Any chance we could get e.g. gui.bottom_right so we can paint over it without hacking guessing pos and size?

I'd actually use that area of the screen for a few things myself not even just covering it.

Can you do a big hack and draw a GUI. Screen something over it?

So that e.g. they can be aligned with rails.

Hey, could we get:
from https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/RollingStock

to be available from LuaEntityPrototype?

Thanks!

Similar to the settings>graphics>clouds option, but ideally per-surface.

(Current workaround is to set daytime = 0.5 and freeze_daytime = true and then spam lights)

The wiki says:

string or table of string (optional)

But on startup, if given a string, the game says:

Right, so this brings us all the way back to the start.

Is there an entity that supports 4way sprites that does not have a GUI (or at least, an empty one like an accumulator)?

I can do it with LuaRendering but that would, I assume, suck.

LuaRendering.draw_circle appears to ignore color.alpha and blends using additive mode, so overlapping circles end up saturating.

Is there a way to change blend mode / force use of alpha?

This seems to return the entity rather than the gui though (unless I am going completely mad...)

That has a GUI already associated with it though?

Is the correct thing to do check player.selected every few ticks, close the default gui (if open) and open my custom gui?


You can just listen to on_gui_opened:

How do I get the ...

Thanks Klonan!

Optera, if I set operable to false, can I still open my own gui when the player clicks on the entity?

Hi,

If I want an entity/prototype to extend that supports 4way sprites but doesn't have any special logic like an assembly machine, which entity would I use?

Thanks, you are bobing amazing.

Hi, it looks like the insert_position for the inserters has changed.

I can get the regular express and long inserters working by changing the insert_position from 0.65 and 1.65 to 0.5 and 1.5 (which matches the current inserters in the base game).

Not much much luck with the near and far inserters ...
