Statistics on player mod settings

It might be nice for mod developers if they had a way to view what proportion of recent players have any given value of a mod setting.

[Genhis][2.0.69] Rich text is not lit by rendering.draw_light

The Cerys mod uses a rendering created by rendering.draw_light to light the entire surface instead of the engine's day-night cycle. This causes a issue with use_rich_text=true text renderings in which icons such as [item=processing-unit] are unlit and display as black, as observed in the attached ...

Re: A sibling API to play_sound: play_music

Nice.

I am not sure that a ‘stop’ feature is worthwhile. It seems to raise the possibility that another planet has stopped the music and it is still stopped when the player arrives at my planet — else, if it automatically resumes when changing surfaces, this still introduces footguns when returning ...

A sibling API to play_sound: play_music

Cerys would like custom music to start playing when the player begins launching the hydrogen nuke into orbit to complete the planet.

play_sound does not currently support overriding the music track and would need some extra functionality for this: the currently playing music track for players ...

Re: Recycling items with > 12 ingredients

The previous designation Not a Bug should probably be adjusted, since that the 12 inventory slots limits what the recycler can output even if no more than 1 of those slots is actually occupied by an item.

Re: [2.0.64] Failure to suppress MacOS system accent menu

The issue seems very intermittant. I experienced it all day but only for about 4 days this year.

Note that I am using a standalone client.

Yes, that affects their positioning within rows in the tree views, but not their grouping in the list view nor their positioning within those groups.

ToolPrototype::order_for_unit

The order field on science packs affects two distinct UI:


The order in which the science packs are displayed in the 'unit' of a technology.
The order in which technologies appear on the technology list.


Before Space Age, there was little reason to make these behave differently (and in fact a ...

Re: Event to detect when a cargo pod is launched

Bumping this with a polite FYI. I’d like to point out that tens of thousands of players are running find_entitites_filtered on every space platform above Cerys, Rubia, etc multiple times per second due to this missing API, which hurts performance of modded games.

Since (as mentioned above) cargo ...

[2.0.65] Miscolorations in Aquilo tile transitions

This is not really a bug report but this is the closest forum I could think of.

Most tiles in Factorio have a nice graphics set — however, the graphics for rough ice and for most types of snow have some tile transitions that are miscolored red. Tile transitions are hard for modders to make, so if ...

Re: Roll back feature: "When dragging belts, going forward and back will remove the extra belts built."

Checkbox setting is a bad idea, belt building is a high-complexity system that needs to be fully stable before considering forking all the behavior (not to mention all the corner cases two systems would create when interacting with other systems in the game).

[2.0.64] Failure to suppress MacOS system accent menu

When I hold any key (like 'A' to move), Factorio can under some conditions fail to suppress the native system accent menu on MacOS (version 15.6), which appears in the top-left above the game window (as pictured). This should only appear when writing text.

[2.0.62] Space locations have no tooltip debug info

I sometimes use the debug setting show-debug-info-in-tooltips to know the internal name of a prototype on hover, but this doesn't work for planets and space locations (in Factoriopedia or the starmap).

Quality support for radius_visualisation_specification

In Cerys, higher-quality towers have a larger heating range. For the player-constructible towers that the player can hold in their cursor, the current value of radius_visualisation_specification.distance is 15, which matches their actual heating range at Normal quality, but not higher qualities.

Re: QualityPrototype extended



I appreciate that most of these entries are not capped at 1, because that would break the already working property for the Inverted Quality mod.


How is that? So far a QualityPrototype::level is uint32, which means a default_multiplier = `1 + 0.3 * level` was never able to go below value of 1 ...

[2.0.55] Installing a modpack doesn’t enable dependencies

If you already have certain mandatory dependencies of a modpack installed, then installing the modpack won’t check those dependencies and thus the client will error when the user restarts.

[2.0.55] Loading states in the multiplayer game browser

Several fields show as 'None' while the modlist is being fetched for a multiplayer game, notably including the modlist. This should presumably be blank or 'Loading...'.

This applies to all servers so is easy to reproduce.
