Another example is extracting pure-water with pumpjack, but only if it get some amount of coal.

I want to extract uranium not with sulfur-acid, but with barrelled-sulfur-acid, so the mining drill must accept not only fluids, but items too.

Hi!

It it possible to add new type of mining tool for hard ores? By uranium ore we are need sulfur acid as chemical mining tool.

Can we have also another mining tools, for example items? Some ores can be also hard enough and you are need to change the drills every 50 mining results.

Is it new type of factorissimo?

Some example for enriching chain: local ores = {"iron", "copper", "uranium"} local recipe_chain = {"ore", "dust", "enriched", "deoxidized", "particle", "smelted", "plate"} for i, ore_name in pairs (or...

Can you show some examples?

Thanks, but its strange that buffer does not contain items from inventory And https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Concepts.html#InfinityFilter https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaEntity.html#LuaEntity.set_infinity_filter https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaEntity.html#LuaEntity.infinity_filters

Another solution is make all oil patches visually very tiny, so it can't be seen without big zooming.

Did you try just replace output to input? entity.fluid_boxes = { { production_type = "output", pipe_picture = assembler2pipepictures(), pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(), base_area = 10, --base_level = 1, base_level = -1, pipe_connections = {{ type="input", position = {1, 2} }},...

First: Making new prototypes, it must be new assembling machine, but with size of offshore pump, fixed recipe and burner as energy_source. Not tested, but it looks like: data.lua: -- entity -- local pump = data.raw["offshore-pump"]["offshore-pump"] local entity = table.deepcopy (...

And as option only 3 wires, sounds pretty nice for new challenges.

Do you have ammo_category = "electric" by personal laser turrets?

Ah another question: i'm implementing ore's duplication, triplication...ex, so i need always to add the same recipe for every ore: is there a faster way to do it? Ex. One of the processing i've already implemented is this: Ore (ex iron, but it could be any other ore) ==> Crusher ==> Dust (of that s...

Basically a variant of "allow_as_intermediate", but which only deprioritizes the recipe for intermediate crafting, rather than making in not usable entirely. So a white-belt-to-yellow-belt recipe might be still able to be used to craft red belts, but only if there are no ingredients with ...

Also add fire to the coal fields.

I just wanted to print out all technologies into a file, but for some reason it doesnt show a single one: Console#Write_all_researched_technologies_to_file /c local list = {} for _, tech in pairs(game.player.force.technologies) do if tech.researched then list[#list+1] = tech.name end end game.write...

If you have enemies with very high laser damage resistance, then you need not only laser turrets. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BadBiters
