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.

For my purposes, I only need the setting's `localised_name` and/or `localised_description` to be accessible during data.

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'm 99.9% sure that the answer is no, but someone asked a question about a mod's license possibility of reading 'the mod must not...

That's too bad, this means I have to record data for both states in the description.

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.

I want to modify my setting's localised description, to show certain values that will be useful for the player to define their settings (since the effect depends on the length of the longest technology dependency chain). But the data.raw table is not accessible, and the setting itself only provides ...

So there is at least 1 mod that's aware of this feature. This is 1 more than I thought there was.

How does tech/recipe difficulty handle the default fields? namely, localised name/localised description. I'm making a mod which adjusts the cost of technologies based on their position in the tech tree, but since normal and expensive mode can have different tech trees, having a single description fo...

Ohhh this seems like a violent type of expansion. That would be cool. The general goal is to make the expansion feel like as big an addition as the whole vanilla game. This is why we plan to price it at $30.00, and put in enough content to make it well worth the price. This means that for a new pla...

(character can now walk in-between connected reactors) Nice. Could you consider an option to place other entity in the space? You know the 5x5 reactor square could make insane neighbour bonus and challenge to make plant work properly. :geek: Since it would either make the reactor effectively 3x3, o...

I'm surprised that nobody reported the music not looping for so long.
Then again, I noticed it and didn't report it, too, so perhaps?

Also, considering the default delays in the music while playing, perhaps some people assumed it's intended?

I've been trying to give my projectiles a color, but it doesn't seem to work right.
The prototype browser sprite preview DOES show them to be tinted, but if you actually look at the layer, there's no fields related to tinting, and the projectiles themselves have no tint in the overworld.

TML is not an official project by the team, it's a fan project that they are providing a bit of support to.

Removing the G allowed a call of string.find (). This looks to me like gfind is not included in the factorio string library pack.

That probabalistic output block bug was quite annoying for me.
good to see it's gone.

Does the factorio lua lib contain that function? I can't call it during data.

You could also iterate over all transport-belt type entities and find their item-to-place-this, no?

I honestly have no idea why the garbage collector went bonkers, just that it did. Without the mod, it's at 0.9. With the mod, it's over 900.
Also, it seems like it already has picker compatibility so I won't have to deal with that.

I can see why it would be bad... That mod renders 4 lights per entity basically

I'd guess that making animation for units is a lot more effort than making animations for buildings.
