IMO the priority should ONLY been to space platform foundation UNDER the cargo bays and the cargo bays itself. With a tweak, that cargo bays will start building from the hub - not somewhere disconnected.

The problem with this is that even after building cargo bays, the inventory could still ...

I made a mod that does this (and makes some other changes to the icons) https://mods.factorio.com/mod/coloured-tool-icons

Thanks for the report, I think this is not a bug. Please describe your use case / why it bothers you and share a save file for testing if you disagree.


This issue has been annoying me when remote trying to craft stuff in remote view,
for example if I want to make a transport belt, and I have ...

Seems like an easy fix to change the filter name to "Ground rail" instead.


Not easy, the way the game is coded is each entity can select another entity as a "deconstruction alternative",
so for your idea to work, you'd need to create a seperate "ground rail" entity, and have straight rail and ...

What else do you expect to happen?
I guess they could be kept in the machine but be "disabled", but with the current approach you can use inserters to put in different modules that are supported.

In that case, shouldn't the placed result have the force's colour? Otherwise the blueprint preview is incorrect...

Not a bug, see 122385

FYI: I made a mod that automatically converts infinite technologies to finite ones if they'll stop being useful due to the productivity cap: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/productivity-technology-limit
Unfortunately, due to bug https://forums.factorio.com/125350, the technologies show up in the GUI ...

Did you try explicitly setting hide_from_signal_gui to false?


Thanks so much!
Somehow I missed that when I looked at the molten-iron prototype.
For some reason I also needed to set hidden = false though.

Hopefully a mod can come and close this pointless thread as "Already Implemented"

I noticed some recipes (e.g. "Casting Iron") do have signals for them.
But I can't work out what logic the game uses for those.
In particular, I can't work out a way to make a recipe show up when it doesn't already (e.g. the recycling recipes https://mods.factorio.com/mod/recycling-factoriopedia)

I'm curious, what was causing you to not get enough batteries?

Hello! I found one nasty bug. Unfortunately, the mod does not work in case of modified shells.

Not technically a 'bug' as I was not trying to make it work with mods.


Can I register these shells through "or"? For example, like this:

for _, obj in pairs{data.raw["ammo"]["artillery-shell" or ...

This makes perfect sense, whitelist nothing is blacklist everything and vice versa.


For anyone else having trouble parsing that comment:

When in blacklist mode with no filters, the inserter will happily pickup anything
When in whitelist mode with no filters, the inserter will pick up ...

Sorry, I wasn't sure!
It's just there's already a way for mods to have stuff ignored so you don't need a new engine feature for it.

I'm trying to replace the electric beam sound by a custom one but I can't make it work.

This is the code I used

data.raw.beam["laser-beam"] = {
{
filename = "__BetterSounds__/sounds/beam.ogg",
volume = 1
}
}


Well according to https://github.com/wube/factorio-data/blob ...

Hmm good idea, you should be able to select wires in the entity filters tab? Or add a seperate tab just for wires?

In the meantime you can use https://factorio.tmin10.ru/ to decode a blueprint, copy it to a text editor, search and replace, and then copy it back to the website. Ive done this many ...

I was curious, so I read the EULA, it's not very clear, it says the following (emphesis added):

I'll make the engine mark it as used even if it doesn't do anything with it. That way it can stay during the whole data stage.

Would be great if this was available to mods. There are other mods that add properties in this manner.

Unfortunately, during testing it turned out that the "spike-effect" does not work. Biters do not attack spikes.

Another problematic point was also revealed. Pentapods creatures have the ability to destroy buildings under their feet while walking. But in the case of the "land-mine" this effect ...

The trigger to have a planet available seems to be a platform arriving.
So if you editor-build a platform above undiscovered planet, you could build a thruster, fill it with fuel, set up schedule to allow to move to Nauvis and back, then click "go to Nauvis", immediately "go to Vulcanus", and ...
