Are you aware of the "only-in-cursor" flag on item prototypes? https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/ItemPrototypeFlags#%22only-in-cursor%22 I was aware, yes. But good point. That flag conflicts with the "mod-openable" flag as I still want it to have a settings menu pop up on right cl...

Currently writing to LuaPlayer.cursor_stack_temporary is ignored for everything that is not a blueprint, blueprint-book, deconstruction-planner or upgrade-planner. I request to make this check one level higher, make it work for all selection tools. Most modded selection tools, like the vanilla ones,...

As someone has pointed out on discord, force applies to the items within the inventories of the to be mined entity, not the mined result of it. If that is the desired behaviour then I guess the documentation should be updated to reflect that. However I still think the mined result should be included...

Does it behave the same if force is nil (unspecified)?

Default behaviour is equal to force=false

LuaControl.mine_entity(entity, force?) mentions it will fail if it can't place the items of the entity into the inventory of the LuaControl when force is set to false. (Or at least, that behaviour is implied by the description of when force is true). These items it checks do not include the mined_r...

The "loader-1x1" entity has to be placed one tile further for north and west to be able to work jhH7UlVCP6.mp4 Setting the container_distance to 1 fixes it. Might do with some fast and express versions as well. As well as items to place them. And some graphic change to show they are actual...

Currently
defines.events.on_robot_mined_entity
defines.events.on_robot_built_entity
defines.events.on_robot_mined

are called (in that order), but not defines.events.on_robot_pre_mined

Is it possible to get read/write access to the recent build history of a player? I created a selection tool that deletes, upgrades and creates some entities, and would like it to work with the undo function. So some way to add a list of entities to be built, upgraded and or deconstructed to the buil...

Right, thanks. Kind of regret making the report now before doing some more testing. The bug is only there when it doesn't have a "floor-layer" or a "water-tile" layer. Maybe have a check that the collision_mask of a rail should contain at least one of those? Right now adding (or ...

I am building a rail system where sometimes I want other entities to be able to be build on (parts of) rails. So I removed the collision masks data.raw["straight-rail"]["straight-rail"].collision_mask = {"not-colliding-with-itself"} data.raw["curved-rail"][&qu...

Not a major bug. Just some inconsistencies which are easy to account for when building mods, but will cause some head-scratches the first time you encounter it. If you check the input and output lines of the LuaTransportLines of a splitter then the connections within the splitter are inconsistent. T...

Not sure if this should be in bug reports or interface requests. But there is some (seemingly inconsistent) weird behaviour. LuaEntity.drop_target and LuaEntity.pickup_target of inserters are nil when building inserters in on_built_entity. Even though the entities to pickup from/drop of to are alrea...

Support on this. I'd like a LuaEntity.get_transport_line_index(position) that returns the index of the transport line, or nil if position is outside the TransportBeltConnectable (the index so we can easily call get_transport_line(index) and do some math with the index). Would be nice if it would ret...

I was having the exact problem yesterday I think it's because the spot-noise uses the same seeds for all resources. (seed0 = map seed, seed1 = 100), and doesn't make use of the resource name/order to seed the generation, so all spots will be on the same locations for each resource. What I did was co...
