Amazing! Thank you :D

Can you provide some insight on your usecase for such an interface?


Yes, I’ve been working recently with renderings, and want to make a mod that adds glowing colored trails wherever the spidertron walks. I can make it work pretty well at the moment using a generic rainbow cycle for the colors ...

It would be nice if spider-vehicle legs could have a unique identifier like .unit_number or .id

Thanks

It would be really nice if you could add a .legs (array of spider legs) to spider-vehicles, and even a .spider (LuaEntity of spider-vehicle controlling this leg) to the leg entities.

It could also be something like entity.linked_entities or entity.grouped_entities.

Thank you!

It would be quite nice to be able to have multiple tile-effects, so that water can still keep it's own effect, but other liquids added by mods (lava lakes, oil lakes, etc.) are able to have animations as well. It could also be used for adding a slight waving animation for grass tiles.

Currently ...

There's nothing wrong with that per se, you're right I could just keep track of how many waypoints there are and store that in a global like I'm doing for the waypoint target and other various data.

My specific use case is that since I already store lots of things in global, I want to nil them all ...

+1, bump. I would like to have a rainbow of character corpses scattered about

I would like to formally request that on_cutscene_cancelled() be called when a cutscene ends on its own, OR we get a separate event (e.g. on_cutscene_ended) for when a cutscene ends without being cancelled.

Thanks

The lua-api says that the on_cutscene_cancelled event is "Called when a cutscene finishes on its own or is cancelled by the player or by script" but it does not appear to be called when a cutscene finished on its own.

steps to reproduce:
1. listen to the event
script.on_event(defines.events.on ...

Currently if a player is in a cutscene, achievements can still be unlocked but players will not see the popup and the sound will not play. I request that newly unlocked achievement popups are shown to players who are in cutscenes.

Alternatively, an option to add "shown-while-in-cutscene" bool (or ...

How does this happen? What cutscenes are there, once the game is started?


vanilla doesn't have any except the crash-site cutscene in the beginning, but mods can add cutscenes like my "trainsaver" mod- it uses cutscenes targeting various trains to create a "screensaver". I'd like to add ...

+1, I would like this also. Just adding a "reset" button on the right side across from the mod name (setting header) would be great.

TL;DR
Allow achievement popups and sound to be shown/played while player is in a cutscene.


What ?
Currently if a player is in a cutscene, achievements can still be unlocked but players will not see the popup and the sound will not play. I suggest that newly unlocked achievement popups are ...

While viewing a cutscene, every now and again the tips and tricks gui will popup in the corner. Usually it's just there and doesn't open anything when you click on it. However if you are playing multiplayer and are not the host, clicking the gui does open the tips and tricks dialogue, and then ...

Yep, looks like the same thing to me. The first couple times my copy/paste had splitters (I was duplicating a 4-4 balancer), but it has also happened when copy/paste only had mining drills, power poles, and transport belts (trying to expand stone mining)

Well, it just happened again. Both times I had just copied something and quickly moved the mouse away from what I copied, planning on pasting it nearby.

(also, the log says I have macOS 10.16.0, but I have macOS Big Sur 11.0.1. Not sure what's going on there)

I was hosting a modded multiplayer map and factorio crashed. I have no ideas on how to replicate or what caused it.

Oh thanks. Good to know it's fixed Somehow my searching failed me

I have steam/mac version of factorio. Multiplayer lobby displays an error (picture below) and won't load multiplayer servers. I also am unable to update or download any mods from the in-game portal. https://i.ibb.co/TTkv35z/Screen-Shot-2020-11-24-at-22-03-44.png

In the factorio-current.log you can ...

+1, this would be a welcome addition to the multiplayer server list
