What After creating a custom map in 17.11, my mod behaves inconsistently. The mod when after 80% of a fluid area is used, starts to replace the tiles in the fluid area with land tiles, it saves all the tiles locations to a global table, which is unique. In a newly made custom map, the mod doesn't w...

I believe this is working as intended. Jogged my memory on this one and i found the bug report from way back when. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=49170 https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=50029 https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=50079 They did f...

What My mod uses a modified offshore pump to output crude oil. The entity has been deep copied from base, and had its fluid type changed to crude-oil. local offshorecrudeoil = table.deepcopy(data.raw["offshore-pump"]["offshore-pump"]) offshorecrudeoil.name = "offshore-crude...

Hello, Please could you allow the fluid = "water" flag to be nil or "None" on the Offshore-Pump entity type. If you set this to nil currently, Factorio complains that the flag is missing. Because of the new fluid mixing logic my modified pump, an "Offshore-Drain" now ba...

Hey hope I can get some help here. My mod has an entity based on an offshore pump, the inverse, an offshore drain. The entity is setup using the same details as the offshore pump, with 2 differences its fluid is called "Fluid", a dummy fluid to allow the entity to work and the output is in...

They've not cleared out the Resolved for 0.17 Bug Tracker yet, thats my tell!

Yeah this was a problem for me when writing my mod. I notiiced that even though the pipes showed 0.0 water, my mod was still trying to move water out the pipe/tank etc, eventually when I began printing out the amount value from the fluid box, found that the insane level of precision was the cause, n...

Looking good! That flow rate info, is that available to us modders? I can't see it in the preview on the Factorio API, unless im being blind. My mod has to guess when offshore pumps are active which I get from calculating the flowrate of water from the Flow Statistics. Having the flow rate available...

Look cool!

Obviously at the moment these are looking like back-end changes to the fluid mechanics.

Should we modders just keep an eye on the api for anything to with how entites are interacting with the new fluid system, I saw a few changes in the 0.17 api.

Using the map editor, I opened up the chest and added the Construction Robots in as items. They must be set on a 0 value, can't look at the moment as at work.

1. What Did I Do ? Used a construction robot 2. What Happened ? The game hung for 3 - 5 seconds then crashed. 3. What Did I expect to Happen ? Construction Robot to fly into roboport https://i.imgur.com/TUhAilF.gif?1 Not running any mods when this happened. Happens with/without the research for Robo...

Right easy one i think in the end.

Simply change autoplace to autoplace = nil!

Hello All! Wrong forum! Should be in modding help! I'll ask to get it moved. For my mod I've created a new type of water tile know as crude-oil! I can use the tile in my mod no problem at all. Its at new game start where my issues is. The crude-oil tiles are generated for the new game world, so that...

Any ideas if the above could be included in the changes for 0.17? The idea would really help in knowing if an Offshore Pump has fluid flowing through it, or if there was an entity.active on offshore pumps so that I would know if they are pumping or not. Heres the mod that would benifit from it : htt...

Loving the benchmarks!

Would love to see this as a part of the game. Think Factorio would make a great tool for benching CPUs, would be nice so we Factorioneers could compare our PCs

That'd explain it then!

Thanks for the info and help! Sorry if i seemed a bit short before, was a late night!

Hmmmm, but then why does Flow Control work? { "name": "Flow Control", "version": "3.0.3", "title": "Flow Control", "author": "GotLag", "homepage": "https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=2064...

I'd second this, as this would enable me to create my mod! Im trying to get the amount of Water that is being generated/flowing from an Offshore Pump. I've tried doing this already by assessing the fluidbox.amount value, which allows me to then get a tick counter going to calculate the amount of wat...

Hello Modders! I'm currently developing a mod, and have hit a point where I'm not to sure which direction to go, if there is one. My mod needs to know if the offshore pump is pumping water or not, so that I can calculate the amount of water pumped. I took a look with the debug interface and saw that...
