Just in case you don't know this yet: Factorio has an in-game prototype browser where you can check the final properties of a prototype. Open the crafting menu, hover the cursor over your recipe, and use CTRL+SHIFT+F (default) to open the browser. This will also work for entities on the ground etc. ...

If Recipe.enabled is set to true, the recipe will be available right from the start, without any research. I deleted the property you indicated, but it didn't work. That's as expected. Recipe.enabled is an optional property. If you don't set an optional property, the game will set it to the default...

2. The recipe is not blocked by research, as the original does. local Recipe = table.deepcopy( data.raw[ "recipe" ][ Base ] ) -- Copia la receta Recipe.energy_required = Recipe.energy_required * Multiplier Recipe.allow_decomposition = true Recipe.ingredients = { } Recipe.enabled = true Re...

The mod is missing a migration to enable the recipe. […] You can name the file whatever you want, it just has to be in the migrations folder and end in '.lua'. In this case, where it's just about applying effects to already researched technologies again, I'd even consider running the code from on_c...

LuaEntities have two properties that affect their direction: direction and orientation. The first is rather rough, the other more fine-grained. Only direction can be used with LuaSurface.create_entity. Yesterday, I noticed something peculiar: name = player.character.name position = player.character....

I thought it was only increasing the stack size in my inventory, but it increases it EVERYWHERE! That sucks. If I remove the mod now, will I lose everything above the normal stack size? Sorry, i guess reducing stack size will destroy anything above that limit if factorio isn't handling it itself Ac...

Crafting speed is not setable in the control stage. You can see it's only readable "[R]" in the docs: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaEntity.html#LuaEntity.crafting_speed You will have to achieve that mechanic some other way. For example having two entities, where one has a craftin...

Update: ghost_pole.connect_neighbour(other_ghost_pole) returns false and no wire appears. At least outside the wire reach. How do I connect 2 entities past their wire reach? Sorry, my mistake. The thing I (wrongly) remembered was from a problem I had with Picker dollies: When one of my base entitie...

But maybe I could avoid that middle pole by providing a tool to connect 2 lonely-power-pole with a copper wire regardless of their distance. I could then set the wire reach of lonely-power-pole to 0 so it doesn't connect with anything automatically. Do you place the two lonely-power-poles per scrip...

I was wondering if I can make entities that can be connected by copper wire in some way that the LUA script can trace. Given one entity I need to find connected entities. And because I don't want to end up getting all power poles I don't want any automatic copper wire connections being made. Not su...

I suspect things would become more clear if I could understand the purpose of associated characters. What are they for? Why might they exist? What process or event associates them with a character? Are they a common occurrence, or rare? Bob's classes and character mod , for example, allows you to c...

Did you know there even was a Far Side movie? Myself, I only discovered it rather recently -- even though it's quite old.

Pretty sure you can use the creative mod and just disable the instant craft parameter.

Do you think or you know?

It will work if cheat mode is off.

Some time ago I got this crash reported on the mod portal: Error ServerMultiplayerManager.cpp:91: MultiplayerManager failed: "The mod Bio Industries (1.1.10) caused a non-recoverable error. Please report this error to the mod author. Error while running event Bio_Industries::on_configuration_ch...

When you spawn the corpse it takes a parameter that tells it what size you want the inventory to be

Thanks, that should work! It would have been too frustrating if I'd wasted two days' work only to find out that what I wanted to achieve was impossible.

If a player has died, we can access the inventory of the character-corpse per script. We can also use surface.create_entity() to spawn a character-corpse, and we can set properties like character_corpse_player_index, character_corpse_tick_of_death, and character_corpse_death_cause to make this corps...

You should check out the Vehicle Wagons mod!

I'm going by lanes of 4, with gaps of 4 in between. Why not 6 belts/4 spaces? It's a bit impractical in the beginning, as yellow undergrounds can only bridge gaps of 4 tiles, but you can improvise until you've got red undergrounds. 2 lanes of iron and 2 lanes of copper are what I plan on. That will...

Train still doesn't move until I delete the circuit condition. (Again, no wires connected to Train stop) Interesting. Seems I have to revise my earlier statement: So if you set the condition to "RED == 0", it will always be true if the signal is not connected, as well as if the signal is ...

Rather than trying to re-explain or try to poke holes in your explanation, let me start by just asking a simple question - if the stop is not wired up at all (no combinators, signals, or wires connected to the train stop), will it still proceed after 30 seconds? Yes, you must hook up the signal to ...
