Is the return true or false from the transfer call?

First step would be to dust it, then worry about thermal paste if that doesn't take care of it.

Are you thinking of Dark Matter Replicators? Replicators can make items using just electricity, and the textures for them was basically just the vanilla lab. Resources required tier 1 replicators, more complicated items required higher tiers. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/dark-matter-replicators The...

graphics are not intensive and a low to mid video card is plenty.

That's not entirely true. While it generally doesn't require much power, it can use a LOT of VRAM, which low end cards generally aren't going to have. 2GB is good. If you're running mods it can use a lot more.

The prototypes for boilers and assembling machines are very different - you can't just copy all the data and change the type to have it work. Boilers have their sprites defined in a structure property, assembling machines use an animation property, which have differences in how they are laid out.

While the zip file does have it's own separate game data directory, it still defaults to the same user data location, so that won't help, either, unless you edit the config-path.cfg file in the game data directory first to point to a different location before even firing it up. Windows version stan...

A player in single player mode has uninstalled (i.e. removed all files of) mod A. Mod A has just been turned off in a multiplayer game when a new player who hasn't installed the mod joins. In both cases, on_configuration_changed would still contain the info that there is an old, but no new version ...

Looks like you misspelled 'line_length' in all your attempts as 'lines_length'. That means the game is assuming these are all on one line.

You would think that will all the resources spent on porting this game to other platforms like switch (much different than pc, different control scheme, less powerful, architecture, etc) and mac, that could have been spent working on the actual expansion. If you actually read the FFF you'd know tha...

That's not a bug. Catalysts aren't included in production statistics, as they aren't really being produced or consumed. There are other reports about it around: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=69934&p=425349&hil ... st#p425349

Sounds like viewtopic.php?p=461762#p461762 though both directions at once is new.

Pretty sure the game generates chunks in a radius around the player, so once the player gets teleported it starts generating chunks, thus replacing what you made. You can set the chunks to generated to avoid it being changed (https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaSurface.html#LuaSurface.set_chunk_g...

It's probably because you play in peaceful mode, this disables achievements.

Peaceful mode only disables 4 achievements related to biters (either directly or because they're needed to make the goal challenging). It has no effect on any of the others.

Huh turns out you totally can put the vector outside the nominal bounds of the miner. Not sure if there's a limit, but you could certainly do the multiple miners in a row trick.

On Steam, there is beta branch (you can configure it in Factorio properties in Steam library) called "console". It will always match the latest console release, as they take much longer then our PC releases, so the versions probably won't be qble to keep up. That was an absolutely excelle...

This code grabs the value 'bp_entities' and then does nothing with it, while providing a parameter when the function doesn't take any. It's entirely superflous - maybe it was used for debugging at one point, but it really doesn't need to be there. Biggest issue is it keeps a copy of the return from ...

https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Ent ... cification does that. You can see a version of it on the electric miner - it highlights the given radius with the given sprite. I use it to illustrate the range of the fisheries, farms, and terraformers in Homeworld Redux.

Unfortunately, while we can compare LuaAPI of different Factorio versions, there is no history of the prototype definitions . Do you know whether item.stackable ever was a valid property? It's not really important (I've removed that from my WIP version), I'm just wondering how this ever got include...

That's a different kind of error message. You can't highlight anything in the load error box, so you can't copy it.

Thank you for the hint. "is_visible" means showing live to the player (always 25) in the map - or any radar (50 each, unless overlapping of course) Ooops copied the wrong one. It's the command above that one that checks if a force has charted a chunk: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/L...
