Since viewtopic.php?f=48&t=98136 was declined, I'd like a function that mods can call after adding/removing a LuiGuiElement to trigger the recentering manually.

Thanks for the report however I don't believe we're going to change any of this behavior. The re-centering is a side effect of how the generic GUI system works - not specifically designed to do that but because of how the implementation works it happens. Ok, would a 'recenter_gui' lua call be easy ...

This does not cause any issues with https://mods.factorio.com/mod/production-potential (v1.2.0) which has a relative GUI, a scroll box, but no `maximal_height`, implying that it is an issue specific to entity GUIs.

Mods cannot modify the menu in that way (they can only change the background simulations and gui styles) so no.

My hardcoded maximal_height workaround doesn't even work when another mod is taking up some of the relative space: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Spidertro ... 5c11dd15bf

I noticed this whilst modifying the icon for one of my mods. base/graphics/technology/spidertron.png has a strange gray border around each mipmapped image that isn't present on any of the other tech icons that I could see.

I'm currently having to use `on_gui_closed` for this one, but it only takes effect when the overall GUI is closed, not immediately. Why? I'm kind of trying to re-create the line on the ground from a spidertron to its destination, which is coloured the same colour as the spidertron. I can't detect th...

All spidertrons in the screenshot have the same colour and look identical when placed. The 2 lighter ones have had their colours changed from default and then manually set back to the default colour.

This isn't going to happen. Losing focus can happen for one of many reasons - even destroying the game when exiting can trigger focus lost. It's not an explicit user input and the base game specifically never treats "focus lost" as confirmation. If that's the behavior you want - you're ou...

Hover over one of those pumps and see what it says it is now.

The Offshore pump, covered with landfill, pumps water ...

It is deliberately allowed. In English, when you cover it with landfill it becomes a "Water well pump" instead of an "Offshore pump" to signify this.

Using this locale: [test] alt1=__ALT_CONTROL__1__build__ alt2=__ALT_CONTROL__1__build__ __1__ test and running /c game.print({"test.alt1"}) game.print({"test.alt2", "substituted parameter"}) should print Left-click Left-click substituted parameter test but instead it pr...

I can work around this by setting `maximal_height = 930` on the outermost frame, but I'm pretty sure the behaviour is unwanted. To reproduce, load the save with the attached mod ( not the same as the version on the mod portal), and click on the spidertron. You can use the patrol remote (click on the...

For some reason doing `logistic_network.all_construction_robots == logistic_network.available_construction_robots` wouldn't quite work. It would usually trigger just before all the robots were back inside the spidertron, leaving some behind. Doing `not next(logistic_network.construction_robots)` wor...

+1 for the ability to use the "Or set a constant" in mods.

When a relative GUI is added, the main GUI recenters, but it does not go back when the relative GUI is destroyed (or hidden).

+1. Also for type = "minimap", which is how base game train GUI works.
