For modders using vscode's EmmyLua extension while modding (which I highly recommend), I parsed an annotation file for the Factorio Lua API. Thought I would share it for other modders to use if they wanted. Note that this definition file integrates truly with EmmyLua (unlike the Factorio API vscode ...

Hi everybody! I'm the developer of the mod in question. Well, sort of anyway. I believe the mod in question is the (unofficially) deprecated version that a fan posted as a quick 0.18 update (link here) . I had been inactive for a while at the time, so they posted an update while waiting for the offi...

Hm yeah I've noticed really long load times in 0.17 as well, but only when updating/changing mods. After saving the first time loading goes back to normal. I'll take another look but I have yet to see what's causing the issue. Unfortunately I'm tied up this week and don't have much time to work on i...

I've just added this mod to my current save, or at least attempted to. I am getting an error on save load that is as follows. Error while applying migration: Ammo Loader+:v16_23.lua __ammo-loader__/migrations/v16_23.lua:5:attempt to index field 'ammo-loader-tech-ammo1' (a nil value) I suspect it is...

That's a strange one. It's probably due to the way the mod handles the global table disagreeing with Factorio's savegame serialization.

I just released a new version that's a much cleaner rewrite, so I would try upgrading first to see if that helps.

What role do you want to play when you work together? I'd be most helpful on the coding side of things. I have experience in Lua (and server coding if it comes to that), am familiar with the factorio API, and have a good understanding of data model implementation and code organization. I won't be m...

How's the playable biter mod coming along? I'd be happy to pitch in if you still need help (assuming you're still doing it).

Best gameplay-changing mods? Hi there. Firstly I believe this post is in the wrong subforum, it should be here . As for your question, RSO is the most obvious mod that matches all your criteria. It changes the game in a subtle way but still manages to affect gameplay significantly. If Bob's and Ang...

I found more bugs i think: :D Awesome, I really appreciate your help with improving the mod. There is a new version out now that should address these issues. Bug 1: If you set the "Max items per slot" to something bigger than the maximum stack size of the item and max items per inventory ...

I placed down a fuel loader chest, dropped some fuel in it and the game crashed with the following message: Ok, there's a new version out that should hopefully fix the issue. I was never able to reproduce the problem on my end, but I think I identified the missing nil check, so hopefully that fixes...

Damn and I thought everything seemed pretty stable. Regardless, thanks for taking the time to report the bug.

I'll see if I can take a look at it when I get off work. Most likely there's a nil check missing before I check if an entity has a burner inventory.

Automated Ammo and Fuel Loader Mod Description: Less turret logistics, more dead aliens. This mod adds chests to automatically fill turrets and vehicles with ammo/fuel. Details: Name: ammo-loader Latest Release: 0.16.23, May 4, 2018 Factorio Version: 0.16 Download: Mod Portal License: GNU GPL v3 wi...

Tiers are determined by maximum length before my mod applies the configured changes. So if you, for example, have a mod that defines lowend underground belts shorter than yellow, they would become tier 1 and yellow/red/blue would become tier 2/3/4 (all subterranean underground belts would then be t...

Excellent mod, already don't know how I lived without it. A couple of things to note. First is that the actual values of each tier of belt's max distance seems to correspond to the tier above it. E.g., if my settings look like this: UG belt - tier 1: 10 UG belt - tier 2: 20 UG belt - tier 3: 30 The ...

Wow. Thanks a lot, that will be way easier :lol: . I've run multiple clients before while modding but it never even occurred to me that I could MP between them. This will make the whole process a lot faster. Thanks for the advice as well. I have tons of local variables because my experience in other...

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of creating a Mod Manager of sorts that will allow users to activate/deactivate mods quickly to switch between servers or single player games as they wish. I know there is an older Modpack Manager that still works, but this program will have the specific use of s...

Hi, I recently received a request on my mod page to make it multiplayer compatible. However, I have no way to bugtest my code changes as I have no friends (sad but true). I'm looking for anyone who might be willing to join a server with me for the sole purpose of bugtesting. This will probably mean ...
