I realized on second thought it might help if I added some more context to what I'm trying to do. This is for my mod Construction Planner , and fundamentally what I'm trying to do is have entity ghosts be ignored by robots until the player has indicated they want to build them. Currently the mod ...

Hi,

The only filter option currently provided for 'player.disable_alert()' is to filter by alert type. Would it be possible for this method to instead support the same filtering options that 'player.remove_alert()' has?

I'm particularly interested in disabling alerts by entity, it would fix a lot ...

I can confirm 2.0.11 fixes the issue for me too. Thanks!

I should also make clear - I'm aware I could just have the new recipes create a Stone Furnace item instead of having their own item prototype, but the whole reason I was experimenting with this was because I wanted some easy way to test the actual mod logic in a scenario where there are multiple ...

What did you do?

While working on an upcoming mod, I was experimenting with simple toy recipe and item prototypes for a 'crude metal furnace', which is crafted using metal plate, but places a stone furnace when built ( place_result = "stone-furnace" ) (full details below)

I then tested out the ...

What did you do?

Rebound 'Toggle Filter' to 'Alt + Left-click' in the Controls settings

What happened?

When using 'Alt + Left-click' to toggle filters, "Alt-mode" also gets toggled

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!

"Alt-mode" remains the ...

Given the logfile message, I should add: to my knowledge, the mod zip file had never been opened by any application other than Factorio

What did you do?

Opened Factorio from the Start menu, as usual
Went off to do some IRL things for a while (~20mins maybe?)
Used Windows-key + Shift + Left to move Factorio to my other monitor
Clicked on the "Continue" button to continue my last savegame


What happened?

The game crashed ...

Hi, the built-in selection tools (upgrade planner, blueprint, etc.) will play a sound both when the player begins making a selection, and when the player finishes their selection. I would like to be able to match that functionality when implementing a generic selection-tool. I can play a sound when ...

Ok, I fixed both issues for the next release.


Awesome, thanks!


Yep, there's no reason why that wouldn't work as a workaround. I've implemented it as part of my spidertron serialiser, so feel free to use the code here:
'Copy' https://github.com/tburrows13/SpidertronEnhancements/blob/master ...

I have new information. My mod is definitely related, however there may be an underlying Factorio bug as well.

The reported bug can be reproduced without mods by hovering the mouse over a Spidertron and running this command in the chat window:
/c game.player.selected.force = game.player.selected ...

Thanks for the report, I will update as soon as I can. Thread on the mod portal for this issue: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LogiNetCh ... 278a376a5d

Hmm, I hadn't considered that. I guess for my purposes I'd want to include tile-ghost entities, I'm trying to select all the things that are awaiting construction by construction bots, which would include tile-ghosts.

Hi, I'm trying to make a custom selection-tool that only selects ghost entities, but it doesn't seem to be possible. There doesn't seem to be any sort of "ghost-entity" selection mode , so instead I tried using the "any-entity" selection mode combined with an entity type of " entity-ghost " in the ...

Thanks for the quick fix, awesome job as always! I can confirm both the vanilla save and my mod save are working properly for me now in 0.18.9

Update: it's not just inserters, I am observing this behavior for all entities that can be enabled/disabled based on a logistic network condition:

• Inserter
• Transport belt
• Mining drill
• Pumpjack
• Pump
• Offshore pump
• Power switch
• Lamp
• Train stop

Updated save file attached

What did you do?

I first observed this while debugging a bug report for my mod ( https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LogiNetChannels/discussion/5e422457bdb759000ce7b461 ), but I was able to reproduce it in a vanilla savegame. Repro steps:


I set up a simple logistic network with a single roboport ...

Thanks for the advice, diplomacy is not my mod but I took a look at its mod page. Seems like it is making diplomacy changes in response to player actions. My use case is a little different in that I want to make diplomacy changes in response to other diplomacy changes. And AFAIK there are currently ...

Related - 'on_entity_force_changed' would also be handy, if it's possible...

Hi, I'm just getting into modding, and the API seems to be lacking events for when a force sets a new friend/cease-fire. Something like on_force_cease_fire_changed, on_force_friend_changed, maybe?

In my mod, I am trying to create and manage 'sub-forces' that have mutual friend and cease-fire with ...
