As part of my mod I've changed trains so that the connection distance is 4 instead of 3, making it so that two adjacent wagons are 8 tiles apart, not 7 tiles. However this means that the visualisations at train stops and rail signals are wrong, since they're still spaced 1 apart instead of 2 apart. ...

Unfortunately making it a straight-rail itself means the collision-box is hard-coded, and I need to ensure empty space around it. So I'd have to do checking and refunding in that case too. I think in actual usage, the player can build rails and then clear out the gap needed for my entity before plac...

I have an entity that, when placed, will also spawn in some straight-rails to connect it to the railway.

Is it possible to restrict the placement of an entity to the same 2x2 grid that rails and train stops use?

I just double-checked that, but unfortunately no.

If it has 100% resistance then yes it does indeed trigger a "damaged" event with 0 damage and the original damage listed.

However if the entity is outright set to "destructible = false" then it does not.

I made the car indestructible. For... reasons. However biters will try - unsuccessfully - to attack the player driving nearby them. They just attack repeatedly until the car slowly grinds through them. I'd like to make it so that if enemies attack the car, it is the player inside that takes damage i...

Ahh, thank you for pointing out the chunk thing. Of course in hindsight it's blindingly obvious. Since the modded entity I'm making has invisible "super-inserters" shuffling the items around, I can certainly put their bases on the tile that the box is located on. Thanks a lot! EDIT: Update...

If I have a box being loaded by one inserter, and pulled from by three inserters, most of the time it cycles through the three inserters, each one taking its turn at pulling an item from the box. However sometimes, for reasons I can't discern, one or two of the inserters won't pull any items, and th...

I have a GUI choose-elem-button, with filters: flow.add{ type = "choose-elem-button", name = "selected-item", elem_type = "recipe", elem_filters = { {filter="category", category="smelting"}, {mode="and", filter="enabled"} } } This...

You know when you search something on Google and find someone else with the same idea as you from years ago? This is one of those moments. Is this possible? I'd love to have this feature. Readily anticipated issue: you have to specify which side of the Power Switch to connect to. This could probably...
