I really like this change, it's "simple" on paper, but will add so much benefit to the game. I do have a question though.

For this image, and perhaps a point I missed, will we be able to also signal in-between these gaps now? As ...

Hello all, I am the developer of the Automatic Train Painter mod, and I’m coming to you for some much-needed help.

(Apologies if this is the wrong forum, it looked to be the most appropriate to me. If not, please point me in the right direction!)

It’s often been requested to implement a way to ...

I am extremely happy that the module color is integrated into the beacon animation. I was debating making a mod for this but I won't have to now! One question, though: does the tower animation glow at night?

Huh, turns out my issue was using .global instead of .startup for a startup setting... Good to know this is how this works.

Thanks for the help!

Hi there, is there a way to use a function like this one:
if settings.global["mod-setting-1"].value then
But referencing another mod's setting? How does one access remote mod settings?

This code: settings.global["mod-setting-1"].value will always be nil since it's not part of the base game or ...

Hi guys, in the last FFF it was noted that pipes without liquid flowing still made sound and that this seemed to be an error. Given that, I find it odd that the offshore pump also makes a regular pumping sound even when the flow rate is 0/s. Is this intended? It feels very odd to me hearing this ...

Mod has been released!

Unfortunately it's incompatible with Wagon Colors (and anything that uses Mooncat's mask) due to the way the mask graphics overlap if simultaneously enabled. Thus, I've ported the functionality of that mod into this one.

Provided the license isn't an issue, I'd prefer to port the functionality for simplicity's sake. If that's not possible, I'll just upload the png files.

...so I got tired of waiting for an official fluid wagon color mask and have spent the better part of today creating one. I've more or less finished 2 of the 128 sprite rotations (pure horizontal and vertical) and I think they look pretty damn good.

Hi guys, this is admittedly a very minor bug, possibly not a bug at all, but I thought it weird behavior that probably could be fixed as part of polishing the game for full release. In the Mod menu, in the Updates tab, the list of mods with updates seems to default to reverse alphabetical order ...

Hmmm, I think this is already the case for my grid and equipment but I'll double check. How does this set the item to be vehicle specific? The grid has to be linked somehow to the vehicle prototype, right?

I'm having an issue figuring out how to force new equipment items into being placed only in certain vehicles. Is this a property of the equipment-grid, or the equipment category, or the equipment item itself? Digging through mods where this has been accomplished has yielded no obvious solutions.

e ...

I would absolutely love a real vanilla fluid wagon color mask. Given that the devs might be trending in the direction of using more color masks (see FFF 311 and the train stop remains), would it be a stretch to have one for fluid wagons implemented as well?

I can barely see underground belts against dirt now

Is your monitor not configured to display blue?

The belts are blue=0.004, the dirt is blue=0.259


Blue isn't the problem here, as you can see in the entities. The issue is that both the dirt's and belts' pixels have R and G values that are ...

I can barely see underground belts against dirt now:

Fixed that rails wouldn't build correctly if they had a fast_replaceable_group defined. (72699)

Thanks for this!

I'm working on a mod that adds a new kind of rail, basically just a cosmetic change with a different recipe. I wanted the ability to use the Upgrade Planner to easily switch between rail styles, so I added these lines into the entities.lua.

data.raw["straight-rail"]["straight-rail"].fast ...

Welp that was stupidly simple and works like a charm. Thanks!

For Automatic Train Painter, I'm trying to get trains dispatched by LTN to change color upon assignment and remain that way until they finish delivery. As the mod's current painting algorithm will unpaint empty trains automatically (which is fine post-delivery, but not pre-pickup), I was thinking to ...

Huh, I actually figured it out. Just adding another for loop with train.get_contents replaced with train.get_fluid_contents, as well as adding another for loop earlier in the color processor for game.fluid_prototypes did the trick.
