicle and entity. What? There might be alternate ways to do this, but when the player is in a vehicle and clicks something like a chest, instead of always showing the char...

One feature request for remote/map view: currently opening the map centers it on the player's current location. This makes remote editing very tedious, as you have to pan/zoom the map back every time you switch back to your player for whatever reason. Please let the remote/map view remember the las...

Not sure what the meaning of this is, but you are linking to two different hash functions. The one you linked for original Lua is inside a LUA_IEEE754TRICK define. Here is the same one as linked for Factorio-Lua: https://github.com/lua/lua/blob/v5.2.1/llimits.h#L284-L286 Edit: The removal of that L...

I don't know if this is a known issue but I couldn't find anything about it. I'm not expecting this to be a very high-priority issue to address given how many mods there are that apparently haven't encountered it, but I thought it was interesting to investigate, and I wanted to write up my findings ...

Problem I have been working on a mod that renders a bitmap image in-memory based on the game map to a table before writing it out to a file. While performance was slow but acceptable with smaller image (and therefore table) sizes, I found that after adding 1049600 entries to a table, the next entry...

Landmine implementation details As I was experimenting with circle packing I realized I could find the landmine dimensions using the easier but less fun method - look at the game's lua code. entities.lua lists a land-mine collision box as [-.4,-.4] to [.4,.4]. Of course that doesn't square with my ...

You can now play Craptorio in your browser here: https://tic80.com/play?cart=3551 Awesome! This definitely makes it a lot easier to check out. I was surprised that I couldn't find a way to use the downloaded cartridge on https://tic80.com/create without having to download and run the player applica...

In 2.0 we added support for 64 bit integer types (signed and unsigned) so the logic that converts the string version to the PropertyTree could theoretically convert to the integer types with some extra logic. Does this mean a Lua runtime upgrade to 5.3 or later in 2.0 to be able to interact with th...

the code of the rail system accumulated some technical debt over time, like: Hard-coded connectivity rules Hard-coded rail planner logic Curved rail being the only entity with multiple bounding boxes Diagonal rails had front and back signal positions overlapping I know that these are generally engi...

I have the same complaint – doing anything related to multiple trains or stations with the same schedule/name through the Trains interface takes a lot of extra time because of the necessity of having to re-navigate to the same part of the UI over and over. A back button would help, but the minor imp...
