Is there a mod that provides lights that don't use power (for more convenient path lighting)? I've made you one. It's really just a quick and dirty hack, merely a modified copy of the vanilla entity/item/recipe that will be unlocked by the same tech as the vanilla lamp. It even has a localised name...

Is there a mod that provides lights that don't use power (for more convenient path lighting)?

I searched as best as I knew how but the search terms for this are kind of generic and I couldn't spot anything.

Wow they really moved a lot of the useful things to base; how cool is that. And omg the little Lua code executor thing is so cute!

It's in the base game (now, at least); enable editor mode (open the console and type "/editor"). Open the crafting menu and you should find a new category in which you'll find the electric energy interface. When placed it looks similar to an accumulator and can be configured (by opening o...

I haven't played this game in a while, since before it came out of beta. I seem to remember there being a mod that added a building that would consume as much electricity as possible from the grid; either that or maybe it was an adjustable accumulator where you could max out the storage capacity and...

If it happens again, can you create minidump in Process Explorer and upload it here? I'd be interested to see what exectly did it hang on. Yes. Sorry, haven't played or checked forums in a minute, work has been hectic, and also Animal Crossing, lol. However, I see your message here, and if I ever r...

If you can reproduce this in the latest version let us know, but this is not crashing in factorio nor is it the latest version.

Then put it in Pending, Not A Bug, or Won't Fix where it belongs... or just lock and delete it.

It certainly crashed in Factorio.

This is definitely not "Technical Help"... weird move.

To anybody confused about finding this here: This was posted to Bug Reports. I'm not really looking for any input or answers. So don't look too hard for a question mark.

I pressed the Quit button from the in game menu and the game just completely froze (except for the pointer). The quit button was frozen in the bright orange click state. I have never, ever seen Factorio hang before (I go back at least to 0.12.x). I don't really have any other information. The proces...

I asked rseding about it in chat a while back and he basically said they "didn't think it would encourage creative gameplay" and so wasn't worth working on. Obviously, I disagree.

One more use case possibly? If the selected save has a different map string than the current save. I didn't want to complicate the code too much. Version and playtime are in an easy to read header, so that made the implementation quite clean. So, I have another case I'd like to see cause an overwri...

In the top right corner of the properties window there's a button for circuit network and logistics network configuration: connect.png I would like each respective button to be highlighted or something to indicate if the item is in fact connected to a circuit network and/or logistics network. In par...

if we could apply a filter to remove the empty mining drills in the deconstruction planner, that would be useful too...

BTW, just by seeing how people dislike the flashing thing on unpowered entities, I'm not sure your suggestion would be unanimous.

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/No_Power_Icons takes care of that.

Easier to make a mod to remove them, than to add them if the functionality doesn't exist.

I'd like a flashing warning icon on mining drills whose status is "no mineable resources" just to make them easier to spot when doing cleanup rounds.

Not a notification, just an icon, like the no fuel and no power ones.

If I'm not wrong, red is what was the back of the train on its last move Hmm; all those trains effectively have the same route though (as far as turnarounds and travel direction go -- each of those trains will leave the pictured stations and arrive back at one of those stations in the reverse orien...

Double-ended trains seem to have a red light on one end and a blue light on the other. What determines which end is red vs. blue?

-- edit: In fact, substation has wire reach that is enough to connect to every entity in its supply area. Lamp however, does not have enough wire reach to be connected to substation. Max connection distance is taken as lower value from entities to be connected. Ah; this seems reasonable. Thanks for...

If an oil patch is depleted, and assuming that: - Powering it is not a problem, and - There are no biters in range of the pollution it generates, and - Oil demand is being satisfied overall Is there any other reason not to continue using depleted oil patches forever? My general setup is picking up o...

While cycles left is greater than 6000 (20% yield) and greater than 20% of the initially available cycles , each pumpjack cycle reduces the number of cycles left by one. What am I missing here and why is this patch (for example) holding at 342% instead of dropping to 9*20%=180%? I bolded what you a...
