Method A: I don't think it's possible to not place an item instantly. We could however re-purpose 'mining' the turret to build it: 1: Have the user place a 'dummy' turret entity (does nothing, just same size) where they want the turret to be. 2: Have the user mine (remove) it. This should trigger a...

I've greatly improved performance. I've reduced CPU usage by 60-70%.
I've also fixed the issue with dytech gems.

I'd love to hear any new errors you guys have

Updated to 0.1.0

Since you are using find entities fileterd it will remove some light - no guarantees that it's the proper one. I think you'd need to keep a table of pole-light mapping and store entities in it to make sure pairs are always correct. I'm not 100% sure if game will allow table to be created that has e...

I've cut out some of the redundant coding, and I can get my entities max HP to read from my variable file, but I can't seem to get my control file to write to variable file to change the max HP. Or is the game unable to change max hp after the entity file has been loaded? You cannot alter entity pr...

I'm looking to find all ores within a certain radius, but I need to do it quickly, as it's done quite often. The code I'm currently using to find ores in a specific radius around a specific position is this: local results = game.findentitiesfiltered{type = "resource", area = GetBoundingBox...

Error when trying to mine crystal ore from Dytech Could you tell me what the error said and what line it indicated? Thanks! I'm currently Ill so I'll take a look at it when I'm better. I'm also planning an optimisation pass since the current performance is horrid. EDIT: I think I've found the error...

You need to add: To the top of the file.

Entity prototypes are quite rigid, certain types of prototypes accept only certain parameters. Only the light, player, car and train entities can emit light continuously. I'm afraid you'll have to spawn a separate light entity at each pole. This can be easily done using control.lua: -- Make sure our...

This might work: game.onevent(defines.events.onsectorscanned, function(event) if event.radar.name == "templev2" then -- Loop though the temples. for i, temple in pairs(glob.temples) do -- Is the event's radar this temple? if temple.equals(event.radar) then -- It's the i-th temple, so multi...

So I just died due to a train hitting me, and this is my latest autosave :

I am currently making a mod that changes the sprites. Problem is that it's using the vanilla sprites and i don't think there is a way to split up sprites. If there is then please tell :) I do not understand, how do you make higher quality sprites from the original sprites? You can use any image edi...

You can split spritesheets into separate images. This means that since there's currently 4x8 frames and 4 sheets, you could double the resolution and make the sheets 3x4 with 11 sheets.
Now 11 sheets isn't very practical, but at least it's possible.

in this version starts to produce the machine, the game starts to hang, but it works brakes

I do not understand, could you rephrase that?

For my mod, Alien Walls, it's currently set up that research will increase health regeneration rate, but I would like for the research to increase max health as well Then the only way is to replace all the wall sections/gates. You could do something like this: wallNames = {"hybrid-wall-level1&...

Updated to 0.0.8

It should be fixed now. Let me know if the issue persists.

There is a global counter game.tick, divide by 60 and voila, you have the current game time.

Changing an entity's max health can only be done in files executed through data.lua, data-updates.lua or data-final-fixes.lua.
The only other way is replacing every entity on the map with a different version which has higher max health.

I've made a mod that does what you suggest, check it out.

As requested in this thread Science pack prerequisites This mod fixed the prerequisites in the science tree. Any research that needs science pack 3 is guaranteed to have battery and advanced-electronics as its prerequisite. Any research that needs the alien science pack is guaranteed to have alien-...

Thanks for the help guys, the errors should be fixed. I'm relying on you to test it here as I won't be at my home computer for a while.
