Thank you. I wasn't expecting it to just work like that.

Mod versioning is designed for a linear sequence of releases, but currently people are using both Factorio 2.0 and Factorio 2.1.

When a mod has been released for 2.0 and 2.1, and a bugfix release is needed for 2.0, how can we put the bugfix on the mod portal?

The attached save has the train setup that I described, and you can see it always returning to the same station.

I have a problem where a train keeps leaving and returning to the same station, even though that station is disabled. Can someone explain what is happening?

This train carries the Ultracube mod's special cube to any available station named "Use". Station availability is controlled by setting train ...

What is LuaEntity::local_effect? From the description, I guess it is a per-entity Effect that is set by scripts.

I see, I appreciate the explanation.

Forum login was broken yesterday for at least several hours. Login produced the error "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.", reproducibly, on 3 different browsers. Today, login worked normally.

I ask that the forum maintainers look into the bug. Naturally I can't post while the ...

TL;DR

Indicate signal connections between radars in map view.

What?

Show in map view that radars are connected to the same signal network. Preferably, visibility could be toggled. It could use the same graphics as logistic connections (the dashed lines between roboports).

Ideally connections ...

I had put effectivity in the wrong part of the prototype, so it was being ignored.

I'm changing a solar thermal power mod to use a fluid power source internally. I'm trying to make its power output match the original power output, and I don't understand the result that I'm seeing.

I changed solar thermal collectors to be a reactor with a fluid energy source. The fluid is internal ...

+1 I would like to have a radar prototype flag to disable global transmissions, making them like Factorio 2.0 radars. This would keep the radar capabilities that old mods were balanced around.

Please make an event that is sent when a fluid segment has been created or destroyed, with enough information so that mods can find which entities are affected.

This is so that mods can watch the contents of pipes. Call a Plumber does this by periodically checking contents of individual entities ...

Nullius changed many prototype names to improve the way things look in factoriopedia. I would like the ability to control whether items are linked without using prototype names.

I would like movement bonus equipment (exoskeleton) to give a bonus to the max speed of locomotives, configurable in the prototype. Currently it gives a bonus to acceleration only. Acceleration's utility is fairly minor since trains spend most of their time at max speed.

While this has been ...

Thank you for pointing that out. I did miss the difference between the priority fields.

Alright, I've added it as a bug on github.

When LTN chooses a provider station, it ignores priority and chooses the provider with the largest item count. I believe that LTN should choose the highest-priority provider that can fulfill a request.

I found this bug because my factory had a station for recycling byproducts that was never being ...

I saved the game after hiding the quickbar and everything else: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/concepts/GameViewSettings.html#show_quickbar


This part of the API doesn't seem to control GUI elements created by mods. I tried it out in the editor and it could hide almost everything. The Bob's ...

Creating a test player in sim.init using game.simulation.create_test_player{name="test"} doesn't seem to do anything. I couldn't find any examples that use this function, so I may be using it incorrectly.

I saved a game and used it as a menu simulation. The menu simulation shows the quickbar and other player UI, which I don't want. How can I hide the UI?

This post says the solution is to save in editor mode, but I don't know how to do that.
