Sorry for complaining so much.
Perhaps the documentation should mention that the force is also provided in event interface.

Good spot, I fixed the docs for the next release.

On the main page (https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/index.html) the Classes header isn't clickable, but the Events header further down the page is. Capture.PNG There is the Classes page that I assume the header should link to: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Classes.html You are absolutely ri...

I just wanted to make a quick note on all the Position conversation: I agree that it's all a pretty big mess at the moment. The fundamental issue is that read and write have to have the same type in the docs, even when they don't behave the same, so you end up with confusing concepts that try to en...

Can confirm, crashes for me too, macos log attached.

Silari is right in this case, I actually put that x/y line there myself pretty recently. The whole situation isn't great, it's on my list to come up with a better solution to it, but the underlying issue is that it's just inconsistently implemented in the APIs, sometimes it's one way, sometimes the ...

I attached the mod to this message for those that are interested. The script likely won't run though since it uses some non-release API calls. But the map should be able to be migrated step by step to a recent release.

Hi, thanks for the very detailed report, appreciate it! I‘ll try to have a look soon.

Edit: I fixed this bug, more info on the mod portal.

That is great! Unfortunately not retroactive, but awesome fo the future. Can we have such a json output for prototype definitions as well (even though they are only in the wiki and mostly manually updated)? I'd have liked to make it work retroactively, but unfortunately getting this to work well re...

This is a thing now!

Appreciate all the feedback, I'll change the method description to lay out these nuances.

Added a machine-readable JSON format of the runtime documentation, which can be used by developer tools to provide code completion and related functionality. is this json schema and where can I find it so I can use it as a linter! Information about it can be found here , and support for code comple...

You're right, probably best to be explicit. Fixed for the next release.

The whole 'Can only be used if' system is kind of bad in general though, it's due for a re-do at some point I feel like.

Doesn't CraftingMachine already imply that?

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaEntity.html#LuaEntity.get_recipe Works on a ghost of a crafting machine. Not sure if it is intentional or not (there is no other obvious way to check the recipe on a ghost), but it works. get_recipe() and previous_recipe don't do anything on a blueprint of a f...

I'll look into it.

From my testing, discrete_slider does not do anything at all, only the value of discrete_values matters. The solution is to remove it from the API, but as that's a breaking change, it's a bit more of a delicate affair. I'll see about that though. I noticed this a while ago, but documenting it as 'th...

I added a note hinting at this functionality to the docs for the next release.

This was added with 1.1.0

Thank you for the report. top, left, center and goal are indeed flows, while screen and relative are empty-widgets. The docs have been updated to reflect this for the next release.

Thanks for the report, this has been corrected for the next release.
