Thanks guys, now I understand what you meant with regards to printing. Adding a counter I indeed see the output as I expect it. This printing behavior can be very confusing, but I suppose there's a reason for it. Thanks for pointing me to the log function, I didn't find that on http://lua-api.factor...

Chunk generation runs in background. I found this out by using beta of Creative Mode (beta version found in "WIP BETA TEST FOR 0.2.0" spoiler at bottom of OP) which has Modding > Events feature - tick the chunk generated event (and also change surface event, etc) and you'll get a running ...

Instead of game.print, try log and see what is printed in the log file. Factorio automatically skips printing stuff if it has been printed in the last x (1?) seconds. For example if you do /c for i = 1,100 do game.print("text") end you won't print 100x text, but only 1 time text. Thanks f...

Hi, I'm new to lua and got confused by the behavior of this small piece of code while toying with surfaces: _G.script.on_event(defines.events.on_chunk_generated,function(e) game.print(e.surface.name); if (e.surface == surface) then for _,entity in pairs(surface.find_entities()) do game.print("D...

I don't think the threat to a defended factory should be increased. It's part of the whole automation idea: You automate your defense so you can forget about it and focus on other things. That's a core mechanic of Factorio. The additional end-game challenge (which I agree is necessary) should instea...

Major annoyance if you are trying to upgrade your base. Please fix.

Relax, it's already fixed for next release: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =30&t=7075

My buddy and I are still seeing a desync with player damage. If either of us get damage from monsters or vehicles (other than a train) the game desyncs.

Make sure both of you are running either the 32 or 64 bit version.

From my understanding a recipe is not an entity though. It's not an item either, which are the two entity functions available on the game object.

I thought you could get the prototype of trees from game.entityprototypes, but it seems that's not actually a Prototype/Entity but a Lua/EntityPrototype with only a few properties.

Thanks for the reply. I know only these properties are available on the object, my hope was that I could get the prototype somehow. Oh well...

Hi!

I'm trying to find the ingredients of items in control.lua and can't figure out how to do that. I see that the game object allows me to get prototypes for items and entities, but what about recipes? I tried querying data.raw only to find out that data is a nil value at this point.

Thanks!
