Re: drones problem?



Hello.
I've been playing for a long time and like mechanics mastered, but faced an interesting problem. Changed drones conveyors of the first level to the third, at first the drones did it promptly, but then began to slow down, fly into a personal drone station and wait for 30-40 sec. Tried to ...

Re: Recipes that consume a fraction of an item

It should be noted that turrets and labs are able to consume partial amounts of their input simply because the items are of a different type. So this proposal would require making all items like ammo (which have a set quantity) or bottles (percentage), which increases the memory required for each ...

Well, this was a really sad FFF.... :cry:


That's the first FFF about the new Factorio that I have just read and thought... hold on... so... you just did that? And this wasn't a build up to a series of trial and errors that eventually came out with something that worked similarly to the old system ...

Re: [1.1.107]The API function get_script_inventories() is not returning any value.



Try a for loop with pairs and see what you get out of that.
for k, v in pairs(invs) do
game.print("key, value: " .. k .. ", " .. v)
end
(Assuming I didn't typo anything.)

This wouldn't work. For each mod you'll get an array of inventories (where each inventory is an array of LuaItemStack ...

A mapping of mod name to array of inventories owned by that mod.

I think the 3rd method, "create nutrients", is the game's abstraction of just that.

Re: Opposite of Squeak Through

v0.0.5. Added logic to check the next_upgrade field and if one in the series is found to be in the exclusion list, then it excludes the whole series. I've also restructured the exemption tables in prep for some user configurable settings.

I have not added logic to check for the fluid box ...

I'll probably not update further for now unless someone finds something breaking, so please test away!


I've recently checked some issues of one of my mods with Nullius and didn't remove it before trying to load your mod. It seems Nullius will pose some problems:

If a function becomes outdated and they'd want to remove normally

my complaint isn't even remotely about that though


You complained about bug fixes going into 2.0 instead of 1.1 because there are mod breaking changes in 2.0 that mod authors will slowly, if ever, port over for. The devs have ...

Final update for the night, v0.0.4.

I decided to handle the issues mentioned above (and others that I found) through exclusion.

The exclusions consist of the following entity types :
spider-leg

locomotive
cargo-wagon
fluid-wagon
artillery-wagon

This really isn't Wube's problem. There's a difference between supporting mods and supporting -a- mod. You're asking them to support a mod, really, not modding in general. Individual mods are to be maintained by their maintainer, not Wube. There is no expectation for improvements to be ...

I didn't have as much time to work on this over this weekend as I had hoped, so I have a rough beta ready atm. I still need to add the settings-update to override minime, and I'm sure there's gonna be a number of bugs (I haven't had the time to test with other mods, yet).

As such, I'm not going to ...

I'm not sure how valuable my opinion on this matter is as I know I'm different.

I have a 4 year old MVA panel monitor . On HDMI, it only does 55 Hz, and 100 Hz with DP. I used to use the HDMI until the port loosened up, then I switched to the DP port. For me, even playing FPS games, I don't notice ...

This would have to be a separate mod that in turn overrides miniMAXIme's character collision box size setting.

Not quite: "This would have to be a separate mod" is sufficient. If your mod is active, this means the player doesn't want to have reduced collision_boxes, so I could change my ...
