To reproduce:
1) Player A enters remote view.
2) Player B pauses the game.

Player A can no longer interact with the game. Escape doesn't leave remote view or bring up the menu, so it's impossible to unpause, save, or exit (especially if player B leaves the game after pausing).

This makes Factorio more fun by turning pollution and combat into an interconnected system you actively engage with, instead of just ...

How do I get the entities created by LuaSurface::spill_item_stack()?

I tried the code below. It creates the entities, but nearbyLoot is empty.

local loot = {name="iron-plate", count=10}
event.entity.surface.spill_item_stack(event.entity.position, loot)

local nearbyLoot = event.entity.surface ...

It'd be helpful if LuaSurface::spill_item_stack() returned the table of items it create.

I made aliens drop loot, and I'm attempting to mark the loot for deconstruction after there's no more enemies in a certain radius. This time delay means I can't use the instantaneous deconstruction provided by ...

I'll give it a try, thank you.

How can I check the pollution required to create a biter?

This says the biter prototype doesn't have a "pollution_to_join_attack" key:
local quantity = math.ceil(event.entity.prototype.pollution_to_join_attack / 1000)

This says "data" is nil:
local quantity = math.ceil(data.raw["unit"][event ...

I discovered the same values. The "darkness" field is read-only, and I don't think I can use the others to increase the difference in light levels between day and night.

How do I define cliffs and water in a map gen preset? They're not included in autoplace_controls. The "water" field only accepts a string (which appears to define size), and setting a "cliffs" variable appears to do nothing.

Does anyone have experience modifying lighting? I'm trying to make day and night more interesting, but I'm unsure if any of this is possible. I've spent an hour searching the API documentation and files with no success.

I'd like to reinstate gradual light toggling at dawn and dusk. The sudden ...

I encountered an odd issue. Clocks placed at an outpost don't show the time. The ones in my main base work okay, near the spawn point. I'm not 100% sure distance from origin is the deciding factor. I'm going to do some further testing.

Edit:

Oh! I didn't realize clocks must be in short range of a ...
