Alright, thanks. I'll keep an I on the GPU, maybe I can find a hardware issue.

But till now I didn't find anything in the device manager or the windows event log's. There isn't even a fault message or anything for the disabled monitor.

Yeah, I did that already.
I don't think it's a hardware issue, cause I don't have this kind of issue with any other game, like Cyberpunk and so on.

I also forced it to use the internal Intel graphics card instead of the Nvidia card, but got the exact same result.

How I mentioned at the edit I ...

Hi everyone,

After a longer time I came back to factorio again with a newer laptop.
While playing, my screen sometimes shows falsly rendered frames, like at the old TVs with the stripes.
That goes on for some time till, after around 20 minutes The game freezes and gets stuck with one of those ...

Ok. I hoped that they would be handled like a normal GUI.
But thank you very much anyways.

I didn't considered this yet. So thank you for the hint.
I think I will add an Option for this.

Hello dear developers,

I tried for my mod to set up a similar GUI, like the Base-GUI for the circuit logic.
For this I also tried to set up the second condition, where you can choose a constant number.
There it seems, that the "Or set a constant" window a separate GUI element is, that is attached ...

Hi everyone,

I am setting up the GUI for my mod, so that you could control the belt-speed with a circuit-network. At the moment it looks like this:
Screenshot 2021-02-05 091424.png
The belts slow every 60 ticks down or speeds up every 60 ticks, the condition is true. Is that too much ...

They added on_research_reversed viewtopic.php?f=3&t=95683

Is there a way to add a circuit network condition ore do I have to do this with an own gui and control-script?

Did you set the connection points before trying it?
Just an idea.

https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Item.
That has a wire-count. But I don't know what will happen, if you set this to one.

Thank you very much, i forgot to show there.

Can I set the item in the player hand?

Is there in the control.lua a way, to set the Item, the player has in the hand?
the cursor_stack is read only https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... rsor_stack
This would be nice, that the player can use the pipette

There are the new videos.

Of course there is still much to do, I see I forgot to show the splitters and underground-belts.

This mod will bring in a complete new type of belt, it won't make all belt's editable in this way. So it shouldn't collide, but I will test it.

So that would mean, it makes no runtime difference when I do something in the on_tick event with an if_condition or fire an event, that run's the same code?

I want to give you a short update, how my mod Development goes.

Since opening this topic and showing the video, I implemented a few major new features.

You can now edit the Belt speed with a gui, before placing it
The energy-consumption depends on the speed (at the moment (items/sec)^2/100, but ...

Just a short, general question.
If I have an Event, tries Factorio to run the event code in the same tick the event is fired? Or are the ticks not relevant for running the event-code?

So on the first look it seems to me, that this is what you search. But the problem could be, that you can only use the keys, represented on the wiki. At least I don't know, how to add some. I was told, that this isn't possible.

I store additional data also in a seperate table, using the position ...

Sorry; I meant to say setting belt speeds runtime is *not* possible.


How you maybe saw in the vid, I decided to use create_entity to make it possible, At the moment I am creating the line-detection.
And that's the point where it would be nice, to get at least the positions of the belts in ...
