TL;DR
Add option to search through installed mods


What ?
Add button to search mods when browsing installed mods. Like when you downloading new mods.

Why ?
When you have installed dozens of mods and want to enable/disable some then it takes to find them. We need that time because the factory ...

Much better now.

So every prototype had some order letter and then based of that letter it is alphabrtical order. Thanks for explanation. I think that is better than what is on wiki because wiki says nothing.


Overall, this results in an alphabetical order.


I'm sorry if I'm being dense, but how is what I ...

I dont know if I am stupid but I dont get it.
He's saying that the order string is just "a string". There's nothing special about it. Neither the letters nor the brackets or hypens have any special meaning whatsoever.

aaa
aab
aab-[aaa]
aab-[aab]

So if you want to be last in the order you have ...

The order property is a simple string. When the game compares 2 like prototypes if the order strings aren't equal they're lexicographically compared to determine if a given prototype comes before or after another. Overall, this results in an alphabetical order.

I want to display my item-group last but I dont understand how order works. How is it done? Whats the a, b, ... letters?

Yeah darkfrei mentioned it

Whooohoo. I had it working fine with lot of events but thats a lot easier thanks.
Can you show some examples?
Code? Or finished chest? For code i just grabbed steel-chest prototype modified picture and added one property to it.

Edit: ohh you meant my old code. I will try to get it back because i ...

Thanks, but its strange that buffer does not contain items from inventory

I am creating infinite chest and I dont want to get items that are in chest when destroyed. I am using defines.events.on_player_mined_entity but that buffer inventory only contains chest itself and I cannot clear items that was in chest.

It is an objective in one of tutorial missions. Plane can not be actually used. If I remember right, the mission ends successfully when you get that item but it does not exist in next mission. Recipe is not used in sandbox game.
Ok I never played that tutorial missions. I was thinking plane is ...

I am creating mod similar to helmod but in recipes I found this:

What is small plane? I am missing something?

although that works, it is incomplete, because it doesn't take into account player entities added by other mods (such as my bobclasses), or the god controller.

instead, you should iterate through all data.raw.player entities, and add your new category.

a function that does what you need that you ...

This is normal. you'll probably notice things like oil processing and stuff made in chemical plants also appears on the crafting menu, even though they specifically need to be made in the oil refinery and chemical plant.

I created custom recipe category and then assigned it to my recipes and a custom assembling machine. My custom assembling machine are only showing recipes from this category and normal assembling machine is not showing my recipe category, this it good. But player inventory is showing recipes for my ...

It's poor but working good.

EDIT: I mean your better design, not this.
