Getting some weird behaviour on Rampant 0.15.9 on Factorio 0.15.12 (headless server, Linux). Biters in distant areas (away from players) gather into weird crescent shapes and UPS starts to drop. I've had to enable Nocturnal to make the game somewhat playable. AutoDeconstruct: 0.1.8 AutoTrash: 2.0.2 ...

Just a note, disabling angels-enablefluidreq after having it set true will not fix the ores to no longer require fluids.

EDIT: Disregard, config management system wasn't managing my config.

Or, you could have a script fire up the headless version, with the save file, and use the RPC mechanism that is in place already to query the game, and then shut down the server again. Yes, and I already have a working RCON connection in another project of mine. However, Lua doesn't have everything...

We don't have a fixed-size format - everything is serialized. So you have to know what a piece of data means before you can say how many bytes you should read. For strings (as you've already found) that works out as 4 bytes for size then size-bytes of the actual string. For everything else you'd ha...

Maybe "known content" attack? There is a mod that generates all water world https://mods.factorio.com/mods/FuzzCat927/waterworld . I can't find 0.15 version of it, but i think it exists (i saw it once inside a game mod list). Maybe scenario editor and prepare some maps and analyze it afte...

Dave, you are totally no fun. N1X1S, if you ask nicely (I recommend irc) devs might tell you a thing or two. They are very fun people and generally open and not under any strong NDA as far as I know :) Already discussed it in IRC, and the conclusion was that the devs don't want to discuss save file...

Right off the bat, I know the devs are likely under NDA and won't be able to answer this, so this is more pointed at the community. I've managed to figure out the general structure of the level.dat file format (and, by extension, level-init.dat). I enjoy poking around at stuff like this, and am curr...

Maybe I misunderstand the report. Is the whole blueprint rotated differently than previewed or the individual machines (inserters, transport belts) have different rotations while the whole blueprint structure has the correct rotation? It's like the blueprint has been rotated once with R when you pl...

Brief Description Destroyed storage tanks (and possibly pipes) that are rebuilt by construction robots have the fluid that was in them when they were destroyed.

It would be helpful to be able to receive a count of a given item within a logistics network.

Use case: Tree farm determining how many logs are within the network the construction bots are putting deconstructed trees into.

Brief Description Character logistics behaves inconsistently on 0.9.5+. Logistics robots will fail to deliver products to the character, even if in stock, until the player selects or modifies the logistics slot in their inventory.

Introducing mod-version 0.10! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/833/mo2o.png This version adds a new tier2 treefarm! How does it works? Easy. Place an advanced field, the overlay displays the area that is covered. Supply it with seeds, you can either do it "old-school" with belts and ...

Just a note: Direct downloads now appear to be working. (Needed to switch from 64bit to 32bit so when my mod memleaks it didn't eat up all my RAM in 2 seconds.)

Thanks, I greatly appreciate this. In the future, where should I be looking for this sort of information?

Regarding the deconstruction trigger: When you have spare time (which is rare, I completely understand), could you please let us know what we're supposed to be calling? I've checked the wiki and the forums without success. Looping through the entity's metatables and listing the available functions i...

It would be highly useful to have a way for Lua to mark an object for deconstruction, similar to the Deconstruction Planner. Use Cases: Automated harvesting of trees/crops (such as with a mod I am working on) Automated building removal (automated expansion?) Cancel deconstruction Proposed interface:...

Is there a method by which I can mark an object for deconstruction? The idea is to have an object on the map that marks trees within a certain radius for deconstruction by the construction robots.

I'll go ahead and make a request for this, then, after making sure it wouldn't be duplicating a prior request. Thanks.

I'm planning a mod which introduces the concept of agriculture to the game. One of the requirements for this to work would be an ag-bot entity that flies around, planting seeds and harvesting grown plants. I've looked at the game's code, and it seems all entities have hard-coded behavior. Is it stil...
