Add an API to access a recipe's Total Raw on the LuaRecipePrototype

Within Factorio when the user hovers over a recipe the context information includes the total raw ingredients and craft time. It would be great if this could be exposed on the Runtime API as part of the LuaRecipePrototype object. At present a mod would have to walk the recipes that make the ingredie...

New Game and Migration Scripts in Data Lifecycle

When starting a new game with a mod enabled the mods migration scripts aren't run. The Data Lifecycle diagram doesn't seem to distinguish the difference between a new game starting with the mod active and the mod being added to a save.

Animation `layers` field should be optional.

The `layers` field should be optional in the prototype Animation.
The example on the page confirms this in addition to my working code.

Prototype LightDefinition listed `picture` as mandatory

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/typ ... ition.html

The `picture` field is listed as mandatory, but it's optional for "basic" type. The `rotation_shift` field is the same requirement concept and is listed as optional.

Re: EntityWithHealthPrototype resistances field is a singular rather than array?

The docs list a single object/table of fields. But accepts an array of objects as per your included example.

EntityWithHealthPrototype resistances field is a singular rather than array?

The definition of the resistances field in EntityWithHealthPrototype is the type of Resistances. But looking at this Resistances class its a single object/table, rather than supporting an array of Resistances. I'm not entirely sure on what the valid options are the, but the example array of tables i...

Unit entities created on an old mod prototype version have "cached" movement_speed

It seems that if a unit is created in a map and the game saved. Then the unit prototype's speed is changed in the mod. When the game is loaded the existing units keep the old prototype speed, with any newly placed units getting the new prototype speed. See demo video, save and sample mod attached. I...

Re: Version 1.1.81

It does look much more inviting for new-to-mod users. As your presented with groupings of good mods, not just a mash of latest mods. With half often having been: WIP, alpha, personal, etc.

Seeing `fresh mods of the last month` category, I would like to be able to expand it and see more than just 5.

In-game GUI to manage alerts and warnings being shown

It would be nice if there was an in-game GUI to manage what alerts and warnings are shown to the player. Rather than having to use console commands.

I appreciate these are per map and not global, so would be like the map overlay toggles.

Re: Performance optimization - post your saves

Do you count continuous max pathfinder UPS for a few unit groups to get through many layers of walls as a performance issue ? It only becomes an organic issue on very large bases, but can easily cause the pathfinder to stay at its max processing indefinitely. Save that shows the pathfinder strugglin...

If you change some pathfinder settings while the game is doing a pathfind it will desync. Encountered in an MP game, but reproduced in SP with heavy mode enabled.

Re: Small documentation improvement requests

LuaEntity.damage() says that the type and dealer are optional. However, if you actually provide nil to either of these you get an error. They are optional in the sense that you don't have to provide those arguments. This means to provide a dealer argument value you have to provide a type argument v...
