I came here searching about a similar problem. Is this correct? Because this implies that only one recipe can have an item as its main_product. I found that the main_product is not acting as expected for a series of recipes that share the same main_product and I'm trying to figure out why.

I wonder if it is related to the change from https://forums.factorio.com/115137. Require("file") works fine if the file.lua exists directly but does not follow symbolic links any longer even when file is on the same drive. The require() statement works with symbolic links if I include the ...

Hey long time no see ! Funny to hear you ask questions as i remember you provided many answers to me about gravitationnal wave or speed of information and other complicated things that i'm still thankfull to have learned; I guess it's my turn :) Excellent. Thanks. And hey man, yes, I'm back. I'm wo...

Wait what am I looking at here? Do these actually work?

Hey, I'm reviving my mods. Is the config in adamo.lua still valid? Trying to figure out why it's not spawning natural gas at the starting location in some cases. Also wanted to make sure the simplesilicon.lua doesn't need any updates. I can update them, just trying to figure out if that's the proble...

I took a blind shot in the dark that might fix this. Give it a try when you have time.

Nice to see you back again, unfortunatly do i not play factorio currently anymore. Regarding my playthrough with adamo chemicals+angels+bobs i created a simple compatibility mod fixing the balance, tech or other issues. But i had also to change some of those mods to get compatibility and a nice gam...

Do you mean with “mask” a bitmask, where if two poles have the same bits set a connection is allowed? I think that’s over engineered. A number (= color) would be enough. Only poles of the same color can connect. In practice this would look like so, that you place poles and then have a tool to give ...

This should be possible with a mod. Using scripts when entities are built, connections between incompatible entities can be removed, or connections between compatible entities created. It is possible to make a hack to do this using a script, yes. Scripts are inherently unstable and thus are not the...

TL;DR A "network-mask" value on the electric pole prototype that masks the auto-wire feature when placing poles in range of each other, or something similar, to allow creating pole entities that automatically enable overlapping electrical networks. What ? The technical aspect is explained...

That's helpful. Thanks.

Thanks posila. I'll try running the recalculate function in his mod to see if that fixes it, or keep that in mind to remove and reinstall if we see a similar hang. We actually have a plan to write another mod that does a similar function, so maybe that will light the fire for us to get on that. Woul...

Dude, I feel like at this point I have kicked around every color/alpha value in this game, and I still don't quite know how they all layer. In your case I think you should try the runtime tint first. Set r, g, and b to whatever, then the a value to your desired transparency. See what happens. I got...

edit: nevermind, I'm an idiot and missed half this thread, where you already responded, Deadlock. Good luck with your degree. PhD programs can be such a great way to spend your time not feeling valued. Based on my few interactions with Deadlock, I am confident that if he ultimately decides to abando...

This game is more for engineers to relax and play with simplified versions of what we do. If you find factorio interesting, you may find engineering interesting. If you want to learn more about engineering, then learn math as well as you can (doesn't have to be perfect), and start trying to use it t...

Edit 2: Realized I'm not on the newest experimental version. Not sure how to get help then? Do I just have to wait and hope it ends up fixed in one of the experimentals? Thanks in advance for all the hard work. Regarding this question, you can just download the experimental version and try it. It m...

Hi All, I need some help with this one before I can tell you much more about what's going on. I can provide a savefile -- http://adamo.network/factorio/paludis.zip -- and a mod pack to go with it -- http://adamo.network/factorio/mods.zip. I would like to do more to diagnose this issue myself, but if...

From what i see, issue is quite convoluted. That entity has 2 fluid boxes for input, first one is with 2 underground connections and no pipe covers (same applies to pipe pictures), second has 1 regular connection and has pipe covers. When multiple fluidboxes are merged due to recipe, they form a Fl...

Sure thing. Take a peek at this save, which is just a simple proving ground. I *think* you can see the issue with just the following mods: adamo-carbon and adamo-cinefaction. I'll upload those here. Hopefully with those loaded you can see the issue right when you load up. Peek at the "Still&quo...
