Which data do you need to store?

I need to be able to store my custom table data in an entity/blueprint so that my mod has blueprint support

Your data combinator must: 1. Be invisible 2. Be auto-built every time your UsefulCombinator is built Then every time a UsefulCombinator is placed, it looks for a nearby data combinator and reads the settings. See https://mods.factorio.com/mods/NiftyManiac/StickyNotes for an example of how to do it...

What do you mean?

DaveMcW wrote:constant-combinator signals are the best way. You can increase the number of slots if 18 is not enough.

That's the problem... My mod is UsefulCombinators, I need only enough for outputs and I use GUIs to input data. The mod itself uses Constant Combinators as a base entity

I would love to see what mod developers can do being able to add custom data attached to blueprints/entities. I request this as I am in need of it myself. I want to be able to attach custom data to an entity so that it may be used for blueprints to set the data after robots build the ghost entities

I have a mod that I need to have support for blueprints but I need to store custom data in the blueprint without using signals as the storage. Is there such a solution to my problem?

Yes, electric_network_statistics does not give the correct info and electric_emissions does not work

I want to get how much energy a power network is producing from a power pole, is this even possible?

Interesting...

Do you plan on visual gui creation/editing like in visual studio?

Mostly the pollution I produce in Factorio... Probably not a good idea though...

Hello World! Today I would like to introduce a mod I've made; By itself, it does little to nothing. My mod is meant to be a dependency for other mods that rely on my code. What my mod does is add a gui that allows player input for custom commands made available by other mod developers. By default, t...
