Any news on this? I could really use this right now to modify some blueprints on creation.

This would be very useful and remove the need for constant player.opened checking in on_tick which might get very expensive in large multiplayer games.

Also I would say one event is enough: Similar to the "on_selected_entity_changed" an "on_opened_entity_changed" event.

I would like to add that adding "placeable-off-grid" to a flying text is bugged. Zooming in and out changes the x and y coordinates of the text relative to it's origin even if the text is not supposed to move at all. This makes multiline text very hard to do since it might look perfectly f...

Since 0.15.18 i'm getting the following error message every time i want to start a game: Error while running the on_init: __even-distribution__/scripts/setup.lua:182: attempt to index field 'flags' (a nil value) Not sure what is causing this issue? if i disable this mod the game runs fine This was ...

Thanks! Display is by DaveMcW (viewtopic.php?f=193&t=19825&start=40#p150806)

Yeah that seems like a good addition :) Although I wanted to cleanup the code a bit first because it is an inefficient mess right now. The limits will be easier to implement with cleaner code so I'll do it afterwards. I'll add it to a roadmap on the above mod post including some other stuff I had pl...

Looking up the entity names and typing them in by hand feels so... anti-factorio. You don't have to do that. That's specifically the reason why I made vanilla autotrash available in early game (configurable startup setting). I just added the config trash list for the very early stages where you DON...

Hotfix version 0.2.3 Fixed that you could evenly distribute into player corpses Fixed issues with dead players trying to evenly distribute or use inventory cleanup Fixed that players in godmode couldn't evenly distribute Fixed several crashes with inventory cleanup Added proper error checking for c...

It worked! Thanks for the quick reply!

How can I find out if a player is dead? I tried player.character == nil but this fails when the player is not connected or in god controller mode.

New version 0.2.2 Added inventory cleanup hotkey: Evenly distribute excess trash items into nearby machines Added distribution text colors: Red = You have insufficient items; Yellow = Target inventory is full Added fancy distribution fade out animation Added option to prevent machines from starting...

Awesome, thanks

In my current mod I need to detect what recipe a furnace currently has/had. Unfortunately furnaces lose their recipe when they finish their craft and no ingredients are left. What I want is a property which holds the last known recipe of a furnace. Something like: LuaEntity.last_known_recipe [R] (us...

Which is still less than in many other games.

For use with gun turrets:
LuaEntityPrototype.attack_parameters
Or if not possible: LuaEntityPrototype.ammo_category

LuaBurner.fuel_category

This is an experimental proof-of-concept, expect bugs. These are almost impossible to fix so I am not going to update this mod. Some ingame co...

You do already have the means to simlate this behaviour. The darkness of a surface can be read with LuaSurface->darkness . When this value reaches a specified limit (check in on_tick) do two things: 1) Loop through every spawner on the surface and set it to active = false 2) And either one of these:...

being able to enable an inventory or equipment grid for any unit type entity That would be awesome but it sadly doesn't really make much sense. Why would a biter need an equipment grid? You can add equipment grids to cars, tanks and locomotives already, maybe you can utilise this somehow? On the ot...

Was, it was changed in 0.13.0 to be defined in the utility_sprites section. The reason being: performance. Can you change it so that every force has it's own customizable color for construction/logistic overlays? Because forces have completely seperate logistic networks the player is never going to...

I want to be able to change the color of logistic and construction radius visualization of roboports however not globally using the utility-sprites but rather in one of these ways: Option A: Each force has individual modifiable color definitions for the radius visualizations (since forces always hav...
