Re: Overwrite dependency incompatibility


All of which you could probably reach out to the developers and have a conversation about the incompatibilities instead of straight forking it.
As I mentioned: It is impossible to do for them, since there are no boolean expressions for dependencies.

Re: Overwrite dependency incompatibility


I can confidently say that no developer i know wants to have incompatibilities overridden, nor do they want to have to logic out conditional dependency trees. You're asking a feature most people actively don't want, and if implemented would cause even more headaches, false bug reports, and general ...

[2.0.76] Split lane-filter loaders GUI and lane output are flipped

As it says on the tin, the GUI for loaders with split lanes + filters does not match the actual lane it outputs to. I'm using the Editor Extensions mod for this loader, but AFAIK this should apply to any loader with the flag enabled.
It's a minor issue, but it's been bugging me for ages and I ...

Module effect multipliers on applicable entities

How feasible would it be to add a 'effect multiplier' for AssemblingMachine/Furnace/RocketSilo/etc, similar to distribution efficiency on beacons? So, for example, if I put in 5 modules that increase consumption by 10%, and the building has a consumption effect multipler of x2, then the building ...

Ability to toggle on/off spoilage affecting tool durability

Surprised I haven't seen anyone else ask for this, but could we get an API parameter for disabling a tools durability from being affected by spoilage? It'd be nice to have the flexibility of a science pack that can spoil, but doesn't become weaker over time.

Beacon categories for checking the beacon_counter

I'd like to ask for a change to how beacons count if/what other beacons are around eachother, instead of the two options of "same_type" and "total" that we currently have access too. I imagine this system to work similar to module categories, where you can give a beacon entity a specific category ...

Re: Technology Trigger instead of Science Pack - Idea for mod

you can look on the API to see what trigger technologies do actually exist - but all of this sounds pretty doable? you’d just need to change the vanilla versions, using data.raw. The only one i know you can to do right now (without scripting) is a trigger technology based on spawners killed.
