Everything for them was implemented, except for the important part where they get read into the game

Some love was added for the next version

I didn't see any heatpipes at those coords, But I did get it to load, no promises that nothing else got broke in the process though!

Is it cheating if I debug factorio and make it pick a force that exists.

Surface.create_entity{target =, source =}

MapPosition is missing as an optional for target and source both takes either LuaEntity(with health for target) or MapPosition

-> You're right, thanks, fixed for the next release.

I am 95% sure this used to work

Create a single yellow underneathie, point at it and run

/c entity = game.player.selected;
entity.order_upgrade {force = entity.force, player = game.player, target = "fast-underground-belt"}
entity.surface.create_entity {
name = entity.get_upgrade_target().name ...

Plop a yellow belt just inside the end of a construction network with red belts in storage,
Hit it with the upgrade planner
/c game.print(game.player.selected.to_be_upgraded()) -> true
/c game.print(game.player.selected.get_upgrade_target()) -> nil

If there are no red belts in storage upgrade ...

Scenario will open with generic default settings I.e 50x50 size and not the settings from the rail-world preset

Start a mod scenario from the command line

Start Factorio with factorio --load-scenario ModName/ScenarioName --preset default

The scenario is loaded with generic defaults 50x50 size etc

I second the nil if zero route!

find_empty_stack(item) → LuaItemStack
Finds the first empty stack. Filtered slots are excluded unless a filter item is given.

The optional filter name on find_empty_stack only returns empty filtered stacks


/c game.print(type(game.player.get_main_inventory().find_empty_stack('steel-chest ...

but it is free landfill

Temporarily Possibly as one of the ToDos is 'fix for water tiles'

Does the spill eventually clear up?

Not currently..... But maybe something to add in the future!

Make sure to update your mods

Checking miner entity status on on_resource_depleted returns low_power

Place 2 resources down next to each other
/c game.player.surface.create_entity{position = game.player.position, name = 'iron-ore', amount =5}
place a chest, and a miner shoving things in it.
When the first resource is depleted ...

Why pcalls though........

This is a mod issue, By the looks of it with one of my mods. Soooooooooo I think I know why just need to time to figure out how to handle it.

I'll see if I can come up with some ideas for this. In the meantime you can use the `edit held item' keybind

What if destroy in the map editor also destroyed every entity the entity collides with in its collision box? I can't think of anything off the top of my head that could be bad there except very minimal code bloat.

Seconded
