Heya,

A 'small' thing, but it would be nice to define graphics for accumulators that are empty and/or fully charged.

e.g. a red blinking led animation for empty, and a green led for full.

Cheers

Deliciously succinct!

Can't wait to try and eat fish before they slip straight out of my hands!

Thanks!

More of a query!

I was thinking a little about spoilage (I haven't touched it much as I'm not really working with SA) and I had the question pop into my head:

Can an item spoil into nothing? As in, is it possible to make an item decay completely.

This would be useful if something drops on the ...

I've included a zipped .mkv video of in game footage of this issue happening.

(This is when turret_base_has_direction = false)

Cheers

Heya,

I have this annoying bug where a turret that has turret_base_has_direction = false and some turn_range limit the turret will turn its base to face the direction if an enemy exits its cone of view and then become locked into that new angle. These turrets also have the 8-way-direction flag.

If ...

I've looked and can't seem to find any solution to this... So a little bump for visibility.

I'd say it's a bug if it wasn't used in the base game. It would be nice for robotics to activate this remote ability though.

Thank you, that is my fault. I'll update the mod.

Yep, no problem. Find the save attached.

Heya,

I have a train with an equipment wagon (A cargo wagon with an equipment grid).

The roboport equipment DOES work (robots are sent out in range of the train/wagon) when the train is being driven on 'Manual', but when the train is on 'Automatic' the robots don't leave the train.

Heya,

When using the create-entity trigger, there is a property called "as_enemy" which forces the owner to be the enemy force

Would it be possible to make an "as_player" which would make the resulting entity be the player force.

Perhaps that would be at odds with the other one, so perhaps a ...

Heya,

I have a create-entity trigger effect that makes a few entities on creation. These are furnaces in this case.

They are created on enemy death, but as the player force I cannot use them. What determines the force they are created as? Is it inherited from the origin entity owner type (e.g ...

I have had help to solve this

The fix was that the created entity should have its collision mask customised/changed to include the ghost layer.

Yes that works

Many thanks again!

Rseding91 wrote: Tue Jul 08, 2025 5:07 pm Note the reason it doesn't work how you're asking is: it's using the collision mask from the entity defined in the trigger.

Ok that makes a lot of sense. it would use the created entitys collision mask.

Much thanks, I will report back.

Heya,

I have a" create-entity" trigger effect which does this:


{
type = "create-entity",
entity_name = data.entity_name,
check_buildability = true,
find_non_colliding_position = true,
non_colliding_search_radius = 3,
tile_collision_mask = {layers = {ghost= true} }
}


When this is ...

Darn, I was hoping it'd all be on a trigger effect as I don't want to over rely on control stuff.

Unfortunately you can't even use the layer="ghost" as from looking at it, this is only the check for the initial test, but not the outward radius of re-checks.

Heya,

I have a create entity trigger effect that is the result of an enemy attack. It creates an entity where the attack hits.

However, this has a side effect of removing any player ghosts that happen to be on that location.

I'm using the two properties, which I thought may take ghosts into ...

Far as I'm aware it's not possible to make a gun that doesn't require ammo - presumably because some portions of it's attack is based on the ammo used.

You can make one that doesn't CONSUME ammo by setting the attack_parameters.ammo_consumption_modifier to 0. It still needs ammo in the gun but ...

What have you achieved so far?


All I've been able to get is making a new weapon, attach it to the car, but it still requires ammo in some capacity it seems.

ammo_type =

source_type = "default",
category = "gun-noise",
target_type = "position",
clamp_position = true,

Something I was looking into a little while back but couldn't get something that I wanted.

I'm looking to make an image layer on a building, that is essentially the 'opposite' of a shadow layer.

A layer that adds an additive glow during the day, and fades out when it's night. As if the sun is ...
