Already exists in the form of inserters. There are a couple of mods that provide faster inserters, if that is what you are looking for.

Worth mentioning here is probably also this: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Global.html If I understand this correct the metatables in the global tables are gone when you save the game, so without the "re-loading" in the on_load event this wouldn't work at all.


Not just metatables ...

EDIT : Ok, I definitely don't know what I am doing here. Your code works, and mine has some unwanted side-effects.
I ended up using your code example. Thanks again...


Instead of going down this route, I suggest you turn 'sum' into a normal function with a table argument. Why? You don't have to ...

No, there is no way to add additional wire colors. See viewtopic.php?f=221&t=49959

Seconded, give us more GUI elements to play with :)


Tabbed frames (agui::TabbedFrames)

Already possible with what we currently have, but it is a hassle. A proper implementation would make using them so much easier.



Maybe the event related to changing the slider fires a lot of times per ...

show-logistic-robots-on-map is a debug option. If you press F4 you can enable it permanently.

I do not mind an option that does what you would like it to do, but would not use it.

Here is why I like the new QB:

Items showing up on/vanishing from the quickbar automatically was annoying. No, I do not want random debris I just picked up to show up on my quickbar.

That is what I meant. By no means a criticism of the mod (it's aweseome and I use it myself), but Wube could not release it like that for vanilla. So they'd have to come up with a way to hide the train going below the bridge that does look good. Pretty difficult imo with Factorio's ...

Bridges... awesome concept that needs to be in the core game.

And now that there is a mod for it there is finally a chance that it might happen.


The problem is and always has been: how to render bridges properly in Factorio's 2D engine? For a mod it is perfectly OK to just not care and show ...

i seem to have encountered a bug on 0.17.50 and mod version 0.3.4 (as of writing the most recent versions available).

when i set some manual signals in the gui of the combinator they are first visible while setting, and visible when closing the gui and mousing over the combinator (both in the ...

local area = {{x_offset - radius, x_offset - radius}, {x_offset + radius, x_offset + radius}}

You are using x_offset twice and y_offset not at all.

Subscribing a second time to the same event will overwrite the first one.

At the beginning of entities.lua you can find:

While a single long train might cause more CPU load due to the issues you mention, you have to remember that you can't just replace one long train with a short one. Shorter trains = more trains, which is going to ...

Thanks for having a look. However, this only solves the most common cause of the problem, not the underlying problem itself. It is still possible to focus buttons with the focus() method or the mouse. If you then hit Enter/Return, the button is toggled into the selected state and stays that way. I ...

I really like your art style. So far, I never got into any of the big conversion mods, but that might change when DIR is finished.

Thanks for the help so far.
Next question:
Does a on_focus event exist? and how can i find out, if an element is focused?


No, at least not directly, and you can't. A lot of GUI related stuff (mouse position, cursor position in a text field, the focused element) is not part of the game state ...

If you just want to keep the same value you don't have to define it all. That way your recipe will also use the default value and automatically update in case that ever gets changed. If you need the actual value to calculate something from it, there is no way around hard-coding it.

I want to read the crafting time (energy_required) for that new item, but If I try to access data.raw.recipe['item'].energy_required from data-updates.lua, I get a nil value.
