This is the same issue as constant combinators. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=102702

This is already in the game as the "Supply challenge" scenario.

Yes, the iterator can be stored.

The stored iterator contains the current chunks, even if they were generated after it was created. It might not catch some newly created chunks, if they are inserted before the current position.

When the iterator reaches the end of the list it stops iterating, even ...

Yes, the grid is always created empty.

It is hard to catch items when they are created because there is no event for it. You could watch the player's inventory though.

function set_spider_inventory(grid)
grid.put{name="battery-mk2-equipment", position={1,1}}
end

script.on_event(defines.events ...

Code: Select all

script.on_event(defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event)
  if event.created_entity.name == "spidertron" then
    event.created_entity.grid.put{name="battery-mk2-equipment", position={1,1}}
  end
end)

No, the 4 WireConnectionPoint's correspond to 4 directions. You only get 1 red and 1 green input connection, and 1 red and 1 green output connection.

You have to use multiple entities if you want more connections.

You can use a cheat to do it:

Code: Select all

/command game.player.insert{name="solar-panel", count=1}

DaveMcW

If you want to avoid all boilers, give yourself a single solar panel at the start to run your labs.

In HTML, <button> has type="submit" by default. This means an unmodified button will refresh the page.

To work around this, give the button type="button".

The button in the reply is unmodified because the blueprint script failed. Figuring out why it failed is trickier.

It uses ascending order.

/c
name = "biter-larva-2"
pattern = "^(%w+)%-larva%-(%d+)$"
species, i = name:match(pattern);
game.print(species);
game.print(i);

Pattern explanation:
^ start of string
$ end of string
%w+ one or more alphanumeric characters
%d+ one or more digits
%- dash is a special character, so you need to ...

Code: Select all

/c 
player = game.player
entity = game.player.selected
game.print( "Distance between " .. entity.name .. " and " .. player.name .. " is: " .. math.sqrt((entity.position.x - player.position.x)^2 + (entity.position.y - player.position.y)^2) )

The radius and limit filters cannot be inverted.

I would search the entire surface, then calculate the radius yourself using triangles: a² + b² = c².

Your host server is too good. Slow clients can never catch up to the server.

You can force the host to slow down with the command:

Code: Select all

/c game.speed = 0.7

You need to build 9 rocket silos to support 9 satellites per minute.

Why not build an extra satellite assembling machine?

1. Follow one of the tutorials you found.
2. Get stuck.
3. Post here explaining which tutorial you used, which step you are stuck on, and what the error message is.

Does it work if you use 7 belts? Adding 3 more on the other side.
