In fact inserters will transfer into the module inventory of a machine should the input slots become full by the time it starts to drop the module. The exact same logic runs when you call transfer(...) that runs when an inserter transfers items into a non-belt entity. If you don't want to transfer ...

Request: Either add an additional parameter in LuaControl.insert or make a new function to let us insert items into entity while ensuring the items won't go to the module inventory. Also the corresponding LuaControl.can_insert parameter or function. Currently, LuaControl.insert will insert modules ...

Ah, yes! That can explain it.

I tried but couldn't reproduce. :? But there is a slight difference: my mod names don't use underscore (_) but hyphen (-). Don't know if that matters. Don't know why even if so. Are you really sure MOD_NAME = "my_mod"? It seemed to be quite a problem for some users of my mods. I couldn't ...

Request: A simple way to replicate vanilla tooltips, including the yellow mod names. ItemTooltip.jpg Add an additional optional parameter "tooltip_path" in LuaGuiElement.add . An additional concept is also needed: TooltipPath. tooltip_path :: TooltipPath (optional): Path to the object whos...

I am no modder, so I'm not sure how overwhelmingly useful all these tips are, but I guess it's the kind of stuff that should be stickied, so that it doesn't disappear in the mysterious deapths of the forum, where there be biters lurking, and stuff. [Koub] Stickied. Thanks! I'm sure this will help a...

I think I missed one thing.... will we still need requester chest?

Edit: nvm, I figured that requester chests will still be useful for requester chest -> inserter -> assembling machine.

it is important still of you specify 'local' on the function.

I think I understand what you meant.
Added "CODE ACCESSIBILITY IN DATA VS CONTROL".

I think he meant this:
"effect_key" of "nothing" tech modifier accepts LocalisedStr

No problem.

Released v0.1.1. New option: keep perfect resistance hidden - keep the resistances hidden for the entities that are immune to all damage types. It is turned on by default. It is specifically done for the player illusions in Supportive Weapons . Showing 100% for all damage types is wasting screen spa...

This thread can be moved to Implemented mod requests . Thanks Rseding91 and Nexela. :D @Dev-iL As Rseding91 said, their names implied what they do. Though that might requires some knowledge in the game. "reach distance" = the max distance you can open, copy-paste, quick insert to/pickup fr...

Fixed the bug that player character could be duplicated by spamming the off button of god mode. had a good laugh sending a ghost of me into a biters nest with that one before i upgraded. felt like Quaid until i realized it ran off with my armor. :lol: Mooncat is Creative Mode compatible with 0.15.3...

Would you be willing to revive this mod? With the recent changes to hazard concrete it no longer makes proper diagonal patters. OK. I will make a new mod called Hazard Concrete Edges. But I will need some time to make the new set of images to match the updated hazard concrete in 0.15. Looking forwa...

Released v0.3.10. Now you can test heat pipe setups without a reactor! (Why? Why not!) - New: Added new entities: heat source, heat void, biters, spitters, and other units that can be spawned by spawners. - Improvements: Matter sources will no longer insert modules to the module inventory of the tar...

It has been some time since I've started modding for Factorio. There's something that happens quite often: wow, so I can / cannot do this? I wish someone had told me before! Many hours have been wasted and we should avoid this. So, I would like to list the things that are not documented, or well hid...

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...

For the long-pickup-research and long-loot-research technologies, now you only need to install Long Reach Research as they have been combined into it. But you will have to turn on "Enable long pickup technology" and "Enable long loot technology" in mod settings. It also includes ...
