Not sure what specifically causes it, but sometimes reads from starter_pack on LuaSpacePlatform will be nil. Occurs when space platforms are created normally via rocket as well.

+1

adding moons to planets and have the orbit draw properly would be really cool

Essentially, add direct counterparts to spawn asteroids instead of asteroid chunks.

destroy_asteroids(area, position, name, limit, invert)
create_asteroids(asteroids)
find_asteroids_filtered(area, position, name, limit, invert)

The function requires asteroid chunks to have a specified position and velocity, which is just kinda odd. I think the parameters should be optional and just have the chunk spawn along with the other regularly spawned chunks if position is missing.

Add a parameter to change the max carrying weight of a rocket in the silo prototype.

+1 to this.

would be interesting as well if this could also send items between space platforms in some way, which could enable more interesting space platform exclusive processing.

It's weird that only a specific few properties about a prototype are affected by quality. For example, - Why am I not able to set roboport ranges to scale with quality? - Why are beacon ranges not able to scale? - Why can't train attributes scale with quality? (acceleration, top speed, cargo wagon s...

The starmap has a solid foundation, but is lacking a significant amount of features I think is missing. A decent amount of these are in Space Exploration already. - Add the ability to add some sort of decorations to the starmap to spice up just gray lines on a black background - Add a flag to hide p...

i can see every one of the combat tweaks being good EXCEPT personal laser defenses. 66% damage reduction is honestly just insane, especially to the only form of automatic defense for the character.

perhaps a better direction to take it would be a nerfed radius instead?

big +1 to this, having some sort of output where there's only 1 guaranteed result would be extremely nice to have

Add a flag to solar panel prototypes that inverses the power production

E.g. produces power at night and none during day

the animations for the pentapods look fantastic, but applying those animations to the spidertron is just not it. the vertical movement looks fine, but the horizontal movement really looks like a prototype more than a finished product. i think the knees on the spidertron should remain a little stiffe...

It only becomes an issue because I have two separate scripts, one to store mining patches and one to store the machines that go on those mining patches. The way I had the patches indexed was by entity so I could use mining_target on the machines and just grab the associated patch, but it just looks ...

I'm having issues when trying to grab a mining-drill entity's mining target whenever it is created. It seems to only get it on the first tick it runs, even though it's a pump jack. I tried using find_entities_filtered on the area where it spawns, but it doesn't return what I need. It seems to return...

Hi!

I cannot wrap my head around how the autoplace works in scripting.

My goal is to spawn a singular resource well every 1000-1500 meters, but I have no clue how I would achieve this with autoplace in scripting.

Can someone help me understand?

This worked like a charm, thanks!

Hi! I'm currently developing a mod with metal casters that can convert molten metal directly into intermediate products. I would like for the assembler to automatically output these products, similar to how the recycler appears to in FFF-375. Any ideas on how to achieve this? Was thinking of potenti...

The oil example given is a bit problematic. If you think about how this process works there's some annoying steps for the player. 1. Research pumpjacks 2. Go place pumpjacks. But then there's nothing you can do with the oil. 3. Then go back and make chem plants oil refineries. 4. Then go back to th...
