Hiya! I'm thinking of doing a port of this for 2.0. Are you interested in both the Mortar Turret and the Gunboat variant of the Ironclad, or only one of the two?

This looks amazing! Does flipping work for all entity types, e.g. a pipe with limited fluid connections? Asking because I have a mod that lets you remove pipe connections in specific directions, and if they were automatically detected as flippable / rotatable with this change, that would be a massiv...

UPDATE: I figured it out, the noise layer is not necessary for accessing this at runtime, and for some reason the noise expression cannot be named the same thing as the property being accessed. The following works: for _,surface in pairs(game.surfaces) do local mgs = surface.map_gen_settings mgs.pro...

Hmmm, unfortunately I made that change to no avail, "temperature" still gets printed out, but "fertility" is always an empty result. As a sanity check, I also tried disabling all other mods and left just this one, and none of them seem to be the culprit. I've also tried not speci...

Hi! I'm having trouble accessing custom noise layers at runtime with calculate_tile_properties . I've searched around and I see that from the original post (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=438975&sid=73a3aebfb45679decff17ce7230ac02b#p438975), you have to add it to property_expression...

This almost works, but 1) I ran into too many bugs when changing function call order and details to find the golden bullet per se and 2) replacing the Rotate function isn't viable, since you can't emulate the rotate logic for items in your cursor (with Q). So it'd still be very handy to have an impr...

Update: While it's very roundabout and requires handling blueprint rotation manually, I was able to come up with a roadmap for a solution within the existing API. I've gotten a proof-of-concept underway locally, and I've documented my current findings here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?...

PS: As an aside, before I realized that the cursor_stack does have the blueprint entities and tiles on it (I originally assumed it didn't, since serpent.block() made it seem empty), I figured out a hacktime funtimes workaround that achieves basically the exact same result, and may actually be prefer...

Hi Devs and Modders! If you're reading this, I figured out how to actually implement this! Unfortunately it is a massive ordeal, and I haven't plunged the depths of it quite yet, but I plan on doing so and putting it into a utility mod for others to use unless official support for this is planned. A...

Another bump for this! I have a similar request for a use case documented here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=108482&sid=5e02a96 ... f2fa871f2f

Hi Devs! I am creating a mod for configuring pipe flow, very similar interface to Inserter Configuration (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Inserter_Config), and I have it 99.9% working! that said... I had a massive oversight in that pipes don't have a direction, can't be configured as rotatable at all,...
