What value should there be? Distractor is literally defined to have a speed of 0 and is set to not follow player because it cannot.

I see no bugs here.

How CharacterCorpsePrototype::armor_picture_mapping works: it is a mapping from an ItemID to an armor index. Game checks entire character corpse inventory and if it finds an item which has a record in the armor_picture_mappings, it takes its value. Highest value found during the corpse inventory sca...

Unfortunately this is not going to happen. Sprite informations are not part of the game state and as such cannot be returned to a Lua. If such request would be performed in a multiplayer game, a headless server may not have any of the png files so an instance of the control script running on a headl...

Unfortunately this interface request in current shape is a no-go. LuaEntity::get_fluid_contents does not return a per-fluidbox fluids, in some cases it is able to return amount of fluids that are not stored in a FluidBox but a regular Fluid container (FluidWagon, FluidTurret). If an entity would hav...

on_player_changed_position is correct.

This is way outside of what the engine is capable of doing and way off of how stuff works. For example belts are not updated per-surface, TransportLineManager is completly unaware of where the transport lines are (that is why linked-belt was relatively easy to implement). All the belts animations ar...

The issue with the entity center approach would be that a larger entities would have a distance penalty like a storage-tank since it is a 3x3 entity. Increasing a circuit wire reach on a storage tank would not be sufficient because the reach limit is based on the smaller reach of the 2 entities to b...

Thanks for the report however i am not considering this to be a bug. Case where you have 2 power poles is special because this one case has different condition for the circuit wire reach: in this case distance between entities is measured as a straight line distance between centers of electric poles...

It would be considered an issue with the old "hard fluid mixing prevention" logic, but it was causing too many implementation corner cases it was discarded long time ago (0.18.32) in favor of a soft fluid mixing prevention which only checks for some simple cases of player building manually...

Mechanically that still makes no sense at all. The belt is made of sliding plates that are fastened in the middle and the middle is pulled along by some force. In a curve the inner part compresses and the outer parts stretches. The inner corner moves slower than the middle and the outer corner move...

There is a... copy-paste bug here... LuaItemStack::get_tile_filter returns entity filter... (moving out of Modding help to Bug reports) For a workaround you can ignore the LuaItemStack::get_tile_filter() method and instead use LuaItemStack::tile_filters [r/w] which is not affected. -- edit: Thanks f...

I am not sure what is the question here, but i can give you some numbers. - All transport lines use fixed point positions with a resolution of 1/256. - Inner corner has length of 106/256, Outer corner has length of 295/256. Straight belt has length of 1. Splitter input line has length of 179/256 and...

This is unlikely to be considered a bug. For the game state determinism (when creating a replay), every change of a game state has to be introduced by an input action. The same is true with the `game.is_multiplayer()` result value - because you can read it in lua it is part of the game state. There ...

I didn't realise that temporary stops could be two-directional.

Please do not mix rail target records with temporary records. From lua it is possible to add a temporary record that goes to a station name, and from lua it is possible to create a permanent record that goes to a rail target.

Ok, i did some "least effort" changes to solve the core issue here - that a rail target works as a two-directional target. Here is what will happen in 1.1.43: Scripting: - Added LuaEntity::connected_rail_direction read. - Added TrainScheduleRecord::rail_direction. LuaEntity::connected_rail...

Ok i am just considering this a modding interface request (moving out of Bug reports).

It is now implemented for 1.1.43:

Changelog for 1.1.43 wrote:Added TurretPrototype::energy_glow_animation_flicker_strength.

energy_glow_animation when being rendered uses a dynamically computed tint in form of Color(a, a, a, a) where the value of "a" changes from 0.8 to 1.0. Exact value changes from tick to tick because it is based on certain hash function that uses turret position and entity tick. If you want ...

Those 2 logs point to 2 different crashes. I am not willing to investigate those since there is a high risk of memory corruption or system being unstable. If you can reproduce a crash reliably i would like to know a reproduction steps which i will look carefully but right now i am moving this to &qu...

Would clone_brush get upset if source_positions contains duplicates? That would allow to go in two passes. First find the positions of important rolling stock then find all relevant tiles for the clone - EDIT: well I can simply try it out No it wont. Entities that were already collected during enti...
