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 ...

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: CodeFlags.png AtoB is just 1 comma...

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 abl...

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 ene...

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 i...

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 start...

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 programming...

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 which...

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 diesel...
