Thanks boskid. That makes sense. At least this one checks only when they build. The other solutions need to run constantly.

with luaplayer.get_alerts()? The mod needs check it every few seconds on all players for the alert that "a radar's 'far scan' might catch them at the right time if you're lucky".

Na. it's waste of compute cycles. Majority of the checks will be invalid.

Re: Expansion base built alert from https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-445

it would be nice if expansion base built alert also raise an event.

My use case is that when this event triggers, unit control sends a group of army to kill them.

I could do it by tracking build groups position and on ...

That's because the builder group happened to select only spitters.

Larger sized spitter can only build worms, meanwhile larger sized biters can only build spawners.

If the build group only contains biters, it would spawn only spawners without worms.

It's likely used for controlling each unit radius in an unit group.

Idk about data-stage cache. This is the first time I heard about it. I guess it's enabled by default in 2.1? If so, how do I disable it?

What did you do?
I noticed log() and print() stopped working in 2.1

What happened?
Debug message did not print during data stage. They work fine in control stage.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
print / log should work during data stage. It ...

I have seen the code where they used it. It's an unique case where I tried to use it and it seems made no difference. Hence a proper explanation from the devs would be appreciated.

I searched forum and discord, they returned no result. This seems to be an unknown territory to modders.

Is it feasible to allow mod to add new button into the side bar?

My use case is to use that button to control the custom draws on the map. It's used to show my air raid radar with its custom scan radius. Something like the following.

I assume this change may apply to ...

The attachment is a MVP mod that reproduced the issue.

Using "selection-tool" type with mouse left click is causing the issue. I extracted the code from the unit_control mod. :D

Reproduce steps:
1. Create a blueprint library with a few books
2. Install the MVP mod and relaunch the game
3. Try ...

Hi

Teleclast also report the issue on my chat. So I did some digging. Here is what I found so far.

This issue didn't exist in 2.0.66. I see the issue when the mod adds a custom input with mouse-button-1. I tried adding Shift or Alt. The action in blueprint library GUI still broken.

Here is the ...

No I did not explore the whole area. That call destroys the segment unit as well.

What did you do?
I was debugging a mod compatibility issue.

Oddly enough, it happens only when both ColonyBuilder and ERM_Terran mods are enable.

When I disable my ERM_Terran or ColonyBuilder, the game is fine.

What happened?
Factorio had an "Unexpected error occurred" crash. :D
