Oh, very tasteful.

It's pretty clear that the current player character is a man

I think that says more about your assumptions than it does about the genitals and identity of a fictional video game protagonist that's barely a hundred pixels tall.

And I have an abundance of tin. What can I do with that. In descending order of personal preference: 1. Don't make as much tin. I'm not even joking. 2. If the problem is washing and your lead requirements, use smart (i.e. circuit-controlled) acid-washing to balance your tin/lead ratio to what you n...

Equipment.ability_icon ActivateEquipmentCapsuleAction.equipment How are these used and what are their limitations? The only thing that uses ability_icon in vanilla is the discharge defence equipment, and it corresponds with the icon used by the DD remote capsule, which points back to the equipment ...

LuaGameScript.get_filtered_item_prototypes links to "#ItemPrototypeFilters" on the Concepts page, but the anchor is incorrect, it should go to ItemPrototypeFilter (singular). Edited to add, same seems to be true for most or all of the *PrototypeFilter links on that page. -> Thanks for let...

For anyone digging this up, you can work around this in a couple of ways: Untitled2.jpg For 1x1 storage tanks that are "tall", i.e. the sprite is taller than the selection box, then scale_info_icons = false produces a reasonable result. For pipe-like 1x1 tanks that aren't taller than the s...

Here we see a string of pipe entities with two kinds of 1x1 storage tank in the middle. The tanks have exactly the same selection box as the pipes. They have a different collision box but in both cases they're centred on the tile. But the alt-info icons for these small tanks are not drawn in the sam...

This got picked up when making a large vehicle for a mod, but I have been able to reproduce it in vanilla with both the car and (to a lesser extent) the tank. When vehicles are being driven by the player, depending on their speed and the zoom level of the camera, the vehicle will periodically go thr...

https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/SmokeSource - regarding "position" and "height" - what is "height", and how are position and height affected by the rotation of a vehicle when the smoke source is part of the vehicle's burner energy source?

Follow the link I gave and then scroll down a few posts to jamiechi1's answer. The table of items is given as key/value pairs where the key is the item name and the value is the number of items to be given, e.g.

1. Post your code. Don't make people guess what you've done. 2. See https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=531991#p531991 . 3. Making new sprites and animations from scratch is time-consuming even if you have any talent for it; with belts and units ("enemies"), you picked two of the m...

Would hiding but not removing the item group make a confliction with other mods? As i understood it if the recipe don't have anywhere to belong under certain item group it will be automatically under "the unsorted" item group,although i'm going to remove everything temporary to re-arrange...

Ammo turrets only launch ammo and capsules aren't ammo. There was a mod aside from Rampant once which created a corresponding ammo item for each capsule, including combat bot capsules, which fired an arc projectile that duplicated the effect of the corresponding capsules on ground hit. I looked into...

Yes, I am aware of it, I do not intend to publish it. Doing modifications to meet my personal preferences. Obviously that's completely fine. I'm highly unmotivated to start digging out archived versions of stuff I'm afraid. You may encounter some minor issues with incorporating the older assets. Yo...

And how to remove those item groups? You can replace any prototype with nil to "remove" it. There are a small-ish collection of essential prototypes that the core game requires to exist, I don't have a reference list handy, but I'm 99.9% sure that any of the item groups are not among them...

Hi First Question: I was trying to remove the automation technology from the vanilla, but doing so requires removing every subsequent technology. Is there a code that i can use to remove all of that in one command? No. You have to recursively search for prerequisites yourself. Second Question: I've...

Try dialling that down by like 20%, sunshine. Markdown barely even supports image formatting. I mean, it doesn't even have text alignment. You may as well complain that a bicycle without wheels doesn't have a jetpack installed. I'd guess the chances of them turning on anything that remotely resemble...

According to The Internet™ some markdown implementations allow injecting HTML tags directly, which is what I was referring to.

Can we have <a>, <img>, <ul> and <li> as well then?

There is no such thing as a "<video> tag" in Markdown. Markdown has poor support for media elements, by design. It was, and always will be, a plain text markup language. You could deviate from the informal standard for Markdown and add one, but equally you could spend that time implementin...

I guess we all have mileage that varies. I'd never run Bottleneck, especially since 90% of what it does could have been replaced with native game engine features made available in 1.0.
