It looks like you are using +1.7 and -1.7, and have exactly 1 tile too much. Try subtracting 0.5 from both sides, for +1.2 and -1.2.

The Factorio grid is 32 pixels in normal resolution, and 64 pixels in high resolution.

Yeah now it's good ,thanks for the help guys

https://i.ibb.co/nBqJ4nG/collision-box.png As you can see i've used your method and yeah it worked nicely for the fluid box and i used the shift to make it in line to that pipe ,but as you can see from the image now the entity has a bigger collision box than its actual size,and if i used the older ...

You should make the collision box symmetric. If you are concerned about graphics lining up, use the shift property . i can instead rescale the entity in the modeling program(Blender) and then make it have a symmetrical collisions without using the shift function no? but in order to do that i need t...

collision_box = {{-0.50, -0.48}, {0.50, 1.8}}, i've tried every number from {-0, -0.1},{0,0.1} to {0,-3},{0,3} and yeah none worked Your collision box is not symmetric, so of course symmetric positions won't work. Why is your collision box not symmetric? Because the entity itself is not symmetric, ...

https://i.ibb.co/yNdX6Z9/comparing-doting.png So here an actual comparing between the assembly machine -3,3(represented by the dots) and the entity im doing a fluid box for which as shown it's around 1.5 -1.5 based on the grid, however that seems not the case because that still an error and i've tr...

So here questions to determine those numbers for any modded entity that can be put into the game; what i understood 3x3 is the possible pipe positions to the entity that can be connected to, so in the assembly machine example the pipe can be connected from three sides(although it's 4 sides in the g...

Your fluid boxes are located oddly. There is a limited range of locations they can be with regard to the collision box of the entity they belong to. See https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=40659&p=240470#p240470 Quote from that topic type="input" means fluids can only...

Hi All A quick question about this error that i received: Invalid pipe connections specification for offset {-0.5390625000, -0.5078125000}. The offset must be outside of the entity bounding-box collision_box = {{-0.50, -0.48}, {0.50, 1.8}}, selection_box = {{-0.50, -0.48}, {0.50, 1.8}}, fluid_boxes ...

In the burner energy source, you just set the category:

Code: Select all

    energy_source =
    {
      type = "burner",
      fuel_category = "nuclear",
      effectivity = 1,
      fuel_inventory_size = 1,
      burnt_inventory_size = 1
    },

Thanks a lot

Hi all I was searching the forums for similar question and the closest one i found was this https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=89874 however that works only on items for vanilla ;adding a custom fuel-category is easy enough meanwhile specifying it to modded entity is not shown? i m...

The problem with just removing the heavy armor technology is that there might be other technologies that are dependent on it. In this case modular armor. The modular armor technology is also dependent on advanced electronics. So one way of dealing with this should be data.raw.technology["modul...

Any other answers to my second question or the others ones that had no answers yet?
i would like to know those things it would help me and other modders who may face those things in the future.

Thanks for all the help.

Hi All First Question: let's say that i want to make an entity the player puts it diagonally. Can i add a rotation to collision_box or selection_box? 1. This entity must be car, rail or cliff. Maybe also tree, I am not sure. Yeah usually used for entity that generates in the map like trees and rock...

The three existing modules are not run by scripts. Their effects are applied by the game engine. For a custom type the basic approach would be to create a new module with none of the standard bonuses, then in your mod you would check for the presence of the module and change the behavior of the ent...

There is no such thing as a custom type in Factorio--it makes modding much simpler in the long run. There are many creative ways to reuse, repurpose, and combine existing types and use scripts to do new things. For example, the Aircraft Realism mod uses type "car" with different collision...

Hi all I've been searching for references regarding adding a new type to the game;example: type = "mining-tool",but it seems there's no references for adding such thing or how to even do it.So if that's possible to do any reference or link of how to make a custom type that would be fantas...
