Even exposing the train schedule list may be enough for some cases. Though, IMO, maybe not at the cost of having to maintain it for backward compatibility if/when a proper drag-and-drop list is added. And then again, if there isn't one currently, doesn't mean there can't be one. Even when it will ta...

And frankly, I'm getting tired of being told "you can do this yourself by just manually building a table blah blah blah" as if that's the solution (vs getting the request pushed through). There already exists a table of everything in the game right in the LuaGame object. Why should I add ...

Why do you want such a function in the first place when tile and entity prototypes, as you have noted, don't have in common what you care about?

The importance of fixing this can not be overstated.

It should be noted in what units the various "emissions" runtime properties are. Pollution per second? Pollution per Joule? Something else entirely?

Now that we have game.tick_paused=true/false we can use it to pause a game while chat is still active, and that is GREAT. In my case, I would also like to know how long a pause is/has last, so we can get the statistic of lobby time during a game. https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaGameScript.ht...

I don't see anything in the FAQ or anywhere else about this.

Now its possible using Factorio mod debug for Visual Code, with breakpoints and code analysis.

It's hardcoded into the plugin for each LuaObject type.

To reproduce: 1. Register the following custom input: { type = "custom-input", name = "rb-open-selected", key_sequence = "ALT + mouse-button-1", include_selected_prototype = true, } 2. In-game execute the following command: /c script.on_event('rb-open-selected', functio...

You can partially work around this by doing your stuff when the item proxy is destroyed.

If an empty players table passed to LuaRendering draw functions means "everyone" not "nobody". It'd be convenient if that were noted somewhere.

It is, though maybe not where you'd expect: LuaRendering.set_players.

Can we get a description of what FluidBox#production_type is supposed to mean as opposed to PipeConnectionDefinition#type? Description for both, maybe?

Implemented in 1.1.58.

entity's

-> Thanks, fixed.

Can only be used if this is ModuleItem

So can it or can it not be used on other items?

-> Thanks, I decided to remove the redundant description text.

An item stack button would be helpful. Doesn't have to be sprite-button specifically.

I'm not so sure about hiding old versions. It can be useful for debugging mod interaction to know in what version a certain behaviour, feature, entity etc. has been introduced. Finding nothing about it because the game decided that version was too old and the entry should be hidden would make life ...

IMO, it was wrong to merge these topics. They suggest different and only loosely related things.

Anyway, I am here to support the "only new changes" suggestion. The game already does this on game update, it should be easy to add it for mods as well.

If you think it's a bug, report it in the correct forum, not write to modding API requests.

Types/StyleSpecification#effect need description, or at the very least a list of possible values.
-> The list of possible values is hardcoded to one value, severely limiting its usefulness. But it's documented now, thank you for pointing it out.
