My mod is able to set special signals (anything, each, everything) on Inserter Control Behavior settings—even though those signals are not provided in the UI.

Typically, I expect a lua exception to be generated.

This is the offending code:

cb.circuit_stack_control_signal = updateSignal(cb ...

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/blueprint-variables this mod provides parameterization on blueprints right now. But since i share my blueprints, everyone that wants to use parameterized blueprints needs to have this mod installed as well and that makes it unusable for my case.

This was fixed in one of the last couple updates of Blueprint Variables.

👍 +1

I'm trying to set filters on cargo-wagon and it looks like I will have to use a similar workaround I used for train schedules: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=109275

That is, when the blueprint is placed, I check the `event.stack.get_blueprint_entities()` for cargo-wagons ...

+1 because it seems train fluid conditions already have something like this implemented and it would make my mod look much nicer:

Another possible change would be adding `entity_number` in the `event` so the ghost-item can be correlated back to the `event.stack.get_blueprint_entities()` list—which has `entity_number` and `schedule` properties. This would have the added benefit of being able to correlate other entity-ghosts to ...

I'm trying to extend my mod Blueprint Variables to support train schedules. When a player places a blueprint, for various reasons, I inspect the `entity-ghost` (LuaEntity) for variables (virtual signals). Currently I'm using `get_control_behavior()` for circuits, `supports_backer_name()` for train ...

Would benefit this mod as well:

I'm making a mod with signals that are treated as variables in a blueprint. Once the player updates the variables, they get resolved on the entities placed by the blueprint.

If the player uses "shift" and places the blueprint, there is currently no easy way to detect what buildings were updated ...

Can we get this added to the docs? Maybe, "A reference to the stack this comes from, for example the player's cursor"



Thanks!

Issue
Using a blueprint, if you use a `player.clear_cursor()` then subsequent enumerations of the `event.stack` provided by `defines.events.on_built_entity` fail.

Example:
local counter = 0

script.on_event(defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event)
game.print(tostring(counter ...

I'm having the same issue, I had a conga-line of 4. I lost the middle two.

you want to have conditions for deciding if a train should go to a station in addition to the existing conditions to leave a station


Not quite. When you turn off all stations in a train's list—and when it's time for that train to path to that station—it will skip that station. In my case I want ...

Trains are my current stumbling block. I can't seem to get a world past 3-4 trains before I get frustrated with trying to make them dynamic. Thankfully, v1.1 is bringing the train limit to train stations.

I've started building a "big" train network in my v1.0 world to accommodate the v1.1 changes ...

Been working on an Island Spawn scenario which I teased on reddit. Unfortunately the mods thought it was a rule 9 violation :lol:

In this scenario you spawn on an island with default resources and some electric poles. The four main resources—iron, copper, coal, and stone "infinitely" spawn over ...

See images below for issue.

Started my first non-peaceful game (just launched a rocket on peaceful). I switched to hostile enemies. After a bit, two spawners spawned literally in my base.
