thanks it worked, i was under impression that this only works for data

hi I ran into an issue where I have two mods interacting but would like to reverse the order of the control scripts for them. to my knowledge the only way of doing that is to rename one mod, but that will yield my save files (180h) unusable... is there any way of either doing that without renaming, ...

sweet thanks!

Hi. I ran into some glitch with my mod and I'm not sure how to solve it: I cannot use productivity modules on any of my items/liquids regardless of them being in subgroup = "intermediate-product". I looked through vanilla item/recipe files and I cannot find anything that would relate to th...

thanks a ton, this is going to be very useful

this is the problem;

["fast-inserter"] = {
circuit_connector_sprites = nil,

-cheers

hi. i am having hard time finding where this entry got moved... it doesn't look like it is still within the sprites table, its part of the return of make_circuit_connector_sprites, but i am not sure where exactly that gets assigned to.... i tried; local sprite = table.deepcopy(circuit_connector_defi...

For each of the 7 science packs, request 2147483600 in the constant combinator. nono, im talking about the chest is set to request 9 packs, but at this particular instance it requests 7 since all 7 are below the count threshold.... The inserter can only select 5 at a time, but it will get all of th...

First, solve this math problem: X = 2147483648 - items needed. Connect a constant combinator to the chest and filter inserter. Set item = X in the constant combinator for each item you want. Change the inserter mode to "set filter". Thanks to the magic of integer overflow, the item count ...

hi. i am wondering if there is a way of reproducing the relationship of inserter-assembling machine or inserter-lab for; inserter-chest or inserter-requester chest what i am talking about is if i have variety of items on a belt, the inserter will only pick up w/e lab currently needs, however this in...

ooooof ok, thanks for the heads up, and VERY quick response!

back to the drawing board of my circuit network then!

hi. Is it possible to have more than 5 filter slots for these? is there a mod that handles it? all mods i came across deal with the 0-5 range. i tried looking for the string of the exception that is thrown (it is a custom string) when the 'filter_count' is set to >5 in all game files but could not f...

Mods are sandboxed, the only way to access the global table is to use the mod's remote interface (if the mod provides it). remote.add_interface("my-mod-interface", { get_global = function(key) return global[key] end, set_global = function(key, value) global[key] = value end }) local count...

hi.

I understand that each mod has its own global table. Does anyone know how is this indexed? I'm trying to access a global table of a mod from within base scripts of the game.

i tried few things but i just can't find it, and i couldn't find anything with forum/reddit search.

thank you in advance

ah right, I thought there was a specific remote.call for updating the GUI

You can just do the remove_tracked_item remote call with `""` as the parameter, it should refresh the GUI.

ah nice that worked! thanks a lot for your help

You will need to tell the silo script to update after you change the tracked items, there is a remote.call for it sry i don't thin i follow. are you saying that the count is within the tracked items list? i don't see any update call for rocket-silo script there, unless it was added after 16.30 (tha...

I could fix it, but really the mods shouldn't be adding things multiple times. You can check if you item is already in the tracked list, and if it is, then don't add it to the list If I were to fix it, I would change it to a map of ["entity-name"] = true, However these mods are still doin...

Hi, I'm trying to access the count for each tracked items in rocket silo stats. I tried various things: 1- player.force.items_launched["orbital-ion-cannon"] = player.force.items_launched["orbital-ion-cannon"] - 1 2- local count = player.force.items_launched["orbital-ion-cann...

Hi, I just came across this small problem. The add_tracked_item allows for duplicate entries which results in: https://image.ibb.co/cD9uVq/befored.jpg I managed to clean it up with the commented section (in silo-script.lua), I haven't tested the if statement yet : add_tracked_item = function(item_na...

thanks for quick response!

Hi. was rocket_silo.inventory key changed? I'm not completely sure if it was there to begin with, and I can't find anything in update history. Anyone know how do I access event.rocket_silo "rocket result inventory" from on_rocket_launched? I'm trying to conditionally clear it. I've tried t...
