Don't worry, i first went for a farm, which would deplete the foel over time, because the most basic version has no water input, so the ground dries out. It should not be placeable on concrete/stone path tiles, because it's DIRT and you put none in the crafting recipe. I also wanted for the ground ...

I tried exactly the same thing again and it worked. I guess i made a mistake on my first try.
This is the working code:
for index,tile in pairs(data.raw.tile) do
if string.find(tile.name, "concrete") or string.find(tile.name, "path") then
tile.collision_mask = {"layer-15"}
end
end

I'D like to make my entity collide with concrete/stone tiles, but it appears they have no collision layer assigned and my tries to assign a collision layer have been unsuccessful. Is there any other way to do so?

bump

So I guess for assembling-machine it is not possible. Is there any workaround?

I created a new entity which you can walk on, but when the player is standing on the upper half, the entity is rendered in front of the player. I want it to always be rendered behind the player, like belts do. How can i do that?

I just figured it out. It is event.player_index.

Thanks for your help

OK, thanks, but where do I get the player_index?
The game doesn't want to accept it just like that.

When you spawn in a new world, you already have a furnace, 8 iron and a burner miner. I'd like to add some of my own items to that starting inventory. How can I do that?

That would be very useful!

One "wood" has exactly 2000000J of energy, so that's fine. For my purposes I have set the power consumption to 500W, so it lasts 4000 seconds, which is exactly 3 items crafted (They take very long).

I know It's off topic but i'd like a way to not be able to place the machine at the same place ...

Thanks! that's exactly what i searched for

I found out i can use Now i only need to figure out how to apply those commands after placing the entity

How exactly should i use that?

neither of the exmples below work

energy_source =
{
type = "burner",
usage_priority = "secondary-input",
fuel_inventory_size = 0,
energy = "420kJ",
emissions = -0.02,
},



energy_source =
{
type = "burner",
usage_priority = "secondary-input",
fuel ...

Cool idea, but that means there's no way? (i tried it, and it didn't work, so it was just a suggestion)

But i got another idea how to work around it!
When you place burner inserter or roboport, it has some small amount of energy stored inside. How can i do that?

i want to make a machine for crafting, which doesn't reqire power, but it doesn't let me delete the energy_source and energy_usage

I'm new to modding and i was wondering how to change global variable after using an item. Similarly to using fish to heal yourself. I would also like to be able to display in the tooltip how much will the value change (again like the heal amount displayed in tooltip of a fish). There is also a ...

I just meant if he is normally walking/running (default by using WASD)

Tis looks usable. Not exactly what i was looking for, but with few lines of code, i can divide by moving speed (affected by exoskeletons, etc..)and ignore other means of transportation. THANKS!

I'd like to detect if a player is running. Is there any way to do so?
