Oh, cool, I must have missed that when I was browsing the documentation. Thanks for pointing that out!

Overriding the native autosave functionality would work for what I want to do, but my preference would be for my mod to be subordinate to the existing functionality instead of replacing it. i.e ...

Hi folks!

I'm pleased to release my first mod: Autosave-Alert

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/autosave-alert

It's quite simple - just prints out a message 5, 2 and 1 minute before the next autosave, provided you've set the correct interval in the mod settings. it defaults to 10m (which i believe is ...

I've published an initial verson of my mod here, just for context: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/autosave-alert

I've published a first version of the mod here: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/autosave-alert

Hopefully the native setting can get exposed through the API soon and it can be completey automated!

Great! Thanks for the help. I do tend to overestimate how bad performance impacts are, so I'm glad to have that reality check!

I did implement this , and it did seem to work without the offset being a divisor of the interval though (e.g. autosave interval at 5 minutes, warnings at 2 and 1 minute ...

Hey folks,

I'm still working on my autosave warning mod, and I've figure out a way to trigger the warnings, but my programmer-sense makes me think there might be a better way.

First, defining the problem:

I want to trigger an alert at some time before the autosave interval (assume the autosave ...

good idea! did viewtopic.php?f=28&t=105987

Hi folks!

I'm attempting to implement a simple 'autosave warning' mod (asked some stuff about it here https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=105968), and the only thing preventing me from making it fully integrated is accessing the native autosave interval option. If that could be exposed ...

Just confirmed, autosave interval behaviour is a simple 'save at time played % autosave interval == 0`.

My method, for posterity:

0) start creative mode game
1) as suggested above, `/c game.time = 100`
2) observe a couple 5-minute (default) autosaves (so most recent autosave is at 15:00)
3) `/c ...

Yeah, I'll see if the interval is a simple modulo or more of a counter since the last one. If thats the case then I just need to get the autosave interval

Hi folks,

(actual question underlined if you want to skip the context)

I have an idea for a small mod I want to implement: an autosave warning system. I like the autosave system, but it often happens at an inopportune time. One thing I like about Satisfactory is that it gives you a bit of a ...

Thanks, I'll check that out.

It's ironic you're recommending Raiguard's mods, actually. I wanted to contribute to one of them and was asking about it on github but they said they wanted to completely refactor them. Makes sense though - the better a software engineer is, the more likely they won't ...

Hey folks,

I've been wanting to get more into modding lately, and I learn best by analyzing examples, so I'm looking for some examples of especially well-implemented mods that I can learn best practices and higher-level design from - I already know basic lua and programming, I really just need ...

in FFF#362 https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-362 it's mentioned that the `E` hotkey has been redefined to mean 'confirm' instead of `cancel` which is bound by default to `Esc`. I'm working on a mod where there's a pop-up gui, and I'd like it to respect this convention. I've got it handling `on_gui ...

I'm trying to install this mod, but it isn't showing up in the in-game mod manager. I tried searching for it, but it doesn't show up. Is there some trick to getting it? (I'm on steam, not opted into betas at all, all other mods uninstalled)


Krastorio is for v18. If you're not in the betas you ...

I'm not epileptic myself, but I'd welcome any mod or even official support for this. I play most games with a lot of accessibility features on because they just feel better. I think it's because they let me interact with the game on my own terms, no matter the reason for those terms.

edit: Much better ideas have been proposed. Just cleaning up after myself

Great news! Copy and Paste is something I've wanted so much, but didn't think would ever come because a blueprint item does the job really well. I never even thought about *cut* and paste, and that is game-changingly good.

I'm especially pleased to hear about the research queue. This sounds like a ...
