The game seems to expect a mod's zip file to have the same name as the mod's directory would have. This is annoying when mods have different versions available for download. For example, right now in my downloads folder I have "testingmode.zip" and "testingmode (1).zip" and "testingmode (2).zip ...

Does changing the render layer change which layer is used for collision masking? Also, what is the difference in render_layer and final_render_layer?

The loading of the game works if unzipping it

The problem is that I put the version number in the zip file name. If the zip file is named "pipe-dream.zip" then it will work.

Aha! This is the step that I was missing.

I would guess because pipes-to-ground are rotatable and normal pipes are not. Sure, but allowing a single pipe to be rotated wouldn't need to have any effect on how they behave when they have neighbors.
I don't think pipes-to-ground are what you actually want. It seems like you want normal pipes ...

It is likely that feedback on this mod will have impact on the types of pipes in the official/base game.

So the pickup position / insert position is now implemented for the 0.9.2. This will allow (among others) the 90 degree inserters. Further proposed changes can be done in the future but I am reluctant to do them now so close to the bugfix release (the further changes are not trivial). Thanks! I ...

I'll have a mod for them published tonight if I can come up with some artwork.

I suck at artwork. https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=2719

This mod adds more types of inserters to the game.

https://github.com/sparr/factorio-mod-insert-this

Features:

90 degree inserters, left and right variants. Otherwise function like normal inserters.
Long handled inserters to move items from 2 tiles away to 1 tile away and vice versa ...

I think that given the choice between two different pickup targets, an inserter should choose the one closer to its pickup location. It appears that they currently choose the one closer to the inserter itself.

I accidentally created an inserter that could pick up from its own insert location. This ...

I ask this because I want to use the artwork features of the pipe type, including different images for different connection directions, for a pipe-to-ground entity. I can't see any reason they are differentiated. It looks like they could be cleanly merged right now without breaking any functionality.

This mod adds more types of pipes to the game.

Features:

Half and fully buried pipes. Passable for the player and car and biters. Can be repeated indefinitely without coming above ground. Cannot turn. Fully buried can go below buildings and rocks ...

I can't attach a save because it's too large, but here's the crash:

Looking at recipe.lua this seems to apply to just logistic robots, not construction robots?

When connecting two different pipe-to-ground entities with different max_underground_distance limits, the limit of the current item is enforced, instead of using the max or min of the two items. This means that building the two items in a different order produces a different connection state.

How do you control which collision mask an entity goes to? I wouldn't put them in player since I don't want them to collide with player, but putting them in ghost *could* work.
