I think trains use orientation instead of direction

Yes, old sequence is being shown.

Meaning that the tooltip doesn't update? How much have you tested it? I assume a restart wouldn't change it, but does redrawing the GUI update it?

Factorio IRC is normally the best place to get undocumented information. I believe that's where we got the pastebin for custom inputs when they first came out.

Hm, I can't seem to duplicate what I was doing wrong earlier, so I guess it was on my end.

Sorry about that.

Equipment grids are already on characters through the armor. Yes, but then I have to do some really hacky things if I want to make it work for avatars (give them a power armor, force the player to not remove them, destroy it when the mine the avatar, but don't destroy the equipment in it, etc.). If...

Like it... although I haven't fully used it, because to my disappointment, Avatar Skin cannot(!) be made in an Avatar Assembling Machine. I think it at least should. Haven't found where the restriction comes from, but then, I'm still getting a feel for modding. Maybe it's because the AAM cannot tak...

When I try to access the .grid of an iron or steel armor, I get an error instead of just returning nil. This is an issue now that has_grid was removed.


Checking the prototype.equipment_grid returns nil, so I do have a workaround for the time being.

So, I'm curious if we can get equipment grids in stuff other than vehicles. My use case is for character entities. I would like to do special stuff for my avatars, but I can totally see other possibilities, too. Mods could use a player equipment grid as something like equipped items, like having a t...

No? This thread was asking if you could combine equipment effects (shooting and speed modifier), which the fff doesn't really say

Not at home to check, but it sounds like they just added restrictions to the equipment. Kinda like how crafting categories make it so that engines can only be crafted in assemblers.

You don't have to have a dependency for the base mod. You could in theory make your own

Did you delete the mods folder from your app data folder? I think the folder in programs (or steam) only has a shortcut to the app data mod folder

There is a modding interface request subforum btw. And IIRC this has been asked for before, but turned down.

I believe the game automatically triggers reset recipes and technologies, but only if the mod version number changed. Did you only change the recipe, but not increase the version number?

You'll need to go into the config file and change the port of one copy if you are testing on the same system

+1

Currently, I just hope no one kills the original character that gets left behind.

You would have to use remote calls, as each mod is in its own sandbox, so they don't see each other besides using remote calls. Bob's is different because the data stage of the game shares everything amongst the mods (I assume that also applies to his functions, though I've never looked too far into...

You don't need an item for entity and under no condition you are forced to have a recipe for an item. Remove "-placeabe" flags from entity definition. I removed all the flags, it's still complaining about the lack of item. I think it's your minable property, you are referencing an item in...

All prototype alterations require game reboot to take place. (Or fiddling with migrations, probably.) Yeah, and they causes slowdown in development speed. Either way, mods get developed slower. IIRC, there is a setting somewhere that saves a large amount of data to your drive, so that if you use a ...

The base game has its folder for creating prototypes, but anything not in there is accomplished in the core game in C++
