Why the event has surface index, not surface name?

on_post_entity_died ( event)
	local surface_index = event.surface_index
	local surface_name = game.surfaces[surface_index].name
	game.print ('surfaceindex: '..surface_index..'; surface name: '..surface_name)
end

Would it be possible to automatically convert these into real links?

If anybody has any idea on why that is happening i would love to hear it.

Are you sure that you have a mask while the prototype copying?

What if the speed is less than 1/256 tiles per tick? No movement at all or the movement will be accordingly accumulated?

For the electric and diesel train mods, currently the trains are the same texture but with a different standard colour. I want to retexture them to make the electric one look like the Bombadier Traxx (https://railway-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/200th-Bombardier-TRAXX-for-Railpool-scaled.jpg...

Set the minable to false or replace tile-placeholder with the tile by the script.

Don't forget to set the input and out type:

Code: Select all

Anyone know if there's a collision_mask or other method (ie, do I need to make checks in control while placing?) that prevents an entity from being placed on path tiles, both vanilla and mod added? Basically, I want to make it so you can't plant a tree on anything but bare, regular ground. :) See a...

My question was: Why we have data.raw? I mean, why not just data? And why not settings.raw or data.settings?

darkfrei

No. The reason is: Data stage is defined based off the values of the settings stage. If the settings stage could be defined based off the values of the data stage it would be an infinite loop. Must be something like (but never will be implemented) data-pre-settings settings data data-updates data-f...
