Half your posts seem to have been written when pissed.

These guys recommend a table of bools indexed by whatever you want in your set: https://www.lua.org/pil/11.5.html

They events specifically are not raised by default because otherwise every single mod out there would have to care about other mods messing with their state when they perform what is supposed to be a non-intrusive operation. I guess my question is what you mean by “non-intrusive”? The entities on t...

Would it make more sense for LuaSurface::create_entity() and LuaEntity::destroy() to raise events by default? Right now they default to running silently, and I've noticed a lot of mods create or destroy things without raising events. This makes it hard to keep track of which entities exist without r...

I recently encountered a problem where other mods are not correctly passing an entity when raising the script_raised_built event. I can program defensively, but the current situation means every mod developer needs to program defensively just to avoid errors. It would be super cool if Factorio consi...

This is what it looks like in 0.17.14:



Oddly enough, in 0.17.22 both sprites are missing the zero alpha section.

Thanks for reconsidering!

Changed the custom scale slider in interface settings to be disabled when automatic scale is selected.

Thanks for the update! I haven't seen this in the release notes (for .15 or since then) so I just wanted to check if it slipped through the cracks: In 0.17.15 cropping will check all channels are zero not just alpha. From my own testing it seems to work as before (transparent pixels get cropped even...

It sounds like the general problem is units shooting at things which are immune to their attacks. In this case it lasts forever and so it’s obviously silly, but even if you’re vulnerable to an enemy it doesn’t make sense to attack it for zero damage. So if it’s possible to not attack enemies which a...

In 0.17.15 cropping will check all channels are zero not just alpha.

I didn't see any mention of this in the release notes, and in my tests I'm still seeing pixels with non-zero colour being cropped. Did the change perhaps get missed?

Just to answer your question of when does "on_entity_cloned" happen.

Thanks for the info!

Worst is though the inconsistency with treadmills and inserter, of the treadmill going on for a few pixel. Will there be an option if this goes live to have the old look? This sort of problem is best handled with mods. Adding options in the game means the developers have to deal with the resulting ...

Ah of course, thank you! I forget that Mac OS creates a root folder when unzipping, even if it wasn't present in the zip.

I keep getting an error about not having the right directory structure, but it's as straightforward as could be. I created the zip with git archive --format zip But I get this error from the form: Error: Your mod ZIP has the wrong structure. Mod files including info.json must be in a directory. (cod...

Thanks for the confirmation. Hooking into these calls does seem to be working.

Fantastic, thanks!

I'd like to have a list of all science labs at all times. Obviously doing this with find_entities_filtered every frame is a colossal waste. Does the API provide all the events I need to maintain my list? I'm not 100% sure which events I should be looking at: on_built_entity on_entity_cloned -- When ...

That was it, thank you! Moving the global references into callbacks fixed the issue, and now my table appears to persist.

Hey, I'm having trouble keeping track of animations I've created across loads. My code looks like this: if global.labAnimations == nil then global.labAnimations = {} end local labAnimations = global.labAnimations -- table is filled out like this when iterating through all labs: if labAnimations[lab....
