Many thanks, I wondered if it was something like that. Is there any scope in the engine maybe for checking that a recipe tint (actually, any tint) of transparent black is being used and then not bothering to run the add-to-background maths and effectively skipping the animation layer completely (per...

I have been fiddling with a crafting machine prototype that I wanted to display only one of two different kinds of working animation depending on the recipe, with a tinted layer involved. I realised that as long as I only want two variants, I can use the four channels of crafting_machine_tint and ap...

To illustrate what I'm talking about here. Untitled.jpg Entity A is a furnace. It has energy source fluidboxes with a filter specified. The filter is set up correctly and is shown in alt-mode. No problem. Entities B and C are also furnaces. B is idle without a recipe set, C is working on a recipe de...

so basically question is about backward compatibility as of today vs the version without expensive mode, especially about prototypes. What I'm getting from the rare and guarded snippets revealed here and there, and this new development around normal/expensive recipes, is that for 1.2 (which is goin...

LuaSurface::create_entity - parameter "source". Context reads "Source entity. Used for beams and highlight-boxes" but this parameter is also valid for projectiles, is passed on to on_script_trigger_effect events for projectiles etc.

-> Noted for 1.1.79, thanks.

I have a mod which providers teleporters. Teleportation involves a cutscene sequence which pans from one teleporter to another. Scripted visual and sound effects are triggered at various waypoints along the cutscene, positioned at either the source or destination teleporters. As of fairly recently, ...

Support this, but a scale multiplier is also needed for labs - very large labs have very large science pack icons, and you don't even have the option of scale_info_icons. In general it would be nice if things like the entity_info_icon_shift, scale_info_icons etc. were consistently available across a...

The top row of 1x1 assembling machines in the pic below have a crafting fluid box . The alt-mode fluid box filter icon (set by the recipe) is drawn on top of the alt-mode recipe icon. The bottom row of 1x1 assembling machines have an energy source fluid box . The alt-mode fluid box filter icon (stea...

I'm referring in this report to crafting machine ingredient/result fluidboxes , not energy source fluidboxes which work correctly as far as I can tell. For reference see this thread which led to the creation of the filter property for fluidboxes. For assembling machines, any fluidbox filter is ignor...

It's far too late to remove it now. It should never have happened, obviously, but that ship has sailed.

I guess i have enough of those issues, i will just get rid of the enable/disable entirely for 1.2 (it will be replaced with internally forcing limit to 0). There will be no longer "skip schedule record" behavior.

Please reconsider.

Alternatively you can use a label but set single_line to false and set a maximal_width.

On all burner entity GUIs, if the fuel has an emissions multiplier, this is displayed in text below the progress bar, like so: Untitled.jpg If the burner energy source has a burnt results inventory set up, these appear to the right of the progress bar (minor issue: with different horizontal spacing ...

Thank you.

Entity type generator can be set up to burn fluid fuels ( burns_fluid = true ) and only burn whatever is required to reach maximum energy output ( scale_fluid_usage = true ) rather than basing energy output on temperature. Fluids with an emissions_multiplier , however, don't seem to affect the outgo...

You need to change the force-condition property of the projectiles. "not-same" works well for me if you want bullets to "miss" all entities owned by the same force as the shooter, but YMMV.

+1 for duration please.

I am just looking to see if anyone has seen mods that will simply remember where GUI Windows were last and keep them there when they are reopened. I found the defines.events.on_gui_opened and defines.events.on_gui_closed. However I do not know enough about Lua to quickly read and set the positional...

I wanted this so badly that I wrote a version of it myself. My use case was to "schedule" things for N ticks in the future where N was typically not long, i.e. typically 10 to 120 ticks in the future - but in theory a lot of of them could be scheduled at once. The way I got happy with it p...

In this map close up, you can see a copper ore patch (orange checkerboard) and some 3x3 tile simple-entity decoratives (light red): Untitled.jpg Is the drawing order for these two different kinds of entity hard-coded, or is it possible to tweak something to force the simple-entities to be drawn on t...
