Additional use case here: I’d like Beltlayer to be able to preserve which item is in which lane, but currently there isn’t a way to guarantee to pick up items from just one side of a belt without using expensive scripting, so I can’t know which lane an item came from to be able to restore it to the ...

The documentation for LuaEntity::splitter_filter indicates it's a read-write of LuaItemPrototype. Reading from this property does correctly return a LuaItemPrototype, but attempting to write one gives "string expected, got table". Writing with the name of the item prototype works correctly. Expected...

Just updated this to the 1.10 version and it breaks when bobs logistics is also enabled. This should be fixed in v1.10.2. It only happened when the Bob's Logistics option for Overhauled Transport Belts was turned off. Then I tried to load the game all mods disabled and only enabled the miniloader m...

Do you run your server with RCON enabled? If so it's as simple as sending the "/players online count" command via the RCON interface.

Attached is the savefile. To your right is a miniloader that is not properly rotated. When hovering over it and pressing R to rotate it, the game crashes with the message above. Thanks for the report! This was caused by a mistake on my part allowing the Mining Drones to mine part (and only part) of...

You can use adaptive automatic rotation loader's code from https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LoadersAutorotation

Thanks. Miniloaders already has code to snap to adjacent belts which I can trigger during on_configuration_changed as a workaround if Wube decides not to change this behavior.

Out of curiosity, did you evaluate a 4-way d-ary heap? In practice it's usually faster for A-star searches due to better alignment with cache behavior.

As in the title. Observe the cluster of miniloaders on the left. Each one is in "input" mode, with the belt on the outside of the cluster. Above the Load Game dialogue you can see the actual state after loading into 0.18.1: the loaders are now in "output" mode, with the same direction, with the resu...

when i rotate miniloader that have item on it bc it went wrong way i get that error. only i can do is remove it then rebuild it ...but cant rotate it when stuff is in miniloader ( sorry about my english hope you do understand what i m explaining.)is there a fix? https://i.imgur.com/9FafsxA.png What...

Third, a question to rseding, if you can describe in a nutshell what the difference is between the event-subscriber pattern and the targeter pattern. It sounds like the same, just inverted. Instead of the subscription, the pointer to the target is deleted. Or is this the main difference? I believe ...

repofme1, I thought you may find this interesting, a shot of the map view of my 16.51 xander game. I was trying to get everything train supplied and i stopped about the time my brain melted ;) http://prntscr.com/pr8z3h edit: somewhere around 250 hours of gametime I believe (some of that is AFK time...

Seems like having certain prototypes completely unrelated to the inserter (e.g. data.raw.item-entity) with incorrect collision boxes also cause this error. Weird. Not that weird. As discussed: So taking "s" as the size of the "item-on-ground" entity (plus a floating-point rounding-compensation fact...

Suggestion: make Utility Science Pack research depend on Automation 3. This isn't captured by the automatic generation, and I didn't notice that I needed Laser Assemblers for the Optical Controllers.

I'm finally back, Glad to see you back! I've been putting a lot of time into educating myself on various industrial processes with the idea of continuing to extend XM2, but the uncertainty of knowing if/when you'd be back and turn the world upside-down again has been a real drain on my motivation. ...

hi! I ran into the uneven loading bug again. This time with a red miniloader that loads a chest from a full blue belt. Rotating the red miniloader twice makes it load at different speeds from the two lanes. This time I checked to have the latest version of miniloader (1.8.3). When trying to trigger...

Observed behavior != expected behavior: The items on the lower lane of the belt are backlogging. (Rotate the LEFT miniloader, so that it stops unloading onto the belt, to get a clearer view of this behavior, while the belt empties.)

Are you running the latest version (1.8.3)?

As a note, writing nil to a sprite or sprite-button gives an error. Writing empty string to a sprite clears the element, but writing empty string to a sprite-button does nothing.
