[Request] Please add “turn_range” support to Artillery Guns

Could you please allow the settings "turn_range" & "turret_base_has_direction" to be applied to the "Artillery Gun".

I tried to create a gun with a narrow field of fire, but the values were not acted on and the gun was still able to turn in a full 360 degree circle.

Re: Radar module compatible with Vehicle Grid mod

This is not what your after, but achieves the same goal

'Big Brother' appears to attach an micro radar to entities (cars / trains / power poles) as research is progressed.

For "deadlock-experimental" to work its expecting a pre-requisite that copper/iron/steel plates have already been defined in a stacked format with the base "deadlock-beltboxes-loaders" mod. With IR you dont smelt ore into plates, instead you smelt ores into ingots. So I wouldnt have that mod ...

Re: convert map exchange string to map generator settings

I am not near my home PC, but I believe these commands would generate the data

/c game.write_file("map-settings.json", serpent.block(game.map_settings))
/c game.write_file("map-gen-settings.json", serpent.block(player.surface.map_gen_settings))

This will output to the "script-output" folder.

Re: How to use Rich text properly

How about an "emoji" button on the text tool bar that opens up a GUI which displays all the current icons. Pick an icon and it gets dropped into the text.

- remove 'indestructible' tag from all spawners (in editor and/or by LUA command for a game already in progress).


Not sexy code .. but this should allow all non-destructible entities to now be destructible :)

Re: pumps seem useless for long distance pipes?

Guess there are a few options to get around pipe pressure issue.
- Rather than use 1000 pipes use 500 pumps, you only use 1x pipe to turn a corner so you should be able to maintain a 6000 u/sec flow.
- As previously suggested use a small train track to shuttle back and forwards oil in a tanker ...

Sorry my work proxies block "pastebin" ... I wonder if they have something in their local hosts file re-directing "auth.factorio.com" at another location.

Rather than fully disable your firewall this site helps you open up the required hole in your firewall (router) to allow people to connect to your server.

Factorio usually runs on UDP / 34197
