An addendum: now that fusiongenerator will implement burns_fluid, please make this change for that too.

I can easily imagine that being useful - allowing multiple tiers of generator the same way there's multiple lightning attractors, or having a more effective generator that outputs an awkward byproduct.

I wanted to see if a negative beacon profile (that is, setting profile = { -1 }) would cause a reduction in effect, misunderstanding how the transmission effectiveness worked. Instead, I get this funny UI error attached, and the beacons applied the reverse of the module effects.

Now, I really like ...

Ah, I thought ElectricEnergySourcePrototype had effectivity (i get the two names mixed up). Apparently it's only a property of burner and fluid energy sources. I believe that lever would allow you to do what you specified above.


It wouldn't, sadly - as far as I know, there's no way for an ...

Clarify what you mean? ElectricEnergySourcePrototype has no efficiency value.

Throwing my two cents in for a more concrete implementation idea:

If efficiency is negative, strikes will drain from the buffer instead of filling it.

A new field, minimum_buffer_content (value: float), is mandatory if efficiency is < 0. At runtime, if the current buffer energy is below this ...

I'm making a mod for redox flow batteries - where an electrolyte fluid is energized to store power - and I keep running into the issue that heat capacity is the only way to reliably hold the energy content of a fluid.

The only prototype in the game that consumes fluid, generates power, and outputs ...

I isolated the reproduction steps to the bare minimum:

1. Create a new mod, with Quality and Base as the only dependencies.
2. In your data.lua, add the following code:
data.raw.recipe["repair-pack"].ingredients = {
{ type = "fluid", name = "does-not-exist", amount = 1, }
}

This gives the error ...

This happened while playing LAN multiplayer. Steps to reproduce:

1. Remotely open spidertron equipment grid (I was on another planet)
2. Have other player ping a location (also on another planet)
3. With grid still open, click on ping

This seemed to open the remote view menu twice - I was unable ...
