Pipes have random priority depending on build order.

You can decrease the priority of heavy oil cracking by adding more pipe segments before it.

The best design is [Refinery output] -> [Refinery input] -> [Heavy oil cracking] in a single pipeline.

Unlike data.lua, control.lua is sandboxed. You can't interact with the control.lua of other mods.

Bob also has a restrictive license, so you need his permission if you want to copy the entire control.lua and edit it.

There is no ingredients property on the technology prototype.

You need data.raw.technology["long-inserters-2"].unit.ingredients

DaveMcW

There is no accumulation, all rounding errors are discarded.

Sounds like you have a firewall blocking incoming IP traffic.

You want Factorio to handle the UDP protocol on port 34197. See the Lightsail firewall guide.

Joining through the browser works because your headless server connected to Factorio's servers first, so it counts as an outgoing connection.

You can play single images.

If you play them fast enough it looks like a video.

Try with an assembling machine. It supports direction only if the recipe involves fluids.

Furnaces work the same way, though I'm not sure you can ever give a stone furnace a fluid recipe.

DaveMcW

The next thing to try is pictures.y. Your selection is 6 pixels past the bottom of the image file.

The event does not exist.

You can catch most changes with on_gui_closed.

But constant combinators can also be updated by copy/pasting (on_entity_settings_pasted) or stamping a blueprint (no relevant event).

Code: Select all

for _, fluid in pairs(game.fluid_prototypes) do
  if not fluid.hidden then
    game.print(fluid.name)
  end
end

I tried

Code: Select all

data.raw['gui-style']['default'].research_progressbar.color = {r=1, g=1}

...but nothing seems to happen.

There is game.create_profiler(), which displays a duration in milliseconds. But you can't read the value.

Here is a simple clock: simple-clock.png This "simple" clock is still very complicated! Here are the processing steps it goes through each tick: 1. Delete all signals on the wire from the previous tick (instant). 2. Copy the arithmetic combinator output to the empty wire (instant). 3. Add ...

The "T<Z → T=1" combinator acts like a constant combinator until the limit is reached. So it adds to the count every single tick.

The two tick delay comes into play when the limit is reached. It stops at 611 instead of 609, because there is two ticks of latency.

Code: Select all

/c game.player.create_character()

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force = "player"

DaveMcW

You can use log() and serpent.block() to find the nil. This outputs to factorio-current.log

Code: Select all

log(serpent.block(data.raw.recipe["iron-plate"]))
log(serpent.block(data.raw.recipe["my-bar"]))

energy_required is an optional field which is allowed to be nil during the data stage. If it is still nil at the end, it gets set to the default value of 0.5. This means you need to check for nil before doing math on it. local energy = data.raw.recipe["iron-plate"].energy_required or 0.5 d...

Code: Select all

local consumed = player.remove_item{name="raw-fish", count=1}
if consumed == 1 then
  -- teleport code
else
  player.surface.create_entity{name="flying-text", position=player.position, render_player_index=player.index, color={r=1}, text="Out of fish"}
end

You have to write the table back to entity.alert_parameters.

Code: Select all

local parameters = event.entity.alert_parameters
parameters.alert_message = "+"
event.entity.alert_parameters = parameters
