How do I make a capsule put an item on the ground where it lands?

I've tried create-entity with the item I want, and create-entity with an item-entity built as a pistol. Neither worked.

I feel I must be missing something obvious. Would someone put me out of my misery?

You could also look at how the Coverup mod does that for ore.

Assuming that's specifically what you're after.

I'd just like to say thank you to darkfrei for the answer on how to do this

Is there an easy way to find out what collision layers other major mods use for things? I don't want to cause conflicts.

There might be useful bits in this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Realistic_Electric_Trains

It does things with signals and power poles.

Have you looked at OmniFluid?

Learn better search-fu:

Try this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Rocket-Silo-Construction

And if you get hold of the graphics (with appropriate licensing) for the monuments you want (Factorio entities are draw at a 45deg down angle, mostly) then it's pretty trivial to make the mod.

Has anyone done any work on doing custom cliff generation?

For mining drones I had to clone the whole mod, because the places that needed changing were buried deeply in things with no exposed parts I could get to. There is probably a better way to do it than that. The places to care about (assuming that you just want a reskin, not the extra stuff I did to m...

Enable latest beta from steam or download from the website, then make sure they are enabled from ingame options. I have high-rez sprites turned on in general, but I still get low-rez sprites for things like Angel's Chem Plant and Elecrolyser. How do I get high-rez sprites for those? Is there a mod ...

So there are those beautiful high-rez graphics in the stickys, but the in-game graphics are still horrid low-rez ones.

Any chance we can get the high-rez graphics somehow?

Does swarmageddeon work with Rampant's new biter types?

Also seconding armoured biters.

I consider Schall Alien Mutation to be a lighter version of Rampant's new enemies. I wouldn't mix the two (Though I would probably still use Rampant for the AI improvements)

I like the new beacons, but I'm not a big fan of the multiples holes in the ground . It would be interesting to connect them to form a straight line. In most layouts, the beacons are aligned and stick together, so it would be really interesting to show how to use these beacons and make players want...

There is a combo issue with the science overhaul and Omnimatter - Electric Omnitractor research is needed to make red circuits, but has pre-req techs that need red circuits to research.

That's a neat trick.

I will have to remember it

When working with things like LTN, where you have a large number of different signals on the same wire, sometimes you want to filter out a selection of signals. What I think would be a really simple (and powerful) way of doing this would be to have a way for arithmetic and decider combinators to sa...

My search skills have failed me. I'm looking for a way to automate replacing spent battery packs and schall gun pods in trains. From the API it looks like its possible, but I couldn't find any mod that gives you any way to automatically manipulate vehicle equipment grids. Does it exist, or will I ha...

But what if they've changed it in other Locales as well?

I'd really like a solution that doesn't need to to even think about what language people are using.

That doesn't work. I guess the vanilla value has been completely overwritten, so maybe the data isn't there anymore?

Thanks, that's let me set it to a string I know.

Is there a way to get it to be the localised name of a vanilla item instead? I tried a few variations from looking at other mods and from the wiki page, but they all came up verbotem when I tried them with "storage-tank".
