The dev mentioned, they're doing automated tests. How I understand it, they have some scenarios defined for each particular function they want to test. These scenarios are then run and you get feedback on which scenarios passed and which falied. The feedback needs to be presented in such a way, you ...

I believe mod creators would greatly benefit from capability to test the mods (and their interactions).
Since you guys (devs) mentioned, you're already running automated tests for Factorio, I hope to see it soon.

I fully agree with vampiricdust. Factorio would be kinda ruined for me, if the final goal of my epic factory would be... to become a taxi driver. Not even that! I don't even get to drive the ship after all the hard work!

Factorio is a sandbox game. I feel that what you devs are tring to do here is ...

This will help a ton. Thanks.

Thanks. Much better, but it's still not perfect - the assembling machine stops for a moment between after it finishes crafting and start another. How do I set recipe crafting time?

Yes, I'd like to use it as an effect regardless of the daytime.

Plus I wanted to try to use it as an signal light - e.g. to connect it to some circuit network and have it light green if some condition is met, red otherwise. Now I realize would require swapping entities around for different type ...

Hey, guys,
has anybody discovered a way to get lamps to stay on during day, or how to get a stable light source?

I've seen some prototypes using definiton:

...
light = {
minimum_darkness = 0.3,
intensity = 0.4,
size = 25,
},
...


I've tried to use minimum_darkness = 0 with lamp type entity ...
