@orzelek, that sucks, I thought that no one else created a cave world type mod yet. Oh well, I need the lua practice anyways.

I'm trying to make a custom world gen, and I'm over-writing the trees and decorations in my surface, but entity.destroy isn't working. script.on_event(defines.events.on_chunk_generated, function(event) if(event.surface == game.surfaces.Caves) then local caves = game.surfaces.Caves local area = event...

I need to always detect the cave entrance, as it needs to be reusable, and act as a teleporter of sorts, rather than detecting it once.

Ok, thanks. Hopefully I can make something work that isn't too much of a hack.

How did I miss that? I even looked at merge forces...

How can I change what tiles are used and which ores are created when generating the surface?

I've looked around and it looks like adding surfaces isn't implemented yet, although the wiki says something about an API. Can I make another surface, and if so how?

Ok, thanks. EDIT: I'm checking for my entity in the on_tick event, and it detects everything fine, but it doesn't stop detecting it (As in it doesn't stop printing 'Found Cave Entrance'). local X = game.player.position.x local Y = game.player.position.y local entrance = game.surfaces["nauvis&qu...

What does find_entities get centered around? I want to make an entity that can detect when the player walks into it.

How can I change the required temperature that my custom generator needs to run?

Thanks, I got it to work.

I'm creating a new tank, but I should've been more specific. I meant liquid tanks, which is why I'm asking. I'm not even sure if it's possible at this point.

How do I change the amount that my tank can store?

Ok I was wondering where to post my questions, and this looked like the place. Thanks for the help

I'm new to factorio modding and I would like a link to an api or a guide. I'm not new to modding in general, but I've only modded minecraft before so lua is new to me. I also have coding background but I know barely anything about lua. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
