RSS is a better way of supporting BOTs. As a fairly frequent mod updater, I note that the existing bot application built off the api 'struggles' to find updates when they are made. When it works, it is fine. You get all the relevant information from the update. But, I find the bot is only working ...

I am sure you will find that is fixed and has been for awhile. I tend to monitor the mod portal more than the forums if you have errors, btw.

Oh man! I like where you are going with the rectenna! I hope it is not too overpowered once completely set up! I like a good challenge.

I balance everything against vanilla production capabilities, so there is that, but it will be worthwhile to go in this direction should you choose to do so ...

Btw by wiki I mean wikipedia - a rectenna is a thing, I didn't make it up. Also treat all graphics in that image as placeholders/wip.

ok cool

ah i saw the teaser image.... am guessing a radar scanner for receiving a rocket?

Wrong - but rockets can go there - look up rectenna on the wiki, and this is just the minute tip of the iceberg of what I have planned ....

Would you like me to throw you guys a bone .... ?

I did actually ask about this one in discord first (mod_making). Anyway, my workaround works so it is all good. (And I knew about the train schedule, I assumed that was a consequence, but it seems it is more like the reason for this behaviour)

If you have a single station with a train parked at it and you change the station name, then 'event.entity.get_train_stop_trains()' correctly returns the train that was in the single train stop. However, if there are more than one train stops with the same name, and a train is parked in one of these ...

hi sandman, did you get a chance to have a look at my idea from last year here?
https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=40288&start=20#p292159
maybe this can also give Game4Lols (and me and others) some more incentive and satisfaction? if easy to add a fleet? :)


Something is ...

It also seems to me that 125,000 Science Packs is to many and my interest in completing this challenge will probably wane.

You know you can turn off require the science packs in the startup mod settings, right?

Hi

I'm Gutted. I've been building a factory to try and complete Space X.

I just built the Space X Cobinator and placed it next to a small pylon and got the error....

Error while running event - __SpaceMod__/control.lua::536:bad argument #1 to 'insert' (table ...

Yes I agree (with it is the wrong way), and thanks.

Official petition: Please remove the factor 10 for bobs mod, if the SeaBlock mod pack is detected.

Reasons:

SeaBlock deactivates all overpowered Modules (God, raw productivity, raw speed). Best modules available are slightly better than the vanilla ones and have massive energy costs
SeaBlock ...

The class LuaSurface has a method Find_entities_filtered - it would be useful to enable this to filter based on backer_name (obviously only where backer_name is applicable, so maybe the type has to already define an entity type that supports backer_name). This would reduce needing to deal with over ...

Unfortunate, but I understand. Thanks Rseding91.

I would like to be able to define an event that will trigger based on a (definable) entity type changing status from enabled to disabled or vice versa via in game circuit network conditions. Currently (as far as I can see), this has to be done by an on_nth_tick function that checks current status ...

Just an FYI that with the last version of Factorio and the mod, this mod crashes the app:

Prehaps some reward for launching all parts? I was messing around with it on my creative world, (Great mod, btw) But was kinda dissapointed to get only a congrats for what would be hours upon hours of work on a survival world. Don't know what the reward might be, but would be nice.

Any know how compatible this mod is with certain other mods?

I'm specifically running Bob's (full suite) + Angels (full suite) + Pyanodon's (Coal+Industry+Fusion+ Touched by an Angel). The Bob's/Angel's versions are frozen a little in the past to avoid rebalancing/recipe changes that are ongoing ...
