Also removes the point of having pumps / water pipes unless had more complex "limited water" physics. Reminds me of how in Minecraft basically any time water is needed in vanilla, or mods, almost everyone will just make an infinite water source right next to where they need it.

It looks like they are in style.lua. I didn't try yet however if adding a new style there with the same naming convention works. If it doesn't, then letting that work I think is a reasonable solution. shortcut_bar_button_blue = ... shortcut_bar_button_red = ... shortcut_bar_button_green = { type = &...

I didn't even realize inserters could pull from burner drills, that is definitely not the normal use case. If the drill is outputting automatically, either onto a belt or into some inventory, this won't happen, as it never outputs its fuel stack. burner-drill.png Where in factorio do inserters actua...

You can fake it I think. Make a special recipe that uses science packs (for such early use, can just be 1xred), then when you see the output in the player inventory, remove that and add the appropriate amount to `LuaForce.research_progress`.

I used `reach_distance` and thinking maybe I should have used `build_distance`, but I think both are 10 tiles unmodded?

Was it a particular object or such you noticed it with?

I have some code and test stuff around for some of that, although not geared entirely towards survival (that is to say, not timer based currently). Not sure how much demand there is, things need a lot of testing, and I am not skilled at graphics. Providing the biters a way to counter things the play...

I polished my code a bit, I think its what people were suggesting. I added one extra restriction, it won't build if enemies are near, so no instant replacement of walls/turrets/etc. in a fight. Should work in multiplayer but didn't get time to test MP during lunch. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/play...

How do you know the people joining your server are using cracked copies?

You can already very nearly do this, you just need a little "bootstrap" blueprint to build from your personal roboport. Wagons can be filtered, set filters so each wagon holds the supplies you will want for building. At your main base, load up the wagons. Due to some issues with how insert...

SHIFT+number sets the top (active) quickbar, so you can do it that way although maybe not the first thing a player thinks of.

TL;DR Allow right click, or some other modifier to always set the quickbar slot, regardless of its current contents. What ? Currently, if the player has an item held in the cursor and clicks on an empty quickbar slot, the quickbar is set to the item. But if the player clicks on a quickbar slot that...

The only problem with OP's idea that I think needs to be addressed is: "what if the blueprint has more items or a higher count of items than the chest can hold?" Does the chest only request what it can hold? That is actually another reason a circuit output would be better. Circuits can ha...

It is also used for filtering inventory slots which came first.

While I get the idea, I think it's a pretty niche request and would't mean a lot of profit for most players... ... To me, the question "How do I request a specific amount of certain items easily" calls for some combinator magic and sonds like it could yield some fascinating, player found ...

Should be easy enough to mod if there is demand, I knocked up a limited version quickly based on something else I had without any extras. And it only requires a control.lua so I think you could even put it on a server without requiring it be modded. A version using a selection tool of some sorts wou...

Lua scripts can do more annoying things, like crash the game. At most maybe adopt the same rules that JavaScript has, and don't allow reading clipboard data from the OS clipboard. If some random webpage I click in a Google search can do it, letting a Factorio mod do it should be OK and is way more s...

Can you not define a button style that either has a "silence" sound or zero volume (never tried personally)?

I'm not against the idea but it would need a name and have to show up in the keybindings list. However, in the base game it wouldn't *do* anything so there isn't a name to give it and it doesn't make sense to have in the keybindings list. I just ran into this while thinking of nice ways to control ...

I think it should be optional, the burner phase is a nice start for new players as you need less things to make something actually work. Electricity means at a minimum, a pump, boiler, steam engine, pipes, power poles. For practical purposes underground pipes, belts, inserters, electric mining drill...

No miss-remembered that, research change was earlier (checked 0.14).

Regular rounds went from 2 to 5 more than making up the difference, but piercing rounds went from 5 damage to 8 so less than double there between 0.14 and 0.15 .
