Yeah I think I found a coordinate list that was staying around globally. My mistake.

I captured it here:

I can make a video if that helps or here is the mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SinDunes


Ill try to double check that nothing is spawned near the player, but everything is in new chunk events.

So walking up to an already placed lake is fatal. Walking or standing on a beach is fine and then you suddenly die.

Just making sure its clear that it is not actively spawned at their feet for this to happen.

I started poking at a new mod today that I need to spawn water for. I spin up an array of tiles and set them on a surface. All seems well. However, if the player walks around the waters edge it is sometimes (often) fatal. I've tested this without tile correction to the same results over various wate...

Yeah it is pretty simple and ugly. But i figured the green bar would only catch attention when you cared to know (getting dark).

If it passes singistics in downloads, I might cry myself to sleep... lol.

I quickly implemented this as a progressbar to max darkness. This will auto-increase the max if they have made changes to it.

I welcome feedback if this doesn't fit your needs.

Well give this a go and let me know what you think: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ForestAging There are several issues with implementing your concept. Mostly that the event you mention with a tree dying doesn't exist. A tree would die if I shot it to death, for example. Chopping wouldn't count. Poll...

Ya its possible mineable causes it to fail, because in theory it should be going to a player's inventory.

What I meant was fast replace didn't work as I expected. IF fast replace was only meant to transfer inventory, then you would have to delete the original. I HAD to delete the original, which seems like its not working as intended. So I was just making sure I understand it correctly... in that fast r...

So with your lamps, you did not need to go delete the original? The issue with the assemblers is you have to delete the one you just made invalid (from fast replace), and you cannot destroy an invalid. So it would appear that the original and new sprite are in the same spot. But the new one is selec...

I've got it working, but im basically destroying the original first. This kinda makes me feel like the fast replace doesnt work, lol. If anyone has a working example, I'd like to better understand this part of the API. Technically, I shouldn't see a failure if I remove something and replace it... bu...

So in my case im dealing with a list of entities.

Once I swap the entity, is it accurate that I need to remove the old one from the list and add the new entity - that is to ask are they independent internally and need to be managed?

They were both set to "neutral" but I will try reading the property from ent instead. Thanks for the reply

surface.create_entity{name="assembling-machine-2", position=ent.position, force="neutral", fast_replace=true, spill=true, raise_built=true, create_build_effect_smoke=true, recipe = ent.get_recipe().name} So I have a script that grabs an entity (ent) which is an assembling machin...

Note that a recipe can be hidden and enabled:

Looking for some play testers for a mod I've been poking at for a week or so.

0.2.1 is playable but likely needs some balancing. I'd love your thoughts on this proof of concept, if you care to give feedback.

Well I finally got a chance last night to spend a night in the factorio modding sandbox. Just wanted to come back and thank you all again for getting me started. I've posted a day 1 beta of the playground project I started to poke at the API. Maybe someone will find it interesting as it changes the ...

Thanks for the info. Those pages should help.

In theory, normal and expensive should have been defined here, no?
