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

Have you considered adding an option to switch between the GUI vs combinator logic?

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 a...

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 functionality o...

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.

That has a wire-count. But I don't know what will happen, if you set this to one.

PS You may find it useful to join the discord server and ask in #mod-making. Lots of helpful people there and you may find that you get quicker answers with easier back-and-forth!

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. Showing speed edit: https://streamable.com/0af9eq showing the process of handling many belts (3,4k) https://streamable.com/ahtw8s Of course there is still much to do, I see I forgot to show the splitters and underground-belts. To the Performance: At the moment I can't get o...

does it work for modded belts from ExpressBus?

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.

Yes, when an event is triggered, it happens immediately. Factorio is (mostly) single-threaded and everything happens in sequence.

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 only...

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 dat...

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 array. at...

If your table is an array then you can use a more "typical" for loop: I can't do this because I need to access the belt's with the position data, to figure out, with which belt the player interacts. But I could store the position data in an array and access the entities via this array. In...

Belt speed is just changeable runtime so i'm not sure how this would be of any use to you. I am not sure, if I understood your answer right, maybe I missed the context because englisch isn't my primary language. So, can you change the Belt_speed while in-game? That's what I have understood from you...

Today's question: Start a for-loop for a table from a specific entry

this is, how I call the loop Is there a way to start from a specified position ore do I need to create a table, for every, let's say 100 entities?
