Re: on_player_placed_equipment by mod/player
Edit: To actually address the topic: I suspect that one reason to want to know if the event was raised by a script is to avoid two scripts duelling over what precisely should be in the equipment grid or not. I assume that that's a large part of why the script_raised events exist. --- At least in 0.1...

Re: on_player_placed_equipment by mod/player
Perhaps an optional player field in on_equipment_inserted, if nil, it wasn't a player?

Re: Six legs good, Eight legs bad!
I like spiders; they tend to eat all the other creepy-crawlies.
In terms of a practical solution, replacing the leg graphics with empty graphics seems the most compatible solution for multiplayer.
Perhaps a zip file of empty png files to overwrite the base graphics?

Re: Guidelines for matching the game's art style?
One of the FFFs suggested that the graphics are first rendered, and then possibly distressed, and then for icons, the individual mipmaps tweaked to look good. The impression I get is that Factorio buildings tend to be weathered, while Angel's, and even more so Pyanodan's, are shiny and new, as if th...

Re: A new prototype type to describe compound entities?
I think you would basically need the equivalent of, or perhaps precisely, a blueprint string to make that work, including the ability to specify sub-tile locations, circuit connections, etc.

Re: A new prototype type to declare magic entities?
Ah, but what if you want to make something magic in two ways; if you have just one tag, only one value can be associated; you could also do a set of tags, so this thing is interesting to mod 1 and mod 2.eradicator wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 10:31 amA freetext "tag=" on PrototypeBase would be sufficient.

A new prototype type to declare magic entities?
It would be useful to be able to declare that a given entity is magic (has additional behaviour that is supplied by a control script), so that if a mod creates a derived entity, it too can be flagged as being magical, without requiring explicit support in both mods. something like: data:extend{ { ty...

A new prototype type to describe compound entities?
It could be useful to have a new prototype that can encode the components of a compound entity (one where a proxy object is built, and immediately replaced with a set of other entities). As an example use-case, it is not possible to create a Battery powered Cargo Ship without explicit support from b...

None of them are exactly what you're after, but they do work in the same general area.

Re: Playing on the net of a cube.
The main reason why is someone (not particularly seriously) suggested playing on the surface of a 4D object, which I don't think it would be feasible to represent with a 2D map, so I tried to think of what could be feasibly implemented, and I think you could implement a cube. You can only implement ...

Re: Rail SIGNAL Bridge mod?
I imagine what you'd need is something of a cross between a rail signal (so you can place them next to rail), a power pole (graphically) and an underground belt, for the behavior and cost. I'm guessing the signalling would ideally be configurable, but it would probably work acceptably well to only s...

Playing on the net of a cube.
It might be feasible to implement playing on the surface of a cube, by unrolling the surface into its net. At any point in time, the map would look something like the following, where the player's position is a the centre of the cross (the 2 surfaces). 3 1265 4 If the player were to walk off the edg...

A mail rocket-order service. Package up a request and payment into an item, stick the item into a rocket, send the rocket off, this produces an item that represents the order is being processed.

Re: Allow "OR" prerequisites in technology prototype
It's easy enough to do a workaround , but I agree, it would be nice to be able to specify 'or' in addition to 'and' for a technology's prerequisites. I think that the or condition would be better represented as a distinct node, though, so the player can reason about it visually as they can currently...

It would be nifty if it was possible to supply an icon for the 'nothing' technology effect, be that an `icons` parameter, a reference to some thing that has an icon, or perhaps something completely different.
