Adjust blueprint data when selecting new entities for existing blueprint

When using the "Select new entities" button for an existing blueprint, mods do not appear to have a chance to adjust the blueprint data on save. in on_player_setup_blueprint the blueprint is not setup, nor valid for read. However the same is true for on_player_configured_blueprint and the ...

Re: Friday Facts #396 - Sound improvements in 2.0

I then realised that we could have invisible creatures, for example small non-hostile alien birds in the trees Is it just me, or does that mean a lot more entities, which needs to be calculated and drag UPS down? As for the ambient noise sound, I trust they can be controlled/disabled separately? Be...

Re: Get electric network information using API

I would also like to see the ability to get a list of electric networks, ideally similar to how you can get logistic networks, which then just group them by surface and have a list of them for each surface. It would also have to allow accessing either the LuaFlowStatistics of it directly from the ne...

Decider Combinator without power usage

Is there a way to completely remove power usage from a custom decider combinator? I tried setting active_energy_consumption to nil but the game complains. I could set it to a low value, but a very low value will just make the "no Power" symbol appear. It will also still show up in the powe...

Multiplayer settings should NOT modify global/local game settings

I would like to ask about the possibility to detect (via an event) entities that are set on fire. This could be a generic event with filters or an extension to an existing event with an added filter that allows to get entities that are set on fire. Should have filters for entity type and the burn st...

Re: [1.1.53] find_non_colliding_position returns colliding position

basically I have been doing the following for some time. Eventually you will find a place that is claimed as being a valid position, you will be teleported and unable to move. This might put you at the edge of spawners, barely inside a cliff or into a rock. local function getRandomPositionInDistance...

calling game.player.surface.find_non_colliding_position('car', game.player.position, 10, 1) returns a position that will collide with the car, as evidenced by teleporting the car to the returned location, then attempting to move the car, which won't move.

Re: 0.16.7 Fluid wagons - why

Not to mention that circuit controlled pumps seem to get pumps stuck regularly, causing the train to not move and the location running out of the resources the train provides. Any chance you are running into fluid being less than 1 (but greater than 0) and the circuit network rounding that down to ...
