Yep, mod portal issue again. Mod is up now.

So... got the official version updated now too, with slightly reworked settings GUI handling. The mod portal won't let me upload anything at the moment though, it's just returning "Error: name 'newfilename' is not defined (code: 500)" which kinda sounds like an internal server error. Not s...

I'll at least take a look at making the mod work with the current version of Factorio again shortly.

If you create underground belts of the right type not too far apart and facing the right way, they should connect automatically.

LuaSurface.create_entity

It's just type, not belt_to_ground_type.

First of all, nice work! I had a very similar mod idea and found this when looking for existing solutions. Thanks! Hope it's useful for you. Some remarks: * Ideally, this would behave just like the rail planner, e.g. yellow arrows apearing as you hover your cursor on a belt, then shift click to ent...

If you are still making changes, I would like to see an option to put the planner back into the player's hand when the 'create ghosts' button is pressed. Would make building multiple rows of belts so much better. So an addition to the continuous build mode that lets you select a new start position ...

Because there's no "cooper-ore" in the game...

Version 0.13.0

• game.local_player has been renamed to game.player and now works through remote calls.

My guess would be historical reasons, from when fluids didn't exist yet and type = "item" was implicit. Updating things would be work, so it stays like it is.

Why can't I place a ghost of the planner entity? You know, you can place ghosts from map to anywhere. That was the straight forward way to implement things (per-player path finder settings, matching up start and end marker) but I might have a look at how to make that work in the future. ...after I ...

There is no way to create a background thread with the modding API.

You'd need to only process a few iterations of the loop per tick, then keep the state around in global for further processing the next tick. I'm doing something like this in the Automatic Belt Planner mod.

Can't reproduce. data.lua: data:extend({ { type = "custom-input", name = "Eco", key_sequence = "SHIFT + R", consuming = "script-only" } }) control.lua: script.on_event("Eco", function(event) game.players[event.player_index].print("foo") end...

"base" in game.active_mods (assuming the base mod is enabled, which is somewhat likely)

game.recipe_prototypes
game.item_prototypes

That really won't make a difference there.

So... Error while loading entity prototype "Single_house" (assembling-machine): Key "crafting_categories" not found in property tree at ROOT.assembling-machine.Single_house Pretty much what it sounds like. Your "Single_house" prototype definition is missing the "cr...

You mean create lots of prototypes? Something like health = { 5, 10, 20 } damage = { 7, 15, 25 } for i = 1, #health do new_biter = table.deepcopy(data.raw.unit["small-biter"]) new_biter.name = "new-biter-" .. i new_biter.max_health = health[i] new_biter.attack_parameters.ammo_typ...

Yes. (Be sure to check for nil since it's optional.)
