Mod updated for 0.17 with some bug fixes.

Fixed it. It was a simple mistake on my behalf. In the recipes I had put quotes around the item amounts, which makes them strings. Factorio itself doesn't seem to care and makes an implicit cast to number, but it caused bob's to throw an error.
Implicit cast to number sounds like a worthy bug ...

I uploaded 0.0.10 with a fix to the mod portal, it ...

I'll look into it, thanks for the report!

New version released, re-implementing that the harvesters start cutting down trees closest to themselves and work their way out. And fixed the sorting, so now it's in the proper subcategory.

Had to quickly release another version after that because I discovered a bug when adding the mod to a save ...

Wood Harvester

Description: Adds a simple machine for automatic harvesting of forests into raw wood

My first attempt at modding Factorio, sprung from starting a new game and ending up with a tiny patch of coal in my starting area, but completely surrounded by forest. Harvesting wood by hand in ...

Also there's a built-in module called "util" so you might want to use a different name in the future to avoid confusion.

Hm..also removed the "harvest closest trees first". The only beauty function i added to the original, because i thought it looked/felt really meh if it starts in some far away ...

Now with working migrations scripts too!

Ok I got it the way I want it now, through a kludge.

I added a new "Timber" item. If the tree has raw wood, the assembler will add the same amount of timber and destroy the tree, but only if there's less than 5 units of timber in the machine already. It then has a fixed recipe that makes 1 raw wood ...

It's doing boolean comparison, which always ends in "if true == false". Adding brackets works, as does inequality:
Define "doesn't work". I didn't use can_insert() because that can't check multiple items at once. And a mod can add additional results, like a tree that drops wood and seeds. Also i ...

I found another bug, the check to see if inventory is full doesn't work. I replaced that code with a call to can_insert() instead.

I've added an entity for a harvesting machine, extended from the container type. Is it possible to make a container require power? And is it possible to animate it and ...

I was bored and wrote a simple control.lua only demonstration. It makes wooden chests slowly chop up trees around themselfs (one every 5 seconds configurable). It doesn't do any caching at all. It also doesn't do circles because that would require fetching all trees around each, instead of just one ...

Anything's possible with scripts (:


Cache a list of trees around the building in on_built
Sort list by distance of each tree
Every few ticks catch the first (closest) tree from the list, kill it and put the wood into the machine

Thanks, this seems like a workable way to do it. Since trees ...

Is it possible to create a building that automatically harvests any tree around it? Like a mining drill except it affects a much larger area, removes trees within the affected area and outputs raw wood?

And before anyone says "just use bots" I'm picturing something early game that could be used as ...

After upgrading to Factorio 0.16.20 I've started getting this error whenever I build something using Nanobots. I don't know if it's an issue with Rampant or with Nanobots though. (I've posted in both threads). The message appears once for each item the bots build.


Error while running event ...

TL;DR
Make Assembling Machine 1 not suck. Instead of each tier of assembling machine obsoleting the previous, make each tier good at different things.


Problem
Currently this game about automating things doesn't really start until you've researched Automation 2, because that's when you can ...

Feature request: Wooden boat

It downloads the update, then I get the below error. Clicking OK exits the game.
