Time to mine that data out of the wiki, thanks bilka

Hi, I'm trying to disable the electric mining drill recipe in the prototyping stage by: data.raw["recipe"]["electric-mining-drill"].enabled = false When entering a (new) game, even with only this line of code in a blanco mod, it will still show the recipe in the crafting menu. Gr...

Thats why there is a data-final-fixes.lua or data-updates.lua to take care of those things, so you can fix the other mods becose you changed the base game...

If they do that then they break any other mod that uses the original tech name.

Let me quote the last line of the Factorio Friday Fact #216:

I guess that says enough

Also consider that mods do have accumulator mk2. Maybe the "upgrade" parameter shouldn't be true/false but rather name the technology they upgrade. The GUI can then work backwards to number them 1, 2, 3, ... Yes there are mods that have accumulator mk2's, but they can change the prototype...

As quick fix:

you can keep track of the main inventory and the quickbar to see if items get removed...

If they get removed, check the trash slots for items and keep checking them till they are empty...

That way you know the items in the trash slot (and so you can calculate the weight)..

Hi, I'm currently working on a mod that alters the technology research. It became to my attention the way 'upgrades' work. As of now, an upgrade is just defined by the technology name: for example: { type = "technology", name = "laser-turret-damage-1", ... }, { type = "techn...

Why?

I'm curious? The only thing i could think of is adding more stuff to the trash slots, but you got auto trash slots for that?
Controling robots? Is that even possible? (never looked into that)

It caught my attention...

After some investigations i ended up with such variants of bases for abstract light sources: player(type for characters) — easy way to get 8-way rotatable light. Have tons of extra properties and logic around it. Does not have smooth orientation. explosion — non-rotatable at all. Lifetime is based ...

You can make the range smaller with a modifier value between 0 (=no range) and 1 (=current range).. not with values from -1 to 0..

The circuit logic is easy: make selection_box = {} so you can't select it in the first place The energy is another issue that i can't solve yet.. It has no buffer so i can't give it some energy.. Making a new force for it, place invisible pole, invisible simple accumulator and a lamp is like overkil...

Hi, Afther some mods, I keep trying to create light entities, but it never works out right. If I want to create a light source, it always needs a default entity, for example a lamp, a vehicle, etc... A simple entity with light source would be handy. The ability to force it on and off through the api...

I would like this option too

@Rseding, I was thinking about a table storing information about the ForceField emitter, this would allow to blueprint custom entities..

Yup, thats exactly what I would need Bilka was on it already

Hi, When creating a gui I get a lot of info from the event. But when saving data from the gui (on button pressed) I only get the button. The way to retrieve all the information without needing to save it all, is to read the information out of the gui. One of these things is reading data from a colum...

Hi, I know a gui rework is planned for 0.17... But I think the behaviour of the scroll bar doesn't work correctly... I've set my scroll bar to only scroll in horizontal direction when needed: local configTableSlider = configTable.add{ type = "scroll-pane", name = self.guiElementNames.confi...

*BUMP* :lol: Rseding, I want 'nothing' effect on my technology research, but is there anyway to get a custom icon on it, so it's not the default + sign or some alternative for the other types...
