Factorio v2.1.8. The mod portal has a different color for the new "+" recommended optional dependencies. Would you consider highlighting them in a different color text ingame? I can't quickly tell the recommended mods appart from mandatory ones from just reading. I would like to suggest the cool ...

Given the recent FFF post, could this be moved to “Implemented.”?

+1 We would also like this information to be exposed.

Thank you. I fixed BLOOSH GOOSH myself with eugene’s suggestion (space travel required: false, instead of blank). It worked for me perfectly.

This behavior still applies to other mods with the same issue, such as https://mods.factorio.com/mod/machine-upgrades?from=search . This mod also started ...

Background
I made a mod ( https://mods.factorio.com/mod/zzz-bloosh-goosh/discussion/69553b8ae2db996ba2131fbe ). My first version accidentally had the “space travel required” flag. The next version fixed this, as the info.json no longer has the “space travel required” flag, and space-age is not a ...

I found ProductionHealthEffect ( https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/types/ProductionHealthEffect.html ) today.

It seems to only be used in captive biter spawners, so I can kind of make out how this works... But could you add a docstring to know without ctrl-F the whole data.raw? It's also not ...

Rolling stock are currently not compatible with the upgrade planner. As a result, it takes a lot of manual effort (or a hackey mod, like the old Train Upgrader) to upgrade existing train systems to use compatible modded trains. This makes many modded trains less desirable, as people will unlock ...

My mistake. I intended to post this in the API documentation request forum. I only noticed when Curiosity mentioned.

Could a moderator help me out by moving this thread to the doc request forum? EDIT: ty, mod

The main thing is: Since I don’t play multiplayer, I did not understand in what situation it could even be nil.

I can put in my own nil checks since it is listed as int or nil. But I still wouldn’t know what situations are getting caught in that nil check.

It may make sense to specify in the main ...

I just got a crash from not understanding how this event fully works. Specifically, could this be added to the documentation for “player_index” in “on_player_banned”

“Index of the banned LuaPlayer. Is nil if the banned username isn’t tied to a player that ever joined the game.”

My own lack of ...

I cannot unsee this, and it makes me irrationally displeased.

It’s still strange that you can see it in the Runtime docs under that search, but not from Prototype stage.

I may be proposing the wrong fix, but I do believe that the current placement is not consistent.

My mod makes invisible beacons with the "not-upgradable" and "not-selectable-in-game" entity flags. However, an upgrade planner can still select it and add modules to it. This video was sent to me in a bug report: https://streamable.com/6asdpd

To reproduce, make an entity with the "not-upgradable ...

LuaHelpers currently has an entry in Runtime stage docs. This entry correctly declares the helpers object as available in prototype stage.

Problem: helpers can NOT be revealed when searching for LuaHelpers/Helper/etc in Prototype Stage nor Auxiliary docs.

Please link it in the other stages OR just ...

Thank you for the response.


If you want to rotate the entities, please do so in a different event.


What event would you suggest? I agree that it is best if our mod avoids modifying entities until the engine is done modifying them.

I do not see other promising events in the Event Tracer mod ...

Then I humbly request the global moderator to merge threads.

Proposal

Splitters allowing multiple item filters at once.

Use Case

This would be useful for splitting sushi into separate sushi belts, especially in cases like Fulgora, space, or quality setups.



It seems doable, but may be challenging to do performantly. Just putting it out there. Note ...

Specifically for splitters. This would be useful on Gleba to divert items that should be taken out of circulation instead of crafting with them.

This feels like a niche edge case, but the spirit of Bilka compels me to report it.

The Bug

In an on_built_entity event callback: if entity.direction == defines.direction.west then entity.rotate{by_player=player_index} end
Boot up a new sandbox save. Cheats on.
Put a stack of belts AND the ...

Sorry, but I have no idea how to reproduce this error reliably. This is like the 4th time this happens to me since May. So it isn't a total anomaly, but it is very sporadic.

I only ever noticed this being an issue when I started modding, and having VScode open with mod files (and I was not writing ...
