Where would I put this? Would I make it a separate mod? I'm a bit rusty when it comes to modding... it's been at least a year since I've tinkered with any of it >_<. Yup - in the data-updates.lua or data-final-fixes.lua of its own mod with just that file plus a valid info.json, or else added to the...

Yup, got something working. It's what I'd consider brittle - the mod API doesn't have upload endpoints that are designed for programmatic access as far as I know, so the automation has a few hoops to jump through to act like a proper web browser .. and some of those hoops involve grepping the body o...

I have just made my small mod to update your loaders for UltimateBelts mod and it worls properly. ... PS. I will try now with making stacking boxes compatible with UltimateBelts... Can I use similar solution to deadlock_loaders.create ? Hey veriszg, Your work is appreciated but unfortunately you're...

Oh! Any idea when the 0.17 version is going to drop? o_O 0.17 of Factorio itself should be out as experimental in January (per https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-269 ), I plan on releasing the new combined beltboxes and loaders mod alongside it (beta versions attached on the previous page). For the...

How would I go about adding the crushed Bob/Angel ores to the stackable recipes? There are recipes for the un-crushed ores & crushed rock, but not the crushed ores :o I'm guessing you're using https://mods.factorio.com/mod/deadlock-stacking-crating-bobs to add the stacks for Bob's items? There'...

I don't think this should be a the recipe level. Rather at the inventory level. Putting 10 science packs with 50% health into an inventory should result in 5 full packs. The change in the recipe would be that the cycle only starts at 5 full items and not 4 full and one 50% item. Actually what does ...

Maybe the game engine should sum up the health of those items till it has a full 5 healths. Similar how wounded turrets are averaged in the inventory. My hunch is that this might not be something the devs are willing to make changes on since recipes just completely ignore health at the moment, but ...

Another minor update to the test version attached to the post on the previous page. There's a change to smooth out the behavior when multiple mods add stacks for the same items (if someone has two different mods installed both adding stacks for Bob's items for instance). The more interesting change ...

Assemblers, chemical plants, etc's input slots can accept more items than the stack size limit of the item in question, allowing 2 crafts worth of an item in their input slots despite the item potentially having a lower stack size. The same is not true for furnace entities - because they don't deter...

Great, thanks! That's all I need for the use case I'm thinking of, and I suppose if someone wants to do the big O(N) scan and incur the performance pain they would be able to do it directly with find_entities_filtered.

And our friend Stapler would also like an event fired when a robot is 'spawned' / sent out for delivery

Looking for attributes to associate active construction and logistic bots with the entity they're on their way to. On the robot entity, an attribute like destination or delivery_target with the entity that the robot's on its way to deliver to or build, as well as possibly another for where it's on i...

Looks great. Haven't been able to try it out on a running game, but have glanced over the code and it's exactly what I had in mind, and probably even tidier. Nice work. Good to hear, thanks! Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see adjusted, I want to make sure this mod stays aligned with ...

Thank you for stepping in and continuing to maintain the mods, there is a slight issue. I’m not able to de stack the stacks by hand because the icons are red but apart from that everything seems to be working. Good catch, that's my own dumb fault for doing most of my testing in cheat mode. That's f...

Alright, folks - after a long weekend and about 30 different test save files, I think I'm ready to ask for some alpha testing on the new version of DSB and DCL for 0.17. The changes are essentially what Deadlock outlined in https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=57264&start=340#p3...

Yeah, good news and bad news :? My thinking for the belt styles was to keep them around but spin them out into their own mod for 0.17, possibly with them as one option alongside the "old" 0.16 vanilla belt style as another option (I'm sure some people will be nostalgic for the current spri...

I don't have any big plans for this mod as opposed to the planned mod merge for Loaders/Beltboxes, but as long as the changes needed to maintain this mod don't turn into a major project due to API changes, I should be able to keep the version on the mod portal working with 0.17 and beyond.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about the new permissions settings - collaborator rights might come in handy for small patches to the existing mod, but I think I'm also leaning toward a new mod release for the big revamp - getting all the mod integrations out of the base mod and just provide the API for belt...

Announcement My real-life circumstances have changed (for the better) and I've got precious little time for gaming. So I think it's highly unlikely I will get around to the work I was planning around updating to 0.17 and merging these mods into one. I was hoping there would be some kind of vanilla ...

As I said in the original post, the blueprinting would include the train settings. It should include all train settings, schedule, cargo wagon filters, colour, grid contents etc. This is a much needed feature as setting up trains over and over is very time consuming and tedious. It's also easy to m...
