Did I just win the over-signaling competition? 1st place :D Anyway, thx again. And yes I noticed a performance drain previously when the trains were actually running. I used that many signals to improve throughput in/around factory and had the feeling that it worked. Ofc it is a nightmare regarding...

Storage of LuaObjects in `global` is the intended way of keeping references between ticks. They hook into targeters system game uses so they are fast when used and compact when saved. For me the title of this topic is a red flag: a known entity means you already have LuaObject to it (as this is the ...

Looking at the new rail pictures it looks like there are still at most 3 ways a rail can go. Look at the last picture for the biggest example. Correct? Yes. On top of that this system is complete: for every direction there are always 3 rails available: one that will turn left by 1/16th, one that wi...

Unfortunately there are no ways to check that. The closest data we have internally are rail blocks and rail segments but traversal of those data is expensive. Direct answer from the game engine would require implementing trains pathfinder lua API to allow lua to perform direct queries of paths betwe...

:wink: -- edit: I am going to move this to "implemented" even when technically it does not match the request. Reason is that the request in original shape makes no sense as the pings storage is literally in the output console so it is tightly binding to message printing and it makes no sen...

I think this may be considered as implemented for 2.0 as there was "register_on_object_destroyed" implemented which supports LuaTrain. In that case when a train is destroyed (where by train we should consider "specific composition of stocks" so 2 trains may be destroyed when merg...

This is now implemented for 2.0. Objects from LuaRendering will be provided as LuaRenderObject (viewtopic.php?p=591699#p591699) and those objects are one of supported types for a "register_on_object_destroyed".

I am considering this to be implemented for 2.0 as there was "register_on_object_destroyed" implemented which has LuaGuiElement as one of the supported types. Amount of data provided is similar to register_on_entity_destroyed which is basically just the registration number and some useful ...

TLDR part is implemented for 2.0 as there was "register_on_object_destroyed" implemented that supports unit groups. It may be slightly tricky because it has the same limitations as register_on_entity_destroyed - depending on when unit group is destroyed, the event may be raised in current ...

Moving this to Wont fix because "extends_inventory" will be removed in 2.0.

Thanks for the report. Both issues are now fixed for 1.1.100.

Thanks for the report. This issue was already fixed for 2.0 but given a fix is 1 line of code i decided to backport this fix and so it is now fixed for 1.1.100. It is an issue of BuildingRenderer drawing preview as it was changing entities position without notifying entities they had position change...

For 1.1.100 i added LuaEntity::belt_shape read that will return "left", "straight" or "right" depending on what is the current shape of a transport belt. There are ways to determine the shape from existing fields but it is annoying operation as you need to get all neigh...

You can check available length by measuring rail segment length (assuming there are no merges or splits in the middle) using the command mentioned above: /c game.print(game.player.selected.get_rail_segment_length()) As for the length a train needs to fit entirely inside of such segment: Lets introdu...

What about this case? I am not seeing anything interesting with this case. Diagonal straight rail has front and back signal positions overlapping and so the signal binding logic is implemented to choose if a signal is binding to the front or to the back. If one of those is not possible (because the...

I am going to blame unfortunate mod composition. Freeze happens during nth_tick handler of RenaiTransportation which calls LuaSurface::find_non_colliding_position for item entity and this search is unbound. In this specific case the search happens on the "Factory Floor 55" surface. I expec...

Weird, headless package i downloaded for 1.1.98 from CDN has different checksum than the file i see on our local copy. Our local copy of `factorio_headless_x64_1.1.98.tar.xz` has SHA1 `eaf69f3e37d4d92fc75a5c5b86078e460e752b04` (i suspect this will be the correct one [packaged as zip because of forum...

Jetpack creates equipment specifying `energy_source.type = "void"` but game ignores this field as it is implemented to only ever load electric energy source (there is no need to specify type if there is nothing to choose from). This is why jetpack also specifies `usage_priority` as otherwi...

Thanks for the report. I am going to move this to "wont fix". Pump to fluid wagon sprites are prepared for a specific fluid wagon offsets under assumption that entire train is standing only on straight rails. In this specific scenario front rolling stock is standing partially on the curved...

Thanks for the report. Issue is now fixed for 1.1.98. `menu-simulation-big-defense.zip` background simulation from base mod uses fast-loader which is of type `loader` however DyWorld-Dynamics-2 forces `fast-loader` to be of type `loader-1x1`. Because of a mistake i did long time ago it fails to proc...
