You could search Modding interface requests section and see if it has been requested. If not you could ask and see if they will consider adding module support to boilers.

That is what I ended up doing, yes. Yeah, I dunno how or when I'll edit that stuff in, now I get to learn how to edit a wiki as well I guess :p, but if I get my own stuff working it may or may not be soon.

Edit: Oh, yep, worked like a charm, first time :) ty guys for all the help. And gals if ...

Hi
How can i change settings for drones with my mod in others mods?
I tried to do everything myself but could not understand how to do it :|

Here's how I ended up:


if data.raw.item ["cargo-robot"] and data.raw.item ["cargo-robot-2"] and data.raw.item ["angels-construction-robot"] then ...

Read that. To get it to run on coal, you need to change the type to burner and set the properties in the burner section. Look at any prototype that uses fuel to see how it is done.

Ok, that was easier than I thought. Turns out I hadn't added the new iron category to the list of resources the character can mine. New version is up now.

Hmmm, I'll take a look in the next few days. I haven't had time to play recently but I'll see if i can find time to test it.

If I want free personal lessons, than I would go to the real lua. Forum. Maybe you still don’t understand that I am asking here because I want make a mod for factorio.
Like I said, if someone wants to help then Ian thankful. All others should stop crying!


The problem your not understanding is ...

That would be dangerous in the hands of sloppy modders.

Put in on_tick and have it dump a large amount of data to clipboard and the game would hopefully crash before the computer.


Yea, but that can happen with MANY thing, there is game.write_file too ;)


That however can't deny the players ...

This line: data.raw["furnace"]["stone-furnace"].energy_source.emissions_per_minute = 3.5

Put in the mod will change the emission rate to 3.5 per second. It overrides the Original setting.

You can't change furnace emissions directly, they are based on power consumption.



Yes you can, change it on the energy source: https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/EnergySource#emissions_per_minute

data.raw["furnace"]["stone ...

Again, I could do that - but it's not going to work well fir 95%+ of the mods out there that try to use it because the base game doesn't have any icons and mods would have to fill them in - everyone conflicting with what icons they chose - it just doesn't seem like a good idea.


Solution ...

It could possibly be done BUT the performance cost of the scripting required would make it unviable. A better option would be to go to the interface requests forum and ask for a throughput_limit = χ kw

It would be a lot easier to implement on the c++ side than with the limited abilities of lua.

Furnace type is limited to 1 source ingredient. They can't actually be made to accept 2 different ingredients at the same time.
However a recipe could be made for the assembling machine that takes 1 iron + 1 copper and produce 1 iron plate and 1 copper plate.

From memory i'm fairly sure they are defined in the C++ side and you can't create a new type from within the lua api.

This one gives a good starting supply and helps with the repair issue.

No answer could also mean they are still looking to see how feasible it is to add. It may need complex code or have a significant performance impact that needs investigating first.

/c game.player.print( Data.raw.tile.water.ageing )

Does not work for me, from console.
Says attempt to index global data - nil value. Data.raw.tile.water.ageing also do not works.

Seems should be some prefix before data. ?


Data.raw is not available when the game is running.
You need to use ...

2) Charging plug.
A feature many times proposed, and still, can't find an implementation I would like. :P Feels ridicules to wait for batteries to charge up standing in the middle of the base overflowing with gigawatts of power. A must-be module, IMO. Personal solars and fusion reactors ...

It is possible the mods are in conflict. That could cause the resources to be in a different category to the one that the drills are set to mine.

A full list of mods will help others determine if there is conflicts, but you could try a new game with just 1 of those mods and nothing else enabled and ...
