I would love to make a mod that adds some technologies that reduce robot energy consumption, but this is not one of the modifiers. I would very much like to see the modifiers removed in place of something that just allows the changing of values in data. As for what I understand, all the modifiers ch...

Can graphs be created and displayed like the production or power graphs? I would like to add more for a mod I am working on.

Any way to access this fake recipe?

Since the launching of a rocket and a satellite 'produces' 1000 space-science-packs, is there some form of link or recipe between them? I'm looking for some sort of connection similar to LuaItemPrototype.burnt_result or LuaRecipePrototype.products for a mod.

Back in FFF 164 (the initial explanation of Nuclear power), turbines reduced the steam temperature from 500 down to 120 which could then be sent into a cooling tower or consumed by a steam engine. Clearly, this is not how they work right now, but it is possible that it wasn't discarded. I looked aro...

Yep, it was the parentheses I included as part of the build_order() function.

That is a small detail that creates an incredibly complex problem.

I recently moved some code from control to a new file to reduce clutter. Unfortunately it no longer works because of an error I did not get before. The file is required in control.lua and is called through on_init and on_configuration_changed, both of which do have access to the game table (I checke...

So why does the electrical-energy-interface have a recipe?

I was working with my mod that uses recipes to create an order of all the items in the game. When printing the results, I noticed some items that I did not expect to find. I am aware of what loaders are, but have never seen the electrical-energy-interface before. The version of factorio I was runnin...

You can get the count of items in a train much faster by just calling train.get_item_count() -> http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaTrain.html#LuaTrain.get_item_count All items have a max stack size found with LuaItemPrototype .stack_size . Divide the number of items returned from train.get_item_...

Alright, my bad. I have no idea why I thought I read that item.subgroup would return a string.

I'm trying to find all the items with the subgroup "raw-resource" by using item.subgroup as seen on the lua api, but did not get the strings I was looking for: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/843714746854288495/80A4FCCB357E50A724407785F12482914FA9F0A2/ That was what I received a...

Yes I am. No idea how that got there. (Solved)

What you have given me there crashes with the same error when in control.lua. The problem I'm having is with script in the script.on_event, not the contents (although I know it does not work). I went and deleted the entirety of the contents of the function so I had only: script.on_event("Eco&qu...

It will be more helpful if you can provide us the whole lua file instead of just the snippet. The code above is the entire Lua file of control.Lua with the exception of a single comment above it that says, "-- test", but I added it anyway. What is the difference between: data:extend({ { t...

I replaced data now with game.recipe_prototypes so now I have this: script.on_event("Eco", function(event) local test = player.gui.center.add({type = "frame", name = "test", direction = "vertical"}) local frame = ui.add({type = "frame", name = "...

That was it. How do I access the recipes and items then in this stage if I cannot use data?

script.on_event("Eco", function(event) for each in data do if each[type] == "recipe" then table.insert(recipes, each) end end local test = player.gui.center.add({type = "frame", name = "test", direction = "vertical"}) local frame = ui.add({type = &q...

I'm interested if you have room for one more. I love working with trains and have died an embarrassingly large number of times from them. Recently finished a 130 hr 'marathon' game trying to substitute trains for logistic bots. Didn't work very well but I got the logistic embargo achievement.

The game does not allow me to use script.on_event or any other of the functions stored in script. It works fine with all my other mods but, in this particular one, crashes and brings up the error: "attempt to index global 'script' (a nil value)". What is causing this and how do I fix it?
