This bug is about the way the game selects which item is needed for building a specific entity (eg, when placing a ghost). I already discussed this with Rseding91 on #factorio and was told that the game used the first item in the prototype sort order (group, subgroup, order key). Unfortunately, this...

Here's a zip with the change

I have an item-with-inventory with filters set but when transferring it to the player inventory or placing it on the ground via script, the filters are cleared. Here are some test cases: /c p=game.player; s=p.cursor_stack; s.set_stack('item-with-inventory'); s.get_inventory(1).set_filter(1, 'pipe');...

Personally I would go with the change, unless there are other differences than just how tile ghosts are handled.
I don't think anyone should depend on this strange behavior since it's obviously a bug

LuaControl
opened :: LuaItemStack [read]

When using LuaItemStack::create_blueprint() with always_include_tiles = false , tile ghosts are always included in the resulting blueprint, even if the area contains other entities. This doesn't happen when creating a blueprint manually over the same area. Blueprint created via script: create_bluepr...

Any news on the localised combobox entries?

TL;DR Group controls by mod name in the Controls GUI much like settings are grouped in the Mod settings GUI What ? In the Controls GUI, Mods have their own tab but it can be difficult to tell which mod a control belongs to if there are many installed mods. Modders have to use more descriptive (and ...

In case you didn't know, you can cancel an item placement by doing player.clean_cursor() in on_put_item (before on_built_entity gets raised). Of course the player won't have the item in hand anymore after this. Similarly, you can change what is being placed by changing the player's cursor_stack in o...

I'd like the ability to set an ItemWithLabel's label to a LocalisedString

Use case: display an item name or just translated text next to the cursor (when draw_label_for_cursor_render is true)

Can we pin this thread please?

The service is currently not working due to an update to the Factorio Mod Portal. The main functionality may come back in the future (messages from your & other's mods discussion threads and mod update notifications) but I can't promise you anything for now. I just created this service to addre...

For curved rails:

LuaEntity::secondary_bounding_box
LuaEntityPrototype::secondary_collision_box

I'm also wondering why there is no secondary_selection_box in the curved rail's prototype since one can be seen with the debug view when "show-selection-rectangles" is checked

I need to get a list of all entities that would collide with a newly-created entity (in order to deconstruct them before placing a new one). I also need to filter the resulting list to exclude things such as ghost entities or entities marked for deconstruction,. Right now, I use find_entities_filter...

Did you research it?

Unfortunately, no.

See my request here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=45815

As far as I know, the only way to ask for construction robots to take items from, say a wooden chest is to order its deconstruction. Can we add a way to order construction robots to take items from an entity (like they do when its deconstructed) with the ability to specify which items to take and in...

Can you add fast_replace argument to LuaSurface::can_place_entity so that it returns true if the entity can be fast-replaced instead of returning false?

Apparently not. Try loading the save (you can also see it was created in 0.15.13)
