Potentially a duplicate of the very unintuitive behavior you called intentional here: viewtopic.php?p=673916

Suggestion to solve the original problem:
Check the last_user or the just built entity.
Check the cursor_stack of that player.
If it's not an underground pipe, don't do anything.
That way if they are holding a blueprint, it won't trigger.

1. It's impossible to delete forces. You can only merge them. You can choose to delete all the entities on the unwanted force before you merge them, or you can allow them to be reassigned.
2. Many mods make hidden forces to achieve certain things. The mod that lets you make overlapping independent ...

The force parameter of each entity is changed automatically by the game during the "game.merge_forces" function call. The entities continue to exist and the same LuaEntity references are still valid. You do not have to do anything, except any special logic that you need to run to make your mod work ...

All the entities in the "source" force should have their force changed to the "destination" force before the source force is deleted.

+1, but OP I think you put the wrong pictures in the first post? I see several versions of the "trash unrequested" inventory checkbox instead if the R/G circuit wire selector. And change the title to explain what "those" checkboxes are.

What do you mean by that ? We both had the problem.

The computer that shows the desync error isn't necessarily the one that is faulty. If your computer has a faulty component, then it will desync when connected to a non-faulty server. But also, if the faulty computer is the server, the non ...

Have you tried connecting your brother's computer to his switch? It's possible your computer has an issue.

An even unload is ensured for my examples in the second post. No matter how uneven the unloading is performed. Just one lane, complete block, slow, fast. All the chests will be empty within the same second. No circuit control required. That's because of the balancers at the output.


I tried ...

You can always add a bypass route instead of having the buffer directly in series between input and output.

You need to identify the reasons for the uneven unloading before you can fix it. Tertius's example solves one issue, which is that the inserters placing items farther from the exit will ...

For a better example of compound entity management, look at how Shortwave Fixed radios work, and how Cargo Ships oil rigs work.

Nevermind, I think this is not a bug. After some testing I figured that interrupts with the same name override each other as well. I changed name from "Dispatch" to "Dispatch - *W" in my case where * is number of wagons and started to work.


Oh right. Interrupt names are also overridden by what ...

I'll check your save file tonight, but I'm not a mod so they will do what they think is right.

What you are trying to make is commonly called a "compound entity". You want your modded entity to have the functionality of both a power pole and a lightning attractor, which the game can only handle as separate prototypes. You have to create two entities, only one of which is craftable, (for ...

Hmm, that might be a bug. It'll be easier to replicate if you can upload a save file with the affected blueprint in your inventory.

When the blueprint contains the name of a train group, the new train is assigned to that group. If the group already exists, the train is given the schedule from the group already in the save, and the schedule in the blueprint is discarded. This is intentional so you don't have to update all your ...

It's possible for jobs to be "ignored" if they are assigned to the job queue of a robot that is stuck trying to complete a prior job. (There is still no queue timeout AFAIK.) For example, if it's trying to place a building that has a tile or vehicle in the way. Can you see if there are any stuck ...

There are other topics where the signal auto-rotate behavior is mentioned. It won't auto-rotate in a position where it can't be built (either because there's an identical signal there already, or it's over water). This is the intended behavior and changing it might be complicated, but it's also an ...

Please note that my request is not for having per-prototype rocket lift weights, but for having the one rocket lift weight available in runtime stage (without resorting to smuggling arbitrary data from data stage). Related, but still completely different.


Ah, you want *read* access. That makes ...
