I am mostly in favor of using a config file since you have to allocate a separate directory anyway, there are no strong reasons preventing you from having multiple config files anyway. The ability to specify separately some of the paths was added in 0.18.29, while the --mod-directory is an override...

I would like to show the damage when a player walks over a land mine. Only the Event.on_entity_damaged is not triggered. What can I do? Use of other mods not desired. Can you please change the animation, it's always very weird when you're stuck by a land mine. local function script_event_on_entity_d...

Thank you for your detailed reply. I have now created a second config. Just as there is a --mod-directory parameter, I would like a --server-directory parameter. Does that make sense, would it be possible? Or for all a separate parameter? --server-directory --mod-directory --save-directory --archive...

There is this one: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=471804#p471804 I have now added the parameter "--no-log-rotation". It would be better to switch off the log completely, is that possible? How much is the content in "factorio\temp\currently-playing" affected? Can the...

I've successfully started multiple servers with and without mods, just deleting the ".lock" file. Are there any side effects I'm missing? screen -dmSU "screen.window.factorio.instance_1"; \ screen -S "screen.window.factorio.instance_1" -p 0 -X stuff " /opt/factorio...

### Default path to the factorio mods directory. [WINDOWS] + [R] %appdata%\Factorio\mods ### But you are forced to copy the complete path. --mod-directory C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods ### It would be nice if you could just use the word "mods", which would then be created...

99 is not 100! This is known, if you can reproduce it post steps that do. Of course it would be nice to know the steps. But I'm a bit annoyed that it was simply classified as "Not a Bug". It's clearly a bug, just not easy to find. I can only get a small stone rolling, the main work you ha...

For several years I had completed 100% of the achievements. After helping some friends build a train within 90 minutes a few days ago. The achievements have now been reset and are even displayed incorrectly. See screenshot 99/100. How is that possible?

I had forgotten to set a server password in the server-settings.json, so I wanted to set one via /config, only changing the password is not accepted. Where is the save button?

I play without mods. What you can see in the screenshot is a custom vanilla scenario.

I use vehicles a lot and I'm always annoyed when I forget to fill up with fuel. Could you please include a fuel gauge? Look at the wood in the screenshot.

Corpse/remnant have empty default collision mask, which means they don't collide with anything.

That's what I thought, so that the set_tiles function is all-encompassing, I would like a new parameter that can also be used to exchange non-colliding objects. Does it make sense?

In the screenshot you can see that the destroyed chests have not been removed. I'm of the opinion that this should actually be done with the remove_colliding_entities parameter?

LuaSurface.set_tiles

[Koub] Moving this to modding help. If it comes out that it's currently not doable, I'll move it to modding interface requests.

Status?

I can't change the color of a turret, but I can change the color of a character. Why can't I assign a new color to a turret? /c game.permissions.get_group( 'Default' ).set_allows_action( defines.input_action.set_entity_color, true ) /c game.permissions.get_group( 'Default' ).set_allows_action( defin...

I think lines are always not drawn in FoW, so not sure why it's different (if it is). Lines can be drawn on top of entities and below, is it the same for text? Does that alter how text is affected for FoW maybe? Just throwing guesses out of things I would test. Your thoughts were correct, with the ...

Drawing does not disappear in the fog of war. Is there an option that I have so far overlooked to turn off the drawing in the fog? /c rendering.draw_text( { text = game.player.selected.force.name, target = game.player.selected, target_offset = { 0, - 3.7 }, surface = game.player.surface, color = { r...
