(Yes, I'm aware occasion mods fail to signal as well but those tend to get fixed quickly, and the entity.valid == true check is relatively expensive compared to the rest of the code - that one check is about 10% of its runtime according to the profiler). Not sure how you tested the performance of t...

You might be looking for the mod Ballistic Missile

Here is a mod that should do that

+1 My use case is in Biter Power I have turrets that shoots cages to capture biters. This is done with scripting for a few reasons and thus uses spill_item_stack. And if the player doesnt clean up enough the same problem as outlined above might arise. If 2.0 is used to change the function to accept ...

A small note to add, if this gets added to vanilla I think it's important that mods need to be able to add (and remove?) stats in the GUI. Some really cool things have already been added to Better Victory Screen by mods which I think will be really fun for the player to see in modded games.

Is that while printing it using serpent? Or logging it? Looks like a LuaObject, which can't be printed.

Of you show your code it would be easier to help.

If you want a tool with less bells and whistles you can try

Another little note, it's possible to set `currently_burning` to any fuel, regardless of the burner's fuel category.

Added note about this function only triggering the "Game Finished" screen the first time it's called, unless...

Also a thread mentioning this. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=85466

+1 To be able to see on the mod portal all mods that (optionally) depend on a mod. Even if it's only visible to the mod authors. A simple list of mods is fine. And maybe it's easiest if it only checks the latest version of said mods. My use case is that there are a few reports of players installing ...

I love the graphic for the Signal Writer! Very innovative way of using existing sprites. https://assets-mod.factorio.com/assets/2e2e6d2d4a0b8e06927fb9847dc1861e402eb61d.png What the main use case for this mod in your opinion? Maybe having multiple desinations for SE spaceships without having to to b...

If you look at the actual data you're trying to use it's not really a number but a string "90kW". You van find it here , or in your game files. So you need to convert it. Luckily Factoeio provides a tool to do this. Remember, you'll to convert it back again local stone_furnace_power = ... ...

It's energy_usage and not `energy_consumption`.

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaGameScript.html#set_game_state There is very limited information about this command in the docs, and I thought it might be useful to add some after creating Better Victory Screen . I would propose something like: game_finished: Triggers the "Game F...

Could be cool if the name was shown in the tooltip

Hello! Not sure about the running_speed_modifier. Might be if other mods might change it after you do. A trick you can use is to add an invisible sticker to the character. Similar to what slow-down capsules do, except to increase speed. The tricky part is managing it though. Is it automatically crea...

Can't wait to use this in bot-malls and train stations! I do have two questions though: What happens when you specify 3 parameterized ingredients, but the recipe only has two? My hope would be that the third is silently ignored. Can you please turn the tiny checkmark button into a big "Confirm&...

I was looking into this for Biter Power as well where I didn't want the Egg Extractors to be affected by mining productivity. I left it be though, because thematically it still works in my case, it just made scaling the "mining rate" harder. If possible I would still change it back to a fl...
