Re: [16.22] Pollution miscalculation

It looks like energy consumption is being applied to pollution; efficiency modules are giving a 50% reduction in pollution AND energy as well. So with production, you get +10% pollution and +80% pollution from the energy increase, stacking multiplicatively. 1.8 * 1.1 * 1.8 = 3.564 1.8 * 1.2 * 2.6 = ...

Re: "Error while running on_init: Error while running event Natural_Evolution_Buildings::on_research

That's what happens now and there's no way I can think of that would work around that issue except for mods to not do things like that in on_init. If changing things in on_init didn't fire events then mod(s) would break if they expected events to be fired. If on_init does fire events then mod(s) wo...

Re: [0.16.18] Combinator breaks stack inserter

I'm more inclined to say the problem is in the circuitry itself; because the inserter reads hand contents in pulse mode, it's increasing the count as it picks up, which makes it think it should be disabled for one tick at the moment it picks up U-238 in certain edge cases. Not a bug in Factorio.

Without testing it myself, I would guess it was just a typo for >= I'm deliberately breaking forward compatability for when Mooncat resumes updates, so eventually the fix version won't be downloadable from newer versions of factorio. This means that when either I'm lazy, or the devs put out lots of...

Re: [HanziQ][mod portal] Drag and drop uploading tries to download your file

This is browser-specific behavior; for example, Edge will display a no-drop icon instead of letting you drop and then trying to download the file.

[Mod Portal] Drag and drop to upload no longer working

I got really used to dragging and dropping and it caught me off guard that this no longer works.

Workaround being, of course, to click on the upload slot to get a file selection dialog.

Re: Mod not applied when other mods are added/removed?

Factorio sorts mods first by dependencies then by natural sort order accounting for case (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_sort_order). ... Using the mod order each mod is setup: When creating a new game, script.on_init() will be called on each mod that has a control.lua file. When loading a s...

Re: [16.16] Mod `global` serialization bug

Just to add on some extra information: It appears that something goes wrong somewhere in the games save/load, and this results in global.save1 turning into a table that contains the entity instead of being a plain reference to the entity, ie: Before save/load: global.save1 = { userdata } after save/...

Re: [0.16.16] mining prod research location in research tree

I believe that the research is sorted based on research cost. Mining productivity however is not sorted correctly. Artillery and laser research cost way more. 20180111211156_1.jpg I'm pretty sure it's sorted by which science packs are required - (M)ilitary Science comes before (P)roduction Science ...

Re: Get entity size

@chrisgbk That sounds quite useful indeed (and like a huge amount of work). There's been a few people over the years to attempt a proper sprite management tool (scale, shift, fluidbox, circuit connection point/graphic, inserter positions, rotation, etc) but as far as i know nobody ever came to a fi...

Re: Get entity size

@chrisgbk: I doubt the center would be of any use as the fluid box specifications are most likely offsets of the position (i.e. 0,0) and not the center of an entity. And that position can't be derived from the width/height and center/center values. The position 0,0 can be calculated with a translat...

Re: Get entity size

@chrisgbk: That's a nice and short way to do it. But i think technically there's no restriction for the box to be {left-top,right-bottom}, so you'd need to include some math.abs in case someone goes crazy and has {right-top,left-bottom} or something (this statement is wrong until proven right :P). ...

Re: Logo and progress bar misalignment on loading screen

The image has shadows, which aren't visible on the black background; it's actually centered as far as the image data goes. See Factorio\data\core\graphics\splash-screen-image.png.

The progress bar is a different story. But I imagine the position was chosen based on looks, not pixel alignment.

I need the entity size for automatically placing of pipe connections. If entity is 3x5, then it can be much easy to set right positions than with collision box like {{-1.25, -2.4}, {1.25, 2.4}} Assuming eradicator's post is correct: local tilewidth = math.floor(collision_box and (collision_box[2][1...

Re: Access neighbour bonus of nuclear reactor

Ok, I think I get what you mean. Although the default neighbour_bonus is 1, which results in +0% efficiency (I suppose that is the state when the reactor standing alone), so I think I would have to set it to 2 to get +100%. However this has no effect. I created a test reactor prototype and I set th...
