Edit : I found this one : https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaTrain.html#LuaTrain.riding_state it's even better. Oh, it works very well! so I can now know if automatic triain tries to accelerate with (train.state == defines.train_state.on_the_path) and I can know if player train tries to accelera...

I mean, there is "unreliable" method to check if train was moving and if it is moving now. But the problem is with for example 40 wagons this method won't work. It will think train is not trying to accelerate, because game will change train speed from 0 to 0. How do I reliably know if trai...

max_energy usage will work exactly same as my [code]local LuaEntity = surface.get_trains()[...x...].locomotives["..."][1]; LuaEntity.max_energy_usage [/code]. I already tried it, and it didn't worked really. It returned 10'000 for every locomotive type. Doesn't matter what it's power was,...

I cannot get this anywhere. Lua entity, lua entity prototype, burner, burner prototype, nothing gives me ability to get information about what's vehicle acceleration power. I'm already looking for it for 4 hours, is it even possible? I'm losing my mind on how hard is to find such information, so I d...

For machine hosting I cannot advice you in few words, as it's quite complicated, but you could find some simple to use ready factorio servers (I don't know if it exist, but maybe it does) and if that doens't exist you can buy(or find free?) some remote virtual machine and use SSH client to access co...

I think what I will do is I will leave first player in 'player' force and start creating forces only from second player. It should have no downsides, and I should've anyway preserve "forces" as there are only 64 available, but still I think it might be considered bug / unwanted behavior.

Here is whole script : https://pastebin.com/22Uj4xYz * I wrote set_gloal / not set_global, but thakns to copy-pasting everything I can, this doesn't affect anything, function reference is same everywhere.. Output during game start is 1 player 2 rafiz force 3 rafiz force 4 rafiz force , when I added ...

In short - upon creating new multiplayer game (non-headless) this script : function on_player_created(event) local player = game.players[event.player_index] local newForce = createPlayerForce(player) game.print('1' .. player.force.name) game.print('2' .. newForce.name) player.force = newForce game.p...

Ok - I did my own lua to fix it.

I might even turn it into mod that will scale down enemies on far palces..

I have problem : my idea for scenario allows players to choose their spawn location, whole map is rather big and if you choose spawn far from center of map it is extremally hard to stay alive. What would be best solution to "flatify" map spawning ratios - so that instead of "than furt...

I have problem with 2 mods (both aren't mine) : one is "xander-mod" and other is "Transport_Drones_Fuel" (TDF, later, coz it's too many words) Problem lays in that TDF simplifies requirements to create transport drones (from "Transport Drones" mod) and xander-mod is cha...
