Oh, I am so blind... must have skipped it because of the name. Thanks! :) Edit: the code line local oItemToCrackRecipe = data.raw.recipe[cargItemToCrackName] gives me: Error while running the event handler: __barter__/control.lua:164: attempt to index global 'data' (a nil value) what did I do wrong?

I already use this method but each time, I'm thinking about why they didn't do bots that take items. Maybe I'm just a little frightened the devs lose the overall focus when doing those extra-thingies that (for me) have no real use and which can already be accomplished ingame without those extra-thi...

You won't end up with forgotten chests if you pick them up for reuse afterwards. Even easier: don't rely on the logistics network (small orange area) but on the construction "network" (larger green area): place a chest, stuff it, then order deconstruction. The bots will come along and tak...

I think all the data you want is in data.raw.recipe. It might be easier to walk that table after it is built to construct your item cracking list. [edit] Ignore me. It looks like the data you want is in all three places. I already have the "cracking" working: --[[! Contains the central lo...

logistic trash area in player's inventory - get rid of things you don't need by sending them to the logistic system Place an active provider chest, put stuff inside, pick it up after empty. And end up with random, forgotten chests chests throughout the base. Bots can deliver things, why not let the...

Then we mine them for resources and build cyborgs and zombies and muahaha

Okay, with 0.11.16 already built belts from the older savegame are still not sleeping. Should they?

Hi, I'm currently trying to implement some kind of recycler which takes items and cracks them into their components. Then cracks these again until whitelisted or "raw" items (wood, ore) without a recipe are found. Now that 0.11.16 is finally here ^^ I tried out LuaRecipe.ingredients . As d...

- find the savegame - IMPORTANT: make backup - unzip the file - open "level.dat" in the editor - change the fifth byte from 0F (=15) to 0E (=14) - save - zip everything again (make sure the folder structure stays the same) - cross fingers :) It's not just "level.dat", but also &...

If a chest with robots in it gets other items it can fill it and then it would start putting new robots in a different chest. I never saw any chest have two different item types in them. And neither of these two bot chests could have gotten full as I don't have enough bots flying around to fill one...

I'm currently updating the core code to be compatible with 0.11.x, bot-awareness and other fixes.
If Xecutor accepts the changes there will be a new version (it's ready at my desktop).
MP testers sought.

Okay, I fiddled around with the mod and, as nice as the idea is, it's in a quite broken state and needs serious attention. I am a total LUA noob and have 0.01% knowledge of the factiorio LUA API but I still figured those things out: - not blueprint compatible. Placing/removing with bots results in i...

Hm, I experienced this:

I was under the impression storage chests work this way: Storage chests - Things only end up here under two circumstances. First, bots will empty active provider chests into storage if there are no requesters that need those things. Second, construction bots will take stuff that they dismantle to st...

While I won't use the mod (95%-vanilla is my style) I always get goosebumps seeing that epic preview pic "kapow! outpost done!". Congratulations, great stuff

You can see the point of view of Albert this time: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-69 This is what I first thought when I saw the game, you're playing as an genocidal alien invader who pillages a planet for its resources, and massacres the natives to skin them for your leather pillows. And t...

Due to problems with autosave I disabled it and played for around three hours (with some intermediate manual saves). Then suddenly it crashed - unexpected to me. I was mining some run-dry extractors and their belts on a copper field into inventory, nothing unusual, and I've done this some minutes be...
