RIP the high-speed packed biter bounce, and RIP some enemy groups becoming stuck. Both should help my mod, thanks!

There is a subtle reason I haven't tried; I want to perform this action every tick, on multiplayer. Ne pas.

Indeed. For the dev's information, I came across this inconsistency when the following error was obtained during a .connect_neighbour() call in my scenario: "Expected source_wire_id for entities with more than one wire connection." The parameters for .connect_neighbour() were taken as exac...

The API definition for WireConnectionDefinition states that the field wire should be "either defines.wire_type.red or defines.wire_type.green." IE, not copper. But also listed are two fields source_wire_id and target_wire_id, and it seems to be stated that these are to specify the type of ...

For a mod I'm making, I'd like to be able to clear the chart without tags disappearing. I assume that clear_chart just nils the chart, but would it be possible to provide a way to clear the chart but leaving the tags?

That's a good point. I'd make it go out faster: The details matter more in scenarios with lots of water, like Pirate Ship.

If you throw fire from a flamethrower, it will maintain a fire on tiles like water-shallow, which seem wrong.

I have a tabbed-pane LuaGuiElement that I've inserted directly onto player.gui.screen, and I'd like the height of the tabbed-pane to depend on the height of the contents of the currently open tab.

This doesn't happen automatically, and I don't see any modding interface for it.

Help?

Thanks for the reply. My scenario runs scripts based on charge delivered to a rocket silo, but even with installing 4x Prod 3 modules, and removing all energy from the silo energy bugger every tick, the fixed electric_input_flow_limit means it can still only draw a maximum of 18MW. It's a bit diffic...

I run a multiplayer scenario (softmod) in which it would be convenient to modify this value for LuaEntity. I notice in the past, in 0.15, it was writable.

Is this something easy to make writable again, or does that have complications?

I shall, thank you!

Hmm. Windows players crashed — only sometimes — when joining the scenario, with crash logs: 00007FFCA5D62651 (ntdll): (filename not available): RtlUserThreadStart Stack trace logging done 32.504 Error SpriteDrawOrder.cpp:72: Invalid sprite reference. Sprite: C:\Users\Big_pc\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\...

I recently released a softmod (a multiplayer scenario with no mods) that uses custom sprites. I call rendering.draw_sprite, with sprite = "file/maps/pirates/images/comfy2.png" This works for me, but I now realise this uses Unix directory notation, not Windows. How do I detect if a player i...

Seems like that might work. As somebody who hasn't used LuaTransportLine much before, can you give any pointers as to how I'd use get_max_transport_line_index() here? Currently, when I clone a bunch of belts and undergrounds, the items on the belt clone across along with the belts but any items unde...

Thanks.

I'd like to clone both ends of an underground belt, and in addition copy over all the items on the LuaTransportLines underground.

This is for a softmod, so API only.

Is that possible?

I’m moving some power poles between surfaces, which involves .clone() because they don’t support .teleport(). Power poles are often disconnected during the process, and I could reconnect them with .connect_neighbour(), but I haven’t managed to find out how to query the power poles before moving for ...

Bump. This is a request to add an option that create_entity{} already has, to clone{}!

Well, I've made progress using .clone() - except for the build effect smoke that comes out. It would be great to make that optional.

Nevermind - trivial problem.

Factorio supports comparing entities with '==' but not with key-value fetching.
