That's not a bug. Catalysts aren't included in production statistics, as they aren't really being produced or consumed. There are other reports about it around: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=69934&p=425349&hil ... st#p425349

Sounds like viewtopic.php?p=461762#p461762 though both directions at once is new.

Pretty sure the game generates chunks in a radius around the player, so once the player gets teleported it starts generating chunks, thus replacing what you made. You can set the chunks to generated to avoid it being changed (https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaSurface.html#LuaSurface.set_chunk_g...

It's probably because you play in peaceful mode, this disables achievements.

Peaceful mode only disables 4 achievements related to biters (either directly or because they're needed to make the goal challenging). It has no effect on any of the others.

Huh turns out you totally can put the vector outside the nominal bounds of the miner. Not sure if there's a limit, but you could certainly do the multiple miners in a row trick.

On Steam, there is beta branch (you can configure it in Factorio properties in Steam library) called "console". It will always match the latest console release, as they take much longer then our PC releases, so the versions probably won't be qble to keep up. That was an absolutely excelle...

This code grabs the value 'bp_entities' and then does nothing with it, while providing a parameter when the function doesn't take any. It's entirely superflous - maybe it was used for debugging at one point, but it really doesn't need to be there. Biggest issue is it keeps a copy of the return from ...

https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Ent ... cification does that. You can see a version of it on the electric miner - it highlights the given radius with the given sprite. I use it to illustrate the range of the fisheries, farms, and terraformers in Homeworld Redux.

Unfortunately, while we can compare LuaAPI of different Factorio versions, there is no history of the prototype definitions . Do you know whether item.stackable ever was a valid property? It's not really important (I've removed that from my WIP version), I'm just wondering how this ever got include...

That's a different kind of error message. You can't highlight anything in the load error box, so you can't copy it.

Thank you for the hint. "is_visible" means showing live to the player (always 25) in the map - or any radar (50 each, unless overlapping of course) Ooops copied the wrong one. It's the command above that one that checks if a force has charted a chunk: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/L...

The game generates chunks as they are needed - either because a player explored them, pollution reached them, a script asked for it to be generated, etc. It generally generates a few chunks beyond what a player sees. Map generation also uses a scheduling system so depending on what tick you call it ...

Far as I know DifficultySettings are only part of LUAGame, which means it's shared by everyone. You could approximate such a thing by setting one of the forces productivity bonus so their research becomes cheaper comparatively. It doesn't work perfectly (since bonuses are additive, if they both put ...

You're probably overcomplicating things. I do see were you are coming from, but you need to know the difference between my laptop, desktop and my goals, my laptop is a newish (I bought it last fall) MSI gaming laptop with octo core (even though I know that means nothing for Factorio) that is runnin...

And how are you checking what it returns? Note that if you're using print to print the results, print will not output the same string twice. So even if you find two assembling machines if you loop over the results and print the type, it'll only print "assembling-machine-1" ONCE.

Print is setup to ignore multiple calls with the same parameters. If you call print("hello") five times in a row, it'll print once and ignore the rest. It doesn't want the console spammed with the same message. If you really need to see them all, switch to the log command which logs everyt...

Entity update is extremely high - that's how long it takes to update all the things on the map and is pretty much just based on the size of your base as a whole. Logistic Manager is RIDICULOUSLY high. Looking at your minimap I'm guessing you have a massive logistic network covering everything. That'...

Almost certainly a dupe of this

Progress is a floating point number, they aren't precise so sometimes you get very tiny differences in the amounts.

What Happened I selected the Install tab under mods, which then asked me to login to my factorio account, hit the Escape key, and nothing happened. What I Expected For Escape to exit the dialog via the back button, as it does in other windows. Hitting Enter works as expected. Hitting 'e' does nothi...

I want to change the "Absorption modifier" from 100% to 50% and if possible the "Maximum group size" for the enemies to 30 midgame using the console. Is that possible and what would be the commands to do that? Should be something like /c game.map_settings.pollution.aeging = 0.5 ...
