Why not modify the dying_trigger_effect to not spawn them in the first place? Do you need it to be dynamic as to if they spawn or not? You could replace the trigger with a script trigger then.

Oh this gets more complicated... because I forgot that blueprint items and records are different. So we'd also like to be able to move a record to be an item in a an inventory and vice-versa. Maybe getters and setters would make more sense. Sorry for requesting half baked...

Although... if ...

Right now items with data like spidertron remotes, blueprints, etc. as well as LuaRecords in quick bar slots result in get_quick_bar_slot returning nil for that index. That's not ideal when we're trying to figure out what's there. According to the docs I guess that's expected, but could we get a ...

Right now mods can modify LuaRecords already within the game library, but they can't add, remove, or relocate LuaRecords to, from, or within the library.

This makes the libraries unusable for blind players that can't use the drag and drop library interface. It would therefore be nice if mods could ...

Just tested on Linux steam version with the same json file, with the same result. Am I just doing something wrong in the json file?

Here are the saves it generated and the .json file I used

Steps to reproduce:

Edit the map-get-settings-example.json file to set the seed to a uint32
Create two maps with factorio --map-gen-settings map-gen-settings.example.json --create test(1|2) (adapt to your desired folder stucture)
Compare the maps
(optional) run /seed to see the seeds ...

Both build_from_cursor and can_build_from_cursor seem to apply the new range check that was introduced for normal mode to forced and super_forced mode as well.

Running: /c p=game.player.position;game.player.build_from_cursor({position={p.x+20,p.y},build_mode=defines.build_mode.forced}) fails ...

Starting the game with most launch options in versions 2.0.71 and below creates a config.ini file when none existed. This could be used to programmatically get the default configuration for newer versions.
Now in 2.0.72, a configuration file isn't created until the player changes a setting. Even ...

In my opinion this is not a bug.

If I have a dedicated roket silo that's being inserter loaded I expect that a logistics rocket won't deliver that item.

Say I have a dedicated silo for tungston bar and a ship that requests five rocket loads. The dedicated silo gets loaded and launches three or ...

Factorio Access would like to announce the state when it's toggled.
I was hoping it was just undocumented on the LinkedGameControl page but it throws an error when I try.

unrelated to the maybe formatting bug, but you might be interested in __CONTROL_MODIFIER__name__ instead of hard-coding shift. And/or __CONTROL_STYLE_BEGIN__ and __CONTROL_STYLE_END__ instead of the font and color.

Right now it seems that build_from_cursor and can_build from cursor ignore any crusor_ghost you have: doing nothing and returning false respectively.

Reproduction:
/c game.player.clear_cursor()
/c game.player.cursor_ghost = "stone-furnace"
/c game.player.build_from_cursor{ position = game ...

I am joining the request because when generating a map I get an error, for example:

0.000 Error Util.cpp:81: Key "asteroids" not found in property tree at ROOT

It would be nice if the file was updated and included descriptions

That's in map-settings.example.json which was already updated to ...

Setup:

Two connected substations.
Disconnect them.
Call LuaSurface::can_place_entity{name="substation", position=<between them>}

Expected:
substations remain disconnected after step 3.
Actual:
Substations get reconnected after step 3.

Calling /c game.print(game.player.can_build_from_cursor({position={0,0}})) with a stone furnace in hand while out of range will display the flying text "cannot reach" at 0,0 and play the error noise.

This also occurs ...

Can you two elaborate on your use cases further? It might help add some clarity on a design.


For Factorio Access, I think the only thing we'd really want to revert is LuaPlayer.game_view_settings.update_entity_selection.
I'd imagine all of those game view settings would probably be good to ...

I second this request. I think it would be most easily achompplished with a single lua file removal_migration.lua or something. The code in there would be like a migration script except it couldn't have any imports which would allow the file to run without the mod as long as it was saved into the ...

With space age, now there's more versions to contend with. We can't even tell if it's an expansion build or alpha build from the version string. They both just say "full".

I'm guilty of corrupting an install by trying to apply the wrong version update using the third party updaters mentioned above ...
