Unless I'm mistaken, you should be using on_player_configured_blueprint. I might call it a bug that creating a new blueprint immediately sets the blueprint (the player did not confirm anything)*. Following behavior from an event like on_entity_died where the entity is (should be) valid while the eve...

Example code: local path = self.ent.surface.find_entities_filtered{position=self.ent.position, type="resource", limit=1} The code is intended to find a resource that's at the same position as an entity. It works, but the behavior isn't defined in the api: Find entities of given type or name in a giv...

A subtle "conflict" is when you go to blueprint over existing stuff, and it's not "marked for upgrade" or however it might be implemented (one can't place a ghost on it since it would collide). There was a single topic back in 2015: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=9296 Would be a n...

...I was looking at this before bed and was way overthinking it. Once I have the carriage in front of the locomotive, the desired order of train.carriages is known. Increment/decrement from there. This should solve the problem.

... It's useful, but not quite consistent with what I might like to have happen, I suppose: oddtrain.jpg Some small tweaks only to the print code: lib.print_carriages = function(event) local player = game.players[1] if player == nil then return end local ent = player.selected if ent == nil then ret...

... Thank you for your reply. There was an idea that since one of the locomotives is special in this case, a solution could be find which way it faces when disconnected (maybe update the record if someone rotates it), and recreating the original carriage order by decrementing/incrementing in the di...

Issue: what is the logic for train carriage order when using 'connect stock'? A train and all the wagons can reorient (carriage.orientation) when making a connection - including a reversal of all the carriages in train.carriages. This causes problems if a uniform carriage order is necessary, as in t...

The infinite setting in wave defense has no notice when one kills all the tracked spawners, even though more exist. I was playing with someone and we thought the scenario broke after a save/load. I went digging and found that no, "infinite" was accidentally true, and all the spawners the waves came ...

It can be awkward finding a game one recently played if it's not one of the big soft-mod / scenario / clan-style servers. A side box with recent server names, and if possible, recorded address would be sufficient: record the last 5 or so connections, and then click one, and it tries to connect and s...

See about if ending it in .0 or using scientific notation does anything. There's an impossibly small chance something weird is going on with how the number is interpreted. The config file also has verbose-logging and check-unused-prototype-data, which may hint if something isn't right. Neither of t...

Why doesn't checking for LuaEntityPrototype->fluidbox_prototypes->production_type "input" or "input-output" work? To be perfectly accurate you need to check the crafting categories and whatnot to see if there is a recipe it could craft which uses fluid as an ingredient, but I don't see why that woul...

Temperature might only apply to things which can become "active": assemblers, steam engines, etc. Try setting a maximum as well, and you can enter numbers in scientific notation: 1e6 = 1000000

What is this grid of red squares on the map? I've seen it many times but have no idea what it means? 5x5 grid of red squares on factorio map.jpg Looks like a debug option. Hit F4 and see if there's a show-"something" option that has a checkbox. Turn them off one-by-one to see if it's one of those (...

Tried more things. One example: local asm = data.raw["assembling-machine"]["assembling-machine-1"] asm.idle_animation = table.deepcopy(asm.animation) asm.idle_animation.layers[1].animation_speed = 1 asm.always_draw_idle_animation = true asm.match_animation_speed_to_activity = false asm.animation = n...

in data-final-fixes: local asm = data.raw["assembling-machine"]["assembling-machine-1"] asm.idle_animation = table.deepcopy(asm.animation) asm.always_draw_idle_animation = true Used that code as a test for why an idle animation wasn't working in a mod. It looks like something is broken about it, bec...

Setting input_flow_limit to "0W" has very unusual effects (tested on assembling-machine entity). Example snippet of code: elE.energy_source = { type = "electric", usage_priority = "secondary-input", buffer_capacity = "5MJ", output_flow_limit = "0W", input_flow_limit = "0W", drain = "0W", render_no_p...

Cool, thanks.
