Using deconstruction planner from player's library to deconstruct an area via player.cursor_record.deconstruct_area invocation has no effect.

Reproduction steps


Start a new game, and place some belts and belt ghosts in vicinity of the shipwreck.
Create a deconstruction planner ...

Description

When changing the force of a requester chest entity, Request from buffer chests option is not preserved.

Reproduction steps


Start a new game, enable the cheat mode.
Create a new (friendly) force using the console:

/c player_ally = game.create_force("player.ally")
/c player ...

Hello,

Would it be possible to introduce some form of button/functionality to the mods management user interface that would allow player (modpack developer) to download all missing dependencies for the mod(pack) with a single click?

The main use-case for this would be the ability to easily work ...

Since I just got hit by this one, maybe I can at least try to shed some light on what I think happens. And in some ways, I am doing something similar where I register event handler for on_nth_tick, but only when required (my mod does some processing of delivered equipment, and if there's nothing ...

This was fixed in 1.1.77 experimental.


Ah, thanks for letting me know - I was browsing through the version history listing and this seemed somewhat related, but never got around to testing with the experimental version (probably should have done that, truth be told - lesson learned fro the ...

To follow-up on this topic, I ended-up using plain container entities, and recreating them (instead of cloning) if the target entity's surface changes. Cloning is not required since I empty out the container as the first step of processing (basically install the equipment into grid or just spill it ...

Description

When holding a blueprint or blueprint book in a cursor that has a name set on it, and hovering over a button GUI element, it is impossible to read the button tooltip, since the blueprint/blueprint book name is drawn on top of the tooltip.

While in vanilla game this is usually not a ...

Description

GUI elements anchored (attached) to one of the sides (left/right/top/bottom) of game's built-in windows. This is helpful for providing context-dependent buttons to player for some of the operations.

However, when such GUI elements are anchored to the bottom of windows that occupy ...

Ah... I've misread (or skimmed more likely) the error message that I received when trying to teleport the wooden chest. I was passing-in the surface as well, and didn't realise that was the thing preventing the chest from being teleported. Thanks for pointing out that one.

Hm... I'll have to think ...

Hm... Yeah, looks like it would be difficult to do what I've asked for. It felt like the right thing to do, but it's probably not worth it.

In the meantime I've went ahead and implemented a small prototype where I use a custom car entity (since I need some form of container entity that can teleport ...

'ello all,

To give some background, I am working on a mod that would allow templating (export/import) of vehicle equipment grids using blueprints. The export part was fairly simple, but import is giving me some headaches. The import code is currently based on using the item request proxies to ...

Description

Locomotives can be customised to have an equipment grid where player can insert supported equipment items. In addition to manual insertion of equipment by player, it is also possible to create an item request proxy entity targeting the locomotive entity that contains one or more ...

As it turns out, I have faced a similar issue while, ironically, working on a mod that makes it possible to blueprint (export/import) equipment grid layout/configuration for vehicles.

One thing I ended-up doing was having one item request proxy per equipment item (count=1) in order to try to ...

Coming back to this request, I have another use-case for being able to access deconstruction and upgrade planners from game/player library.

The mod ConstructionPlannerContinued (which I maintain) allows players to plan-out parts of the base using blueprints without any entity being built by ...

Hello,

The Advanced Artillery Remotes Continued mod (of which I am the maintainer) provides players with additional artillery remote that can be used to carpet-bomb a wide area of biter nests via single click.

The mod tries to somewhat optimise the number of fired artillery shells by calculating ...

Yikes, I am kinda glad the fix was made, but I kinda was depending on being able to do that in the Construction Planner (Continued) mod in order to try to handle undo history

Game crashes when player attempts to undo tile deconstruction orders which has been created for a non-player force, but assigned to the player using a deconstruction planner (via script).

Reproduction steps:

Set-up and load a minimal mod with the following control.lua script:

Apologies for possibly hijacking this thread, but I ran into somewhat similar issue, but this time around with the ghost underground belts. If you feel this would be better off discussed in separate thread, please do let me know.

Trying to invoke .neighbours on a pair of "connected" ghost ...

Instead of opening up a new request, I wanted to chime in on this one with another use case that would benefit from being able to work with blueprints from a library. If this would be better posted separately, please do let me know (but someone has already been kinda redirected to this topic on a ...

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but I was curious to know if anything has changed compared to the time this was reported (currently using 0.18.36).

I was trying to debug an error related to one of the mods I'm using, and ended-up looking into behaviour of the LuaPlayer::connected property.

I ...
