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...

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...

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...

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.

LOL! ...my favorite start by far!

Attempting to explain to you why we can't just "make it use multiple cores" doesn't seem like a good investment of my time. PSST: Rseding91 and Sparkysam https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-151 :geek: I know that FF exists but we tried it and it didn't pan out. There aren't any section...

Hello, my name is AenAllAin, and ...I am a Factorio addict. I know that the first step towards dealing with addiction is admitting that you have a problem, and that is why I am here to day. For me it all began about 6 months ago on that tragic day when my brother told me, "Dude! You have to pla...

@Ranakastrasz: I appreciate that you took it constructively as it was meant, and you make some very good counter-points to my criticism. My apologies if I sounded overly negative and harsh (reading it again, I feel like I focused too much on the negative and ignored a lot of the positives). I totall...

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...

Oh! Sweet! Thanks ...I knew I was forgetting to check something; sorry.

Can I bump this request? ...I just started working on a mod I call IdleHands to keep your player crafting queue running when you are not using it actively; it sets item slots and quantities (with an infinite option) just like setting a requester chest slot, but instead it would trigger you to manual...

I'm trying to make a button for a selected blueprint item and duplicate the icon appearance ...how can I do that? Here is the code I am using at the moment, which works but not as desired: if event.element.parent.name == "registry" then e_registry = event.element.parent e_schematic = event...

Alright, I got it all working. Thanks for the help. Hopefully, my approach is correct. Here is the working version of the code just for future reference: local l_inventory = global.blueprinter.inventory[ l_player.index ].get_inventory( defines.inventory.player_main ) local s_stack = l_player.cursor_...

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 ...

Aww ...so; it does have to be a square then? Ok; thanks for the answer.

... It wouldn't have been that hard to say LuaEntity::get_circuit_input(connectorIndex) You know absolutely nothing about how much work is involved in adding anything in. @ratchetfreak: Aww! Come on dude; that is harsh. Just relax a little bit. They made some software and decided to do early access...

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 ...

Ok. Thank you for the help guys. I think I finally figured out what is going on. First here's the code: local l_player = game.players[event.element.player_index] local s_stack = l_player.cursor_stack ... if s_stack and s_stack.valid_for_read and s_stack.type == "blueprint" and s_stack.is_b...

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but the LuaItemStack.blueprint_icons array is empty for my blueprints that only use one icon.
