Since you can just spawn a sprite when the animation ends, so you can already do what you want, I am not seeing anything that would convince me to add this. i can do that but it requires me too track the state of all animations continuously. my thought was that since the animation itself already kn...

while i guess no answer probably means no, could i get a feedback on if this might happen or not?
This would help me with deciding how to implement the wanted behavior.

Add a flag to LuaRendering.draw_animation that makes the animation stop on the last (or a specified) frame and display this frame indefinitely. Usecase: I want to use draw_animation calls to add custom animations to a modded inserter and would like the animation to stop at each of the two endpoints ...

ok, thx!

I know the devs are working on a lot of different stuff right now, but i d still like to hear if this would be possible/ not possible/ maybe/ clarification needed/ somethingsomething...

If the animations field of an inserter prototype is not null use that instead off the current inserter drawing system. Usecase: I d like to create "loading cranes" for the cargo sips mod that dont use the standard inserter animations. I know that inserters next to swinging forth and back a...

How do you imagine this would be defined on the pump? Well i have no idea how the pump-train connections work internally, so i dont know if that feasible, but having an attribute like "train_connection_offset" in the ptotoype definiton, which is "0" for vanilla pumps and "1...

Just make the pump bigger?

I was thinking about that, but the thing is, that i only want one side (the one pointing towards the train) to be larger, but depending on the pumps orientation this can be either the input or the output.

Before the 0.17.55 update, it was possible to change the width of rail bounding boxes, and thereby allow pumps to connect to fluid wagons from a larger distance. Since this mechanic has been removed, it´d be nice to have the ability to set the connection distance of pumps via its prototype definitio...

While i wish there would be another solution, i to a 100% respect the decision of the devs to remove features that might cause future instabilities. It remains to be seen whether they will make accommodation for Cargo Ships, or if many of us will be stuck on 0.17.55 for modded games. The current ver...

From what I understand, Very Bad Things happen to a map if rail bounding boxes of any entity on the map changes. No one bad thing comes, it will be ignored or migrated. Incorrect. If the rails start getting merged when they weren't before it fails the consistency checks and the game will crash on l...

TL;DR The recent (0.17.56) change in the modability of rail bounding boxes breaks part of the cargo ships mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/cargo-ships) and i d be extremly happy if another solution could be found. What ? I am not sure what exact the issue the devs fixed with this change, but in t...

abused entity. ouch . but i wasn't aware of the script rendering, i will look into it! thanks!

I am creating a movable bridge for a train <-> ship crossing for my mod "cargo-ships". I used the power-switch entity because of it's easily triggerable on/off (open/close) animation. but a train driving over this entity is partly hidden by its graphics.

I know this has been asked a couple of times before, but it would be amazing if we were able to change the render layer of more objects. Personally i right now need to change the render layer of a modded "power-switch", and it would just make things so much easier. Please please please?

I would like to create cranes for loading and unloading ships from my mod "cargo ships". The cranes will be modded inserteres and will therefore need a similar set of sprites as the inserters in the base game. They will have a size of 2*3 or 2*4 While i've been creating some graphics for t...

I created a mod, that adds an entity that is placeable on water and contains: oil_rig.collision_mask = {'ground-tile', 'object-layer', "player-layer"} the addition of "player-layer" to the collision mask lead to me receiving multiple bug reports from users, that the entity is not...

When spawning a locomotive with the command surface.create_entity{name = "locomotive", direction = x, ...}, x=1(northeast) leads to a locomotive with the direction southwest, x=5(southwest) leads to a locomotive with the direction northeast.
All other values for x work correctly.

Thanks so much for taking the time to solve unexpected mod related issues like this one!

When i place a modded cargo_wagon with a joint_distance > ~9.5 on a diagonal track the game crashes with the error "85.483 Error RollingStock.cpp:974: Couldn't find the back joint rail". This does not happen when placing the same wagon on straight (south-north, west-east) tracks. I'm using...
