I've got three platforms.
One providing plenty of a item. Always enough in stock.
One requesting and using a lot of that item, but not slow or fast enough that the request ever gets fulfilled or emptied. Current + on the way is almost always equal to the amount requested.
One platform requesting ...

I might be missing it, but currently there doesn't seem to be a way to toggle the "provide materials to other platforms" checkbox on space platforms/hubs by script.

The BlueprintEntity has a `providing_to_other_platforms`, I'd like to request a similar read/write attribute for either LuaEntity or ...

The LuaFluidBox API contains the following example

Therefore, the correct way to update a fluidbox of an entity is to read it first, modify the table, then write the modified table back
fluid = entity.fluidbox[1]
fluid.temperature = fluid.temperature * 2
entity.fluidbox[1] = fluid

If you run ...

Consider the following snippet

game.surfaces[1].create_entity {
name = "entity-ghost",
inner_name = "decider-combinator",
position = {0, 0},
force = "player",
player_description = "test",
control_behavior = {
decider_conditions = {
conditions = {},
outputs = {{signal = {type = "item ...

2.0.61 introduced on_territory_created and on_territory_destroyed, as well as get/set/clear_territory_for_chunks(). Which is great! Thanks.

With the events we can track which chunks belong to which segmented_unit. However it's not possible to keep track of these chunks when other mods change the ...

Very nitpicky.
I'm making a mod where inserters can interact with any inventory of an entity, including the module inventory. Using the new proxy-container.

This works well with all inventories I've tested (so far), except the module inventory of mining drills.
They stop working once the module ...

With 2.0.38 we got the proxy-container with `proxy_target_entity` and `proxy_target_inventory`
Which allowed me to create this mod (WIP), where you can insert/outsert from custom inventories.

I currently implemented this by adding some invisible proxy-containers at the ...

Consider an entity with no collision mask layers. It collides with no objects.

data.raw["assembling-machine"]["cryogenic-plant"].collision_mask = {layers = {}}


When this entity is placed in front of a railgun and the player selects the railgun, it still marks this entity has being in danger of ...

Copy settings is only supposed to copy settings that the player can change.


If that's the policy then it isn't done consistently though.
The decider combinator output constant also can't be changed by players, hardcoded to be 1. But it can be set by script. Yet that one is copy pastable and ...

As the author of that mod, support.

Same for EntityPrototype.icons_positioning.

For now I'm gathering the info in a lua file to be read at runtime, but preferably I'd just use LuaEntity.prototype.item_draw_specification so it also works for all modded entities.

As per FFF-421 , the robot that is drawn is not their actual location, but their predicted one.

A LuaRenderObject with a robot as target still follows the "real robot" instead of the rendered one, making it seems like it lags behind.
Suggestion is to have LuaRenderingObjects follow the rendered ...

Consider this blueprint

Even though it's not supported yet through the GUI to set minimum and maximum temperature, the API does allow to do so.

/c game.player.selected.fluidbox.set_filter(1, {name="steam", minimum_temperature=100, maximum_temperature=200})


However when you make a blueprint of the pump, and then paste ...

Same issue with set/get_filter, but at least there a filter_slot_count exists.

Currently the only way to check the priority targets of turrets is to call LuaEntity.get_priority_target(index) for increasing indices until an Index out of bounds error is raised (the amount of targets isn't able to be read either AFAIK).

A LuaEntity.priority_targets::array[LuaEntityPrototype ...

And while we are at it.

SelectorCombinatorParameters , also misses

"stack-size", "rocket-capacity", "quality-filter" and "quality-transfer" as options for `operation'

For "quality-filter":
`quality_filter`:: SignalFilter (only with quality: QualityID and comparator: ComparatorString)

For ...

Ran into the same issue (2.0.27).

For anyone else stumbling on this topic:

- DeciderCombinatorCondition has the same first_signal, second_signal, constant, comparator from v1.0 DeciderCombinatorParameters .
Additionally it has `first_signal_networks` and `second_signal_networks`, which is ...

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 click when in ...

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 ...

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 ...
