Request: Please add some means from within the API to selectively disable the world map for players and forces. Background: Currently, the World Map is toggled via the M key and produces no API Event that can be consumed to force close the it's GUI, nor is there an API setting to disable it's displa...

Given the removal of the only minable simple-entity wreckage (minable-wreckage), there are some issues with alternatives given their inconsistencies. simple-entity such as small-ship-wreck, medium-ship-wreck and big-ship-wreck-#, are not minable by default, and can only be made that way by changing ...

crash-site-space-ship-wreck-small-# can be placed rotated but image is not supported The create_entity method can place a simple-entity-with-owner such as crash-site-spaceship-wreck-small-1 and set the direction to something other than north. The direction will change in the information, as well as ...

No luck in making these simple-entity-with-owner (crash-site-spaceship-wreck-small-#) animate when mined. Doesn't seem to work with the container entities as well. Is the character mining animation hard coded to simple-entity and resource only? Or is there some thing it's looking for in the prototyp...

Would like to see ability to toggle mining animation for crash-site-spaceship-wreck-small-#. With the removal of minable-wreckage in 1.1.0 there is no similar wreckage item that displays the mining animation for the player when the player right clicks on the wreckage. The recommendation is to have t...

If you have a burner-inserter facing into a chest and place a piece of coal inside the fuel slot of its inventory, it will be consumed, but if the burner-inserter is not facing a container, it is not consumed. Shouldn't this behavior be consistent regardless of connectivity? Place a chest and two bu...

Can we get an "on_robot_repaired_entity" API event so we can detect when a robot repairs an entity, similar to what we have for players?

Try to get a corpse for a player that died. In the latest experimental version [0.18.18] I've tried using the on_post_entity_died event to get the corpses table, but the corpses table is nil. When handling the on_post_entity_died event, the corpses table is not populated with a character-corpse for ...

How come there is "trees" autoplace-control and not "rocks" autoplace-control for the simple-entity being generated?
If it's being generated on the map, why is "rocks" not controllable in the GUI under the Terrain tab like "trees".
Seems inconsistent.

Seems like the Atlas sprites window (Ctrl+F3) is not bound by the extends of the display and scrollable in the horizontal direction. This is on 0.18.17 version.

Is there a way to get the creation tick for a specific entity?

I understand characters have tick_of_last_damage and tick_of_last_attack, but looking for something that would tell me for a particular unit, on what tick it was created to get sort of an "age" of it.

Seems like if something doesn't work well, a redesign or rewrite would be in order. But then again I suppose sometimes you have to favor the schedule over perfection. If needed I could make a mod for the scenario that contains the game specific noise values to generate. But putting game play specifi...

Is it possible to add an API method that would allow creating a noise expression / noise function that could be accessed at runtime? I'd like to offload a lot of noise generation in my scenario to code running natively rather than in lua, and I understand there is some built-in stuff for this with n...

Would like to see the ability for the server name to store more than 50 characters. It currently reads the name from the server-settings.json, and truncates the name to 50 characters for the purposes of displaying in the server list. This does not take into account and rich text formatting. I would ...

How does one generate a random seed for a map that is created by using the --scenario2map command line option? It doesn't seem to be looking at the data/map-gen-settings.json file and it's seed value. Nor does a scenario created with it have any means to use a randomly generated seed value in the ma...

Sweet!

I have since resolved this issue.

LuaSurface::spill_item_stack doesn't spill onto belts any more. This was a very useful feature in 0.16.51 and was widely used for scenarios where turrets would drop coins when killing biters. Please investigate, because the way 0.17.23 is handling doesn't make sense logically.

017.23, I'm still getting 'Server not responding' message to all users when autosave occurs in non-blocking mode. It is so ridiculous, I've had all players get the watchdog dialog to exit or reconnect. The performance of saving in general is much worse than 16.51. Anytime a player joins the delay fo...

Would it be possible to include a command line option for the client and server to allow toggling 'heavy' mode right from the start? I have been debugging a desync issue with my scenario for close to two weeks, and just recently found out about the /toggle-heavy-mode command for the console. However...
