Does LuaSurface::can_place_entity() work for you? https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/cla ... ace_entity

There's plenty of talk about 2.1 right here! Plus there are a number implemented suggestion and API request threads that are queued for 2.1. I'm excited for it.

Thank you! I have noticed this limit as well and it will be great to have larger deconstruction planners.

Easy solution: only have one "depot" stop, and make all your idle trains line up for it in a stacker. That way all but 1 are "en route" to the depot and cannot resoond to interrupts.




Not sure this would do it, unless i misunderstand your suggestion.
What i understood is "have just one ...

It seems the root of your complaint is that changing train limits does not cause trains to seek a new destination (this is distinct from just repathing to the current destination), but changing priorities does cause them to seek a new destination.

If the change you suggest is made, then someone ...

AFAIK, trains are not supposed to change destination as long as the path remains valid and the station remains existing with the same name. I wonder if changing the priority signal is having some unintended consequences. If you can, it's worth looking into the exact causes of the destination change ...

The second line is how it currently behaves. The third line is the new, complicated behavior being requested. But the first line is not entirely true as of 2.0.76.

The current behavior is that when a new mod is downloaded, it is automatically enabled. Any of its dependencies that are not yet ...

Look at how Xorimuth made the Mech Armor mod, for example. You are allowed to copy assets from Space Age into your own mod as long as your mod requires the Space Age feature flags (so you have to own the DLC to use it) and it's only distributed on the mod portal.

If you make your own graphics, you ...

Yes, it is the same issue. The arguments made in that thread for changing the behavior remain valid, and the arguments for keeping it as is remain absent. I will let someone else write the requested suggestion thread to say "please fix this ...

TL;DR I cannot figure out how to make the "forced" parameter of LuaSurface::can_place_entity() change the result of the function.

LuaSurface::can_place_entity() has a "forced" parameter with the following description: "If true, entities that can be marked for deconstruction are ignored. Only used ...

Isn't this what the mod description field/page is for? Text entered there is included in search results.

What if you flip the script? Have the train constantly go to mines, then interrupt triggers when cargo is full and send it to unloading. Thanks for the explanation, I will not hijack your thread anymore.

Just curious, what were you building? You want an interrupt to trigger when the train is partially full? Would that not trigger most of the time, i.e. as soon as one item was removed from a full train or one item was added to an empty train?

If you frequently play with different versions of the game, the only advice we can give is to use one or more portable zip installations and manually backup and copy blueprints between them. I never use the personal blueprint library because I change installs/computers so often. I use the "game ...

I think that is most likely the case. I know that Wube has intentionally not added many handcrafting optimizations in order to encourage factory use. People have asked before that handcrafting select which recipe to use based on what items are in the player inventory, but I don't think that was ...

What about assigning the ghost entity to a dummy neutral force?

I appreciate the discussion and OP's contributions. I have a better understanding of how the current system works and no longer see a need to change it. The solution to OP's problem is to build a single unfiltered storage chest, full stop.

Any repair packs taken from the passive provider that don ...

Rseding was trying to say that construction robots don't respect storage priorities at all and never will



They do respect storage priorities. There is no storage or requester in the logistic network shown in the screenshots and so nowhere for the robots to put repair packs.


So the shown ...

Been a while since I tried it, but look at the new Selector Combinator and try the "quality transfer" mode.
