...but it's really easy to fix...you can even copy pasta CppSim for inspiration

Came across a really strange behavior that brought a whole refinery to a halt...production-output-wise.
Apparently, factorio doesn't have a graceful way of handling parallel pipes, or when pipes might form loops.

Anyways, I've boiled it down to the attached scenario
once you start it, you'll need ...

crickets?...?

This would be nice, can certainly allow for text field validation:
i.e. as a player is typing, filter out all non-numeric characters

That button in the combinator gui that lets you select a signal including the special {Each, Everything, Anything} or enter a number.
How can I add it to a mod?

I guess 69151 should have been posted here instead.

End results I'm looking for is to have a new level of combinator that would make circuit networks significantly less stressful.

I've got a simple gui mockup below, but getting control logic to run on_tick and perform well with large games is proving to be a challenge.
This would be a very good ...

How can I instance a signal or number button like you see in a combinator entity gui, and control the appearance of {Each, Anything, Everything}?

Thanks, updating the styles seems to do it.


Side-note: calling clear on a gui root element will delete all modded guis attached to that root element. Please don't do that.


How would you recommend I do it? Also, is there an automated way to have the gui close when a player hits [Esc] or selects ...

I'm trying to recreate the combinator gui, and in the process, I can't get the entity-preview element to work... at all


Simple test code below, guiImgEnt is the entity-preview element, and it doesn't do diddly.
What am I screwing up? HELP!

function MakeGUI(player, entity)
player.gui.center ...

Since there's no way to scroll the ingame console, is there a way to save all ingame console text to a file?
I couldn't find anything in the wiki or in the forums.

This crash happened while in the scenario editor, playing around with entity properties.

Command that crashed it was:
/c game.print(game)
Yes, I know that it will normally display an error

Auto updater seems to be working since 0.17.10

Close thread?

boy, wouldn't it be nice to be able to have a comment text field ingame for placed items?
Think of it like the Factorio version of code comments or Doxygen.

Doesn't this just make it so much easier to revisit and modify old blueprints?

@Posila

No longer a problem as of 0.17.*
When paused or minimized, it now hums at barely 3% of a single core.
Actually the whole game is now much less CPU intensive than before, and not too many noticeable bugs.
Whatever you did, keep up the good work

@Koub

Is there an ETA for when the incremental updater will be fixed in the new 0.17.* release?

Yeah, plus, with fewer delays, the z^-1 analysis becomes slightly more bearable to achieve a stable feedback control system

One of the big notes I've taken away from the mod documentation is to minimize the amount of processing workload in any OnTick event handlers.
...but there are still things that need to be done on a tick, and fast.

So I guess a few questions are necessary to help better understand the tradeoffs ...

@Koub Apologies, it was just a practical explanation as to why spin counters are overkill.

To stay on topic, even 0.16.51 continues to melt the cpu while the game is paused or in main menu.
from @posila, i got the impression that this bug was going to be fixed at some point, just unsure if it's ...

So is there any way to override the built-in UI for a custom arithmetic combinator?

I see https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_mod_item_opened, but when setting "can_be_mod_opened=1" in either the entity or item definition to data.raw, nothing seems to happen later on
