The best way is to find a vanilla entity that can be modified to do what you need. If that is not possible, you will have to write a script and run it in on_tick or on_nth_tick. In that case, make sure to keep what you are doing to a minimum. Calling find_entities_filtered on every tick will quickl...

How do I look at vanilla entities? "data/core" and "data/base" doesn't have a radar script.

I just looked at Bob's warfare and Big Brother, and both mods seem to just use/modify the vanilla functionality of the radar, which I can't use since my structure I'm making is not going to the same thing as a radar.

So I have a structure which is supposed to do something every X amount of time/ticks, similar to how radars works (but faster). since this is the first time I worked with anything like this, I have no idea how to do it. Edit: I figured out how to use on_tick and find_entities_filtered to do what I w...

Is there an event, or some other way to see if the player is looking at the map?

For about two hours I been attempting to create my second mod, and I'm currently struggling with getting the settings to work. I keep getting an error when it says settings.global is nil, and I have no idea why. I been digging around in other mods I use, and they don't have the same issue. data.lua ...

I love that the laser turrets gets beams, that have been bothering me a while. But I'm not really a fan of the new base for them, I feel like it's a half finished base, or it's for something else. But they decided to just slap a laser on top of it last minute.

I love this mod, and since it hasn't been updated to 0.13 yet, I decided to take a look at it, and I managed to get it to work. I haven't tested everything, so I'm not sure if there is any issues. But the solar panels and accumulators does generate and store power. Since I'm not sure if I'm allowed ...

With a constant combinator set to fake item -20k or so and my inventory sensor you can easily set up inverted filters where they will unload all except those fake items. I can? I never used the logic network, outside the very basics... probably need to look into it Is an updated version, compatible...

Note: Inserters can remove the used fake items from the railtanker, so be sure to not have inserters at a station where a railtanker might stop! Currently there is no way around it So that's why it's happening, then sadly this kills the mod for me, since I have relied on the fact that inserters won...
