Just in case someone stumbles over this.
The solution is to add the following to the data.lua of your mod.

This works as expected, the whole surface filled with dirt-6

local newSurface = game.create_surface(surfaceName, {
starting_area = "none",
water = "none",
cliff_settings = { cliff_elevation_0 = 1024 },
default_enable_all_autoplace_controls = false,
autoplace_controls = autoplace_controls ...

Greetings from Diablo 3. They did that mistake back then too with the comic look for a supposedly dark world :D
I can live with it, but not a big fan either.

On the constructive side. If you can alter the look/colors on-the-fly for day/night you might also add another modifier for pollution, so the ...

I did not, yet, try to calculate them myself, but I think it would be rather expensive doing it lua side. ( https://wiki.factorio.com/Locomotive#Maximum_speed )
And since the game has to calculate those anyway for it's own speed change calculations I nurtured hope that it would be possible to get ...

Thank you

I would like the user to be able to click and drag around the hud in https://mods.factorio.com/mod/vehiclehud

The code would look somewhat like this:


local gui = player.gui.screen.add({
type = "empty-widget",
name = "vehiclehud"
})
...

local face = gui.add{
type = "sprite",
name ...

Since GUI:screen is any empty-widget and supports .location, would it be possible for other empty-widgets to support it as well?
That way you could have one container that can be placed anywhere on the screen, that contains other elements that are relative to the containers position.

Ideally empty ...

New events "on_connect_to_server_accept" and "on_connect_to_server_decline":

Called when the user accepts or declines the request to change servers.
Use-case:
In a future version people will be able to ride trains to other servers. For that a request to change servers will be issued after the ...

usecase: sync inventory after each (auto-) save in clusterio

Use case:
- show a minimap/camera and allow the player to click it, deducing what the player wanted to click on our own.
- allow an interactive clusterio node map that is clickable to get more info on nodes and/or connect to them.

Or add x/y offset to the on_gui_click event, so we can deduce what the player clicked ourselves

What is the worst case scenario after getting FORCED to reconnect to another factorio-server?

Attached the simplest one. The right stop had its Logistic connection activated and deactivated, is showing yellow lights (correct) but returns true for this:

Then I could (slowly) piece together the best path myself :p

The "Combine two rail dead ends" is the only one that I would say might break stuff. The rest looks possible to implement without breaking the ...

On that note I would also love to be able to "dock" my own custom stuff to other, even vanilla, "windows".

I would have thought that I requested this already too. But there is no thread to be found about it in my postings
Maybe it was only talked about it on discord.

Nice!
