Awesome find! This is going in the 'weird edge case' notes for work for sure. The counter does sound like a pretty reasonable workaround.

I have not looked at the network packets as yet but is it possible that you are 'accidentally' forming a TCP/IP packet or some other protocol, given UDP is the basis for TCP?

Does wireshark categorise or identify the 'rogue' packet as something other than what you expect it?

UDP is not the basis ...

Network Engineer here.

Consumer grade routers are the bane of my existence.

I'd suggest trying to eliminate them from the picture first and foremost. In my experience, they're the most likely trouble points when you're dealing with strangely mangled or dropped packets in weird patterns like this ...

Zingo2, I don't appreciate your tone here. Modding is a collaborative community effort. Getting things right takes a lot of time and energy, and there are bound to be bugs during a transition as large as 0.12 to 0.13.

justarandomgeek was kind enough to take time out of his day to get this project ...

Thank you everyone

I'm linking the new github in the OP.

If a new forum thread is started for the 0.13 version let me know and I will link that as well.

I have updated the OP. Unfortunately due to personal health concerns I will not be able to update this to 0.13 any time soon. Please see the main post for details :(

If you want to move your existing CC maps to 0.13 immediately, you can use the remover in version 0.12 to reset all objects back to ...

Confirmed -- this behavior is intentional. This way I don't have to worry about cluttering up the crafting menus with 'uncrafting' recipes. Also, it works with construction bots too. Anytime any colored item gets picked up it reverts to the base game equivalent. The crafting times are also super ...

So I love this mod and I would like to add my contribution to it :
I've upgraded your script to make it possible to generate hazard and fire ground.

Ok, WOW. I just tested your script. That's cool. Unfortunately I don't have time to do much with factorio modding at the moment due to my work ...

global.defaultsets is something created and used by Autofill, and has nothing to do with color coding.

I briefly looked at the code, and it seems like Autofill is not checking whether or not entity types still exist when it initializes. It is checking to see if color coding is loaded... then ...

Just updated again, but not the base mod itself.

I've added a remover utility, in case you ever want to remove the mod from your saves, now you can. The remover will convert all colored entities back to their stock form.

See the first post for detailed instructions on how to use it.

Thanks. I'll use this workaround for the moment. I didn't realize that print was available to dump to stdout.

These are awesome! Thanks for sharing =D

Tools used included Geany (a text editor), ImageMagick, GIMP, Pinta, and bash.

I didn't create all the assets, however. Hitzu submitted several sets of graphics that turned out much better than anything I knew how to make.

IIRC they used PhotoShop to do it. If you review the whole thread you can ...

Thanks! I added a link to the main post to direct people to your comment, so you can update your download link if necessary.

please keep this mod uptodate ( 12.20 ) and upcoming steam release

Due to the way that the mod works, very little version-dependent code is present. It should continue working unless the devs change something significant with the way mods load or the way crafting recipes work.

Unfortunately I ...

Would you consider adding support for the MK2, MK3, and armored trains in Bob's Mods? I had all my trains color-coded, and went to upgrade to the next set of trains, but couldn't keep my coloring

I'm not planning on adding support for anything but the vanilla game in my mods. (I don't use the big ...

This isn't a problem with the mod, it's a bug in the base game that has been fixed in recent patches. Please make sure you're running the latest version of Factorio.

Hotfix released: v1.0.7 works with 0.12.8. Original post has been updated.

Also would it be possible to change the color of a light with the wire network?

Sorry, this would be very complicated and bug-prone to do. I recommend just setting up separate lights of each color. The mod is MIT licensed, so if you want to take a shot at making it work, be my guest.

Together ...
