Ownlyme, I made a follow on request to try and give similar usability without the negatives Rseding listed. It hasn't had any view passed on its suitability so far. Not sure if it would cover your usage thoughts.

Do no commands work when a server is paused? If so then that would seem to be something that could be improved as well for the normal and multiplayer commands (separate discussion). I appreciate any commands that need to be kept in sync within the game state would not be possible while the game is p...

Add a /pause command that can be run via console and RCON to pause and un-pause a multiplayer server.

I couldn't reproduce the previously mentioned behaviour, however, I could reproduce the same effect via a simpler process on 0.17.41. The game automatically restarts after mod download so I can't grab the mods folder quickly enough. Although with this simpler process hopefully the issue will be clea...

When the on_rocket_launch_ordered and on_rocket_launched events trigger could any player who is riding the rocket be included as an attribute. The players are known within the game code to be passengers of the rocket. Ideally the rocket entity get_passenger() and player entity vehicle() functions wo...

What I suggest is that the mod portal shows the base mod dependency if it has a patch version specified. If it only has a major or minor version then it can remain hidden like present. When there is no patch version dependency specified the base mod version it isn't shown in the dependencies list as...

If you change the researched state of a technology via API the technology becomes enabled automatically. Either this is a bug or if intended behaviour please confirm and the API documents need updating as this isn't obvious behaviour. https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaTechnology.html#LuaTechnol...

at present damage that is reduced by armor or absorbed by equipment (shields) is not accounted for in the on_entity_damaged event. Looking to add an event on_entity_damage_absorbed that is triggered when a character or vehicle absorbs all damage by equipment (shields). So not duplicating the on_enti...

In the below specific usage case when you click the Back button on the Mods screen it says that there are mod changes to be discarded, but nothing was changed and nothing is discarded if you click the "Discard Changes" button. start with a clean (0) mod Factorio game client join an MP game...

thanks Klonan, you have clarified a point I had missed around the need of the entire collision mask list needing to be identical and not just having the same layer for the collision to not occur if both entities have this option flag.

In 0.17.30 the collision mask option "not-colliding-with-itself" has the behaviour of acting as a global whitelist of prototypes that don't collide with any other prototype with the flag. However the name implies that the prototype should only not collide with itself when it has this flag....

The mod portal doesn't group the change log in any way, just showing it all. The in-game view groups the changes in to tabs on the Major and I think minor version.

Hmm if date can't be duplicate does that mean somehow the "base" mod ignores the parsing? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version: 0.17.28 Date: 09. 04. 2019 Bugfixes: - Fixed a crash when hovering over some inventory-like...

thanks, works as expected

Breaks auto-research mod

Ourtown, hope you've made sure the mod author is aware they need to update their mod after the new functionality the Devs added

When you join an MP server and are missing mods and those mods have non default startup settings the "join server after sync" option doesn't follow through to after the mod startup settings sync action. So at the end of the process you haven't joined the server, you're left on the main men...

The new LuaForce.research_queue would expose read/write access to the forces current research queue as a numbered dictionary of technologies. With number 1 being the current research and counting up the queue. When read it would return LuaTechnology and when writing it would accept TechnologySpecifi...

At present when some player entities are marked for deconstruction they are disabled, like belts, inserters, assembly machines and walls joining up. However, turrets aren't disabled and continue to fire bullets/lasers when marked for deconstruction. Also beacons continue to give their effects and pu...

But the entity was built and still exists in the world. Just cause the builder is gone seems crazy for the event propagation to stop. The event still happened and the outcome is still valid despite the robot no longer existing. This is also inconsistent with other events that can have their referenc...

When 2 mods are both subscribed to the on_robot_built_entity event and a mod destroys the construction bot that did the building later called mods never receive the event. I would expect the later mods to still receive the event, however, the referenced "robot" in the event table would be ...
