Very cool! I like the music and the detailed look at some beautiful factories. That massive asteroid smashing into the space platform is fun to watch!

THANK YOU! I love these changes. The little graphical details on the belts is such a nice little touch, and the fact that you iterated through multiple different versions of the logistics gui shows that Factorio is a true labour of love. I would suggest adding a highlight to every network in the lis...

I have encountered a show-stopper for a mod which requires the ability to draw multiple lines of text on the screen, anchored to an entity, and with scale_with_zoom enabled. Since text objects ignore line breaks, the only way to do multi-line text (anchored to an entity) is to create multiple object...

I agree, that would be very useful.

I found how to get the highest index at least: LuaEntity::request_slot_count

LuaControl::get_personal_logistic_slot(slot_index) takes an index to get a single personal logistic slot. Is there a way to get all of the personal logistic filters without guessing slot indices? (since there can be arbitrary gaps due to deleted filters)

Please add a way to create GUIs that are visible only when:

• the map is not opened, and/or
• the map is opened and zoomed out, and/or
• the map is opened and zoomed in to world view

Basically like player.gui.screen but limited to one or two of those contexts.

+1 searching underbarred API names is impossible!

+1 for streamlining the blueprint APIs and making more stuff like this easy/possible!

Thanks for the detailed write-up.

I have found a way to track the rotation of blueprints by defining two new shortcuts using linked_game_control and then listening to the CustomInputEvent for those shortcuts. It allows me to get the rotation without the blueprint needing to be placed in the world. data.lua looks something like this:...

When holding a blueprint book of any kind, right click now brings up a table of contents, separated by book (if applicable) that shows the blueprints that it contains. Clicking any blueprint will instantly jump to that blueprint in the book. Clicking a sub-book will jump to the start of that book. ...

My bad, thank you!

+1 This would be great to have for my mod.

LuaEntity::connected_rail should work for rail signals too, not just train stops.

I would like to connect two distant rail pieces by rail, avoiding obstacles along the way like the built-in rail planner already available to players. Since the functionality already exists, I expected it to also be available to scripts. Please add a function that takes two rail pieces or positions ...

+1 for clarifying "optional dependencies" as cross-promotional suggestions, +1 for autoremove, +1 for reverse dependency lookup on mod portal.

there are no other sources where it could come from.

I don't agree with the OP's rationale. The idea that you could cut an unlimited amount of gear wheels out of a single iron plate is preposterous. 300% productivity is already very generous.

There is a "Back" button and normally pressing Escape is a shortcut for it, but in the Sync mods with save dialog the Escape key doesn't do anything.

A special button would work for most use cases, but wouldn't always be ideal. For example, if I wanted to make an "Export Area" tool, it should simply let me draw a rectangle and copy what is found in that area to my clipboard. A console command should also not require extra cursor motion ...
