What:
Train names and preset locomotive placement colour.


Why:
In big servers it's difficult to find your train in the train list. Add train names like in train stops.
Then when you hit the train button you can see all the names and just know which one is yours. Perhaps pregenerated names could ...

Glad it helped!
The problem is likely related to improper switching in an event. Or an event being called when you don't want it so improper filtering of it. I dislike doing GUI stuff in games. The documentation is normally lacking, the coding is tedious and complicated for something quite simple in ...

I believe that "vertical_flow_style" is missing from the wiki/API.
One would think that a flow with the setting direction="vertical" would have a type and parent of "flow_style" and "flow" respectively. This is not the case rather its "vertical_flow_style" and "vertical_flow" presumably the ...

One might think that something as simple as adding a button to a building UI wouldn't be too hard. It's actually somewhat complicated if you don't know which approach to use. I created this guide to help new modders figure out the UI a bit quicker.

In Factorio all entity UI's are read-only. If you ...

style="margin-top: %hotbar_heighth%";

It would be nice if there was a wiki-page with the default sizings of all elements, or a debug that shows sizings of all elements in-game. Can also check style.lua under core or whatever. I just guessed with my mod until I got it kinda where I wanted it. I ...

local upg = turret ...

Tada!

Hello,

Can modded deepcopy entities contain predefined UI's with editable "command cards" (starcraft II term)? So modders can just choose how many buttons and their types then assign each button to a method? It's really tedious making the simplest edit to an entity UI because it requires recreating ...

Do I have to create new types of ammo to change damage output? I do not see a "damage" option in the ammo-turret entity information on the wiki.

Hello,

Is the following possible or feasible? If not, can you suggest a similar idea that would be? I am new to modding Factorio but not new to programming. It has several modding limits, specifically with editing the UI, so I don't want to waste time if what I want to do is not possible. I want to ...

I feel like my 3rd grade english teacher right now haha

In-game, researching the tech 'combat robotics':
"Combat robotics help to fight the enemy with their guns.
They are spawned from the capsules and have a limited lifetime. Some follow the player"

Is "their guns" referring to the enemy alien guns or the robot guns. I would recommend a change to ...
