starting the game with: `--load-scenario base/freeplay` Starts up a game where the map is restricted to 50 by 50. If you quit and then go to the new game menu, on the map gen settings menu the height and width fields under advanced are both set to 50. Attempting to override these 50 values with --ma...

Mine load fine on 1.1.101. Are you trying to start one from the new game menu, or load an old save?
Maybe attach a log?

I'm not sure which thread this should go on. So to summarize, this isn't a simple issue due to the following combining: 1. recipes of furnaces are auto-selected based on the inputs 2. when there's no input, there's no recipe 3. when there's no recipe, the furnace doesn't check to see if one craft wo...

An assembler's status will report Output Full as soon as they are full enough that inserters will not load additional ingredients into them. This makes sense and allows for easy diagnoses for why your machines aren't running. A furnace's status on the other hand, doesn't report Output Full until you...

I just got around to testing this out on a 1.1.94 Linux build with the same results: Again, no NAT punch requests sent until I opened up the match server GUI and selected the game from there.

Old post, but it still shows up in the google search results and there's now a solution: if the key is a question mark ("?"), then the first valid parameter will be used. A parameter can be invalid if its name doesn't match any string template. If no parameters are valid, the last one is r...

I'm pretty confused by this advise. AFAIK the __MAGIC__ notations only work for the localisation cfg file as well as apparently the console (but not in the way I was expecting.) Here's a few things I tried: In data.lua data.raw.furnace['stone-furnace'].localised_name = "Lol __ENTITY__electric-f...

In case you haven't gotten this working yet, you don't even need two separate installations, they can use the same installation, you just need two "write directories" and two config files (I usually put the config files in the usual ./config/config.ini location within the write directory) ...

When attempting to re-join a server, NAT Punching is not attempted. After taking a nice lunch break from a multiplayer game that's hosted behind an NAT, you'll find that it won't connect when you try to re-join. However, if you browse to the same game and join from the browse public menu, it joins u...

Inventories whose entity prototypes were defined with enable_inventory_bar = false like the spaceship wreckage still support the bar in lua. /c game.player.selected.get_inventory(defines.inventory.chest).set_bar(1) will block all slots /c game.print(game.player.selected.get_inventory(defines.invento...

I have this same issue, and I really like the resolution of modifying get_prototype to get_prototypes which would return the table of fluidbox_protptypes that are connected to the fluidbox.

Thanks for the reply. I was originally asking because it seemed like the prototypes that supported rotation but whose entities didn't wouldn't change the player's build rotation direction when rotated in hand. However, upon further testing they do indeed affect the player's build rotation, so all is...

Stone furnace entities don't support direction: /c game.player.print(game.player.selected.supports_direction) Returns False. However, the stone furnace prototype does support direction: /c game.player.print(game.player.selected.prototype.supports_direction) returns True. This seems to be the case fo...

I've been playing around with LuaTransportLines and it seems like every function only is dealing with the segment of internal transport line that is passing through the owner entity. Except for output_lines and input_lines where these seem to reference the LuaTranportLine whose owner is the entity w...

I'm trying to read and/or write the direction of the cursor (for building an entity) but I haven't found any api to do so. I thought I might have a clever workaround by pipetting an entity that has the desired orientation with LuaPlayer.pipette_entity, but unfortunately, the direction is not taken f...

I have the same issue in vanilla. Maybe we need to initialize something? Here's a one liner that I ran on a map with just a solar panel, small electric pole, and radar. /c game.player.print(#game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{name="small-electric-pole"}[1].electric_network_statisti...

1. What I did: I joined a game hosted on a linux headless server from a windows client. I got the current server whitelist with /whitelist get . I opened the server configuration gui using the /config command from the console. I opened the whitelist editor. I found a list of player names that did no...

[...] miscommunication is common, and that a certain level of (at least attempt at) civility should be assumed by default. [...] I totally agree with this.
