What
When adding a new space platform I'd like the option to select a blueprint with 1 space platform hub in it.

Why
When pasting the blueprint of an existing rocket on a newly launched platform it might not fit in the explored line of sight.
This will result in having to paste it possibly ...

TL;DR
Add nutrients to output signal of biochamber.
What?
When connecting a biochamber and setting "Read contents" true in "Circuit connection" also add "nutrients" to the output signals.
Why?
I expected it to be there. It would allow me to setup logic if nutrients are running too low for some ...

Using cache doesn't seem to realize the effect I like, probably because my biters start very close to each other so not sure if there are settings that can fix that (or if I just need to spawn them better somehow).
I attached two files for visualization.
Flags are:

AtoB is just 1 ...

I'm trying to make a mod in which I want biters to move in very specific paths.
Giving 3 biters a set_command to move from point A1,A2,A3 to B1,B2,B3 will usually result in 1 and 3 going to A2, all of them moving to B2 and then splitting up.
Which is way too smart for what I want to achieve. I'm ...

Thanks for the help. These look like excellent starting point.
It's not so much that I want to do a new pathfinding every frame but rather pass along a predetermined path at the moment of creation.
Probably mostly simple paths like lines, circles, ...
So I think it shouldn't be too much of an extra ...

Hi
I have a mod idea to add a new dimension to enemies and I might want to learn the modding api for it.
Before diving in to some guides I first wanted to do a general check whether what I wanted to do is possible.
- I want to add a new enemy
- trigger certain events based on how much health the ...

Version doesn't really matter that much.
Sorry if this info is obvious/can be easily found somewhere
I'm not really familiar with the API and wouldn't write it as a mod but a seperate tool, probably in c++.
Can you use the api to print this data to a file?

I want to try to create a tool that can
given a request for x resources/min
create the graph that would result in those resources.
I have some ideas how I can do this optimally but I was wondering if there is easily parsable info on
all items
their recipe
their crafting time

troughput of belts and ...

Thank you for the warm welcome and the warning.
I don't want to setup any expectations since I have no experience with either modding or lua but I have some ideas that I'd like to try and mainly have fun learning everything.


Have you got an empty mod template set up, ready to start?

I am gonna ...

Hi all

I want to get into factorio modding because I would like to write an AI player for factorio.
A quick google search didn't bring me to any active projects but I didn't really investigated it that thoroughly.

I know it might be too big too start with but I have quite some experience ...

I'm not seeing any notifications in my job queue.
I should've overloaded that for sure but I think it's not showing up since the track was not near a roboport.
My other guess is your personal robots just check all unasigned tasks on the map in a loop for all items and not the most nearby first ...

First bug report so apologies for any incompleteness on my end.

Okay so I built a really long track around my center lake using the ghost build modus, it got a bit slow when it became too long but if I placed my tracks fast enough it worked perfectly.

Now I'm going around a second time with a ...
