Because LuaEntityPrototype , for any entity, does not have that key. Keys from prototypes in data stage do not always translate 1:1 to LuaEntityPrototype in control stage. Many aren't even available to read. Search that page for "energy source" (note no underscore) and you'll get hits on w...

TL;DR: Flamethrowers OP, and a nice mix of flamers and lasers is the way to go.(Imo)

I feel like part of this is because of how little fluid flamers use per second.

I agree with this suggestion, especially considering there are other concepts that already allow the int value.

A couple of suggestions (based on the partially shared code): Don't hard code the use of layer-40. Use the get_first_unused_layer() function in the \Factorio\data\core\lualib\collision-mask-util.lua file to return a layer and store it to a variable to then use where needed. Be careful about destruct...

True, sorry, I forget the basics sometimes when I'm not looking at it.

Yeah, make sure your fans don't look like this poor sucker from a laptop I worked on a while back that had overheating issues....

Copying and Pasting text that is impossible to read is quite cumbersome and prone to errors. Especially when the string is really big. It is easy to mis-select a string when copying or pasting. Forgive me, but if you're copying from in the game, then you need to copy the entire thing and (I'm prett...

Like the stupid flashing of the Research Complete message that never ever stops. Have you tried picking a new research when that starts flashing? It usually stops flashing for me after I pick a new research. It flashes until you open the tech window. I just quickly double tap T (my bound key for th...

Maybe the thermal paste needs to be redone?

Maybe they mean a save file sync? Might be trying to sync to a save for load, but the mods being sync'd they don't already have downloaded. But you can only select some mods to be downloaded? I'm just theorizing on what they meant by startup archive. Apologies, I should've edited the quote to make ...

What do you mean "startup archive"? Just don't tick all for download, and not all will be downloaded.

See if anything here helps?

There is a setting regarding flat inventory gui. See this thread:

Until the UI issues are addressed. I couldn't care less about any DLC. Usability right now is the most important to me.

Well, to my understanding, any UI updates (that don't fit or are too complex to put into 1.1.x) are most likely to be a part of the free 1.2 update separate from the DLC.

"the app for mobile must be cheap". That's not really what I was saying/referring to. My only concern is, indeed, the mod support. If it's a technical limitation that would indeed limit a lot (especially in cross-platform multiplayer). Indeed. As we've seen from the Switch, the limited me...

I don't remember where I learned it, and I don't know if this is the "correct" way or if it's inconsequential, but I had learned to name the migration files as "mod-name_version", where version matched the mod version it's introduced with. As such, as DaveMcW said, I believe it i...

What are we missing? That wube is not a non profit. :P And yet this is a direct quote from Kovarex [snip] What happened to that philosophy? And that Wube has a full team of people and other expenses besides. $1 mil a year only covers the salaries of maybe (probably less) 10 people. Then you have to...

the development cost of the Report button isn't very high, but the support cost of responding to reports made out of angst are definitely non-zero. Which is why I had suggested this: Honestly, I feel like the best solution would be a report button that would then flag for review to maybe the forum ...

I'm not necessarily against this suggestion, but currently I consider this a trade-off. Want verbously signaled rails? Need to leave some space. Want compact rails? Going to have to sacrifice some signaling.
