Could we please have a link from LuaEntityProtoype that points to the matching LuaEquipmentGridPrototype?

It would be more effective if I could first find all entity ...

Re: Fails to restart after adding mods and updating
Here's a copy of my current/previous logs when this occurred.
Immediately before this I:
Upgraded some mods, and installed some other mods.
Restarted Factorio.
Synced mods with save.
Factorio closed, but did not restart. Well, obviously it started, given the log file, but it did not manage to ...

Re: Friday Facts #348 - The final GUI update
Perhaps a cut-away icon of a single cylinder would look good for the engine, given that we rarely use just the one engine for anything? Logically, you would be constructing a v20 engine out of individual single-cylinder sub-assemblies when you build a locomotive, for example.

Re: Friday Facts #345 - Unit group collision mask & Artillery shell particle
As far as I can tell, the particle looks to be made from the artillery shellcartridge with the projectile removed, though, I think that we need a new projectile sprite; in the video, it looks like the projectile is dragging the case along, which is now also being ejected by the cannon.

Re: Friday Facts #333 - Terrain scrolling
Depending on how complicated the tile transition rules are, could you not have a texture with 1 pixel/tile that stored the tile variation number, then have a shader use that to index into the tile texture during rendering? More or less a sharp-edged displacment map.

Re: Friday Facts #330 - Main menu and File Share Shenanigans
It sounds like you want HA (high availability) for your file server, not just RAID. I assume all of the NAS vendors support HA, Synology does at least.
Do you have a UPS for the NAS? It could be dirty power, which the NAS isn't designed for because it assumes it will be hooked up to a UPS, while PC ...

Re: Dealing with large operations in a single tick.
Perhaps a 'charging' animation as the teleporter winds up, giving you time to do stuff. You'd need to check the player is still present when the charging phase is done, of course.

Re: Enable coroutines in data phase?
Um. It's not possible to have prior examples of coroutines for Factorio use-cases because you can't have a working example, because coroutines are disabled?
After having thought about things a little, I'm fairly certain that the rosetta code example is something I actually did write for Factorio ...

Re: Add Option to enable Quick Play menu
Wouldn't it feasible to just have a 'Continue' entry as the first (and default) entry in the main menu, and have that either load your last single-player save, or reconnect to your last multiplayer session?
In that case, once the main menu has loaded, you only need hit enter to start playing.

Re: Enable coroutines in data phase?
For example Cartesian product in Lua , which has a functional, coroutine-based, and iterative implementation.
Of the three the coroutine-based one is simpler; you don't have as much scaffolding around the algorithm to confuse the reader about what's going on. I can just read the code, and I ...

Explicit errors for removed Lua features
TL;DR
It would be nice if the Lua environment would immediately error when attempting to use a removed feature.

As an example, coroutines are disabled in the control phase, but the error when attempting to use them didn't actually state that, and I had to look around on the forum to find ...

TL;DR
Allow using coroutines in the data phase.

If re-enabling coroutines is simple, eg. omitting coroutine = nil, it would be nice to have them available in the data phase.

From the posts on the forum, I believe that coroutines were removed from the Lua interpreter as there was ...

Re: Friday Facts #304 - Small bugs; Big changes
I think that what would be most nifty is to have a fractionating column powered by heat, and a heat-producer that burns all oils.
To bootstrap, you burn crude, then later you burn any product you don't want; basically using the burner as a flare stack. Perhaps also a low-temp heat exchanger?

Alternatively, could a notion of a cluster be added; if you connect to a server that's part of a cluster, it allows transfer to other nodes in that cluster.
