Over 200 unique players have connected to the server, with thousands of blueprints now stored in the bank!

See my sign. You can find vanilla scenario with creative chests. You don't need to use mods with it.

Nice darkfrei. However some of the advanced magic wand options from the creative mode mod are not possible in a scenario format because they requires new entity types.

This server uses the same ...

Creative mode mod has some nice features, however my aim is to keep the server compatible with vanilla factorio.

Glad you liked the server!

When trying to build a new entity in a location that is not valid, like a furnace on top of belts, the game stops the player from building the object. I don't know if this concept really applies to on_pre or on_put_item events. However something like on_validate ...

a pre build event with the option to cancel the placement would be extremely useful for custom scenarios where you want to restrict where the player can build.

I'm currently do this with
script.on_event(defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event)
local player = game.players[event.player ...

This code will return fire and smoke entities when they are within the search area

local pos = entity.position
local size = 5
local area = {{pos.x -size, pos.y-size},{pos.x +size, pos.y+size}}
local flames = entity.surface.find_entities(area)
for _, f in pairs(flames) do
log(f.type)
end ...

I'm working on a modified version of the wave defense scenario. I would like show the map the start of the game. I was trying different variants of the chart functions and the only one I was able to get working was

script.on_init(function()

game.forces["player"].chart(game.surfaces[1 ...

This was discussed during the blueprint library development and the current implementation was decided on.

That means if you load a game anything in the blueprint storage that doesn't exist in the game is removed.

oh wow, that is a big ouch when you can lose hours, days, or weeks of work because ...

Working on a custom scenario, create game fails with

Error AppManager.cpp:421: Value must be a list or dictionary in property tree at ROOT

Can start the stock wave defense scenario no problem. Probably something wrong with my code, but can't figure out whats wrong by this error message.

Do the force bonuses

apply to bitters?

Working on a wave defense map and looking for more levers to tweak as the wave difficulty increases.

I think he is talking about clicking and dragging. I can attest to the major noise spam that happens when placing while rapidly dragging.

I've been looking for a way to spawn explosions on the map.

I've been able to spawn projectiles like this

After trying a few variations myself I checked with Process Monitor and it seems to only look into the user scenarios folder (%appdata%\Factorio\scenarios or with headless/zip wherever you extracted it to).

It will work correctly with your command line if you copy the wave-defense scenario from ...

but I keep getting
The scenario does not contain ...
