hope the wave defense does allow use of generated worlds as then we can tailor the world gen to help control difficulty, i.e. make resources further apart or less rich in MP with 10 experienced players

Recipe Explorer, is this a new feature or a name for the little window that tells you the recipe ...

on a side note deleting chunks off the map in bulk takes much longer than it did when the map was smaller. so we have previously deleted 100 chunks vertically off the map to regenerate the biters etc on it.

We are seeing very high chunk generation times, often leading to mass player drop on the MP server due to connection timeouts. When tested in SP a single chunk generation will pause the average players game for a moment and 10 chunks generated by a flying arty shell will cause the game to hang for ...

Could the unique attributes of the Unit Spawner prototype be exposed as read only within the API under LuaEntity.

It was the "call_for_help_radius" attribute that I was trying to get, but after a discord discussion with Bilka I also notice that a number of other Unit Spawner specific attributes ...

At present, there isn't an easy way to regenerate all entities on a list of chunks. There is only an all entities default argument when the chunks argument is also not supplied.

Could an option for passing in an ...

just hit this as well. tried to use google advanced search, but it can't handle the sub forum url type.

Not sure if this mod is still supported, but it can be problematic if your bases power is heavily taxed by laser turrets and so these stop pumping water, leading to power generation running out of water. There is no burner alternative for water pumping like with burner inserters for feeding boilers ...

thanks, am using them as an in-game visual/animation only thing. As it looks like they are most suitable for this.

when i run the create trivial smoke command repeatedly manually via console I see the sparks animations drifting around. So first few times they may drift downwards on each animation run, then they drift down right, and later straight right. It feels like smoke drift.

The trivial-smoke seems to be affected by wind regardless of the "afffected_by_wind" data prototype attribute being set to false.

With the below code in data.lua

data:extend({
{
type = "trivial-smoke",
name = "wheel-sparks",
animation = {
filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/sparks/sparks-01 ...

Could the in game error and API description be updated for that as at present that isn't apparent?

When using the LuaControl.Teleport() function on an entity (ie: car) and the current surface is provided it returns a custom Factorio error message:
error.GIF
However, if no surface is specified there is no error and the command runs correctly. The surface argument is optional in the documentation ...

I think using that was an oversight by someone as the other wired miners look to be set to this miners ore only.

On the game engine side I agree it is an unusual situation created by the dangOreus mod, but would a limit to the patch size search not be appropriate at the game engine level. I would ...

Is this mod still supported, as theres a report of desync in MP on the Mod Portal discussions. We have seen desyncs when using this mod with others, so not sure which is the cause as very intermittent.

I am not sure if this is safe:

dir = placed.direction

I was a little miffed about the lack of a working factory within the picture, so decided to have some attempts of my own. Not the easiest to work within the size and with the need for logos being kept clear of wires and obstructions.

In a single player game on an existing map save, if you change some mod MAP settings and Apply, then click to save the game and exit. When you then load the save the mod settings you changed have been lost.

I know it is the same cause as this "not a bug": https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f ...

If anyone wanted to do their own damage logic in Lua, etc.

I wanted to also use it to get the player health and shield prior to vehicle impact. So I could undo the vehicle impact affect exactly.

Fair enough.

The on_player_crafted_item event states
