I have just had a discussion with someone wanting to make a foreign language version of my mod and this was the only piece missing in why a mod shouldn't be duplicated for each language.

At the moment you basically need to speak English to be able to search for mods.

We found that our belt's items were static with gaps in after removing a mod that added an item present on that belt. https://gfycat.com/UnconsciousMadeupEel To Witness Issue load mod that added the charcoal item (fws_0.1.11): https://mods.factorio.com/download/fws/5bfafed8c1355d000b412b43 load save...

Nice

Can the Freeplay scenario control.lua include an interface/commands to disable the default new game behaviour, in the same manner as the silo script can be disabled. As this scenario is the default used by most servers it would be helpful for mods that use different win conditions or starting condit...

I don't think the ghost cursor should be disabled by default on the interface. Yes disable it during the early stages of the campaign, until it can be tutorialed and introduced to the player. But during free play the whole game should be unlocked and active. Same logic applies to research queue. The...

Can an event be added for both on_wire_connected & on_wire_disconnected to include both connected entities of the wire, the wire type and for player and bot. The player one should include the magic BP free wires. I am aware this has been requested over the years, but the developer answer was a lack ...

Ah, thanks will hunt that down. Is there a trick we can use to have found this out ourselves?

Iterate. MVP (minimum viable product)

There is no financial or operational imperative to release in this scenario though. It's not like new graphics drivers are released that require an update to work or similar.

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 f...

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 o...

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 aren...

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaSurface.html#LuaSurface.regenerate_entity 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 empty p...

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.png", w...

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. ...
