Re: A sibling API to play_sound: play_music

A "sound_finished_playing" event may also be a fix. I can just not have music on the surface then use that event to "change the music" myself.

Re: [2.0.43] Player dropping to planet hangs indefinietly.

I'll put my late reply here. Yes, for a surface like that you do want a walkable spawn area at least to start with. The original idea at that time was to make the player "craft their own ground" remotely if this happened then drop the tools for that but I abandoned that idea.

Still a late thank you ...

This was one of my questions, because things looked fine.


Thank you for the fix. :)

Can't place item ghosts into proxy inventories.

When trying to place item ghosts into an inventory via a proxy, it simply does not happen.

You can't make requests via the proxy. my expectation was that it would place the request in ...

[2.0.72] Crash creating lightning rod without graphics (LightningPriorityCache::getPriority)

I registered this lightning rod, then the game crashed with the log provided. In retro I think it wanted to throw an error because I have no graphics, but crashed instead.

Re: Discussion/Poll: Potential unification of recipe category & additional_categories

Keeping it list is fine here in my opinion.
Setting the default to a list that just has "crafting" is a good option for backwards compatibility. I don't know if I'd want it to be "either a string, or an array" for full backwards compatibility.

Space platform tile transitions

Would it be possible to get the "under tile" transitions without having to use the space shader as the base tile on the surface, then covering it up with something so said shader is no longer visible?
I'm trying to trigger the "tall" tile transition, but it only shows up if the tile around it has ...

Re: Discussion/Poll: Potential unification of recipe category & additional_categories

The single utility that 2 fields have is that recycling can have some defaults to go off of, but that is not enough gain to keep them separate. Considering that it can also just be turned off.

Also, I think it was planned for 2.1 anyways.

Re: A sibling API to play_sound: play_music

I think playing the track, or one track from a list then going back to the normal ambient is also a good option. Then you don't need to track how long is your track then turn back to the regular music.

Re: A sibling API to play_sound: play_music

My goal is to change the track (either to one track, or pick from a playlist) when the player enters a specific area on the map, then change it back when either leaving or completing a task. Effectively an enhancement to the game's dynamic music because I can know when to change it.
I'm fine with it ...

Re: A sibling API to play_sound: play_music

I'd support it. I have something in the backburner that needed this, and on my side for now I'll just add in an extra surface to have the music change. I think that solution is a little excessive, considering how much area I need that music for.

Thank you very much! I also just found that the mod can't be removed from any saves because it will crash with the same error.

Log included as an attachment, it mentions a linked container related nullpointer. Unfortunately right now I can only reproduct it in dev, so the in-dev code for the affected mod will also be included.

This is most likely the interaction between a proxy container that is targeting a linked ...

I had this happen on Manjaro sometimes (so I turned it off), disappeared when I switched back to linux mint.

Re: Agri science spoilage is not fun, just annoying.

Your main issue with agri science is that you don't follow what Gleba wants you to do. It wants you to create a constant flow of production instead of stockpiling anything and people have trouble getting used to it.

The number of packs you launch does not matter as long as they reach your labs at ...
