[0.17.4] Compilatron out of view (when suggesting wooden chest)

In "Mining Automation" objective, after placing a Burner mining drill onto coal, I have to place a wooden chest to mine more than 1 coal. However I was zoomed on the coal spot and did not see the Compilatron suggesting to craft a wooden chest (it was near top of the trees) => if I didn't k...

Re: [0.16.31] Issues with belt compression

The math states that I should need 47 stone furnaces to fill a red belt of plate.. Do you mean 26.66/s divided by 0.57/s, so ~46.77 of Steel furnaces (it would be 96 stone furnaces)? So 48 can't work full time even with 100% speed of consumption without delays or blocks.. Even if it could be worse ...

Re: Control movement with mouse

Disabilities inhibiting keyboard use and rebinding a mouse to use WSAD is really ineffective. If you use AutoHotKey , I created edge_scrolling.ahk - Edge Scrolling mode is enabled by pressing 4th mouse button (feel free to customize), sensitive up to 20% of window size away from the edges, displayi...

While the wiki is very good, I also made a tool for myself for this purpose - currently only supporting base game content normal recipes: http://peter.hozak.info/recipe_explorer/, but if I move on from playing vanilla to mods, I plan to extend the tool to include modded recipes + include ratios for ...

I am also exporting the current state of technology research and I hoped to have it all in 1 place, but I guess I could combine exports from multiple stages, thanks for the reminder.

Re: Simple property requests (something that exists but has no way to read/write it)

Having read access to the icon data provides nothing useful runtime. You can't do anything with that data. To export the correct value after the enabled mods are applied - like http://aprillion.github.io/recipe_explorer/#accumulator but html page inside scripts_output/ directory - which is currentl...

.icon is listed on 1st page of this thread, some problem implementing please?

I wanted to export icon path or at least filename for an external tool, e.g. when mods modify or add icons, but also in the base mod some icons do not match item name (acumulator.png vs name=accumulator)...

Re: Req: Help needed to update Factorio Planner

turns out you just need to filter game.entity_prototypes table to extract items with non-nil crafting_categories property. if it helps, this is how I modified my own lua script to do that: https://github.com/Aprillion/recipe_explorer/commit/0e76c0cfa64c6d474c90869c61f8e354acf21ec0#diff-d63af121aacf5...

As I said, no code yet, I only downloaded https://wiki.factorio.com/Data.raw for research. But I plan to work on it today evening (Prague time zone) if you feel like playing some Factorio before working on your mod :)

I was experimenting with JSON export from Factorio for a Recipe explorer - but there was no interest on https://forums.factorio.com/56555 so I didn't continue with it, I only have a console command, not a mod yet. You can look at dump_json.lua which is parsing game.player.force.recipes (and technolo...
