hm... but according to its description, it sounds like it is just a function converting daytime to darkness, something like return surface.daytime * DaytimeToDarknessConstant; And complete code is just if not (surface.alwaysday) then return surface.daytime * DaytimeToDarknessConstant else return 1 ...

In addition to DaveMcW's answer:
Because you are working with control.lua, you should check http://lua-api.factorio.com/.
While item.subgroup is a string (name of the subgroup) in data phase, it is actually a LuaGroup in control.lua.
See LuaItemPrototype::subgroup

So you are talking about brightness, which should be a new property rather than changing the ones that are related to daytime. Moweather introduces cloudy day that makes the surface to be darker. It is done by changing daytime. For now, you can use the same trick too as this is the only thing that ...

[shitpost] Try inserting some speed modules to the computer? [/shitpost]

I hope it is not too late. "My mods" - a quick way to see all of the mods made by me Notifications for new messages - not just email notification, but also "!" signs on the "My mods" button and the mods. "My posts" - something like "View your posts" ...

Although I can understand the annoyance of starting in a dense forest, I have to voice my disagreement with no trees. While in vanilla you can get by with using very little wood (small electric poles being pretty much the only requirement for having wood, and only because metal poles require resear...

Started a game with Creative mode previously enabled, after the factorio update that forced events to be called differently, I started to have this error whenever I wanted the creative recipes to show on the crafting list: Error while running event creative-mode::on_gui_click (ID 1) __creative-mode...

Intended. While it may look odd, there is a logical (magical) explanation behind it: landfill = raise the seabed, filled with seagrasses, from below to surface.

"FFF is the only good thing we have" False. FFF is one of the best things we have. Why is the poor "Spider" moved so many times even though its logic was mostly completed? :( About map generation, I really hope you can fix the unplayable spawn issue (spawn on a tiny island). (Or...

Can't believe no one has done it yet... lol
Note: it does nothing if Factorio version is below 0.15.30.

It will be more helpful if you can provide us the whole lua file instead of just the snippet. The error message is a bit strange. If the code is really in control.lua, "script" shouldn't be nil. But the error says it is... Right now, I can only tell that you are doing wrong with the event ...

GUI from mods cannot be moved. So, yea, it is hopeless right now.
But let's hope for the API for draggable window when the devs are improving the GUI system for 0.16.

Does the process freeze with 0% single-core usage or 100% single-core usage? It would max the CPU to 100% of a single core and eat a ton of RAM :P I'll add an artificial limit to it. I also fixed the loot mechanic to not create chunks when looking for loot around the player (which is why it locked ...

Released v0.4.1. The workaround for adding a custom bonus on the Bonuses window didn't work.

I don't know. Couldn't even open task manager.

Bug: Setting LuaForce.character_loot_pickup_distance_bonus to a large number can possibly freeze the computer. It may be the same as LuaControl::character_loot_pickup_distance_bonus . Steps to reproduce: Note - the following may freeze your computer, such that you may need to do a hard reboot if you...

Released v0.4.3. A small patch. The player color button is now shown correctly when loading a save that had Color Picker older than v0.4.0. If the button is not shown and you have saved the game with Color Picker v0.4.0+, please turn off Mod settings > Map > Enable player color picker, apply, and th...

Released v0.4.2. Removed the blue default color preset. Added the colors of coal, stone, iron, copper and uranium as default presets. Added default names for the default color presets. Updated the tooltip format of the color preset buttons. Updated the style of the hex color textfield for invalid va...
