... it would make FireFlame to be a lot more complex because it would have to be a military target for turrets to see them. It's even more difficult than this! You can use this mod if you want https://mods.factorio.com/mod/WaterTurret Unfortunately, there are some problems with that mod that I coul...

I'm sure that if you run some stats, the chances someone coming on the mod portal happens to be interested by one of the 20 most recently updated mods must be infinitesimal. Or alternatively, if you want mods displayed on the default tab, maybe change the default tab to "most downloaded" ...

The second point about finding the "max non-nil logistic request slot_index" was specifically referring to the logistic request slots, not the trash slots. Thats fine though. My solution incurs a negligible performance hit so Im not worried about it Ooops, sorry! My mind was set on trash,...

I've figured out how to access the main inventory with `player.get_main_inventory()` but I can't find anything specific to the trash slots on the docs. Maybe I'm just overlooking it? You can use LuaControl::get_inventory : local trash local character = player and player.valid and player.character i...

Is there some way to pause the game for real, so that the laptop doesn't consume as much power while the game is idle? You can try "suspending" the process in windows task manager, it is a little different use case if the game is expected to run or not in background, as in this case nothi...

… when Factorio is in the background/not the focused window … it is unnecessarily rendering and on my laptop is using 40% of the GPU's power Does that mean you just switch to another program but the game continues (i.e., game time is progressing) in the background? If so, I've a problem that's simi...

+1. However, I'd like to be able to make the quantity selector optional. (Use case: Currently working on GUIs for Autodrive where players should be able to set preferred fuel/ammo items for a vehicle, but shouldn't be able to set the quantity unless the vehicle grid contains a certain equipment.)

… "MyRus2" and "RusGoldLocal-AllRussianTranslateMods" … Good thing that you can tell by their name that they are translation mods. Yes. But there are mods that have no English title, description, or info page . One can only tell what that mod is about (without downloading it, th...

I just noticed a change in the way dependencies are presented: In the tab "This mod", "Required" and "Optional" dependencies are subsumed under "Default". This used to be the case for the tab "From other mods" as well. However, there now is a new cat...

TL;DR Tanks and Car's can be controlled like spidertrons remotely and auto fire Check out Autodrive ! You can equip vehicles with "sensors" for specific purposes. Vehicles that have loaded guns and are equipped with an enemy sensor will shoot at enemies within range of their selected weap...

for k, x in pairs(data.raw.module) do … data.raw.module[k]=x end You don't need data.raw.module[k]=x here! 1) The x table in the loop may not actually be linked to the table in data.raw. At the end of your for loop, try adding the line data.raw.module[k]=x Agreed, it's easy to mess up things by wor...

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...
