Did you test script effect spoil items? I wonder if the original is accesible.

Re: Separate the 2 functions of "catalyst_amount" into 2 parameters

The whole vanilla case for the catalyst system was to allow the K process to work properly with prod. If the new params are bools, doesn't that break that intent?
Unless they are meant to be used in duplicate results entries? Aka

Re: Friday Facts #393 - Putting things on top of other things


I dunno, gonna be honest this is the first one that's had me kinda worried. Now a 2 wagon train can outperform 8 wagon trains. This feels like a very big move towards scale up rather than scale out, and scaling out has always been where Factorio's emergent complexity, the part that makes the game ...

Re: Friday Facts #391 - 2023 recap

The ability to go to manage mods if an issue is detected is all well and good, but there is one more aspect that needs to be implemented: mod settings.
Sometimes an error in the setup can only be resolved by flipping a mod setting to some value, which if I understand the new system correctly, would ...

Re: Chart tag using localised strings

If the whole thing is treated is one block, instead of text, if would act the same regardless of which language it's translated to. Internally, it would still be known as it's rich text alias.

[1.1.88] Crash of headless in HR mode if any sprite over SR pixel limit

Seems like dedicated servers don't care to increase their sprite size limit when set to HR mode, while still loading the HR graphics.
See picture: loading HR graphics, yet the sprite size limit is 2048.

Re: Remove Expensive Mode

How many mods actually take advantage of Expensive mode, anyway? I know SE doesn't, and we just have to work around it.
I know K2 implements it through mod settings, AKA similarly to how it's going to work in the future it seems.
Any others?

If it's really underused, I'm all for trimming a ...

Re: What happens if the train id exceeds the limit?

Can you implement a check that makes sure if the id is not occupied when assigning a new ID? This should fix most of the problems... Is it performance heavy?

[Rsed] When taking an item out from the item-with-inventory using the hotbar, it gets put into the character inventory

When taking an item out from the item-with-inventory using the hotbar, it gets put into the character inventory. Also, any future attempts will take a new stack from the item-with-inventory, instead of taking it out of the character inventory since it's already there.

Often a picture is drawn with a white background behind it and you can't draw a transparent background
You need to edit it with an editor that supports transparent colors. There are free ones out there you can use.

Re: Licensing question about interactions between mods

Personally, I don't believe such a license is viable, but the question came up, so I want to have a semi-reliable thread to point to in case it does so again.
Hopefully a dev, or someone high up there, can pop in and give a more or less definitive answer.

Is it possible for a mod's license to protect it's entities, recipes, items, technologies, etc, from being altered by a third party mod through factorio's data.raw table?

I though it was fixed at 1.1.37?
inserters can now pull out from the main output and burnt result inventory of an entity.
