While testing https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=91497 , I discovered that artillery turrets continued to fire on the Spidertron after it left its range, either moving too far or too close to the turret, even potentially causing it to shoot itself to death. This bug also exists when...

Artillery turrets target enemy Spidertrons. Since Spidertron is immune to artillery fire, the turret will continue to shoot at the Spidertron until it runs out of ammo. This is unlike other mobile enemy units, such as units, cars, and characters, which the artillery turret doesn't target.

In the documentation for LuaEntity.die() it says "Doesn't care whether the entity is destroyable or damageable." This suggests that if a normally-destructible entity is made indestructible, it can still die(). However, if you try the following, the entity is not killed: some_entity.destruc...

After creating a ChunkIterator with LuaSurface.get_chunks(), reading all the chunks from it (so that it returns nil), then generating new chunk and trying to read it again causes a game (not script) crash. Specifically, it looks like the new chunks have to be to the south-east, as just south or east...

When holding or selecting most turrets, it renders the range of the turret on the screen. However, this is not the case for artillery turrets. While this is understandable given the range of the vanilla artillery turret, I would like to add this functionality to modded turrets. While entities have a...

LuaEntity.train reads:

The train this rolling stock belongs to or nil if not rolling stock.

Can only be used if this is RollingStock

The second line is incorrect, .train can be used on an entity that isn't a RollingStock, in which case it returns nil (as stated in the first line).

What did you do? Placing a fuel item with a burnt_result into an entity with a burner source that has a burnt_inventory_size of 0 causes the item to burn as expected until the heat runs out (when the burnt_result would be created), at which point the burner locks up. The burner won't burn any more ...

Thank you for the fix.

The attached mod creates a custom artillery flare when a land mine dies by using a "create-entity" dying_trigger_effect. In the 0.17 version, this functioned as expected, creating the flare on death (through "create-particle"). In 0.18, this was changed to "create-entity&quo...

When setting a custom description for an item-with-tags through LuaItemStack.custom_description, the description isn't updated if the item already has a description set through the prototype or locale file. This function works normally if there is no description set. Since the placeholder item in va...

Normal projectiles have a rotatable property that controls whether the projectile is rotated to match its direction of travel. Artillery projectiles don't have this property but use the behavior by default. While this works well for the vanilla projectile, it looks out of place when using something ...

Thanks.

Please allow the speed of a projectile entity to be read and written during control, preferably through LuaEntity.speed or a similar method. I would like to set the speed of an artillery projectile after being fired (through on_trigger_fired_artillery). Their speed can be set when created through Lu...

Setting an ItemStack's health to 1.0 via script or command doesn't update the ItemStack's health if the item in question is an item-with-entity-data. Setting the health to any other value works as expected, including setting it from 1.0 to something else, and setting any other item's health to 1.0 a...

Clock has a mod conflict when another mod changes any mod setting via script, even its own. When changed by script, the resulting on_runtime_mod_setting_changed has a player_index of nil. Clock's handler for this event doesn't properly handle this and crashes. Here is the relevant part of the stack ...
