for k, x in ipairs(data.raw.module) do … end This version doesn't work, the mod will successfully load but none of the modules change their effects, not even the vanilla ones. Any advice on how to do this? Try this instead: for k, x in pairs(data.raw.module) do … end You can use 'ipairs' for arrays...

I was thinking more about human NPCs, but I am happy to see that it seems possible! Technically, the cats and dogs are of the 'unit' type (same as biters/spitters). This should make it possible to order them to move to another position. Of course, it would also be possible to use NPCs of type 'char...

Also, I have not found any mod adding non enemy creatures, but does anyone knows one from a previous version ?

Do you mean something like cats or dogs?

I'd read it the same way yeah. Publishing a fork that fixes a compatibility issue should not break this license.

Good! I've just got the next report related to SchallTankWoodcutting (this time without SchallTransportGroup) loading before autodrive, so it seems I must make a fork after all.

The wobble isn't an animation, it is the spidertron actually physically moving in a wobbly way to another coordinate. It's basically a fairly simple physical model where the legs and body are attached with simulated springs. […] The wobble isn't really programmed in, and it might be tricky to remov...

I guess the only other solution is to mark it incompatible in your mod :cry: Yes, probably. I thought I could get away with just blacklisting the vehicle from SchallTankWoodcutting, but the mod doesn't create a new car prototype! Instead, it acts on impact damage caused by any vehicle with vehicle....

The game figures out the dependency chain length of each mod (as in: what is the longest dependency chain for a mod that needs to load before it can load) and then loads mods from the shortest chain length to the longest. Mods that have the same dependency chain length are sorted based on their int...

One of my mods was reported to crash in the handler for on_entity_damaged because another mod had destroyed event.entity of the previous event (if damage_type is "impact", on_entity_damaged will first run for the damaged entity by event.cause, then the event will be raised again for event....

The documentation for healing_per_tick says: "The entity must be active for this to work". What does that mean? See here : Deactivating an entity will stop all its operations (car will stop moving, inserters will stop working, fish will stop moving etc). Entities that are not active natur...

Can one manage multiple tanks at the same time? Autodrive is one of the mods that allow players to control multiple vehicles simulataneously. However, it's not possible to let vehicles drive in formation as each vehicle will request its own path (depending on starting position and vehicle size -- w...

Thank you, that sounds reasonable! So I can save myself the trouble to add reloading of equipment.

How can I handle the situation where an entity gets moved, like with Picker Dollies or another mod or script? Picker Dollies will raise a custom event when it's moving an entity. From its info page: In your mods on_load and on_init events add: if remote.interfaces["PickerDollies"] and rem...

My mod Autodrive allows to automatically refuel vehicles and refill their ammo slots. When it is refueling vehicles, it also tries to refuel equipment items in the vehicle grid. I know that LuaEquipmentPrototype can have attack_parameters if the equipment is an ActiveDefenseEquipmentPrototype. I sup...

Yes! I've noticed those mods as well. They are quite a nuisance as they show up in all reverse dependencies. I want to know what mods link back to mine, so that I can check whether I need to add compatibility code. But such mods that depend on all the mods on the mod portal just make that useless. M...

Once upon a time, when Factorio 0.17 was still state of the art, there was a mod for auto-generating rails. According to this discussion thread, the mod would still work in Factorio 1.1.41 after "factorio_version" was changed in info.json.

That's just how all prototype properties are. It's a flaw in the documentation generation system. Last time I asked, the answer was along the lines "not until I can make a general fix".

OK, thanks for the info!

Use this: game.get_filtered_item_prototypes({{filter = "type", type = "ammo"}}) Thanks! That should have been a nobrainer as I've used the 'type' filter before. But I've somehow forgotten that 'ammo' is regarded as an item with just another type … Sorry for the noise! :oops:

The description of LuaItemPrototype.get_ammo_type() contains the warning "Can only be used if this is AmmoItem". This isn't true: If you loop over game.item_prototypes and run get_ammo_type(), this will not throw an error for items that are not an AmmoItem, but return nil instead.

We already can use fuel_items = game.get_filtered_item_prototypes({ {filter = "fuel"} }) to get a list of all items with a fuel_value. Could we get a similar filter "ammo", please? This would make it possible to simply use ammo_items = game.get_filtered_item_prototypes({ {filter ...

Hi. I would like to do a compatibility patch for ultracube, but you don't have a linked repo. How would you like to get the patch?

Hi! You could send it as PM here on the forum, I'd be glad to include it in the next version.
