btw you still didn't credit me for the locale. It's just blank ^^

I would support to create some kind of general Factorio Mod license, cause bob already created an informal license with similar contents. This trend will likely continue if we can't get a general agreement. Having many licenses would increase the chance of mistakes and is also confusing for people ...

just wanted to stop by and note that I created a new mod which could be an alternative to the advanced drills mod:
https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Xerus/MiningPlus

I like the license and I may use it. However, please provide a short summary for dummies at the beginning. Also, could it get a more professional name?

the view of the discovered offworld sites does not show em all:


But already a freaking great mod!

Could you suppress the rocket-started-without-satellite popup when a rocket is launched with one of your modules?

Code should be like this:

if remote.interfaces["silo_script"]["set_show_launched_without_satellite"] then
remote.call(silo_script, set_show_launched_without_satellite, false)
end

could I get some more detail on how to do this? I can't find any documentation...

When I wanted to make my own drill, i looked at the prototype for the electric mining drill and found this:

energy_source =
{
type = "electric",
-- will produce this much * energy pollution units per tick
emissions = 0.15 / 1.5,
usage_priority = "secondary-input"
}

why write 0.15/1.5 and ...

When I activate the Laser Beam Turrets mod, the Lasers make no sound anymore. I am also currently improving the mod Tesla Turret, where I coded in some own sound and they just aren't coming, even when I increased the volume of the sound samples or used sound = make_laser_sounds() for testing. I ...

Wow it has taken me forever to find this essential thread!
Please add it to the API documentation, I think i will add something on the wiki for this.

There is a ton of outdated information on the wiki, especially in the prototypes section. If I am not misinterpreting the API, then prototypes like https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/EntityWithHealth don't even exist anymore.
I would suggest to redirect to the API documentation because keeping all ...

Has this changed in the api with all the changes done since this past year? It'd be sooo nice to be able to start the game with next to regular stack sizes, and then as you progress increase the capacity through technology! :P (I'm going to assume it hasn't, but just curious)

Actually, I'd really ...

well I would gladly take the mod over
I'm currently working on two other mods but this would really nicely complement them and I already found some minor things that need fixing

damn I'd like to see the setup but the images aren't working anymore :c

ah well, I just took a look at my locale. I already factored this in, so it doesn't need change. But what does the "resource reach distance"?

and what about my two other suggestions?

but it still doesnt do that for modded GUIs, which I wold expect...

yep, had the same problem with testing in creative mode, maybe write that into your front post and also edit it because you can't use other oils anymore.
Please add tooltips to the items, the wind turbine is not even showing an estimate power output to me, ONLY its health.

The Burner Generator only ...

This mod throws an error when used in combination with research queue:
Failed to load mods: The given sprite rectangle (left_top=0x0, right_bottom=64x64) is outside the actual sprite size (left_top=0x0, right_bottom=32x32).
Sprite name: _Tesla_Turret__/graphics/entity/tesla-turret/tesla-turret ...

I created a german locale! Find it attached
I just wondered about the difference between character-resource-reach-distance and character-reach-distance , since even you yourself translated it to the same.

Could you set the default stack multiplier to 5 and 4 for ammo? I looked a while at the stack ...
