+1, but yeah i can only see this be easily implemented if it allows only you to drop to the planet, while being armour agnostic.

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 ...

As shown here, the item tooltips do not stretch to contain the entire text of the rocket launch product ‘subgroup’ - unlike other tooltips that can handle a missing locale

Similar to 'max_logistic_slots', i'd like to able to add a cap on the amount of logistic groups a logistic container can have at a time. I'd like this as I'm introducing a rework to requester chests, and buffer chests can be used as a cheese to get around what I'm doing (setting the default amount ...

+1 would be very useful for something i’ve been working on recently, especially with the inclusion of custom_tooltip_fields recently

+1, even if its limited to specific entity types that are commonly used by mods, this'd still be great to have

Why?
Two words: Belt storage. That terrible, brainless cheese strategy still exists, and people still use it, even after the recipe rebalance that was done before release.


I cant help but think... that factorio is a sandbox game? if you dont like a stratery that is only in the post-game, that ...

+1 was wanting to add one of these like 2 days ago, i went with a shortcut instead but it’d be nice to have one in the side menu

I was playing with 256MB of VRAM once... it was not fun

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.
i’d ...

Hi! I’m CS master’s student at the University of Wrocław. For a seminar on Game Modding, I’m focusing on Factorio’s modding scene. The Factorio team suggested I should ask the community directly for some of the questions—so I’d be grateful for your insights.

Questions (answer any):

Wanted to ask about the possibility of adding a trigger technology, that requires X amount of power to be produced. The way I imagine it working is that if all prerequisites are met and the power grid is producing the specified amount or more, the technology is unlocked.
(With regards to multiple ...

Thanks for the report however this is simply a case of "don't do that". You're telling the robot logic that the robot must be 100% charged in order to enter the roboport however by existing for 1 tick, it must consume energy and therefor won't be at 100% charge and so can never enter the roboport ...

I was adding a new tier of logi/construction bots to my mod and gave them an increased min and max_to_charge value, so that they would be able to charge from further away then the normal bots. However, when testing this bots out they would get stuck 'charging' (even after filling their battery up ...

Proposed solution of "ignored_by_quality" being an integer has a fundamental flaw that makes it impossible to add: if a recipe would finish, due to value of this field it coukd happen that X items of better quality and Y items of original quality would be given but they would have to be both given ...

I'd like to ask for a way to turn off the chance of getting a better quality item from a recipes outputs, because it can massively intefere with any item-based catalysts in mods.

+1, NothingModifiers already exist for the same concept (fake thing that lets you add custom effects)

+1, literally have been wanting this for over a year for things like fuel-powered generators

+1, seems like a nice feature to have - i can think of a couple mods that'd make good use of this

Presumably it'd just stop working? thats the only way I can see it working personally (presuming you mean "the electric network" in this context )
