Re: Friday Facts #365 - Future plans

Kovarex you need to do what most devs hate doing: manage your time and work-life balance (instead of being drawn into your development so completely). I think you need a personal/dev assistant; someone to tie up loose-ends when you get pulled away on something else, to track the tasks/things that ar...

[Bots] Bot-tle your Rage

TL;DR Stop suggesting your bot-hate problems, become other peoples' bot-love problems via not so subtle bot-nerf suggestions. What ? If your only path to making a game balanced is destroying the parts you don't appreciate or prefer, then the issue is more your lack of imagination than it is an issu...

[UI Improvement] Armor-Battery Power Details

TL;DR Add a way to see more detailed information about the status of the battery and power for your armor. What ? In reference to the power for my suit of armor, I love (a) not knowing how much power I have when full, (b) that my battery and power source are not broken when one of my modules is bei...

Re: [0.12.29] Starting in the middle of an ocean

I don't see this as a bug either; it is at most the lack of a feature. I also don't think it is worth wasting the time and effort to add a fix since it is so rare and the work-around of just restarting is so easy.

@Ranakastrasz: I appreciate that you took it constructively as it was meant, and you make some very good counter-points to my criticism.

Re: [MOD 0.13.x] Modular Armor Revamp

In my opinion, this is mod is honestly one of the worst in the game; it is definitely one of the worst I have ever tried. I think the main reason for this impression is that it seems to be mis-categorized. This mod is listed under the somewhat benign category of "New Items, Entities, Extensions...

Alright, I got it all working. Thanks for the help. Hopefully, my approach is correct.

l_inventory.insert(s_stack) That doesn't make an exact copy of the stack, that just inserts a new empty blueprint into the inventory as if you did "insert({name="belueprint", count=1})" What you want is: http://lua-api.factorio.com/0.12.33/LuaItemStack.html#set_stack which will ...

This makes me very sad. I can't post my drill mod because of this issue. I don't think the "everything must be a square, because Factorio hates rectangles" answer is a good one. Maybe, I didn't describe the problem well enough... (a) I have a 3D model of a square drill. (b) When rendered f...

I don't know if this would be considered a bug or just flagrant abuse of the system. To sum up... A. I create a dummy player entity: local s_bpr = game.get_surface("blueprinter") -- after creating the other surface of course player.force.chart(s_bpr, {{-40,-40}, {40,40}}) -- chart the new ...
