Thank you...mainly because I'm lazy :) nah, I just don't have any great ideas that I feel the need to implement, so I haven't done many mods. I have that exact same problem. I'm not very creative, I guess, so I rarely come up with great ideas to implement. It's really hard for me to come up with an...

Oh you really have to try it. Building train networks is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it in Factorio. Then again I love Transport Tycoon (and OpenTTD) so I might be a tad bit biased. I would love to see path signals (maybe even pre-signals?) in the game someday.

Ahh ok, I don't recall seeing a passenger property mentioned in the wiki. Seems some things are still missing in it.

Glad to hear it was of some use! Metatables are a great thing to know and understand. They are a very powerful mechanism, definitely take some time to look into them.

Make sure to store the character controller somewhere before switching to the god controller. Keep in mind that when you switch to the god controller you will no longer be in a vehicle. Your character controller will still be in the vehicle you entered though. Simply checking if the player left a ve...

Great to hear, thanks Kov!

Is it posible to dynamically assign LUA methods to certain events? That's what I proposed in the OP. Or perhaps a way to attach functions with specific signatures to prototypes. For example, that function would be called any time that type of entity's timer finishes. Basically you would define func...

This would add more modding possibilities but we need to be performance aware. Calling the lua code is quite expensive operation. And there can be many inserters in a big factory calling on pickup every tick. I understand, I assumed that would be an issue. The oninserterpickup was probably a bad ex...

Looking at Lua/Events in the wiki I notice there only seems to be events for the player or game with the exception of "onentitydied". Something I'd like see is events along the lines of... ontimerstarted (smelters/assemblers/miners) contains Entity ontimerfinished (smelters/assemblers/mine...
