There's one minor flaw with the super pump that I've found: in order to make the throughput capabilities so ridiculous, I had to give the pump's fluidbox a ridiculous height (1500, vs. a regular pipe's 1). Because of this, if the output backs up, the pipe will amass a ridiculous amount of buffer. An...

Well, mods do crazy things sometimes. And for testing crazy builds (or crazy mods ;) higher numbers might come in handy. Huge tanks are not uncommon either, and 30 seems like a strangely odd number. And above all: This is factorio. So increasing the manual input limit to 100k or 1M without changing...

(note: you can set any integer value between 0 - 30,000, not just the slider increments) Any particular reason why the upper limit is so low? I.e. the Electric Energy Interface also has a GUI slider with a much lower range than the actually allowed values - allowing advanced usage without making th...

Fluid energy source Holy crap, you're a genius. The fluid energy source method works perfectly, and I have implemented it into Editor Extensions: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/306402592265732098/760303096575819796/9d7f901e-9e35-43eb-b7b4-a52ff5c7825a.gif (note: you can set any integer va...

Instead of having 10k prototypes, add one for each power of two and do a binary numbers addition of them. then it's just log2(n) pump entities required for precision down to 1/tick. For flow up to 12k/second or 720k/tick that's just 20 static entities needed. If it's possible to make multi-entity p...

THE REQUEST: Add a method for adding a new child to a LuaGuiElement somewhere other than the end. Perhaps add an index key to the element's table that specifies the index in the children list it should be inserted? THE REASON: I can guarantee that I'm not the first one to ask for this, but I couldn...

Here to give my enthusiastic +1.

Factorio 1.1 will let you set infinity pipes to constantly add or remove a certain amount of liquid to/from themselves. This lets you test input or output rates, but does not let you rate-limit in the middle of a system. I will see about making it so pumps can have their speed changed at runtime for...

InfinityPipeFilter.percentage has value type double. It's just the gui that imposes limits on the value range.

Yeah, I realized this after posting as well. Regardless, I'm working with the devs and it's fairly likely that a solution will be made using the infinity pipe. Stay tuned.

I would have already suggested that to the https://mods.factorio.com/mod/EditorExtensions mod author, but unfortunately, h'es only on github, and I neither have, nor want to create an account on a platform for that. I'm actually on these forums as well. :) The only way I can foresee going about thi...

In the case of flib, it's a library mod, so that just doesn't make sense. For EE I can see your argument for this basic scenario, but for more complex scenarios, they might be expecting various mods to be present to provide the experience they intend. I can imagine that there are a lot of usecases f...

EDIT: This really should be in modding interface requests. Could a mod please move it there? I'm sorry! I would like to be able to specify a list of required mods for a specific scenario. For example, my Editor Extensions mod includes a "testing" scenario, and I would like to specify that...

When using LuaControl::can_insert , strange behavior can be observed when it comes to modules. If a module is in the entity's module inventory, whether or not that inventory is full, calling can_insert and passing that module into it will always return true. This does not happen for any other invent...

I see, thanks for the response. In that case, I'll create a version of my mod that doesn't have the settings that I'll use when creating the scenario, so that I can get the behavior I want.

Thank you!

I created a scenario for one of my mods that has a pre-built map and does a small amount of scripting when players and forces are created (namely, enabling cheat mode automatically for players). When I created this scenario, I had my mod loaded, since the pre-built world includes some of the mod's e...

What it says on the tin. If you remove fixed_recipe from the rocket silo (and un-hide the rocket part so you can select it in the menu), the silo will not save the set recipe to blueprints. Here is a small mod that I used while testing this: data.raw["rocket-silo"]["rocket-silo"]...

+1 on this.

A small request... could the infinity inventory filters be updated to use a similar GUI to infinity containers? That way, they would be positioned underneath the inventory instead of next to it, fixing the train GUI alignment problems, among other things. 2020-08-28 22_58_07-Factorio 1.0.0.png As an...

I see, I assumed that since you were moving to gui.screen that you would continue clearing there. If you're not clearing it, then it's all good. But I still stand behind what I said about gui.center.

Sorry for getting worked up.
