Is there a way to detect whether a game is currently running in /editor mode? A user reported a crash with GCKI : Error while running event GCKI::on_player_driving_changed_state (ID 26) LuaPlayer doesn't contain key player. Trying out the editor mode for the first time, I got another crash: Error wh...

I think last time I tried bioindustries ~7 months ago it required concrete for the normal rails … You're right: BI changes the recipe for vanilla rails, so it provides 3 rail recipes (not considering those for rail bridges and powered rails): Normal rails (modified): Crushed stone, steel plates, ir...

Bio Industries has wooden rails -- but it also has a recipe requiring stone to update them to normal rails.

Raised event seems to bypass filter Does anybody have an idea what's going on there? Yup, that's just how it is currently. You have to keep your own Lua-based filtering code around in the event so that other mods raising events doesn't break things. That's why https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic....

You're also missing some event parameters. https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/index.html#Events event.name=defines.events[event] event.tick=game.tick Sorry, but I don't see how these should be relevant. I'm not using event.name and event.tick in my script, so why should I set them? Secondly, you'v...

This bug that manifests itself in the Rocket-Silo Construction mod seems to be caused by one of my mods. GCKI listens for on_built_entity and makes use of filtering by entity name: script.on_event(defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event) GCKI.dprint("Entered event script on_built_entity...

Currently I have 4 copies of Factorio on my computer..... 1 Factorio 15.37 (playing with "GreyGoo" auto expanding factory) (Never gets Updated) 2 Factorio 17.78 (with favorite mods) 3 Factorio 17.78 (With Industrial Revolution Mod Pack) 4 Factorio 17.78 (With Space Exploration Mod Pack) W...

Crash with 0.17.77: No other mod was active when this happened, just IR. That shouldn't be possible. The function it is saying has a nil value is required just a few lines above. Can't reproduce with 0.17.78. Unless there is some other contextual info I'm missing, I'd class this as "1/0 magic&...

See here Hence the modding interface request. Ooops, didn't see what subforum the post was in -- I always look at "New posts". :-D See here , here , and here . I don't see anything there why it shouldn't work -- which doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't anything. :-D y no targety bi...

I am quite sure my trains have better breaks than my tank

Could be because there is research for Braking force of trains -- but not for cars? (In factorio, tanks are cars …)

Make sure that the train station is not deactivated too early! […] You also need to make sure that the full trains will all be able to unload at your smelting site, or wherever their cargo needs to go. When I tried to build a smart rail network, I didn't deactivate stations at all. Instead, I used ...

The artillery has a minimum range. I set it to 0, you can see screenshot its attacking the worm. Why no damage or attacky biters? See here : In automatic mode, [artillery turrets] function much the same as other turrets, automatically scanning for valid targets within range and firing on them. Auto...

@Deadlock989: Sorry for the noise! I've cleaned up a bit on my end, and the game starts again. (I don't see, though, why the bug only occurred if IR was installed together with the language pack -- even if the default locale was used.) Probably because loading order is actually arbitrary. A-Z is a ...

I could also test things without adding them to the mod, including things I'd like to merge later, without having to constantly re-zip the file. You can have zipped and unzipped versions of the same mod in one directory, as well as different versions of the same mod. The game will use the latest ve...

Factorio 0.17.75 broke many mods that create new rails, resulting in crashes. Rail fix makes sure that all rails have a valid collision_mask. How does it work? This mod checks all entities of the types "curved-rail" and "straight-rail". It makes sure that the entity has a collisi...

Update (0.17.11): Bumped dependency on base mod to >=0.17.75. Use the event filtering mechanism introduced in Factorio 0.17.75. This should improve performance as the mod now ignores events it doesn't need to know about. Fixes that a dummy character is left on the surface if a vehicle controlled by ...

Wouldn't it be great if you could select the factory and move it 2 tiles and then the construction bots would go and deconstruct the old and build the new BUT include all the contents? So an assembler holding 40 steel plates would get a proxy for 40 steel plates (I know that can be done) and the be...

The new tool tips look good indeed! But I've a suggestion: If a vehicle has weapons, they are shown in the tool tip. However, it would be nice to see whether the weapons can actually be used: vehicle_tooltips.png As you can see in the inventory, the car doesn't have ammo, so it doesn't really have u...
