IDEA: Instead of having "remote control anything" or "reach anywhere"... for other planets, there could be a way to "Clone" the player. That means, the player can leave a clone of self on the other planet... or send a clone to the other planet. Then add feature to allo...

No need, I've fallen into the same trap often more than once myself.

Thanks for this insight!

Glad I could help you out!

Now I tried and tested a million variants of the following piece of code: if player.is_cursor_blueprint then For some reason the output is always "Cursor is a blueprint", no matter which item I select. Your condition is wrong! See the definition of LuaControl::is_cursor_blueprint : is_cur...

For some reason the output is always "Cursor is a blueprint", no matter which item I select. See the description of LuaControl::is_cursor_blueprint : Note that both this method and LuaControl::get_blueprint_entities refer to the currently selected blueprint, meaning a blueprint book with ...

I want to calculate maximum speeds of vehicles based on a car prototype (depending on vehicle, fuel, terrain, and stickers). Looking at the wiki I've found this about speed in reverse of the vanilla car : The top speed of the car in reverse is ~70.7% of the forward top speed. and tank : The top spee...

In what format will LuaEntity::sticker_vehicle_modifiers return the data? I suppose it's a dictionary of modifier names mapped to float-type values. But if I'd want to read the value of the entities vehicle_speed_modifier , under what name exactly would I find it: "speed", "speed_mod...

I've Added LuaEntity::sticker_vehicle_modifiers read for the next 1.1 release. Thank you! Just a question so I can prepare my mod for 1.1.93: In what format will LuaEntity::sticker_vehicle_modifiers return the data? I suppose it's a dictionary of modifier names mapped to float-type values. But if I...

@PI-C I intend no offense, but the way you describe you experience the internet is not the common case. No offense taken, I never claimed my way of doing things was the common way. The part of the internet that deals with interaction, socialization, meeting people and discussing developed its own w...

Gives a crown to players who totalled 10k+ hours playing the game, a purple aura for 50k+, and golden armor for 100k+ 8-) This might work if there was just one character that could be used by players, but there are way too many characters available where your crown and golden armor wouldn't fit (se...

Hi, this is the simple question but many many users want to know, maybe. Official mods (Space Age, Quality, Elevated Rails) can play on Nintendo Switch ????? I would like to know this as well. How will all this content work on Nintendo Switch which does not support mods? Did you know that you are t...

Amongst the things that help readability (imho) : whenever icons make sense, they help make things way more compact and more ergonomic. Icons work for communication if sender and recipient have "agreed" upon what they mean. 2023-10-05 21_44_01-Window.jpg Notice how despite way more option...

I'm trying to conceptualize the nature of having actually separated Lua states, which I assume Factorio uses, instead of coroutines or environments or whatever. (I know of those concepts but have not tried them myself) I assume that Factorio keeps one internal, C/C++ side Lua registry, or at least ...

Hello! I consider Factorio having one of the best modding interfaces / APIs ever... so I'd like to learn about that aspect a bit to perhaps offer something like that in a project I might make one day. Thus, I am curious...how is the issue of having event handling and all that solved for separate st...

Yeah, that's already been covered and a couple other posts since. :D I've been reading the thread totally exhausted last night after helping friends for about 10 hrs moving stuff to their new apartment. Just managed to start writing my reply, but fell asleep halfway through and only sent it off thi...

2B: As in real life, loose materials are those like coal, iron ore, gears, screws... small components and other items that you want a LOT of. Another term would be "bulk materials". Larger items like inserters, conveyor belt segments, entire locomotives and train cars, assemblers, etceter...
