Modding Added LoaderPrototype::allow_rail_interaction and allow_container_interaction. Interesting, especially the "rail interaction" part. Any details/docs? Does "containers" also include non-container entities with an inventory, e.g. crafting machines? When did native loaders ...

Would it be fine to build "addon mods," as it were, which piggyback off the library and other bob's mods code, without actually containing any of that code within themselves? There's some convenient functions in there that would be nice to work with while I'm starting out, but I don't wan...

if the number of replies and views are any indication, i think most people have forgotten about the plans to release DLC for Factorio. 63% more replies and 7000 less views than the Friday Facts from last June, and 30%/57% the number of views/replies as the Friday Facts announcing their future plans...

Just sayin', "master/slave" is hella racist nomenclature

It's not. You've been conditioned to jump at shadows, and are doing so now.

I like Factorio a lot, but €30,- is really too steep in my opinion. €10,- makes sense, making it at least cheaper than the actual game. If the content and feature set is comparable to the base game, €30 is reasonable. Given the reputation of the development team, €30 is almost certainly reasonable....

I don't see how using the terms you're upset about in the way that the mod author does (to essentially indicate that the next version of the modpack will turn it up to the nth degree) a) advocates drug usage, and b) is selling drugs.

You may need to chill.

And have a gander at this.

Hm, if free crafting without modifying recipe prototypes is a function of cheat mode, then there may not be a way to do what you want. BUT: If you don't mind modifying recipe data, then in data-final-fixes you can just iterate over the recipes and zero out the ingredients. Since you say this is test...

Pretty sure you can use the creative mod and just disable the instant craft parameter.

https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/CraftingMachine#match_animation_speed_to_activity When omitted from a prototype definition, the animation speed of machines correlate to crafting speed and are affected by modules. Which would seem to suggest that the default is actually "true", not &quo...

*) crafting machines have property "match_animation_speed_to_activity" ... which changes this behavior

Ah! Perfect. This is why I included the problem attempting to solve. Thanks for this!

Title. Specifically with `always_draw = true` to override the animation disappearing when idle. Expected behavior: When the machine is idle, animations pause, even if `constant_speed` is set to `true`. Actual behavior: The animation plays, always, idle or not, powered or not. Speculation: The animat...

Under the crafting machine prototype property "fluid_boxes" is the parameter "off_when_no_fluid_recipe" . It would be very convenient to have that as a parameter in "working_visualisations" as well. Specifically I would like to be able to place sprites over adjacent pip...

Done, and done. Made a cute save and mod just for this, since the particular main mods are as-yet unreleased. Requires Angel's Refining. Edit: I forgot how slow my upload is to Factorio servers (an issue of itself, given I have 1 gbps up/down...) and hit submit before the attachments were finished...

On left, the Angel's clarifier (furnace), next to the Angel's strand casting machine (assembling machine).

Clearly abandoned

Naw, they're just working on the expansion and have mentioned they won't be doing Friday Facts on a regular basis anymore. They're still quite active, patching bugs, adding mod interfaces, talking on forums, discord, etc.

Current behavior with sync mods with save is that you can enable mods that are in the save only. To add mods to the save, you have to first sync mods with the save, restart the game, and then enable additional mods, which then requires another restart. If would be amazing if it were possible to sync...

And it is so special, generic sprite definition can't do it ... so you can't replicate it in working visualization.

I've managed to come close with some alpha blending in the sprites.

Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it.

What does this mean? Drawn by tile renderer when water animation is enabled. From: https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/OffshorePump#graphics_set The goal here is to replicate this graphics_set with an assembling-machine prototype using working visualisations, but I have no idea what that means/impli...
