Would that be able to handle entities with different max health?

I dont think so, only health seems to be in the prototype

Thanks everyone for fixing the issues with my script, I havent been able to test any of this myself. I've written up a research control script to automatically increment a global regen rate. require "defines require "util" function init() --Initialises the global value if glob.monster...

This is just a draft, once more work is done and its reasonably packaged i can work on it more. If this doesnt work let me know. Just save it as control.lua require "defines" require "util" game.onevent(defines.events.ontick, function(event) if glob.ticking == nil then glob.ticki...

I think if we're getting different team support in 0.12 It would be a good idea to implement some sort of diplomacy settings, so factions can be allies, neutral and enemies. I might make some PvP games pretty interesting if allegiances can shift around during the game.

So, according to the wiki, healing_per_tick only works on active entities, but I don't see anywhere I can set an entity to be active. There's mention of an [entity].active = true but it doesn't seem to be working, or else I don't know how to use it. Thats not a problem, i can set up a script in the...

Hey, what sort of stuff do you have done already?

I can help out with the research scripting if you need the help.

I might try my hand at making some wall graphics, I will see what i can do.

big-wooden-pole.PNG - file extension in uppercase.
After renaming extension to lowercase - all OK.

Hi did you download 0.0.1 or 0.0.2, this should be fixed in 0.0.2

Its perfectly easy, I have two directories, one is my 'main' one, which i used the installer to install, with the mod directory being in my romaing folder, the other i have uses its own directory to store the mods, and made straight from the .zip i think. If you want to create more directories you c...

Well if i've to research those things i have layed the initial poles from my Steampower halve across the starting area to the rest. Research won't work with turning a crank. Means i'd have to rewire the whole thing anyways, would be nicer to have them from the start but thats only my opinion. Hey, ...

I think having false cliffs or 'false isometric cliffs' as i think i've called them in the past would be such a great addition to the game, and i really hope the devs jump on board. The technicalities of what underground belts and poles and things will do isnt much of an issue, and im sure there wil...

Yea it would be cool!

I know a real disadvantage, I know that Dysoch is using the wind to determine where the capsule effects should be heading to, and he changes the wind speed every 5 seconds :) It would totally break some stuff from Dytech :P I don't really think its helpful in the Development proposals to talk about...

Hey this looks great chris, really hope you manage to figure out those locales

Right now there are descriptions missing in game for most of the stuff, theres only descriptions for science packs and logistics chests, maybe some others i missed but i just briefly checked. It wouldn't be too hard to pool together and make a community pack sort've thing, but implementation in the ...

Would just like to say, it would be so useful to have render_layer working for all entities.

I think it is too early/late/not the right time for those suggestions, because this part of the game is currently in progress of development and we cannot change anything yet. All decisions are done, we don't know, how the result will be and it is a bad idea to change a plan in the middle of progre...

IDK what you mean by making ticking entities, but with the lua script you can tick a function however often you like, for instance in my mod (linked in my signature) I tick the heating of my entity using code in the control.lua of my mod.

Hi, there are LOADS of mods.

Even a mod that sucks items like a vacuum

Maybe look around the mod section some more?
