Unmodded Factorio 2.0, pressing "R" to rotate the gun turret (or the laser turret) when they're in an idle state produces a rotation some of the time.

They added it as a modding option, rather than a vanilla feature. Almost a week ago.

Now that the frenzy of dev work after the initial launch seems to be calming down... bump? :D

Hi,

I've looked into it and it appears to be one of the ü in the Mod description. If you erase or re-type it, it should not crash the game anymore.

Also, the mod just straight up doesn't work even if you manage to load it in. The API has changed between 1.1 and it seems Armor-MK4 has not been ...

I've attached a mod with sprites for debugging purposes.

Whenever I load the mod portal it filters for 1.1.

All transport belt sprite sheets can be aligned to one another, as they all share a common sequence of 8 frames to advance the belt one full position. If you watch the turbo transport belt, there is a slight stutter in the animation playback that is occasionally visible.

This is the offending ...

As an addendum, I will note that:

There is nothing stopping a player without Space Age from finding the Space Age constrained mod on the Mod Portal and downloading it, and modifying it locally.

Interesting, especially the "rail interaction" part. Any details/docs?

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 want to ...
