Identifying Items or Entities Lacking elem_tooltip

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a script to identify items or entities that cannot have their own elem_tooltip. I have implemented the following code:


local function filter_unknown_prototype_name(prototype_name)
if prototype_name == "elevated-straight-rail"
or prototype_name ...

Re: Retrieving Entity Icons. How?

Thank you for the help!

I have mostly figured things out. Understanding that in the runtime, images are not icons but sprites broke the barrier of misunderstanding for me, and everything fell into place.

As for prototypes, I'm using them to obtain localized names and descriptions of entities, but ...

Re: Retrieving Entity Icons. How?

QwenLM helped me.
First: not `defines`, just `prototypes`
Second: not icons but sprites

for type, count in pairs(count_selection_entities(entities))
do
local prototype = prototypes['entity'][type]
if prototype ~= nil
then
local sprite = "entity/" .. type
end
end

Retrieving Entity Icons. How?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently developing a mod in Factorio and I've run into an issue I haven't been able to solve for a couple of days now. I have a list of entity prototypes in an array in control.lua obtained from a selection or a blueprint object list. My goal is to count the number of entities ...

Re: LuaEntity.copy_settings not copying equipment grid

I did a bit more experimenting with the `LuaEntity.copy_settings` function. It seems that the equipment grid is not copied only when the player parameter is not specified in the function call.

Is this the expected behavior? I would prefer that after copying, the Spidertron does not remain in the ...

LuaEntity.copy_settings not copying equipment grid

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on copying the settings of one Spidertron to others using the `LuaEntity.copy_settings` function. You can see the relevant code snippet here .

However, I've noticed that the equipment grid is not being copied over.

Re: Version 2.0.26

Yes, please, when downloading files, please display not just a progress bar, but downloaded/left and speed.
In general, of course, this is not critical at all, but it would be convenient to plan your time a little.

[2.0.24] Copy and Paste Icons Usable as Signals in Circuit Network and in Train Schedule

What did you do?
I opened an interface where you can select a signal, item, or fluid (e.g., in the circuit network or train schedule interface). Then, I pressed Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V, which caused the copy or paste icon to appear under the cursor. I clicked in the selection area.

What happened?
The copy ...

And what is the point in delivering turrets and ammunition to it if the turret cannot be built because there is no foundation?

Re: [Space Age] Auto Request missing construction materials should prioritise foundation

I support and expand it. I have to manually control the initial shipment of components to the platform so that the warehouse is built first and only then turn on automatic requests. Therefore, it is necessary to prioritize not only the foundation, but also the storage modules.

Re: Add 2 outputs to Decider Combinator

I apologize for interjecting, but with the recent introduction of new combinators that support multiple conditions, the idea of adding an "else" output seems even more appealing now.

There are several advantages to this addition:

Re: [2.0.23] Crash accepting parameters after pasting blueprint (FillBlueprintParametersGui::confirm())

Additionally, I would like to point out a small inconvenience that contributes to reproducing the bug. When a parameter does not have a quality option, the game prompts you to select a quality in the parameter selection dialog when pasting the blueprint. Usually, quality is not needed, so it’s ...

Display text toggle and rotation features for displays on map

TL;DR
Add the ability to toggle the display of text on the map and include an option to rotate this text, similar to how it is done for train stations.

What?
I suggest implementing a feature that allows players to toggle the visibility of text displayed by displays on the map. Additionally, it ...

Re: [1.1.96] Bypassing the multiplayer password when updating the game

Later, at 1:18, I exit the game and immediately connect to it. The server asks for the password. That's why I decided there was a bug.
I do not insist, I explain why I decided that there is a bug :)
