Don't forget that even an unbiased output will exhibit a random walk: on any given run, the imbalance is expected to grow as the square root of the number of samples.

For a specific example, if you recycle 1 million processing units, each with a 50% chance to generate an advanced circuit, you ...

The way most mods do it is create a storage.custom_fields table in control.lua that maps entities to custom fields.

You then need to update the table whenever an entity is built or destroyed.

How about a different "name"?

Try giving the recipe and item a different localised_name.

This design produces legendary stone from mined calcite. 4 legendary stone per second.

events.on_tick is very cheap, don't worry about calling it every tick.

Of course you should try to minimize the work you do every tick. Reading a single table index is a great way to do it.

You are looking at line 42 in the wrong file.

Fix the file at the top of the error message, prototypes/compatibility/bobs_modules.lua

Can you do it in data.lua?

data.raw['planet']['aquilo'].map_gen_settings.autoplace_controls.aquilo_crude_oil.frequency = 10
data.raw['planet']['aquilo'].map_gen_settings.autoplace_controls.lithium_brine.frequency = 10
data.raw['planet']['aquilo'].map_gen_settings.autoplace_controls.fluorine_vent ...

You need to set that in data.lua.

Ctrl + Alt + Click on Settings.

Click The rest.

Click both sprite-altas checkboxes.

This makes startup slightly slower the first time, then much faster every other time.

I am trying to make a plant type of "Flaming ashland tree". This requires the fire stateless_visualisation_variations to change position as the tree grows.

Please scale the stateless visualisations based on a plant's tick_grown.

The Factorio engine does not support object-oriented programming.

You can't extend an entity. And you can't use "instance-of" with user-defined entities (because user-defined classes are impossible).

Lua does allow you to use object-oriented patterns, but it only works in your own mod and can't ...

One trick is to resize the game window into a square. Zoom is limited by your longest screen dimension.

You need a third entity whose only purpose is to appear in blueprints.
