Thanks, noted on original post.

If you rename "data.lua" to "data-final-fixes.lua" it should run after other mods run their data.lua file, making it compatible with all mods that add trees. Doesn't seem to work in V13... Sorry it's been such a long time since I updated this mod. Finally updated the original po...

Thanks for the tip, it has helped a lot. Also, for same reason my game is only at 0.11.22, yet I have optional/experimental updates enabled. How do I update it to 0.12.5? Start up Factorio, then on the first menu click on "About." then click "Check for updates." That should get ...

Individually, we might feel a pang of disappointment. But I can't imagine how it must feel making the decisions that you know are going to disappoint thousands of people. That being said, there must be good reasons for the postponement, so I for one am with you guys! Congratulations on the wedding! ...

Noe that this mod does mess with trees that are near train rails. Trains are often giving me the no path error. Be sure to shotgun / deconstruct the trees / use FARL when you are placing rails. Thanks for the observation, Talguy. I don't think there's an easy way to work around this issue. So, yeah...

Hey everyone, I added an alternative download (v0.3) which includes the original mod (v0.2) with the addition of lowering the tree max health to 1. Mining remains the same. This makes the early game easier to shoot the trees if you desire. One shot kill, as it were. Finally a real use for that pea s...

Loving the feedback, thanks guys!

This is awesome! I love these kind of mods that are really simple but fix big problems etc. Walking through forests (especially while being chased by biters) is a huge pin normally. So definitely using your mod! I am thinking of doing a mod spotlight on it, if you don't mind. :) Love your vids Xter...

"dependencies": ["base","? Cursed-Exp"]

And nice mod.

Thank you! I thought there might be a way to do that. Works perfectly. Cursed-Exp added.

Code: Select all

for _,tree in pairs(data.raw["tree"]) do
	tree.collision_box = {{-0.05, -0.05}, {0.05, 0.05}}
end

Cool, I'll check that immediately, thanks!

Thanks! Original post edited for clarity regarding mining/shooting/poisoning/deconstruction.

I believe mining uses the selection box (which is unchanged), not the collision box. In any case I tested mining and it works the same as the unmodded trees.
Thanks for the question! All other questions/comments are welcome!

This very simple mod changes the collision box of trees to very small. Made to pass through dense forests very easily.

Beautiful. I actually bookmarked this topic!

If a player decided to craft by hand a regular bullet magazine, a shotgun shell, and a piercing shotgun shell, they would take a total of 2+7+20 = 29 seconds to complete.

@rk84 and @MeduSalem (et. al.) Hey guys! Beautiful looking setups! I am thoroughly intrigued! But I am more of a hands-on type of guy, so is there any way you could provide a save game for me (and others) to check these out? (If I would need mods installed that would be no problem, but that doesn't ...

Great vids! Keep 'em comin'!
(Lol, Fish )

Poll time! Should I de-merge Nickel ore from Galena and have 2 seperate ores, or keep it as it is, where Mining Galena gives both Nickel and Lead? I concur with the pro-sorters. I haven't actually dwelt into the intricacies of sorting, but I would really like to. Sure, I can look for a spot where, ...
