Already answered, see https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=573867#p573867 There is an argument to make that there is a lot of mods that console could handle but when you think about it, then yeah, the dev's line of argumentation makes a total sense. PC players can tinker with mods, load a fe...

Why no mod support? I’m guessing it’s either: 1) Lack of CPU power and/or RAM 2) Trouble porting the Lua library, since it uses JIT, and the Switch won’t let unsigned code be marked as executable. Also, not using JIT would make 1 even worse, as well as fragmenting the codebase 3) Issues with commun...

Could some mod move this topic to Modding interface requests board, please?

If you could define a LocalisedName in lua during the settings stage for allowed_values, you could resolve this easily, but it is not exposed to the API to be able to do this. Interface request time? If there is really no way to do it right now then interface request time, sure as heck. (Both for n...

I've uploaded a new mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Rohlinheatagtmuf_Hdhaotaotfnllsape-atnsasri/downloads) 3 days ago and it already has 700 downloads which is way more than my older mods had around this age. I've added a new version 8 hours ago. At that moment the old version had around 150 down...

OK, a real example from my latest mod. Rohlinheatagtmuf Hdhaotaotfnllsape'atnsasri.cfg There is 165 entries in this file but it could be only 53 (> 3x less!) if duplicates were removed. I'm using a template of the locale file and then create duplicate files by a script but this is a problematic appr...

I'm not sure if this count as a bug but it looks bizarre.

I don't see a bug here. What exactly looks bizarre?

All this blue text (beside the first two words) is the name of my mod.

(I probably should show English version of the game but this screenshot wasn't planned for the forum.)

This title is an art. It's subversive poetry without rhymes and you cannot suppress it!

Btw, I've found another funny side-effect of a long name. I'm not sure if this count as a bug but it looks bizarre.

So I've made a mod with reasonable and absolutely legal name of 277 characters and there are a few problems with the game interface: 1) In the "Mods" menu, when you select the mod on the list, you cannot see the entire name on the right. (Not that big a deal but it would be nice it there w...

There is a series of drop-down lists in my mod settings, each containing the same allowed_values . I know I can do localize them like this: [string-mod-setting] my-mod-setting1-value1=Locale 1 my-mod-setting1-value2=Locale 2 # more values... (imagine 4 more lines here) my-mod-setting1-value7=Locale ...

But then kovarex was playing and really really wanted to just copy and flip his train unloading setup (just your typical Inserters, chests, and belts). So he decided to just add it, and prevented the flip problems by just disallowing flipping blueprints that wouldn't flip properly. Nice to know tha...

I have the same problem. It may help that my save file is really small because I made it in the map editor only to create a picture for my mod and I didn't move the character from the spawn. Yeah, there is a mod there but I don't think it changes much. The mod replaces textures and the only thing i...

The rocket at the bottom of the page is great

@Raiguard It would probably work but it would increase amount of code an order of magnitude. (Multiplayer and keeping track of things like: which player to clear, is the event already registered, is the event ready to be unregistered.) Beside I can imagine that this would do a number on any mod that...

Well, of course "run after all other mods" won't do that if there are more mods which request it. What about we call it "put it after all mods which didn't specify this option unless some dependency specify otherwise" instead. Although, I don't think we have to go as far as creat...

It seems like there is currently no good way to do that.
Could some mod move this topic to modding interface requests?

This could also be helpful while designing intersections and such.

If you like it dirty just call your mod zzz_[modname].
The zzz loads it at a very least position. No garanty to be the last one but worth the try.

According to this topic my mod would still load near the beginning because it has no dependencies.

I've created a very simple mod that removes all items that are given to a player on respawn. script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_respawned, function(event) local player = game.players[event.player_index] if player.character then player.character.clear_items_inside() end end) The problem is that...
