Not to mention this could allow "discover a faster route to X planet that skips needing to go through Y planet" type techs.

Seems to me like you should check the Not Going to Implement forum, unfortunately.

Still seems like an event would be helpful, since it would presumably pass the tower that did the planting and save needing to find it.

In fact, if the event also passed the item that was planted, that would allow for quality plantables - you could check if the seed was quality and if so replace ...

Why not just create an "empty space" planet?


That's what I've been doing so far. The main problem was that players were able to drop down to it, but when I next have time I'll try hiding it as suggested. I'm not sure what'll happen to the space route when I do, I'll have to see.


Clearly ...

Why not just create an "empty space" planet?

This would definitely be super convenient if it existed. Giant walls of nil checks looks ugly and I almost always forget one...

1) It would be nice if the actual range of a specific lightning collector was directly available in the LuaEntity. Currently you have to get the prototype and quality and math out the range from those.

2) It would also be nice if lightning collectors being blocked from placement on planets without ...

Would be real cool if the event passed the contents of the pod, too.

What do you mean by the name of the network?

Sections do have names, and that is accessible in LuaLogisticSection.group, but I didn't think logistic networks as a whole could have names.


If you open the "Logistic networks" view (default hotkey "L" or use the button with the square and "WiFi ...

Ah, I see - this is in 2.0.22, not 2.0.21.

This seems to be undocumented both in the doc site and the change notes for 2.0.21. Do you happen to know what the implementation is? Does it simply return an ItemIDAndQualityIDPair now?

The ideal, to my mind, would be a hybrid system: Quality being programmatically generated by default, but having the option to specifically define a prototype to be a higher quality version of another prototype. "is_quality_of :: LuaEntityPrototype, LuaQualityPrototype" or something like that.

And ...

If an entity has a base quality applied through effect_receiver, the quality doesn't appear in the tooltip; it can only be seen when the entity is placed.

Contrariwise, base productivity applied through effect_receiver adds a tooltip.

Similar to my other request. Selected_prototype only passes the name and type of the prototype, making it impossible to identify the quality of an item or entity when using it in a custom event.

Regarding the mod portal search, I always found it strange that it's so hard to find mods you're looking for by searching for the name. For example, if I search for "Space Exploration", the mod itself with that exact name is not even on the first page of hits.

Are you sure you don't just ...

As far as I can tell LuaLogisticPoint.targeted_items_deliver (and its companion, LuaLogisticPoint.targeted_items_pickup) do not store the quality of the items being delivered/picked up, making it impossible to identify the quality of incoming items when reading these variables.

According to the ...

Please yes, being able to have different rocket types with different carrying capacities would be amazing.

I would like to second the request for "mod groups".

The biggest pain point in setting up mods for me right now is manually switching between i.e. my Krastorio setup and my Space Exploration setup, which often have different secondary mods also because different mods complement each other ...
