First off, I LOVE what you're doing with the expansion. Secondly, I LOVE your latest series of FFF. None of the following criticisms are intended to detract from either of these. :lol: I was super excited to see the wireless signal transmission feature of the Radars until I read this: So we decided ...

Hello, I really found the "Data Lifecycle" documentation page very helpful when I was reading it the other day struggling to remember how the various initialization-related events worked. It's great, but there were a few outstanding questions in my mind after reading it. #1. I had a quest...

Super helpful, thank you!

@boskid if it's all right with you I might try to distill your detailed answer into a small set of enhancements to be added to the Data Lifecycle documentation page.

The (fantastic and very helpful) "Data lifecycle" documentation page says the following about on_configuration_changed(): [5] on_configuration_changed() This step runs for all mods if the save's mod configuration has changed. The configuration is considered to be different when the major g...

Yo!

This feature was added in version 1.1.64. Can a mod move this thread to the 'implemented' folder?

I know this is engaging in massive thread-necromancy here but I too really would be interested in this API. Thinking some way to: 1. Read current long-term destination entity (robot's target job). Write would be nice too, but admittedly the rules around this could be complex. 2. Read/write the curre...

A viable alternative could be to just go to bed, have a sleep, and let the motivation renew itself overnight.

Nah.

We want to make new things for Factorio because we like playing Factorio This. I'm sure you already know this, but *this* is why you made such a great game. Certainly, it's not the *only* reason Factorio is so good, but you can tell that Factorio just screams "we have played this to death and ...

Hi Wube, First off, I want to say that - like everyone here - I really think highly of y'all and what you've accomplished. So if you think an expansion is the right way to go from here, I am absolutely inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt and will be doing so. That being said, I felt I owed...

I, too, would really like this feature. But as stated in this thread, after thinking about the problem and looking at various mods: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/GhostScanner https://mods.factorio.com/mod/logistic-signals I have also come to the realization that this feature: A) is NOT at all easy t...

Just saw in the 0.18.20 release notes this is implemented. Thanks much! I'll be updating my mod this weekend to make use of this

I assume this should be moved now to Implemented mod requests?

Thanks again!!

I also happen to be spending a lot of time in the VM's guts along the way, so I'm looking for other unchecked assumptions that need testing as I go too, but most of the ones I've found so far are pretty boring (posila mentioned a few of the ones that seemed interesting and got some work). We also l...

Okay, will do. Expect a PM this evening @lityge.

Thank you for the email, by the way.

NP. Thank you for the great game! The factory must grow!

@justarandomgeek Ahhhh, that makes sense. I can see the argument. Realistically, though, I'm just not sure the Lua VM interpreter can be locked down sufficiently well. The interpreter code just doesn't seem designed with that in mind. Then again, if anyone is to be successful at securing the interpr...

What did your partial escape allowed you to do ? If you can send me the technical details I am very curious ! Hey, happy (and even eager) to share, but in my initial email note about the issue to the Factorio devs I promised to keep the details under wraps. So I'm gonna keep to that promise unless ...

I don't know if you are the same person who emailed us a couple of weeks ago ... if so, I guess nobody responded to you (sorry). Hey ... I was the one who emailed, and yes, you folks *did* respond to me (thanks!). Since the cat's out of the bag now, I guess it sort-of no longer does any harm to com...

Apologies for the thread necromancy, but I actually had the same problem. Yeah, I know, I shouldn't be building massive logistics networks across my base, but I can't resist! I'm addicted to massive networks. It's an illness, what can I say? :D Anyway (somewhat shameful) plug, I wrote a mod that all...

Title: Tactical Construction Short Description: Tactical Construction provides a per-player toggle that - when enabled - prioritizes the local player's roboport for construction requests (as opposed to allowing construction requests to be satisfied by any statically-placed logistics network that ov...

Hi, This could quite possibly be a bad/terrible idea™ but here goes... Issue summary: I'd like to have a way to programmatically set/override a force's color. Or, if that's not possible/easy/advisable, lock it from alteration due to the first player in the force changing. Details: At present, a forc...

Hi, Issue summary: I'd like to have a way to find only entities marked for deconstruction. Details: Currently to find to-be-deconstructed entities we have to find all entities then iterate them to filter the ones marked for deconstruction: local entities = surface.find_entities{area=bounds, force=.....
