There is no "global standard" when it comes to symbolic meaning.
There are plenty of de facto global standards for symbol meanings. Pick up practically any smartphone on Earth, and the mail app will have a red dot on it when there are new messages.

Re: Version 1.1.2

I'm a bit late to this, but 1.1 looks really super good at night.

About the new recipe badge, though: isn't a simple red circle the global standard for "new thing" these days? The yellow and black reminds me a lot of a warning sign.

Call on_configuration_changed for new games

I think the current lifecycle callbacks make the following case difficult to handle: There are two mods, Client and Service Service provides a remote interface Client optionally uses the interface during initialisation (and so declares an optional dependency on Service) Right off the bat, it smells ...

Re: Lifecycle, callbacks, and inter-mod communication

It definitely feels like there's a problem with the lifecycle logic Sure does. But it's what we got. I would go so far as to say that this is a design bug, and Wube should consider addressing it before 1.0. I think the solution is as simple as calling on_configuration_changed after on_init for new ...

Re: Lifecycle, callbacks, and inter-mod communication

I'm disappointed that this appears to be a hole in the API, but I've solved my problem by having my remote functions call on_load to link global tables if they haven't been linked yet.

Thanks everyone for your help!

Re: Lifecycle, callbacks, and inter-mod communication

Then create them when the client calls. It definitely feels like there's a problem with the lifecycle logic if I have to guard against uninitialised local variables. Shouldn't that be the whole point of on_load? Personally i use the on_init_config approach where i don't distunguish between the two ...

Re: Lifecycle, callbacks, and inter-mod communication

Right, but in the above scenario, when the Client mod calls the Service API in on_init, the Service mod will not have its local references to the global table yet.

Lifecycle, callbacks, and inter-mod communication

Suppose I have two mods: Service and Client. Both mods work on their own, but Client needs to register something with Service if both are present. So: Client declares a dependency on Service so that its callbacks come after. Client implements on_init() and uses a remote API to register with Service....

Re: Allow fuel_glow_color for non-fuels

That looks nice but the way Disco Science works is it composes a list of colours matching each ingredient. This can go to all seven science pack colours just in vanilla. Plus I think it would generally be a much bigger ask to have people annotate every recipe.

Allow fuel_glow_color for non-fuels

I made DiscoScience , which makes labs light up with the colour of the items they are consuming. The main source of requests for the mod are to support ingredients from other mods. At the moment, this involves putting new ingredient colours in a giant compatibility table. I would like other mod auth...
