To expand on this: this is a known side effect of cross-surface teleportation and the same thing happens with character entities when teleporting them across surfaces. I don't have a perfect solution to it yet so that's just how it works for now. When I figure out how to solve the issue(s) then I w...

What really? Oh. In that case, never mind. Lol. Just let them fill up a bit more then, maybe.

Ammo in a destroyed turret will be lost, ammo on a belt not. So as long as there is ammo available, it should be safer to load only just enough into a turret to keep it going.

This is kind of engine limitation, when removing car from first surface, lua handle gets disconnected from car. So, when teleporting to another surface, "vehicle.teleport(entity.position, entity.surface)" is basically just like an alias for vehicle.clone{position=entity.position, surface=entity.sur...

2) Characters can't be assigned to players on different surfaces. Which I believes applies to drivers or passengers of vehicles too. Teleport to the surface where the character is, assign it and then teleport where you need to go. Correct. I've been wasting time lately with using teleport() for mov...

Scripting Added support to teleport car entity types between surfaces. For now i will throw this request to Won't Implement because ability to teleport cars should solve your underlying issue. Ooops, didn't see the announcement yet. Nice thing to wake up to! If cross-surface teleporting really work...

Maybe that broke when they added passenger support or I simply remember wrong.

Never mind. It's almost working now, and of course I've implemented the check for uncharted chunks you suggested.

Haven't used clone() yet. I'd assume that it's an exact copy except for the entity unit_number. I'm not sure what it does to the inventory content though. Some items have unique indexes/tags too (blueprints, modded items like factorissimo factories!, etc). So it might be nessecarry to clone the car...

The vanilla game has two vehicles of the "car" prototype (car and tank), and both are armed. In multiplayer games, such vehicles have a setting that allows the driver to take control of driving and shooting or to hand over weapons control to the passenger. However, there are mods, and mods can chang...

Will the train stop if A brakes -- or will it accelerate because B has hit <W> at the same tick? Pure speculation: If there's no special code to handle multiple drivers it'll try to do both at the same time. And breaking will probably win. I thought everything would have to be deterministic in orde...

The destroy() method has these options destroy(opts) → boolean Destroys the entity. Parameters opts (optional): Table with the following fields: do_cliff_correction :: boolean (optional): If neighbouring cliffs should be corrected. Defaults to false. raise_destroy :: boolean (optional): If true; def...

There is no way.
You could add a command to do the uninstall/deactivate your mod before they remove it

Would a pre-removal release that migrates to default behavior make sense? Or an optional dependency on a mod with just a migration script and a conflict against the main mod?

Aren't there (chain) signals missing before and after the switches?

Ẃho is the driver if two or more players are riding on the same train that is set to manual mode? Vehicles with type == "car" may have a driver (vehicle.get_driver()) and a passenger (vehicle.get_passenger()). The driver does the driving, and the passenger either does nothing or may control the weap...

If you attach water turrets to the pipes: Yes.

The discussion boards over on the mod portal have a rather primitive interface, there's not much one can do except for editing and quoting a post. It has happened to me more than once already that I clicked the wrong button and quoted my own post instead of changing it -- ending up with 2 very simil...

I would be tempted to write this off as dead experimental code that just got left in. I thought of that, too. That's why I've been asking -- if it's meaningless, it can be deleted, but I wouldn't want to remove something that has been included for some purpose that I don't understand. Well, it shou...

I've thought of that myself already, but it still doesn't really help figuring out what mod it's referenced in.
