Thank you for this listing, and... what to do next? I've never run any code in Factorio before. Give me please further instructions or some topic to read. Go into console mode with the shortcut defined in Settings -> Control settings --> Basic interaction under "Toggle chat (and Lua console)&q...

CS for chain signals
S for normal signals

Passenger/driver is the same to me (when talking about cars in factorio). So, to clarify, both driver and gunner override the color when they're in the car, driver takes priority. The color that you see on the empty car is only set once the player leaves the car, so you can override it after they d...

Hey, I took the liberty to interpret this as a modding interface request and added it for the next version.

Oh, thank you -- that's wonderful!

How can I read/set per script who controls the weapons in a vehicle?

We can use LuaForce.add_chart_tag(surface, tag) to place a tag (icon and/or text) on the map. Unfortunately, such tags are visible to all players belonging to that force. I'm looking for add_chart_tag on a per-player level, so I can leave tags on the map that are only visible to an individual player...

Not quite what I need, I'm afraid: minimap_representation seems to be only available in prototype definitions. Now, my mod works with any vehicle of type "car". So I could use data-final-fixes.lua to find all entities of that type and add/modify their minimap_representation. But that would...

If you ask me then no, it's force .add_chart_tag(surface, tag), but for your needs it must be player .add_chart_tag(surface, tag) or force.add_chart_tag(surface, tag, player ) That's what I already suspected. Looks like I've to make another API request. :-) In the same context: Vehicles are marked ...

LuaForce.add_chart_tag
LuaForce.find_chart_tags

Is there something like LuaForce.add_chart_tag for individual players, so that the tag on the map can only be seen by one particular player, not everybody else on the same force?

Also, the biggest hurdle for the base pathfinder now is something very relatable to everyone: Trees.

Can it be solved by just reducing the collision hitbox of trees? I know a lot of people use mods for that already.

That may come bundled with other issues, though.

To expand on this: this is a known side effect of cross-surface teleportation and the same thing happens with character entities when teleporting them across surfaces. I don't have a perfect solution to it yet so that's just how it works for now. When I figure out how to solve the issue(s) then I w...

What really? Oh. In that case, never mind. Lol. Just let them fill up a bit more then, maybe.

Ammo in a destroyed turret will be lost, ammo on a belt not. So as long as there is ammo available, it should be safer to load only just enough into a turret to keep it going.

This is kind of engine limitation, when removing car from first surface, lua handle gets disconnected from car. So, when teleporting to another surface, "vehicle.teleport(entity.position, entity.surface)" is basically just like an alias for vehicle.clone{position=entity.position, surface=...

2) Characters can't be assigned to players on different surfaces. Which I believes applies to drivers or passengers of vehicles too. Teleport to the surface where the character is, assign it and then teleport where you need to go. Correct. I've been wasting time lately with using teleport() for mov...

Maybe that broke when they added passenger support or I simply remember wrong.

Never mind. It's almost working now, and of course I've implemented the check for uncharted chunks you suggested.

Haven't used clone() yet. I'd assume that it's an exact copy except for the entity unit_number. I'm not sure what it does to the inventory content though. Some items have unique indexes/tags too (blueprints, modded items like factorissimo factories!, etc). So it might be nessecarry to clone the car...
