Hovering over an item in the crafting panel should highlight the item in your logistics requests area too

TLDR:
Hovering over an item in the crafting panel should highlight the item in your logistics requests area too

What?
Currently when you hover your cursor over an item in the crafting panel, if you have any of that item in your inventory, then it will highlight and flash that item so you can find ...

Viewing very old saves?

Is there any way to play (or at the very least view) very old saves from before version 1.0 released? Specifically I have a map from 8 years ago, version 0.14.21-0, my first ever save, and I would like to see it again. Even just some sort of online map viewing tool or something would be sufficient ...

[MOD] Wider Inventory and Chests

I'm surprised it didn't exist already.
edit: it does :(

Anyway, this mod widens your inventory and chests (they're the same variable) to a configurable width (default 15) in case your modded inventory gets so large you have to scroll to see it all.

Re: How to read the available power in a given pole's network?

I saw that in the API. As far as I can tell, it is no help. This is what I eventually came up with. It's not guaranteed but it should be accurate in like 99% of cases.

local function is_pole_probably_powered(pole)
local stats = pole.electric_network_statistics
if not stats then return false end ...

How to read the available power in a given pole's network?

I've already figured out how to scan for the nearest power pole to the player, but I can not for the life of me figure out how to get an actual power value from it. I don't see anything about it in the API or anywhere. Please tell me this isn't inaccessible engine level code?

Please give us some Lua hooks for the radars

I would like the ability to read_scan_progress (and ideally set_scan_progress as well), read_target_sector , set_target_sector , and read_max_range for a mod idea that I have that I believe players would appreciate: manually setting the radar's next sector to scan to a point that you click on the ...

I'm working on a mod that creates new armor equipment, but the item that gets created cannot be inserted into the equipment grid no matter what I try. I even tried again with an ultra basic, bare-bones mod, and still couldn't do it, so clearly I am missing something here. Attached is my barebones ...

Re: Progressive Running 2.0

Core logic has been completely refactored to be more flexible and robust, should be compatible with more mods now. Any that aren't, it will need a specific patch for, like I added for RPG System.

[2.0.60] Can place the wrong item in a filtered inventory slot from within the train fuel menu.

Open your inventory. Set any filter in any slot. Try to place the wrong item in that slot and get the error as expected. Open a train's GUI and go to the fuel tab, then try to place an item in that slot and it should let you place the item without raising an error.

The game was heavily modded but ...
