Bumping post per Bilka's request.

Hey, recently played (partway, see end of post) through the new campaign for the first time. For those who don't know me, I used to be the head admin over on the wiki. I've got a pretty good amount of experience with the game, but to play this campaign, I pretended I was new to the game, as I ...

I can't seem to make heads or tails of the map gen settings system.

I'm looking to make a new surface that's just infinite grass in all directions (never generate ores, cliffs, trees, etc, just grass tiles, a blank pasture), but I can't figure out what I need to specify (or not specify).

I'd ...

This would be useful for mods that step on each other's toes, IE change or add a very similar thing.

Rseding91 asked me to post this here, so I'd like to request the following methods to manipulate achievements, if possible:


LuaPlayer::disable_achievement() - Takes an achievement, and disables/fails it, showing the failed achievement icon, and preventing it from being unlocked through script or ...

Problem: LuaPlayer.unlock_achievement() doesn't produce the same behaviour as documented on it's page of the API, http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaPlayer.html#LuaPlayer.unlock_achievement.

What I expected: Calling the method repeatedly on the same player with the same achievement would do ...

Just figured I'd drop this here, It's a survey I took of /r/factorio, which is I believe the second largest (or largest?) aggregation of players.

http://www.strawpoll.me/11294796/r

If steam reports that 1% of people are playing factorio with 32 bit, that means that's 1% of 69%. You greatly ...

I finally figured it out, you have to pull the table of items out of the dropdown, then set it back in, eg


local items = dropDown.items
table.remove(items, 1)
dropDown.items = items


I'm not sure why I had to do that, probably due to an interfacing issue, but either way, that worked out for me ...

I can't seem to figure out how to remove a specific index from a drop-down. Trying to manipulate items via table.remove(dropDown.items, dropDown.selected_index) doesn't seem to work, and there's no method to remove at a specific index.

Do I have to clear and recreate in order to remove an item? I'd ...

If I look on the api, I see that it says I can define a style, which is a string, to use for the newly .add{}-ed gui element, but I can't find any information about how styles are defined. I'd like to be able to reuse styles so I don't have to repeatedly modify the style after the element is created ...

Hi there Neemys.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble! I can confirm that your account does indeed exist, and your email is confirmed. I have sent another temporary password to the email that you used to sign up. Please let me know if you are able to log into the account with that.

Thanks.

But we have the same problem, if underground belts and pipes are cut using new underground belts and pipes logic fails for giving the right amount back.

Yeah, that's an issue that I could never find a clean solution to, because of how factorio's underground belt logic works. I guess it's fine ...

Oh hey, I'm the mod creator of Subterrain. I didn't expect someone to do this (and giving me a heads up would have been nice), but it's all cool. :)

With your permission, I could merge in your fixes to my control scripting code, but I wish to keep the technologies and entities seperate from ...

Hey there. I have resolved the issue with the Navbox, it was due to the huge table of contents offsetting the browser when you end up on the page. The links in the Navbox should now correctly move the browser to the relevant part.

We are currently looking into making the history template link to ...

Is there a way to make a force unable to be damaged by entities of a different force?

Eg make it so players of the player force cannot damage the "green" force, but all players in the "green" force can damage each other?

Thanks prematurely for any help on the subject.

I actually experienced this bug while making a mod, but it can be replicated in vanilla factorio.

What I did:
I placed a line of transport belts, and somewhere in the middle of the line I disabled one of the belts. When I put items at the beginning of the line of belts, they moved across the belt ...

Hey there Adil, just dropping by to say that I did in fact see your reply on the Wiki. Funnily enough, I don't use the forum that often. While I don't have any suggestions, I'm happy that you're taking the time to update it. If you don't mind, I could look it over and fix a few typos and whatnot. Do ...

This is not something that anyone can fix by clearing cache, it's an issue with the page itself. It's being addressed with the new main page.

Hey there, Wiki admin here. This is caused by a caching issue, and I am currently working on a new main page that should hopefully fix this problem. Thank you for your feedback.
