This works fine as long as the thing in the copy field is an item like iron plate, but as soon as I try anything else like data.raw["container"]["wooden-chest"] or data.raw["transport-belt"]["transport-belt"], I get the error: Failed to load mods: Error in as...

Other wonky things that I like to have: Signal IDer. For each new signal coming in, assign each a unique ID, including when signals appear in batches. Signal ID is just [each] != 0 => [each] 1 decid [each], [!=], 0, [each] 1 and then multiply [each] by the ID of each signal type, from constant comb...

If you decide to change gate's opening_speed to be 1/10th of the vanilla gate opening speed, then i am pretty sure it will be hit by trains all the time even without repathing. I think this happened to me with modded (super) fast trains and gates a little to close to their train stop that got destr...

Let's be honest. You're just hater (seeing this and other MD-related topic). Hater of what exactly? Bad ideas? If so I'll admit it, it's true. Not you. FuryoftheStars is hater on anything new, modern and industry standard . I'm the one (not only me though) bringing up the strong and convincing argu...

I love markdown. It's amazing for what it is meant for. It is not meant for forum posts though and I'm against having it as an option on the forums here as well. mods.factorio.com should also convert to BB code. Markdown doesn't have referencing quotes. If someone replies to me or I reply to someone...

I wholeheartedly agree with the substance of your arguments. If I'm right, then I'm right. But if you can see that I'm right then I can listen to what you have to say. However, I find your response marred by unnecessary hostility and toxicity, which is disheartening to read. I am inclined to believ...

data.lua is a lua file. It's executed as lua like any other lua code. The difference between data.lua and control.lua is what API's are available (and when it is executed).
Put as much logic in it as you want. Read the API docs to learn more (link at top of the website!)

WTF Btw, sorry the attached images are making the post long. And you can inline the images (there's a button for it) so that you can hide them inside the spoiler tag. Also do don't have to quote the entire discussion history, you can remove posts inside quotes if they aren't all relevant. And the q...

Look, the joke about developers giving us a selection menu to configure the names was already made on page 2. It is a funny joke because it is a hilariously silly idea, but it is best told at most once. I am serious with this suggestion. It makes sense, because player's opinion vary and there is no...

I hope the existence of the poll results and the popularity of names other than fantasy themes is enough to convince WUBE to give players an optional list of quality schemes to choose from. Especially double so since there isn't any consensus in the community on what to use. Look, the joke about de...

How about a tier name configuration section in the settings? A configurable list of 5 words shouldn't be too difficult to add. For multiplayer, the list from the server is used to avoid desyncs.

That is a very funny joke!
Though some might believe that you are serious.

gap that's larger than (basic quality) big electric poles This remark scares me a lot. If the gap is small enough to be crossed with better quality electric poles, then people will do exactly that. This is no longer about modules being """optional""" improvements to yo...

You can walk across them, but the only things you can build on the sinking sands are elevated rail supports and offshore pumps. Does it mean all rails will be on one level.... again? No? You can't load and unload from elevated rails. Obiously, stations need to be on the ground, but i'm talking abou...

Where? I've been reading the FFFs as they come out and seen no discussion of UPS performance. Presumably they have made improvements but no specifics.

Doesn't Space Age have ways to throw away items? Just have a priority splitter and if the belt gets backed up, the items go into the garbage. On Fulgora? With recycling removing up to 75% of material? That would work for non-basic products (steel, copper wires, etc). The last time I checked, you ca...

I suppose I could get used to the idea of having to build lightning rods or near alien ruins for protection, but I am not in love with the concept. You need power poles all around your factory already, it's not that different. Though these also work like night solar panels as well, so you basically...

Um, does this mean that UPS usage from distinct electric networks will be fixed? Because this sounds like it would destroy perfomance in 1.1. I am also interested in hearing if this issue will be resolved. It has been fixed in 2.0 Out of curiosity, was this mentioned by Wube anywhere? Yes
