NESTT. Seen it.

I'm going from scratch. Doing each part as a separate mod as they each have their own utility. Easy enough to then mix together later.

The train line part is simple enough. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/central_rails I'm thinking of adding ruined track as an option with some extra smarts. A locomotive placing rails is actually part of my overall goal for a bunch of my mods. Mining wagon and factory wagon are already both in develop...

Sounds like a good idea.

0.0.10 up.
rail signal spacing added. defaults to 30. minimum 2.
power pole spacing limit increased to 32. defaults to 30.

Ok having looked at this further, I'll treat luatrain's insert_fluid/remove_fluid methods as defective.

https://lua-api.factorio.com/0.17.79/Concepts.html#Fluid you have "type" when it should be "name" Well that helped with getting rid of the error message. Cheers for that, so luaTrain's documentation still needs a nudge, but I can't get the fluid to insert into the train. I can d...

Hi all, I'm trying to use luaTrain.insert_fluid and luaTrain.remove_fluid. The documentation for luaTrain isn't helping me. The insert_fluid doesn't have the parameter documented... https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaTrain.html#LuaTrain.insert_fluid (version 0.17.79) I've tried passing in a flui...

This was where I was headed, thanks.

I'm updating all my mods after hiatus and some new ideas require blueprinting I've never really investigated.

Theres no general answer other than "put your data into the existing entity state and have it blueprinted that way" is there?

Eg if I had an assembler that fails every x seconds and needs to store that into the blueprint.id need to encode that into the existing assembler somehow. Right?

Lets say i have a machine on map, eg a fancy kind of modded combinator.
How do i enable it for blueprinting so its state is kept in a blueprint in the usual way?
Its state might be complex such as a chunk of its own state.

Might be fun to have an alternative signal. Good diversion at least.

I use different prefixes for train stops to group by purpose or general area based on x,y position. A spreadsheet for naming trainstops or similar automated solution makes this easier.

This is why I usually export all train stops to CSV, edit them in bulk, then re-import them back in.

Use a camera gui element on a black surface. Then use LuaRendering to draw to that surface *cough*. I need to go now.

My plan exactly. I need high contrast text and a way to draw graphs. So Plan B it is.

I'd like to draw graphs and arbitrary lines in a canvas like gui element.

Use it for utilisation, custom shapes, lines circles etc. Essentially I'd like to have the equivalent of the luarendering API but instead targetting an gui element to draw into.

Might be Oarcs multiplayer spawn.

Hi all! Using wiki i got this error many time, with different browsers and restaring the pc: Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 2097152) (tried to allocate 290816 bytes) in /var/www/wiki.factorio.com/includes/libs/rdbms/database/DatabaseMysqli.php on line 220 Is my fault or wiki don't working ri...

But... It would be nice if it was accessible to modders, along with the ability to create new tutorials / campaigns. The campaigns/tutorials have been written in Lua since forever, so everything they do is also possible for mods/scenarios. Compilatron is an entity like an other and as such also &qu...

0.0.9 up. first attempt at surface tile interpolation: beats grass-1.

Try aligning it left. Make the amount of text longer than what fits. Different examples: /c local t = game.players[1].gui.left.add{name="sometextfield",text="L12345678901234567890C123456789012344567890R",type="textfield"} ; t.style.horizontal_align="left"; t.s...

My test code shows that textfield ignores style.horizontal_align.

Is this correct / expected behavior?
