What?
Buffer chests should have the same source priority as passive provider chests IF there are no items in storage chests.

To be more precise...
When the game looks for items in a logistic network to satisfy a request that accepts items from buffer chests, the following logic should take ...

Are there any plans to add achievements to beat the base game/space age in the death world preset?

• Recycling recipe generation will scale recycle time with item result count. In general things will recycle faster (e.g concrete recycling will be 10x faster).

What?
Add a new input. Holding that input and selecting an area with a blueprint/copy/cut tool automatically configures the grid of the resulting blueprint to be based off of the dimensions of the selected area, (NOT the smallest rectangle that can contain the entitites!) and sets the relative and ...

My use case is writing scripts that respect those settings.


When marking a building for deconstruction via order_deconstruction , specifying a player causes the entity to be removed if the player is in editor mode and has the instant deconstruction setting enabled. It also adds to their undo ...

A radar channel per space location, that all surfaces that are at that location share would be great.

What?
Rocket Silo's control behaviour should support an additional mode: "Read orbital planet requests". It should output unsatisfied space platform requests that are imported from the planet. (Or both platforms and planet.)

Why?
Locally on the planet, one might wish to tell the difference ...

I’ll need to do some git blame but from looking a that code it seems the doc comment is just wrong these days.

The name would also be wrong then. If it returns the exact same thing as build_grid_size, why is it not called build_grid_size? (Which is otherwise not readable off of prototypes in ...

LuaEntityPrototype:: building_grid_bit_shift does not behave as documented.


The log2 of grid size of the building.


My interpretation of this: building_grid_bit_shift == log2( build_grid_size ).

Expected:

build_grid_size == 1 => building_grid_bit_shift == 0
build_grid_size == 2 ...

TLDR
In the map editor with instant blueprint building enabled, if I place a blueprint containing a vehicle containing equipment in it's equipment grid, the equipment grid of the placed vehicle will be empty.

Steps to reproduce

Enter map editor
Import the provided blueprint
Place the ...

Title. Ability for script to read and modify the Map Editor settings of a player.

First I would like to note that 698828 precedes this. There is no point to monitoring signals if we cannot even tell when there is something to monitor in the first place.

With that out of the way, let me get down to proposing an actual API:

New function: LuaCircuitNetwork :: register_on_change ...

Is there any way for a script to fire an event when the player opens/closes remote view, similar to opening any other GUI? If not, perhaps there should be?

Remote view is a separate controller . Changing controllers has it's own event: on_player_controller_changed . This event is fired when a ...

I too have a use case for this. Also why not just allow this for all items.

Testing space platform construction in the editor. The one infinity chest acting as a passive provider for the ground rockets is causing massive lag spikes whenever logistic bots pick up items from it.

Space age + Quality mod

Some way to monitor changes would really be appreciated. I am working on adding custom control behaviour to an entity and I found no way for my code to sleep until the circuit inputs to the entity change.

My suggestion is to add a function to LuaCircuitNetwork that enables a monitor on it, causing ...

I think we need wire connected and wire disconnected events. My use case could benefit from being able to detect when the connections of an entity change in order to update things.

Steps to reproduce

Start a new freeplay.
Place the furnace from the inventory.
Enter the command, given at the end of this post.
Enter the same command again because the game STILL does not execute it the first time. (Annoying.)
Pick a blueprint tool and select the furnace.
Exit the ...

What
Add a way to specify a gui anchor to make a gui element appear next to whatever gui the player currently has open, regardless of it's type.

Why?
In case the mod/script does not care what kind of relative gui the player has open, just that something is shown, it is very difficult to ...

What
The sprite button quality field should accept any SpritePath the same way the sprite field does.

Why?
This would enable displaying the :any-quality: icon as a quality in a sprite button. There are possibly other uses such as displaying other virtual signals or even items/fluids in the ...
