When the actual GUI widget is shown on screen, sure, it's just using the GPU texture. But when clicking the actual GUI widget, the appropriate mod is informed and has access to the string. Therefore, it is possible to achieve somehow. There is a connection between the actual GUI widget and the mod ...

I will admit that getting the sprite and converting it to a signal is a bit of a hack , but it's a hack worth making in my opinion. When the sprite path begins with "item/", or "fluid/", etc. then you DO know which the underlying game prototype is.

A choose-elem-button is either clickable and opens ...

Oh damn, sorry. I didn't consider the possibility that it was added so recently.

There are two ways to set a player's cursor:

LuaPlayer.cursor_stack.set_stack and LuaPlayer.pipette_entity

Neither of these allows the possibility to set the player cursor to a fluid or a virtual signal, but the player can do so themselves if e.g. pipetting a signal in a constant combinator, or ...

A lot of mods use LuaGuiElements which are sprite-buttons or choose-elem-buttons to display items, fluids, signals, etc.

It would be very handy for a player to be able to pipette any of those buttons to set their cursor to that item, fluid, or virtual-signal.

The docs state that the 'sprite-button' GuiElement can take 'quality' parameter.

However, this does not work at all.

Try the command:
/c game.player.gui.screen.add({ type = "sprite-button", sprite = "item/iron-ore", quality = "legendary" })

Expected result: A legendary sprite-button
Actual ...

The documentation for DeciderCombinatorCondition and DeciderCombinatorOutput are currently empty.

Feels like something is missing there

As the original trailer ended with launching a rocket, it would have been so cool if this trailer started with the same identical factory as the original trailer had.

Anyway, I'm very much looking forward to start playing it!

Code for reproducing here: https://github.com/Zomis/FactorioMods/tree/bug-splitter-not-pastable/copy-paste-recipe-signals_1.5.0

I did reproduce this bug with 1.1.107 with *only* this mod installed to make sure there's no conflict with other mods.

It does show up in the prototype inspector as being ...

Something I find myself doing a lot is to search for the same item/fluid in different menus over and over again. This is something I have tried to improve in my mod Foofle and I'm using those features very frequently, but there's a big limitation on the amount of integrations I can do in a mod.

For ...

Most of this sounds great, but I'd also like to request some other features:

Have the possibility for mods to add content to a Factoriopedia page, for example a button that links to a search mod to search for this item.

Or add content to the Factoriopedia page about how many of that item has been ...

Something that is currently very difficult, and requires O(log n) time, is to take the maximum or minimum value from a circuit. So that would be a great fit for the selector. "Select maximum value(s)" + "Select minimum value(s)"

Average value is currently easy to do with combinators, but max/min is ...

Press E instead of Enter? most dialog use E


Yes, E works. But the big problem here is that based on things that was done before, a save was loaded when the "Delete" button was pressed - which should not happen .

The same bug happens if you click on a save, press "Delete" -> "Enter" -> "E"

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaGuiElement.html

"flow": An invisible container that lays out its children either horizontally or vertically. The root GUI elements (top, left, center and screen; see LuaGui) are flows.

"empty-widget": An empty element that just exists. The root GUI element ...

How to reproduce:

- Go to load game
- Select a save in the left list
- Press "Delete" on keyboard, a window will pop up and ask you if you want to delete the save
- Press "Enter" on keyboard, nothing happens (Expected behavior: Save would be deleted)
- Use the mouse to click "Delete"

Now two ...

I don't want to complain too much because Factorio is already an awesome game, but... Feature-complete when you can't see your own characters exact HP/MaxHP? I think there is still a few things you can add before you call it feature-complete.

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/index.html says it's "0.18.47" in the top-right corner.

And I don't think it's a caching problem on my side, I have tried all tips shown in https://xkcd.com/1854/ , and I have also tried using a private browsing window.

Huh, it appears that you are right. Forum is not showing the correct time for me it seems. Anyway, I didn't have any problem at all downloading it just a few minutes after 11:00.

You posted this on 10:28 am but 1.0.0 was released at 11:00 am. You must learn patience.

Try again now.

TL;DR
There should be a way to view the exact numeric HP value of your own character (not just the HP bar that shows up when you are damaged)


What ?
When playing Factorio in Multiplayer you can easily see how much HP others have (e.g. "135/350") by hovering over them. This is not possible to ...
