Yeah, I feel like it should be possible by making the entire sprite a "turret", but I don't know how to programmatically control turret direction. Also the missilecraft turret would no longer point correctly. And custom inputs (ie the arrow keys) don't keep firing, so you'd have to keep ta...

It has low friction, so you coast a good while, but no, drifty steering is on the (extended) to do list. It would probably be performance expensive too (every tick update)

Summary: Adds a hotkey to place landfill beneath your blueprint. Super useful for building ports, or dropping reactors in the middle of a lake. You can get the mod here . Features: Toggle a landfill footprint for any blueprint Respects items that should go over water (ie Offshore pump, modded conte...

Figured I should finally make a post for this. You can get the mod here . Basics: Not quite a car, ship, or airplane.. build your own hovercraft to explore over land and sea! The hovercraft is unlocked as green science tech, and requires plastic to build. It's less efficient, more fragile, and slowe...

I assume you're talking about factories already placed on the map getting rotated, not inside the cursor stack?

If nothing else, you could add a custom input tied to rotate commands, then look at what entity is under the cursor

I'd like to alter the behavior of the ghost rail planner. Currently, like a blueprint, pressing 'shift' during placement causes it to mark trees and rocks for deconstruction. I'd like to change what objects will be marked for deconstruction, specifically to have the rail ghosts take priority over ot...

Copy/Paste sounds great. Another thing I'd recommend, regardless of how it proceeds: there should be no empty BP items, only a button or infinite stack for a blank sheet. i.e. if you clear a BP then clear the cursor (press q) there's no reason to have empty BPs cluttering up inventory, library, hotb...

Game crashes when I attempt to load a save containing modded content, when those mods are disabled. It works fine when the mods are enabled. The savegame is attached here, I expect it to crash for anyone who loads it without the same mod configuration. Mods in use: Cargo Ships Hovercraft CanalBuilde...

when clicking the minimap

Didn't even know that was an option!

You can define a custom input to fire an event when they toggle map view. Something like: In data.lua local custom_input={ type = "custom-input", name = "my-custom-input", key_sequence = "", linked_game_control = "toggle-map", consuming = "none" } da...

You've identified some of the items that get modified under expensive mode. You have to indicate if this is the normal or expensive recipe: (For those items only)

This may not be a lunch break implementation, but it would be great, creatively, to have access to sprite shift values that are rotationally dependent (ie an array of 64 shift values). This would allow, for instance, vehicles with off-center or multiple turrets. This kind of already exists with the ...

For now working around this with a toggle hotkey for the hidden object, so non-corrupted blueprints can be exported (ie just toggle off the option again).

You can see the current implementation here: Blueprint Footprint

Still interested in better solutions to this though!

Glad you like it! Also good find, I'll fix that. Was your character in the train? The ripples are tied to the player position, so it's possible third-party mods that let the player go over water (like a train bridge) could incorrectly trigger them. If you could confirm, trains on autopilot shouldn't...

Setting a custom input on only the Ctrl key does not seem to trigger. i.e.: { type = "custom-input", name = "mn-custom-input", key_sequence = "CONTROL", consuming = "none" }/code] Is this a bug or a known "feature"? Switching it with "CONTROL + ...

Hi all, I'm trying to modify a blueprint as it's placed. Specifically, I want to insert landfill underneath the entities. I have a custom input set on "SHIFT + mouse-button-1" to intercept the BP placement, and add the ground tiles. The issue is if the entire BP is over water, no entities ...

TroZ wrote: I also realize that offshore pumps or similar entities will be an issue for me currently, but there should be something I can look at in their prototype that lest me know that they need to be placed on water, so I can adjust the tile under them as necessary. I just haven't gone that far...

Not cleanly anyway.
You could add new entities (i.e. quarry1, quarry2, etc) with different stats, and replace the quarries in play upon researching the upgrade.

Which means that player collision mask can be changed contrary to what OP said Yeah, seems I was just doing it wrong. With that in mind, final fix is below. It avoids the original stated problem by assigning an extra collision mask ("layer-12") to the character, any vehicles other than th...

I don't think the character collision mask is exposed in data.raw, but I believe it's just "player-layer", i.e. the character collides with anything else having the mask. I tried adding one of the unused masks to the player and water tile but not vehicle, but it doesn't seem to let you add...
