Brainbug incoming

Great news!

I hope for flying and digging bugs, just like the bugs in starship troopers --> AA and hardened concrete (or even some alienloot too) to block diggers would be cool. This with an implementation of automated vehicles (different tanks) would spice this up

If your mod is not secret then telling what you're actually trying to do would make helping easier.

Here it is:

So here I am, looking for help to update the tiberium mod / make a new one.

goals:
tiberium should:
grow
spread
damage player
damage buildings
transform trees into sporetrees (1 of x ; x=100?)
transform adjacent ore into tiberium
replace groundtiles with TiberiumGroundTiles on creation / spread ...

This should work:


Local amountAllCopper=0
look_for_copper = game.surfaces[1].find_entities_filtered{name = "copper-ore"} -- without area, whole map ist searched, even undiscovered

for i=1,#look_for_copper ,1 do
allCopperAmount = allCopperAmount + look_for_copper[i].amount
end



But this is ...

There are two things I'd like the do.
1. Each time a new chunk is generated, see if the're is Copper on it and if so, create a enemy spawner on it.
2. Once every 10 min, get a total of all the copper on the map. (so that would be on revealed chunks.)

So for Nr 1. I assume I should use the code ...

When you start a new map the game will generate the map in background for a while, instead of doing it all before you can start to play.

So this seems to be the point then. THX!

If you want to iterate over all chunks you should use

Hi guys, I have a question and hope you can help me:


How is the event on_chunk_generated called?

I expected it to be called once a chunk is generated for the first time. Not, if a chunk is updated.
I wrote the following code:

script.on_event(defines.events.on_chunk_generated, function(event ...

Pro Bots!

Many good points for bots were mentioned and I like the bots too.

They offer the possibility to construct in high density, without the need of getting your belts in there. And mixing belts (eg: red and blue belts) in one line is not a solution since you have one "slow" belt in your ...
