Didn't there used to be an start-up error if fast-replaceable entities weren't the same size? (or close) I see the problem as it can replace the first entity, but collides with another. Even if it "could" replace the other one, it is an exception that *might* only work with pipes (a big as...

Set-up: power_pole_bug.jpg Start of error: power_pole_migration_crash.log Only code used: if true then local sep = data.raw["electric-pole"]["small-electric-pole"] data.raw["electric-pole"]["small-electric-pole"] = nil sep.type = "simple-entity-with-force...

If a fluid has the base_color or flow_color property specified with indexed numbers e.g. { 151, 0, 147 }, the barrel is tinted with an alpha channel using a, which breaks the coloring. Specifically, in base/data-updates.lua, line 59: local side_tint = util.table.deepcopy(fluid.base_color) side_tint....

A projectile created can't have a `cause` applied which appears in the on_entity_damaged/died event, and while the projectile can have a force applied, it doesn't propagate force modifiers (specifically damage). In my case, the projectile is a script-created grenade. A player force can be applied, b...

What do you mean with "restart"? Explain exactly what you do please. Hit escape. Click "Restart". I forgot to mention what I thought should happen: The game restarts with the settings used at creation (New Game or otherwise). Doesn't make sense in my opinion, to restart with cur...

To reproduce: 1) start freeplay 2)run command (twice because of the command warning) : /c game.map_settings.enemy_evolution.time_factor = game.map_settings.enemy_evolution.time_factor * 2 game.print(game.map_settings.enemy_evolution.time_factor) 3) restart, run the command again. Each restart + comm...

In my experience mouse switches fail way too often . Mind humoring me and trying a site like https://www.onlinemictest.com/mouse-test/ ? Not the most accurate test, but if you see an unexpected change in the left click while left clicking then it would be the mouse. Moving the finger around the butt...

A note on get_fluid_count() and get_fluid_contents() where defined, that they do not capture temperature details, and fluidboxes should be used directly [in the cases where temperature is relevant]. Related to: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=221&t=100323 -> Appreciate the context, ...

So what is the solution or work around for this then? Any ideas? Should mods leave all hidden entities blueprintable and included in the blueprint and not have any proxy objects at all? There seems to be no way to convert placed entities into proxy objects and preserve their data when updating a bl...

A progressbar element cannot have the bar_width changed in control. This precludes scaling existing bars, or having many bars at different scale without creating prototypes for each.

It's not uncommon for a mod to use LuaEntity.get_fluid_contents() and inadvertently need to be patched later because of temperatures. I'd like to request temperature be returned as a second argument, or at least, indicate that temperatures may matter and the function "doesn't completely describ...

Hmm, I think you can just use a map of `[index] = index`, which would be performant enough and easy to maintain Thanks for the reply. With your hint, I tried with a numbered key, and with a string - both work (assumed you were offering a player index used twice). Edit: also I think I didn't realize...

Turns out I can't use force *and* players to restrict only to those players on a certain force... I still have to build the table anyway. I guess there's 2 API requests, players-as-dictionary and filterable by force (even only filtered by a single force would be enough - an optional me-and-us-vs-the...

I'm currently writing a mod where I would like visibility of a rendered object to be enabled/disabled as a player option. There's no difficulty with this, except there is a slightly bothersome interface: the player visibility in rendering functions. I can store player visibility as a table local to ...

Settings aren't really documented at all, which may be more of the "confusion". The only page is: https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Mod_settings . With regards to data and data:extend, extend is a function you can see in core/lualib/dataloader.lua (it is nothing magical, just puts stuff ...

Not 100% sure it belongs to that page, but I can confirm settings are accessible in data.raw (from the setting stage at least). But it's nowhere to be seen in https://wiki.factorio.com/Data.raw example in settings-updates.lua: data.raw["bool-setting"]["Schall-VS-XL-t2-enable"].o...

data.raw["mining-drill"]["electric-mining-drill"].module_specification = nil That is enough to expose bad, and potentially mod-breaking behavior: 1) with vanilla, the circuit settings are inaccessible. Default behavior of reading what is under the miner is all that can occur. 2)...

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaEntity.html#LuaEntity.copy_settings copy_settings only raises on_pre_entity_settings_pasted and on_entity_settings_pasted when a player is passed. It would seem fitting to permit the player value to be optional in the events, and have copy_settings raise paste ...

The commandline flag is --use-authserver-bans and the config option is enable-authserver-side-bans=true

Thanks, and thanks to vinzens

A few people have asked about a server-settings.json to enable authserver bans. Only option appears to be enabling it from the in-game create server options.

1) Is there one? 2) could it be added to server-settings.example.json ?
