If BaseAttackParameters → activation_type is not defined, the default appears to be "shot" rather than "shoot".

This means the item tooltip shows Unknown key: "tooltip-category.shot"

TL;DR
"Website" purchase of Space Age was frustrating

What ?
Ideally: automate "Factorio website" purchase so I don't need to be logging into 3rd party websites with unspecified login credentials
Minimally: Indicate on https://factorio.com/buy-space-age that:

you will actually be buying from ...

I have a powershell script to launch Factorio on Win10.
pwsh -FilePath Factorio.ps1
The script finishes with the launch command...
$process = (Start-Process -FilePath C:\Factorio\bin\x64\Factorio.exe)

I've used the above command for years now, but since I recently started Factorio-ising again ...

Why is it inconsistent though?
vs Please can we have empty flags in JSON dump as follows?

Has the furnace LuaEntity.html#previous_recipe functionality changed?

I thought it used to show the previously crafted recipe even if it was the same as the currently crafted recipe from LuaEntity.html#get_recipe . EG: after each craft of a copper-plate, the previous_recipe would update to copper ...

I would like the pipe prototype's horizontal_window_bounding_box & vertical_window_bounding_box on the storage-tank prototype so I can make asymmetrical storage tanks with an off-centre fluid window.

As it stands, the storage-tank prototype only has window_bounding_box.

Is there a programmatic way to change the size of the tile building area (numpad+/- functionality)?

Implemented Factorio v1.1.77 :
Added a command line flag (dump-data) to dump data-raw to the script output folder as json.
Added a command line flag (dump-icon-sprites) to dump prototype icons to the script output folder.
Added a command line flag (dump-prototype-locale) to dump prototype locale to ...

Thanks. No easy answer so will rethink!

Cheers.

Is there an event when the filter is changed on a filter inserter or splitter?

What about events for change to splitter filter, combinator configuration or inserter pickup/drop location?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Agreed - I was just trial & erroring since the docs on what the various properties do are a quite... streamlined

I'm talking specifically about the filters...

EG: For normal select I can specify entity_type_filters so the selection-tool will only select wooden-chests...
entity_type_filters = { "wooden-chest"}

Similarly there is alt_entity_type_filters to restrict what the selection-tool will select when ...

Prototype/Animation.layers documentation was copy/pasta from Types/Animation.layers and doesn't really make sense here.
layers
Type: table of Animation
If this property is present, all Animation definitions have to be placed as entries in the array, and they will all be loaded from there. Each ...

RE: FluidStream.particle_buffer_size prototype documentation... the value must be greater than zero! So...
0 < particle_buffer_size < 256

Also: It appears this setting determines the number of spawned children of the stream... could this be documented please?

-> Thank you Honktown for adding ...

Setting FluidStream.particle_buffer_size = 0 causes a crash when trying to surface.create_entity() the stream.

LuaSurface.create_entity documentation doesn't have advice for "stream" type entities.

It appears to be the same requirements as type "beam", but it would be nice to be sure.

-> Mostly similar, yep, thanks. Added for 1.1.70.

Selection tools have 3 events:

Normal select (left-drag)
on_player_selected_area

Alt select (default shift-left-drag) - vanilla use is to cancel upgrades, deconstruction etc.
on_player_alt_selected_area

Reverse select (default right-drag) - vanilla use is to downgrade with the upgrade planner ...

Prototype/SelectionTool has
entity_filters
alt_entity_filters

entity_type_filters
alt_entity_type_filters

but no reverse_entity_filters or reverse_entity_type_filters.

"reverse" can't help it they are a little bit backward - they still deserve some filter love? please?

You inspired me to have a look at Space Exploration next run thanks.

RE: Graphics of Bob's mod... Kirazy has done good work with Artisanal Reskins: Bob's Mods that brings HD graphics including more distinct icons and entities and more consistency.

What is LuaSurface.regenerate_entity() actually supposed to do?

I was hoping it would create "natural" patches of ore for me like at map generation time. Does it only work on un-revealed chunks?

I've run the following code dozens of times - the first two calls hang Factorio for a few seconds, but ...
