If you read about https://mods.factorio.com/mod/sparkletrons-terraformers-final you see why these other mods are needed. Apparently they can be used to improve performance of other mods! :) :idea: Do we prefer a handful of these mods and people depending on the ones already existing, or do we really...

I don't think target priorities is a good idea. This makes the game more unrealistic, like turrets have some kind of neural network with camera system built in to distinguish one biter from the other instead of a simple motion tracker. This is technology we have today, how is that unrealistic!?!? T...

Canon turret - 30 range, low accuracy I'm going to assume that you meant low precision but perfect accuracy. :ugeek: A low precision turret seems like a neat concept though, it will not suffer much at all versus groups of enemies, but it is unreliable (if it is alone) and inefficient against single...

Also, my 0~drain laser turrets activated by a laser turret , ... means my solution might even have a much lower performance impact than the ability to shut off individual towers by signals. You advertice your old topic often, indeed. Because it is often needed. I come across the topic often, but it...

I don't see how it could possibly be a UPS hitter, it's just a binary which the turret is necessarily always aware of. I mean, turrets already send an "is active" notification to your hud, so why not get that info where it can actually be useful? Well before 2.0 small individual networks ...

A central problem in talking about circuit networks is, that there is no compact way to show someone a complex network. You just can take pictures and explain combinator by combinator, what they are doing and why it is useful to do it this way. For smaller networks, it is no problem to handle this,...

I feed ammo to a gun turret from a crate and I read crate contents. If crate is not full, a power switch will trigger and lasers will activate. Yes, but since we're getting circuit network connection for turrets anyway it would be nice to be able to get this information directly instead of having t...

That sounds very unlikely to happen. Why don't you ask for Space Age asset files to be a separate mod that Space Age depends on, like SE mod has the SE graphical asset mods? Then you could depend on that mod and not introduce a very confusing "disabled dependency". Or ask for Rocket Turret...

Oh come ooooon! Give us a manual artillery control via circuit network! X, Y and FIRE! That is already possible with mods. It is just not possible to order a specfic turret to shoot a specific target, but getting the next best artillery to shoot at position X, Y via circuit signal is possible. Sadl...

This is really not a suggestion for the API. Rather I would like to know if someone has solved it or works around this peculiarity. The way people do it already works, and it is thus a solved "problem" already. There's not really any peculiarity, just your assumptions that were not on poi...

And because this table with functions cannot be stored once and for all inside "global", it must be created from code on every load, that in turn makes heavy use of upvalues, "Tokens" to generate consistent indexes on load. Sounds like you don't even have an issue, you just look...

... If OP wants to pirate the game that is up to him, no one really cares, neither me nor Wube I think. But it is against the terms so it's a bit weird to publically instruct on how to pirate the game on the official forums. The DRM-less game client and the extra keys (for the singular license) and...

I'm just sometimes amazed at some of the problems when they are well known programming issues with established solutions. It triggers the "I've learned about how not do this and that sounds exactly how this was done" syndrom. Well, do you think Rseding91 doesn't know or considered and rej...

I was thinking something like "flag marked for deconstruction items as stored within the logistic network, as if they were in a virtual container with just the item". Like that, a bot assigned a construction job could be sent to that particular "marked for deconstruction" item i...

If when placing a blueprint, instead of just provider and buffer chests being queried for available items, bots in the air on their way to dump their inventory were also queried within a smaller distance than the found item. And with some max radius to speed up the bot search as well. And bots that ...

sure - but its not always possible Doesn't matter, do it anyways. If it isn't possible, make it possible. Just manually turn off stops if you need to temporarily divert all your resources to some specific goal if you can't supply all at once and the wrong stop end up soaking up all the resources. W...

I agree with Tertius, and would like to add some: Why? Is this supposed to be a solution to a problem? Because what kind of train has only a single wagon (and no room to expand solution) and high throughput requirements and also carries multiple items in arbitrary configurations? I can't find a use ...

Artillery requires expanding your rail network It really doesn't. You can build static artillery and feed them by any logistic method. There's also mods that lets you put combat robots in your artillery shells. Combo that with an early artillery mod and an artillery reskin and you should have what ...

Do we have timers in the logic system? In case you need to dispense some material in portions. I also remember a long time ago I tried to implement a portioned release of energy from batteries via an on/off toggle switch. Without a timer it didn't work out that way. Just make one, wiki has tutorial...
