https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaGameScript.html#set_game_state There is very limited information about this command in the docs, and I thought it might be useful to add some after creating Better Victory Screen . I would propose something like: game_finished: Triggers the "Game F...

Could be cool if the name was shown in the tooltip

Hello! Not sure about the running_speed_modifier. Might be if other mods might change it after you do. A trick you can use is to add an invisible sticker to the character. Similar to what slow-down capsules do, except to increase speed. The tricky part is managing it though. Is it automatically crea...

Can't wait to use this in bot-malls and train stations! I do have two questions though: What happens when you specify 3 parameterized ingredients, but the recipe only has two? My hope would be that the third is silently ignored. Can you please turn the tiny checkmark button into a big "Confirm&...

I was looking into this for Biter Power as well where I didn't want the Egg Extractors to be affected by mining productivity. I left it be though, because thematically it still works in my case, it just made scaling the "mining rate" harder. If possible I would still change it back to a fl...

I made a mod to implement some an example victory screen with more focus on automation and some interesting information. I think it came out quite nicely

A note that might fit the context better is:

Note: To catch all possible interactions with an equipment grid use on_equipment_inserted.

I understand and agree that it should be evident by the name that it doesn't support scripted events. And adding a note just for this little instance is a gray area at best if it's needed or not. If this won't be added that's completely fine. It depends on the goal of the docs, and how much clutter ...

Some modders might use on_player_placed_equipment as the catch-all event to keep track of equipment changes. However, this might be misleading because it does not handle cases where equipment is changed through script, which is not explicitly mentioned in the docs. Modders might also be more incline...

It's likely that Space Age's turret will be similar to Space Exploration where only astroids that will hit your ship (or get close) will be targetted. Turret zones would be useful though to not let all turrets fire at the same astroid, and ignore others. But the effect of this will be small I think,...

Ah yes, that does work. But unfortunately that of course changes all rail colours regardless of prototype.

Guess this is more of a Modding Request then to allow the rail prototype to specify the map colour

What The custom map colour for a rail (straight or curved) is ignored. Expected behaviour That the map colour of a rail will change if I set the map_colour in the prototype Reproduction steps Place this in data.lua local red = {1, 0, 0, 1} data.raw["straight-rail"]["straight-rail&quo...

As a programmer myself I'm curious what exactly you mean here. I understand the part that different platforms do floating point operations differently, and they might have different results. And because Factorio is deterministic it's very important that all calculations always result in exactly the...

If you play in a Linux machine (x86) and your friend is playing in a M1 Mac Os, without this fix in some cases could occur a multiplayer desync because of different fload calculations

I do understand the reason why they are added. I'm curious what they added.

This experimental version also contains cross-platform checks for x86 vs arm floating point conversions. x86 and arm do floating point conversions differently and if we don't handle it correctly on the C++ side it results in different values which results in multiplayer desyncs. As a programmer mys...

Also, https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/typ ... #max_range

This is the maximum range this projectile will travel after which it will expire.

Didn't even notice that. Epic!

Just some information that I figured out which cost me an few headscratches, which could be part of the documentation for https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/prototypes/ProjectilePrototype.html. I believe this could be part of the general description at the top. Projectiles have two modes, homing, o...

It's a known issue that when modifying a massive rail network causes big lag spikes. IIRC this is because every time you place or remove a single rail then the entire rail network is recalculated, which means every train needs to recalculate it's path. This takes a long time, thus causes lag spikes,...
