Re: [0.12.x][v1.0.0] Bubblegum Cleanup

Strange, I definitely remember testing this out with reports whenever drops were deleted, and they started coming in pretty quickly. Before I wrote this, I used to see spawners that were surrounded by small artifacts despite me never having gone near them.

[0.12.x][v1.0.0] Bubblegum Cleanup

Ever come across a spawner that was surrounded by heaps of small alien artifacts for no adequately explainable reason? (Actually it's because every xeno has a time-to-live and will inevitably die and be replaced.) Here's a small mod I wrote to stop aliens that die of old age dropping stuff and drown...

Re: A unified tick-based code handling mod

All right, so, I've been mulling over this for a little while, and forgive me if I don't get the presentation right by professional standards, but here's what I've got so far on this: Trigger (my working name) adds a remote interface that can be called like so: remote.call("cron", "ad...

Re: A unified tick-based code handling mod

I don't see much use as a replacement for sth. like function on_tick(event) if global.updateTick[event.tick] then for _, train in pairs(global.updateTick[event.tick]) do --do stuff here end global.updateTick[event.tick] = nil end end global.updateTick gets data added whenever a train arrives at a s...

A unified tick-based code handling mod

We were discussing this on IRC earlier today, when it was pointed out that one mod (instead of twenty) handling on_tick timers and triggering the relevant function for each mod's on_tick trigger through a remote interface might be more efficient. There might also be a market for some common function...

Re: Friday Facts #128 - Back down to earth

Where I part ways with Klonan is on making it another chest entity. I like the interoperabilty aspect of the proposal with any chest. That's kind of what links it with inserters, thematically, in my mind.

Re: Friday Facts #128 - Back down to earth

To be honest, I think people would be having the exact same reservations as if splitters were never in the game. You'd have to split using inserters! Its part of the fun of the game! Splitters just trivialise the logistic trouble of splitting a belt, which makes them overpowered, and they don't eve...

Re: Friday Facts #128 - Back down to earth

Speaking as the person who wrote Slipstream Chests, I wholeheartedly approve of the loader, of course. It'd be a relief to see a version of it that properly attaches to belts, and doesn't rely on a kludgy unique chest entity, but something compatible with every type of chest in the game. That makes ...

Ho are these functions accessed by other mods? Do we have to require() them into data.lua?

That would suffice for this particular problem, yes.

Re: Possible removal of on_load/on_save events.

So if this were implemented, any data that a mod needs to preserve would have to stay in the global table rather than being copied to local variables, I'm assuming.That's about the only thing I've ever used on_load/on_save for, personally.

Re: Bob mods for 0.12

It would be very helpful to have all the config variables for things like CheaperSteel and ore settings in one place, and I don't have to edit them every time I download a new version of one of your mods.

Re: Event request: on_crafting_completed

Heating the fluid in the output fluidbox, since the temperature can't be configured in the recipe. This seems like a more general-purpose solution than asking for that.

Re: Event request: on_crafting_completed

That actually explicitly does not, since the recipes I'm mucking around with are fluid recipes. Plus that only applies to the player himself and not assembling machines, doesn't it?

Event request: on_crafting_completed

I'm messing around with Klonan's Oil Steam Boiler mod, and there's a couple of ways to do what I want, but an on_crafting_completed event would be the simplest and have the most application outside of my specific problem.

Re: [MOD 0.12.x] Slipstream Chests - 2.0.0

The reason there are multiple Slipstream chests is to provide options for interacting with the logistic network. That can't be done with a single item.

Faster chests will be coming, and more convenient configuration methods. I just wanted to get a functional release out for 0.12 first.

Re: [MOD 0.12.x] Slipstream Chests - 2.0.0

I'm pleased to announce that version 2.0.0 is finally up. 2.0.1 won't be far off once someone finds the glaringly obvious bug I overlooked, whatever that may be.
