I was looking to query Spidertron from LUA during the control.lua phase and found there is no property .guns available. If I look at `game.entity_prototypes["tank"].guns` I can see all 3x weapons available in a tank. Under `game.entity_prototypes["spidertron"]` there is no proper...

Its possible to look at the speed of cars / tanks using the LuaEntity property .speed ... with Spiderton this value is not exposed.

There are no defines documented in the API site for Spidertron .. https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/def ... .inventory

Bilka said to log it here ... currently defines.inventory.car_trunk appears to be working.

Is there something missing in the mod portal's api? https://mods.factorio.com/api/mods?page_size=10&version=1.0 I looked at the wiki for the documentation on this API. https://wiki.factorio.com/Mod_portal_API The documentation only shows that "page / page_size / namelist" are fields t...

yup same server.

Placing 10-20 rails anywhere on the map was causing update to jump to 20+

I did a performance grab using Visual Studio attached is the Hot Path.

On the multi-player server when someone is laying rail tracks the update count goes into the 20+. When they stop update count drops back to 6-8.

I have found I need to exit and restart my steam client for it to detect an update for games sometimes.

I create deadlock_stacked_recipes while playing a mod pack that had speed-25 modules. We found it impossible to feed the amount of resources needed to feed an assembley machine surounded with 12 beacon. You also quickly hit the 1x craft per tick limit. As such someone suggested that we could use the...

I think this a difficult change to Factorio. There should be no difference in counting items. A compressed item with 20 iron ore should count as 20 iron ore and not as 1 compressed iron ore. This would solve all issues with the brocken statistics/inventory containsr. Recipes have fixed ingredients,...

Pressing 'Q' to get a ghost item in hand of an item you do not have in your inventory. Pressing 'Q' a second time will not clear the hand, the ghost item will still stay in hand. The only way I found to clear the hand was to press 'Q' on a building I had in my inventory. Or pressing a number mapped ...

Think we might have a bug .. Pressing 'Q' to get a ghost item in hand, then pressing 'Q' again will not clear the hand. The ghost item will still stay in hand.

How does the downgrade work when there are multiple tiers in the upgrade planner.

Would all the Blue belt downgrade to the original belt colour, or would they just goto Red ?

Question .. In the bottom video at the top of the screen there is a is a nuclear reactor. I can see it getting damaged by the atomic bomb .. shouldn't that have caused it to go into meltdown and explode too ? It was damaged, but not killed Thanks for the clarification, for some reason I had it in m...

In 0.18.31 .. LuaBootstrap::register_on_entity_destroyed() .. was added. I was hoping that a DEV would add .. register_on_entity_inventory_changed() .. as a means for modders that want to keep an eye on the inventory of a specific entity, instead of keep polling on Tick updates looking for changes. ...

• Improved performance by up to 2.5x when the game needs to iterate Lua tables on the C++ side.
• Improved save/load performance of mod script data.

Does any one have a reference posts on these two changes ?

This feature would be helpful in Space Exploration where people are on multiple different surfaces, or with Factorissimo / Warptorio. Ideally if this could be added to the richtext support so when people click a map position and it goes to the console with [gps=x,y,surface]. The surface variable wou...

I wonder how hard it would be to have the construction drones throw grenades to clear trees

Out of curiosity, what is the use case for "hiding" mod settings ?
