+1, for ocd purposed this is nice, just being able to match the order ingame with the order in the code without messing with overall order strings.

Hi, note that this only applies to Space Exploration version 0.7.36, the version before it doesn't do this, and the version after doesn't do it anymore.

+1, the current hack of using a crafting machine with a damaged ingredient and listening to on_object_destroyed on the itemstack's item or using an inserter picking up an item registered with on_object_destroyed is just a mess and very prone to mods that interact with assembling machines & energy ...

Oh so that's why it always felt off, nice catch hope this gets fixed

The recycler's entity and technology description mention "or turned to spoilage if they were biological.", but the quality mod itself adds no spoilage.

Expected behavior: spoilage should only be mentioned if space-age is enabled as well.

If only every array[SomeID] could be converted into a dictionary[SomeID -> true]


that would be a welcome change in my eyes.

edit: and to that extend they should just add a global "list_to_map" function to all the data stages as well as control thst just don't depend on importing util.

I would be in favor of an optional unified, when visiting the docs it should be pretty obvious that the default for it would be {"crafting"}, i cannot imagine wube would want to add that to each of their recipes so if it gets unified i can only imagine it being optional.

Heck i would even welcome ...

this one would be the GeneratorPrototype in fluid mode, i didn't check all the other places the fuel pollution tooltip could show up, they might suffer from the same, or not.

For comparison, the custom tooltip has just one space, the other one comes straight from the engine, shown on the K2SE gas burning generator burning petrol:

The ability to create a space platform for a force without the chat notification that it got created.

I was trying to update the Jetpack mod to have the thrust description in a custom tooltip instead of hardcoded into the locale.

It appears that custom tooltips applied to equipment prototypes show up twice in the description of the item instead of once.

data.raw["solar-panel-equipment"]["solar ...

Right now it is squished against the left and has some margin at the top, it would be lovely if the distance from the edge would be closer to the same.

+1 for supporting this in general, and making the burner mining drill do it

no, the battery still comes with a mandatory energy bar, the wish is to have an equipment prototype that has no mandatory tooltips or sections like energy.

would be nice if there was an equipment prototype that just did nothing. (well maybe apart from supporting power usage and being able to turn on/off by script individually)

Pre 2.0 modders resort to using things like 1kw night vision, exoskeleton equipment, but those still very much perform a role ...

the energy usage of said equipment is defined as the electrical drain, but nowhere in the tooltip does it mention that it actually consumes 100kW.

`{"description.constant-energy-consumption"}` would probably fit better than just "(min.) consumption" i suppose.

oh that unfortunate, it would be really nice if recipe level effect restrictions took priority over effects on the machine since it makes no sense currently.

steps to reproduce:
- pick a -recycling recipe to set `allow_quality = false` on
- place a recycler and fill it with productivity modules
- set it to recycle your picked item from an infinity chest
- notice that it is able to product quality results of your item
- take a module from the recycler ...

if the trigger for a technology is "scripted" you seem to be unable to set saved_progress on it in order to indicate it to the user, for example when there are multiple entities a player can mine and not just one so you can count it in your script and just update the saved progress and once its ...

asked the question the other day on a somewhat quiet factorio discord server and it gathered 5 whole reactions which is quite a lot there:
