Now i'm thinking about automatically moving superfluous items from chests to the player's output or trash inventory when pasting requests from a recipe.
Will probably the feature of the next version.

v0.0.1 is released.
All features mentioned in the previous post have been implemented.

This is supposed to become the future homepage of the Lindors Advanced Combat mod.
OP will be updated in the future to become more descriptive.

Hey :)

"__base__/prototypes/entity/sounds.lua":
function "sounds.large_explosion(volume)" has an unused "volume" parameter.

The volume is always set to 0.55 in spite of different prototypes trying to set different volumes.

Examples from "__base__/prototypes/entity/explosions.lua ...

Okay.
Well, since the modders are required to update their mods for any new game version, complete forwards-compatibility will never happen anyway.

It just makes me sad because i see massive wasted potential here.

If there was just one simple rule, namely that tables inside tables must be ...

Honestly, data.raw is pure chaos.

Even for the same entry in the same prototype, just over multiple game versions:

Sometimes the entry is a table
Sometimes it's a table of a table
Sometimes it's a table of multiple non-uniquely-identifyable tables

For a game like factorio that is generally ...

Or, another idea for a good paradigm would be that every table without a "type" or "name" identifier always has a unique key. Like every graphics table with the key "head" cannot contain other tables. Therefore, if a table does not contain a "type" or "name" property, we always know that we want an ...

And there's one unsolvable problem:

Sometimes we want to insert a value into a table without a type or name identifier. But such tables cannot be uniquely identified other than by the key, but the key is arbitrary and can always change in the future.

Example:
data.raw:

{
type = "beam",
name ...

Spotted a small mistake in the code above. Only applies if you're setting up a completely new prototype instead of altering an existing one. I'll still leave it here so you can learn from my mistake. Here's the fixed code:


--set up function names to be local and allow for recursion
local copy ...

Hello :)
I have just posted a Vanilla suggestion, but since it's also kinda a mod request, i want to post it here as well:

https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&p=589635#p589635

I'm trying my best to come up with a mod myself, but my time is very limited atm and i'd love if anyone would ...

Hello :)
First of all, i'd be happy for all mods provided, i just couldn't find any non-cheaty mods which solve this yet. Also feel free to interpret this as a mod request, i'd just also like to have it in Vanilla.

What i want is a lategame logistics solution which is scalable, isn't cheaty and ...

Turns out that the code i have written was absolutely terrible. But i came up with a solution:


--very fast deepcopy of any non-recursive lua object without metatable support
local copy
do copy = function(obj)
if type(obj) ~= "table" then
do return obj end
else
local result = {}
for k, v in ...

Hello dear devs :),

Let's suppose you want to add an area-attack to data.raw["beam"]["laser-beam"]. You deepcopy the table and add your area attack to laserBeam.action. Now if for some reason future vanilla factorio also decides to add an area attack, ours would overwrite this.

What we need is a ...

v0.0.0 is released. It has been tested and seems to be working :D :lol:

For future versions i'm thinking about mod settings like

maximum amount of requested stacks per item
minimum amount of empty output-inventory stacks
maybe maximum amount of "value" per request, like one processing unit ...

This is supposed to be the homepage of the Lindors Advanced Pasting mod.

Features:
Setting requests for logistic chests via copy-and-pasting doesn't exceed the chest's inventory any more.
Additionally, requests come in multiples of maximum stack size per item.
Keeps request item ratios as closely ...

This is supposed to be the future homepage for the Lindors Advanced Solar mod.
Feel free to discuss the mod here All opinions are welcome.

OP will probably be updated in the future to become more descriptive.

Hello :)

I came back to factorio after 4 years and want to create a lot of mods now, and right on top of my list is the logistic network. What i envision so far:



1. Logistic chests get an (ingame settable) ID and can only request from / send to chests inside the same network with the same ID ...

Ah, i see. Thank you <3

Hi,

Can you help me understanding something?
If i run the code

tab = {1,3}
result = {tab}
tab = {1,4}
return result

it outputs {1, 3}, as i expected.
But if i run the code

local x = 3
local tab = {}
local result = {}
for k = 2, x do
for v = 1, k do
tab[v] = v
end
result[#result+1] = tab ...

Don't worry anymore, i finished the mod and so far at least in singleplayer everything is working as i hoped. Again a big thank you for making this mod possible. As i said, i thanked you in the mod description, eradicator (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/logistic-chest-overflow). I've learned some ...
