For example if a recipe has 50% chance to output stone, and that product has catalyst_amount = 1 (has to be an int), then when the recipe outputs stone it works as expected (stone does not appear in stats) but when the recipe does not output stone then 1 stone appears in consumption stats. I'm gues...

While your approach makes sense at the first glance, I don't think that mods can (or should be able to --> just think of malicious or buggy mods) restart the game. This would only work if it's implemented in vanilla Just what do you think this API request thread is about? And with the suggestion yo...

What's the reason this got moved to Won't Implement? Probably because this: My immediate reaction: it's working how we want it to: remove the mod and everything it added is removed. If that's not what you want to happen then don't remove the mod. That being said, if someone has better arguments I'l...

Definitely needs an uninstalling migration to solve this. The migration is a JSON migration (the only way to change one prototype into another) that gets stored in the save (updated every time fresh from the mod) and run when the mod is removed (after which the migration itself is removed). This mig...

If you open an inserter, there's the option to override stack size and the related input field. Right now, there's LuaEntity.inserter_stack_size_override, which corresponds to that input field if and only if the override is enabled . Meanwhile the input field shows the actual stack size limit at all...

I made a monospace textbox, but it looks subtly wrong because of the distance between lines of text. I would like to be able to configure that.

Personally, I only care to have this for textbox (for now), but I imagine someone will find it handy for other text-displaying elements as well.

Apparently, it works just fine now. No idea what the issue was.

Still can't search in the Internal category.

Prototype/Sound#aggregation could use a description.

To reproduce, search something with results, then select one of the results' categories. Observe 0 results.

Surprisingly, it works from the in-game mod manager.

LuaEquipmentGrid.inhibit_movement_bonus : "True if this movement bonus equipment is turned off, otherwise false." Sounds like it's a property of an equipment, not of a grid. IMO, this would be better: "True if this grid's movement bonus equipment is turned off, otherwise false."...

I would also like to see this. Right now nesting interactive elements with any control over their alignment is practically impossible.

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaGuiElement.html Just being nitpicky with the description of "radiobutton" type. Functionally I think it is a little bit different from checkbox - when you click a selected checkbox it will deselect, but if you click a selected radio button it stays s...

Some mods keep lots of temporary data out of global to reduce save size. What you suggest may drastically increase the amount of data to transfer on join.

Yes, I had already read that, but every place where I've used radios have something implemented in the backend so any radios placed in the same container are automatically linked and thus change each other's states. I have only seen an automatic implementation like that once in all the frameworks I...

Should the marked for deconstruction event even fire to begin with? There is no marking happening, the entity was already marked.

There seems to be missing from the docs a very important notion: the game-mod boundary. And what happens with table values that cross it. -> Good point, thanks. There will be more of these 'auxiliary' topic pages in the future, and I wrote this one down for that. Will take a while to materialize tho...

How often will someone looking at the downloads *care* except when it's a "mod pack mod"?

FWIW, most of the time I open the downloads page is to see dependencies. I won't mind it being a sibling tab to downloads, but I will mind if I have to load an additional page to get there.

Please note that for control stage lifecycle a mod counts as present in the save only if it had control.lua. Details in Discord.

-> Interesting, noted for 1.1.71, thanks.
