Thanks!

In a mod, how can I see how many input and output items a crafting machine is holding?

The info is available in the tool-tip, but I can't figure out how to access it programmatically.


Thanks.

Agreed - please consider reverting this change (or perhaps as an option)?
Any confusion can be resolved with a simple google bob greenhouse setup to get cookie cutter examples of how to set it up.

Hi All. I know to easily create a button with a plain text Tooltip... game.player.gui.center.add{type="button", caption="hello", tooltip="This is a tooltip."} Is there any easyish way to generate a tooltip with custom rich string formatting (Bold etc.) ? Or even better ...

Thanks both. I can easily add a layer to a static object... local newPic = { filename = BeastMod.mod_directory .. "/graphics/Xpurple.png", priority = "extra-high", width = 48, height = 34, shift = {0.1875, 0} } local newN = {} newN.layers = { data.raw["container"]["...

I still can't figure this out...

Laying a 2nd entity works but is kind of messy... anyone have a clue on how to overlay a static image on an animated entity?

My trains don't re-fuel any more - inserter doesn't go even though train fuel is not full...

Affects 3 trains on two separate lines.

Thanks (again!) kikker.

I've been toying with the animation code from demo-mining-drill this morning, but have not figured out how to make the layer work properly yet... I was hoping there was a simple property for a static image I could layer.

I'll keep experimenting!

Marvellous thank you - 1, 4, 8 are fine for my quick & dirty testing... I'll find a more appropriate place in the tech tree once I play test.

Hi, I'm modding some upgraded electric-mining-drills for 0.15, and I thought an easy way to gate them initially is with specific levels of infinite technology "mining productivity", but the following code claims "mining-productivity-3 not found" when the mod is loaded at Factorio...

Ho modders, I want to create an upgraded electric drill in 0.15, and was hoping to overlay the default graphics/animation with a simple static png (EG: transparent background with X in corner)... http://i.imgur.com/Mlq0CuJ.png local newEntity newEntity = util.table.deepcopy(data.raw["mining-dri...

<<reads up on control.lua vs data*.lua>>

I understand now thanks Bob Will instead use custom events.

Ho are these functions accessed by other mods? Do we have to require() them into data.lua? They are available for other mods to use, yes. I recomend you make this mod a dependacy in info.json, and the functions will all be available without the need for a require. I can't figure this out :( Factori...

4am UK time... mod portal is GO!

I suppose Friday ~20:00 UK time is peak!
I can't load https://mods.factorio.com or the in-game "Install Mods" after dozens of attempts

Hi Rue, I had this issue but I didn't realise you need to place the inserter down first, then hover the mouse directly over the target cross-hair before pressing the hotkey... it's not enough to hover over the inserter, the mouse must be inside the square cross-hair thingy. inserter-open-GUI-02.png ...

Thanks Klonan...That would explain it :) I can't see any posts about this milestone though? The Steam News article about 0.14.18 even finishes with a message about how to get experimental versions. I suggest to have a message in-game after a major update like this... it wasn't nice opening my save g...

I was happily playing Steam v0.13.x yesterday, but when I launched Factorio just now it was 0.14.18 (build 25281, win64, steam). I double checked in Steam -> Library -> Factorio -> Properties -> Betas and the "Select the beta" option remains at "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs&quo...

I too am having this "Can't connect inserters to circuit network" issue - I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. Using the entire suite of the latest 5dim's that's on the Mod Portal (mods.factorio.com). I've had the issue since I started .13.x, which was .13.8, continuously up to this point (.13...

There seem to be some missing techs in all locales (but I'm new to mods so may be mistaken!)... EG: 5dim_energy_0.13.1\locale\en\locale.cfg [technology-name] ... electric-energy-accumulators-2 = Electric energy accumulators 2 electric-energy-accumulators-3 = Electric energy accumulators 3 5dim_logis...
