I think it will be better to add an optional member argument for get_contents() instead.

Ok, obviously, we need LaTeX for a brief description of the mod. %)

Eh? There is a way:

Though it will not take into account the priority.

What a nice desync source it will be %)
All you need for this case is rcon command in crontab.

It seems you are doing all this in on build handlers. But do you raise any events when creating hidden poles?
Btw neighbours do not include all possible variants, only already connected ones.

You can se handlers for on_research_finished and on_technology_effects_reset.

Well, your GL driver does not support detecting the amount of VRAM the card has so I assume it's on the driver itself to decide what to do if more is assigned than available. Generally your settings require 3GB VRAM and you need to overwrite the default settings to get this issue in the first place...

For labs and miners you can use "laboratory-productivity" and "mining-drill-productivity-bonus" . With crafting things are more complicated. You can create several prototypes with a single difference in speed and replace old ones on build and finish of research. It's a hacky solu...

Do you really need an accurate player? Why not to use force-wide logic? Anyway something like this could work(untested): function robot_owner(robot) local cells = robot.logistic_network.cells if #cells ~= 1 then return nil end if not cells[1].mobile then return nil end local owner = cells[1].owner i...

You can write to the log file with log(). And you actually can throw an error with literally error().

I do not know how exactly the pathfinding works in factorio, but basically you have to build the weighted graph from your railroad. The vertexes will represent intersections and possible other notable points such as stops. Weight of the edges can contain length of the section itself and stuff like a...

Ok, weird side effect of the signal replacement code snippet, replaced signals can't be removed. On attempt, I get the message: "Enemy structure can't be mined. " I've already edited it, for whoever used command before fix: /c for _, surf in pairs(game.surfaces) do for _, sig in pairs(sur...

Command to recreate all signals: /c for _, surf in pairs(game.surfaces) do for _, sig in pairs(surf.find_entities_filtered{name = {"rail-signal", "rail-chain-signal"}}) do local arg = {name = sig.name, position = sig.position, direction = sig.direction, force = sig.force} sig.des...

Iterate over game.surfaces and use find_entities_filtered

Well, not impossible. But it requires to implement everything on the lua side -> large codebase and poor performance.

Rseding91 wrote:Why would you ever want to JSON encode/decode inside a mod which is 100% lua?

Because it is more or less standard format for rpc? Although for factorio it's probably better to pass the lua table and eval it.

Eh, did you restart server?

The error shows the fuel category name which happens to be chemical for uranium fuel and the error shows the fuel category name not the fuel name. If we made it show the fuel name you'd get the same error when trying to put uranium fuel into the reactor. You could change the fuel category name in t...
