Can you make this available on the API too? (In case you didn't already.)

/c let's you run any command you want in a touring complete language. It's impossible to judge a command for its "difficulty factor". And as Koub already said. Your example is actually making things easier :P That aside if mods are on the table there are several (i think "Change Map S...

The game doesn't really make any use of the temperature mechanic elsewhere anyways since nothing else needs to be heated so just get rid of the legacy mechanic for the sake of simplification and unification and call it a day. I think you have that backwards. The temperature mechanic, like many othe...

So to clarify this, running the modulo check every tick (I understand that the expression "if event.tick % 60 == 36 then" is evaluated every tick [...] Yes. That will run every tick. But that's - as i mentioned - basically what everybody does. Feel free to do performance measuring yoursel...

The slider itself is 1 widget, the slider with the text display and the label is 4 different widgets. So wouldn't it be possible for modders to just "manually" add the text+label on the lua side if the slider was available via the API? Or does it not fire an on_gui_click event for every m...

Or just a simple option "Show wires in ALT-view only", disabled by default. So everyone can chose to use it or not. And it doesn't add any additional hotkeys.

A slider is all 1 widget that receives the mouse-drag event and renders the "pip" at the new location on the same 1 widget. Ok. I'll guess i'll just wait a few years then... :ugeek: I'm a bit confused though as you said in another thread that the slider was a combination of 4 widgets and ...

Just loading the save takes 5.4 GB of RAM, if you also have the large blueprint copied into the library that adds another 1.5 GB and rendering the preview takes between 1 and 2 GB. How does this interact with multiplayer blueprint sharing? If i theoretically had 10 such blueprints in my library, wo...

Info bubbles? Sure: Tooltip . Your face: :oops: My face: 8-) For switching mod options on/off check-box is better suited than button imho (unless you want to go through the trouble of defining proper custom button styles to make the buttons stay debossed.) For getting positions there's events.define...

As described above for partial support it would be sufficient to have seperate <button_down> and <button_up> events. Are you saying that the base logic doesn't even support that? :| Yes. :cry: This makes me curious how "slider" type elements work in the base GUI though. Would you be nice ...

GUIs may seem daunting but creating them is actually quite easy, they're just a stack of boxes after all. Imagine stacking rectangular toy blocks into each other. Every one a tiny bit smaller than the last one. Interacting with them is easy too, they're just like a table with many subtables. I wouln...

https://eu2.factorio.com/assets/img/blog/fff-210-ccm-02b-new-vertical-overlap.png While i generally like the wire changes i have a few OCD-ish "issues" that i'd like to point out: I'd prefer if parallel wires had the same distance for all entities. On the picture inserters have ~5 pixels ...

/data/base/prototypes/entity/resources.lua defines type="resource", name="crude-oil", minimum=60000. "1.0" liquid per second (in-game) should be equivalient to "10" liquid on the code side. As to the exact relation between current .amount and actual production...

I've added fluid and recipe support for 0.16 but technology is a little more complex. Technology icons don't fit in the standard button size (32x32) meaning they're going to be near impossible to understand when squashed to fit or the button will be massive. I've used some sprite buttons with techn...

P.s. kinda derailing this but is it possible to put a button inside a frame or a in the table that's inside a frame? allowing to sort/expand/collapse the content of the frame would be so nice Flows, frames, tables and scroll-panes can be arbitrarily nested into each other. Without that GUIs wouldn'...

The base GUI logic doesn't support the concept of click-and-drag starting on one widget and ending on another so that makes this request highly improbable. As described above for partial support it would be sufficient to have seperate <button_down> and <button_up> events. Are you saying that the ba...

IF and ONLY IF your cases are mutually exclusive and you want to overengineer your stuff you can try directly calling a function from a table of functions like this: local cases = { [1] = function() --dostuff1 end, [2] = function() --dostuff2 end, [3] = function() --dostuff3 end } script.on_event(de...

If you just want to have a button with two functions you might consider left/right/middle click or alt/shift/control modifiers as a workaround: http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_gui_click (thanks again for that rsed) Also I wrote a feature request some time ago that might make KeyDow...

+10 for localizable dropdowns. English string dropdowns are just not an option in e.g. a Japanese locale.

The check locale function checks if everything that should have a translation has one and outputs everything that doesn't to the log file. Does it do this for all languages that have at least one locale file or only for the currently running locale? (Because you asked what other helper methods woul...
