^ That would be nice. It would allow the few image-based tips-and-tricks to be remade as simulations, which in turn allows them to be localised or otherwise modded.

I've noticed what appears to be a regression because as far as I'm aware it was working fine before the latest version. local machine = some_assembling_machine local inventory = machine.get_inventory(defines.inventory.assembling_machine_input) -- for this example the recipe takes 1 iron plate, and t...

The save files are kept minimal, made in Map Editor so character inventory is empty, and freshly made in 1.1.1

I like your guess though, nice find!

I'll add my confirmation to this as well with my own mod.

... you get a completely black screen when the mod is zipped.

I thought I got this but then I moved the menu aside to reveal an error: "level.dat not found"

Unzipping the mod "fixed" the issue.

I'm trying to debug this but I'm a little stuck. I'm making some custom menu sims, which is fine. But sometimes when I copy a save from my saves folder to the mod folder and add it to the list, the sim will run for a few ticks (about 15 or so) and then the game completely freezes. No error message, ...

Since the "internal" functions are rather essential to making good tips/tricks sims (ie. mouse cursor movement, camera position...) I feel like they should be documented somewhere.

Thanks for the pointer on scenario scripts. I'll take a look at that.

Simple test setup: offshore pump, couple of pipes, pump, storage tanks. Basically ensure the pump can get its full 1,200/s flow rate. Hover the pump and run /c game.print(game.player.selected.fluidbox.get_flow(1)) It returns 11.79517552368, which I assume is supposed to be flow-per-tick. It should b...

I'm messing around with modding the tips/tricks simulations, and I noticed that even though my blueprint includes modules, building that blueprint with: game.surfaces[1].create_entities_from_blueprint_string{ string = "0eJx9kNFqwzAMRf/lPtuQNHSjfuxvjFGcRHQCWzGRUxpC/n12Osae9iKwpHPvlTf0YaE0s2S4DTx...

I'm trying to customise the tips/tricks scenes to better fit my mod. It's slow going but I'm making progress. Before I dive too far into it though, is it possible to have my mod's control.lua run at all? The reason I ask is because I have entities being built that trigger additional things with even...

Type something in chat, then go mine some trees or something. The chat moves up to make room for the mining progress bar, then back down when you finish mining it. If you mine a bunch of entities one after the other, the chat ends up bouncing quite a bit. I feel like the chat should reserve some spa...

As part of a mod I'm making, the ability to tag the map is disabled (via the permissions system). However the shiny new "place tag" button still pops up all the UI for creating a tag, and then puts it in your cursor for placement... and then vanishes without any feedback when "placed&...

Seems fine to me.

I definitely feel like this is something that should be "opted in" to, if added. As it is, you should be able to add a relatively cheap control script for mined events, check if a burner exists, check if the burning fuel has a burnt_result, and add it to the event buffer if so. A similar i...

Glad this helped uncover a performance issue, but I still have my issue of wanting an item tooltip on my sprite-button (with number, so choose-elem-button is insufficient)

One thing that may help you is Ctrl+F6 - this will toggle the "style inspector" that lets you see what styles are applied to various GUI elements, including the names of built-in styles.

Not yet but I suggested it.

Is there a place where the __core__/lualib files are documented? math2d is fairly self-explanatory, but I couldn't find any information on how to use story. event_handler is extremely useful but I had to figure it out through trial and error. Documentation on these files would be extremely helpful s...

I have a "floor" entity in the mod I'm building. I can place its ghost in the same place as "building" entities with no issue, but I can't place another "floor" ghost there. It seems that so long as they don't collide then you can put multiple of them. `not-colliding-wi...

That's what opened_gui_type is for

Oh I think I remember seeing something about that once. Would it be possible to document that fixes TTL in the API docs somewhere?
