Naming of scale_with_zoom parameter. scale_with_zoom = true implies that the scale/size of the rendered text changes, while it works the opposite way around.

It is possible that I'm just somehow misinterpreting the meaning of scale_with_zoom.

That's what I was afraid of (signed distance fields for font rendering); I've dabbled with font rendering myself a bit before.

Would it be possible to add an additional parameter to the font prototype as a workaround to control internal resolution of the distance field for a specific font?

info.json to add new font to the locale: { "language-name": "English", "font": { "tux-display": [ "__TuxControls__/fonts/TuxDisplay.ttf" ] } } The prototype: data:extend{ { type = "font", name = "tux-display", from = "tux-dis...

From documentation:
If the parameter is true then it's always the same size. In other words, it never scales, which is the opposite of what scale_with_zoom means.

Factorio fails to render fonts correctly when using game.rendering API to render some text with a custom font: Screenshot_20190503_215839.png All of these round-ish things seen in the screenshot should be rectangles. I'm attaching sample font that exhibits issue. I've observed this problem with seve...

Fair enough. I was a bit optimistic that the change would be super easy to implement, but it's hard to estimate it without knowing how stuff is done on Factorio side. In the end, I've implemented my own concept of element name and achieved the behavior I wanted. I appreciate you taking time to respo...

I've written a sizable widget framework that introduces a concept of a "Widget". Multiple factorio elements can be bound to a single widget. All events from bound elements are delivered to a corresponding widget. Within each widget I use LuaGuiElement.name to differentiate between differen...

It would be nice if there was a way to temporarily grab keyboard and/or mouse events (similarly to the way focused text fields intercept most of keystokes). This event grab could be implemented by adding an additional lua event and a LuaPlayer.grab_input_events(grab_keyboard, grab_mouse) (or similar...

It would be useful if LuaGuiElement allowed creating multiple child elements with the same name. This would be useful in tables, where (for example) two columns are reserved for buttons. All buttons in the same column could have the same name. To differentiate multiple buttons with the same name, Lu...

Right now LuaGuiElement.add inserts newly created child elements at the end of the parent. It would be nice if there was a way to control where newly created elements are inserted. This would be especially useful when implementing tables, whose contents can change dynamically. Right now it seems tha...

Steps to reproduce the crash (on linux):
1. Open sound settings
2. Press Ctrl+C in terminal to cause a SIGINT

I've experienced a reproducible crash in relation to on_pre_ghost_deconstucted.

I've attached my mods folder, the save that causes the crash and the log.

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. Load save "A2".
2. Use deconstruction planner to deconstruct any of the 6 placed ghosts.

It's entirely possible that I misunderstand some internal details about how this works on C++ side, however, the way I imagine it works (at least regarding electrical network) is this: 1. When player puts down an entity that uses electricity (say, an assembler), the game searches nearby area for ove...

I realize that they are completely different things. I'm probably being not 100% clear in what i mean. Right now it's possible to connect an entity (say, a decider combinator) to a circuit network by manually connecting it with wire to some existing network. It is also possible to do that with LuaEn...

Right now the main way to connect an entity to electric/logistic network is to use LuaEntity.connect_neighbour I propose adding additional methods to LuaEntity or appropriate control behaviors that allow connecting entities directly to specified: LuaCircuitNetwork LuaLogisticNetwork electric network...

I propose the following methods:

• network_id read for LuaLogisticNetwork
• get_logistic_network_by_id or similar (for LuaGameScript?)
• get_circuit_network_by_id or similar (for LuaGameScript?)

Factorio crashes with the following steps:
1. Define a new programmable-speaker entity with instruments = {}
2. Place that entity somewhere on the ground
3. Clicking it causes the crash

I'd like to request adding force_connect to LuaEntity.connect_neighbour, so connect_neighbour would ignore wire_max_distance. Ideally this should allow to connect two poles across surfaces, like it's possible to do now with circuit connections. That way power could be transferred across surfaces wit...

It's currently impossible to procedurally connect power switches using Lua.connect_neighbour. It should be probably allowed.

Right now the way to bulk transfer a signal from one place to another by using Lua API is: 1. Manually read the input signal from some entity. 2. Write the result to a constant combinator using control_behavior.parameters = {parameters = signals} This, unfortunately has 2 limitations: 1. There is no...
