You don't have too much code yet, so I'd say keep everything in control.lua. Once that is growing too long it may make sense to restructure things and put functions that belong together into different files Alright cheers. It's probably going to take me some time to integrate some of these tips but...

There are more events you should listen to! They are raised with different arguments, so you must adjust the values. About your function: You should make sure that housing and reactor are on the same surface (which is not guaranteed to be game.surfaces[1] as mods like Factorissimo or SE will create...

Update 2: I figured it out! It's probably a disgusting piece of code, it will probably kill the UPS, but it works! God, I'm so happy, I love life and from now on I love Lua as well. -- call script.onevent, tell it we want to do something when an entity is built, and give another anonymous function t...

Okay update: I see now the usual invisible entity contraption is the only solution. So far I've got this after repairing some insanely broken code I found elsewhere on the forum: -- call script.onevent, tell it we want to do something when an entity is built, and give another anonymous function that...

Hi, I'm trying to make a type of building for my mod that requires and consumes a certain "fuel" constantly to keep a bar from depleting, regardless of whether it is actually working on a recipe at that moment or not. I thought before that this would be pretty easy since the nuclear reacto...

Hey Pyanodon, Really love your mod; I recently started my third run with it. I also like the balancing that's happened since 0.16, it makes the mod a whole lot more UPS-friendly :D I did notice that electronic components now require their predecessor, like resistor 2 requires resistor 1 in the recip...

I made a working prototype of this mod that procedurally parses the technology tree to generate energy tokens based on science packs. credit to LuxArdens for the idea. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/scientorio Though i suspect you have other ideas about how such tokens should be managed. Procedural ...

Problem is that over time you will loose obsidian bricks. For example buildings get destroyed by aliens. Does that destroy the brick? Or does it drop the brick as loot? Worse: When the user changes a recipe in an assembler the running recipe is lost destroying one obsidian brick. I don't think ther...

Yeah sounds like those houses can just be chests that host a fixed number of "workers", meaning each one will only ever be given 100, or however many. There are no major exploits by simply counting how many "workers" you initially added to the chests, and by counting when entiti...

Ah, thank you, unfortunate that such an event doesn't exist (although I'm sure it's for a good reason). There could be a better way to do what you're trying to do without using an item counter and limiter. E.g. "when max demand for an item is reached, stop requesting said item" for example...

I enthusiastically started constructing a new overhaul mod, that introduces population and 'labor (force)' as something you have to put on a belt and use to craft objects. Yesterday, however, I realized that there is a critical concept to what I want to achieve, that the entire mod hinges on, and if...
