Yeah, that's a better idea, I guess

The exact same property name as on creation.

Or if you mean that animation prototypes are missing from runtime entirely, you should rephrase your request to ask for that.


Yeah, the animation prototype is afaik missing ...

What do you want to use the frame_count for?


I posted another interface request for pausing/restarting animations . In that thread I talked about a script work around. That solution requires the frame count such that you can calculate the frame the animation should be at.

The code is still ...

I'm trying to get the number of frames in an animation. It's stored as the frame_count property of the animation prototype but I believe there's no way to get the prototype of a LuaRenderObject.

There's neither a LuaRenderObject.prototype field nor a table in the prototypes object that contains the ...

Hi,

I wish there was an easier way to pause animations of LuaRenderObjects.

Setting the animation_speed field to 0, jumps the animation to the first frame and later if you increase the speed again the animation jumps to the frame as if the animation was never paused.

It is possible to account for ...

I noticed in an on_research_finished event that the event.research.technology.level is one too high for the infinite research.

I'm not sure if this is related to this report or if this has any practical effect, besides modding but here's a repro:

Hi, I've released a mod people on Reddit asked for that hides the Demolishers' territory. But when implementing it, I was surprised to see there is no clean way to change the color of just the territory on Vulcanus. I had to modify to default values, namely default_enemy_territory_color for the ...

So Factoriopedia still shows it as appearing on the planet.

I'm trying to get a resource to show up in the Factoriopedia as appearing on a specific planet, but not be present during map gen or ever being naturally spawned on the planet, but instead placed by my mod during runtime

One thing I encountered while trying to accomplish that was that ...

Could this be considered again? Thanks!

The schedules in your blueprint appears to be just interrupts and no stops in the regular schedule. This is not a supported configuration.
It also happens when the station Test-No-Path is in the main schedule: I think the bug is that a train stops evaluating its interrupts when it's in a no-path ...

Do you still need a save file or is the blueprint enough?

Sometimes the train does get the signal and sometimes it doesn't.

I think I have a repro for the case where it stops retrieving the signal.

Is it possible to expose the OldTileAndPosition data when a script runs set_tiles with raise_event=true? This would match the behavior of on_player_built_tile and on_robot_built_tile.

Currently it's not possible to run cleanup code of my mod's tiles when they are removed by a script unless I store ...

+1 for the proposal.

My mod, Canal Excavator, uses stone ore to simulate the process of digging a canal, but I don't want players to infinitely replace the canals with landfill and extract more from it than it would cost. Productivity bonuses make this much harder to implement.

I was working on filtering my events instead of checking inside the event, and noticed that in the on_built_entity event "event.ghost_name" is equal to the name underlying type, even for tiles, but when I added the filtering to the on_event, my event stopped working.

After some digging around, I ...

Lengthy title, but a picture is worth a thousand words:

Here you can see I connected the lubricant to one of the water outputs of Space Exploration's Decontamination Facility and as you can see the pipe connected to the other fluid output says that there is lube in ...

Thanks for your response. The "pixels" being 1/256 wide does make sense!

I do still wonder though why the inaccuracy only shows up for negative numbers though. This makes the center tile 1/256th bigger than the rest.

I've created a blueprint of two rows of belts where the top row is as much to the ...

Hi, I'm working on some tool that handles blueprint strings/json when I noticed that Factorio handles the exact position of entities in a rather odd way.

When exporting a single 1x1 tile as blueprint (let's say a single belt) the position of the belt in the json is nice and round at the (.5, .5 ...

Any ETA for 0.17 support? Love the mod btw <3
