From having played with EI some time ago, i do remember the insulated pipes, it was also necessary to keep liquid oxygen under the liquid form. It is on purpose that the mod author made it this way, "insulated pipes" keep things cold from what i remember. I remember there was a sticky pos...

I didn't think viewtopic.php?f=11&t=104036 was related, but it appears to be.

Checking the Exotic Industries discussion, apparently it's solved by using "Insulated pipes" but without indication of where a logic appears to go wonky, I still feel this is a bug.

Exotic Industries is the only mod needed to produce the following bug, and a saved file is included. What: I was trying to craft "liquid nitrogen" of the game, which takes "nitrogen" and outputs "liquid nitrogen" through a furnace. Reproduction: 1) Place the expected en...

Came across a boolean prototype property, where the example uses "true", when true is preferred (and might be enforced boolean later?) I request that these be changed to just true in examples, because using the "right type" makes the modding simpler. https://lua-api.factorio.com/...

Why not: base_productivity Type: float Default: 0 Productivity bonus that this machine always has. Values below 0 are allowed, however the sum of the resulting effect together with modules and research is limited to be at least 0%, see Types/Effect#productivity. ? It's a sloppy, but giving it -37.26...

I see, there is something under speed for the control phase. I don't think that description is very helpful.

I had a reverse-form of the idea that works like "fluid categories" (I hadn't seen that one or I would've replied to it!) : https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=109467 Rather than restrict the fluids in the pipes, restrict the pipe connections . In my mind it seems a lot mo...

Here's also the first bit of my log with hardware (and legacy'd windows 7) After checking the map size again, it's happening at lower sizes... 512x512 exactly. Sometimes it would double-blink (a single double-blink) when increasing the map dimensions while beneath the "threshold", but not ...

Two images: other_frames.jpg extra_shadow.jpg I thought I was having an odd issue of the *second* image being a bug, but after placing more offshore pumps, it seems the first was the error, and the second is what I'm supposed to be seeing. 2024-02-27 20-49-18.mp4 A save file: weird_only_base.zip I w...

player.opened = nil is how to close a gui, but I believe it's not present, or at least, stated well, in the description of opened: https://lua-api.factorio.com/1.1.102/classes/LuaControl.html#opened "If this attribute is not nil, and a new GUI is written to it, the existing one will be asked to...

Fluid probability is not the same as item probability description:

I assume they work the same?

Some entities cannot have their fluidbox filter set, notably fluid wagons and crafting machines. Might there be room for "updating" existing entities fluidboxes, for the kinds that can't change? As far as I'm aware, a generator doesn't make sense as something configurable at runtime... an...

By "maybe others" I meant possibly other properties, though maybe this applies to other entities too, if they have a filtered fluidbox.

The default max temperature of a filtered fluidbox seems to be taken from the fluid's max temperature, except that if the max temperature is increased (changed at all?) the max temperature of the fluidbox for existing entities on the ground isn't updated. Picture of situation: fluidboxes.jpg Simple ...

Example, borrowed from someone else:

LuaGuiElement.select(start, end), in terms of Lua, creates an illegal identifier (end being a reserved keyword). Since it isn't actually constructed on the Lua side, this poses no issue at present in itself. It's not that big of a deal, but for tools that may translate documentation into wrappers (e...

A problem has come up for modders sometimes, where they want to use special modules restricted to miners or labs. At present, mods can detect many behaviors like player insertion, bots being requested to put in modules, etc. The one case where it is incredibly difficult / almost impossible / reasona...
