Nice work guys.

You forgot to post this on the Steam store page btw.
Edit: posted just now

Sigh, learn to read. There are already multiple mods available that will mark stuff on the ground for deconstruction.

There are mods for that.

Already implemented in Dytech and Bobs for example. Either dropping corpses that can be crafted to supply small artifiact parts, or have them drop artifact parts directly. What i've seen in my experience with both mods...is that i never leave my base if the aliens bring their artifacts to me. Unless...

2x2 Follower robot dispensers which allows a vehicle to dipence follower robots, along with allowing vehicles to keep their own followers, the limit like player robot counts can be increased by research from 5 to well the limit needs testing. I made a mod that does a similar thing, but for the play...

Hi, i made the following mod: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=24545 It takes this concept a bit further, by fully automating the deployment of destroyer drones (capsules). I added power armor equipment for balancing reasons, but it could be used in the future to influence (autom...

For my mod im trying to access the current robot follower count on a player. I looked over the API, and there is a call for the max follower count, but i couldn't find one for the actual current follower count. Currently i use this call: player.force.get_entity_count("destroyer") It works ...

In case people still want to try this mod, the game event register calls have to be updated to script.
So in control.lua: replace "game.on_" with "script.on_".

No, im trying to get the inventory in the first place.

With
http://lua-api.factorio.com/0.12.30/Lua ... _inventory
or
http://lua-api.factorio.com/0.12.30/Lua ... _inventory

Right, but like i said, i tried to access this when in a vehicle, and nothing returned an inventory

Simple question, which inventory is described by defines.inventory.player_vehicle (7).
http://lua-api.factorio.com/0.12.30/def ... #inventory

I tried getting this inventory on a player, character or a vehicle, and all return the error "... doesn't have an inventory with index(7)".

Just a note; this information is available in the debug overlay (F4):

I found this plugin as well the other day, but I could not get debugging to work within factorio. Were you able to actually debug a mod with this plugin? - Monk I'm experimenting with this IntelliJ plugin, and would like to setup debugging. How are you debugging mods within Factorio from Visual Stu...

A better question is why. What are you trying to do? Check which mods have buttons on the top? The API is perfectly clear; "For other elements, like buttons or labels, this is the content." You're getting the content of the button. What that is depends on the mod that created the button, a...

Official API documentation (the HTML documents you get with the game) is also uploaded here: http://lua-api.factorio.com/

The function "data:extend" requires a table of prototypes (1..n). So something like this: data:extend ( { {proto1}, {proto2} } ) Or just 1 prototype: data:extend ( { {proto1} } ) What you have right now: data:extend( { { {proto}, } } ) You need to clean up your code structure. Using someth...

You need one more set of curly brackets in your data.extend call. The function expects a table of prototypes. And there is no "medium-scorchmark" so it seems. You could extend your own perhaps :)? Example in ~\prototypes\entity\demo-remnants.lua This loads for me: projectile.lua data:exten...

Aha, that seems to work. If you create a capsule it spawns the 5 bots, but not as followers. This way the single destroyer becomes a real followers...thanks! This is what i had created myself, but like i said...it spawns 5 non follower destroyers??? /c player = game.local_player; surface = game.surf...

Is it possible to deploy a destroyer capsule as actual follow robots with the API? You can do a surface.create_entity on a "destroyer-capsule", but that just leaves them hanging in the air. You can also make a group with surface.create_unit_group, but then you're just implementing your own...
