Character Shooting Cooldown
I'd like a way to access the current shooting cooldown of a character, i.e. the current time until the character can shoot again, during control stage. Read and write. I've made a mod that allows the player to jump, which works by replacing the character entity (for collision, belt immunity, renderi...

Replay Saving on Headless
I'd like to create a save with replay enabled using headless. I'm unable to do this with the --create command line parameter as there is no documented way to enable replay saving. We're playing multiplayer speedruns and due to performance/network reasons headless seems to be best way for us to play ...

Re: Tower Defense Scenario [beta]
Edit: If you are asking this in 2020, you are probably asking about the version of the map that ZwerOxotnik converted to 0.18. Which I tested just now. The changes to the tech tree in 0.17 and 0.18 broke some stuff on the map which the ZwerOxotnik did not fix, so you might want to stay away from tha...

Tooltip text descriptions for more entities
TL;DR Give more entities a short description text in their tooltips. What ? This came up recently when I was playing with people that were very new to the game. They found the tooltips for the first few items quite useful, in particular for figuring out power and complained that they didn't extend ...

Re: Friday Facts #266 - Cleanup of mechanics
I like the direction of these changes. Obviously factorio is a complex game but these changes mostly dont take away from the main complexity and instead allow players to put more focus on those and just remove distractions. I do not watch people like AntiElitz play because they are so good at calcul...

Re: Friday Facts #254 - No research queue for you
From my first playthrough, even without research queue new recipes are overlooked. if this is a priority then some other solution is needed, e.g. highlight newly unlocked recipes. The tech tree is too bloated. There's stuff like laser or flight that doesn't do anything. There's so many tiers of dama...

Re: Allow artillery_range_modifier between -1 and 0
You can make the range smaller with a modifier value between 0 (=no range) and 1 (=current range).. not with values from -1 to 0.. Greetings Lovely_santa https://i.imgur.com/HP4EPnx.png Setting the value to 0 gives it default range, setting it to 1 gives double range. Same as with all modifier valu...

Re: Joined game, was paused for me host could move
One error source is the following: The function story_show_message_dialog in lualib/story.lua appears to check for player count where it should check for wether the game is in multiplayer mode, because the check for wether the game is in multiplayer was added only recently. Until that is fixed, here...

Re: [0.16.36] Sprite Path from file not working
The alien artifact icon is in base but only as an image file, not an item, which is why I was looking at file sprite paths in the first place. Since I am working with a scenario I'll look into how the tutorials are doing this.

[0.16.36] Sprite Path from file not working
According to the documentation on sprite paths it is possible to load sprite files from base. I cannot get this to work in sprite buttons. As a minimal example, the following two commands create a button, however it is invisible although the file exists in the base mod. /c game.player.gui.top.add{ty...

Allow artillery_range_modifier between -1 and 0
For the scenario I'm working on I would like to decrease the range of the artillery turret without adding or changing prototypes. Since the artillery range modifier already exists for forces, can negative values greater than -1 be allowed?

Factorio Tower Defense Scenario This is factorio in a tower defense style scenario. I'm still working on it but it's playable and hopefully enjoyable. It was intended as a campaign level as you might find in other RTS games. As a result it is faster paced than sandbox mode and the factorio campaign...

Re: ability to clone cliffs
You can pass the cliff orientation to create_entity, though I agree this should be documented in the api. Example:
Code: Select all
/c game.player.surface.create_entity{name="cliff", position=game.player.position, cliff_orientation = "north-to-south"}
