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 ...

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 ...

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 ?

I have posted in the bug section too.

I have some mods of my own, when I goto setting -> mod settings I get a blank screen saying there are no setting to change, when I know my own mod has several startup settings that can be altered.

After upgrading to 0.18.20 I found that GUI displaying Mod Settings is all blank.

I know "Deadlock Stacked Recipes" (my mod) has startup setting that should be displayed

Got a Bug ..

Under Settings -> Mod settings

All the options have gone

Looks like we have a rounding error with the "magazine" size getting set to 0 is my guess.

I know currently you are changing the ratios of input and output for recipes, have you thought about randomizing the ingredients to make a recipe ?


We tried https://mods.factorio.com/mod/randotorio but it doesnt scale so well, EG for one seed it needed 1.7k stone to make a single green science ...

Hi ya .. can you please double check the speed you are setting the belt boxes too.

In your code you have belt_speed x 18 in deadlock loaders its multiplied by 32

Hi .. can you please take a look at your "deadlocks_loaders_update.lua" code.

With 0.18 deadlock loaders moved away from data.raw["loader"] to data.raw["loader-1x1"]



While your there can you also add support for the loaders that get created by the mod "https://mods.factorio.com/mod/deadlock ...

PLD bug it wont fire .. The beam requires more energy than the PLD provides ... probably need a check here to switch the pair of values around.

pld.attack_parameters.ammo_type.energy_consumption = 299kJ
pld.energy_source.buffer_capacity = 172kJ

Somthing else to check is the robot's cargo wagon size ..

In our current seed, this has given the bots a starting cargo size of 0. However this does not stop them from working, instead they are able to carry a whole stack at a time.

Thanks .. turrets are fixed


Got this error on using a different seed.

Another point for "laser_turret" and "PLD" .. the

attack_parameters.ammo_type.action.action_delivery.max_length
needs to match the
attack_parameters.range

Otherwise the lasers will shoot but do no damage until both match

Doing a compare of the data.raw from the save and a vanilla 0.18 save I see for "gun-turret" the properties were set to 0

attacking_speed
folding_speed
preparing_speed
rotation_speed
vehicle_impact_sound

"laser-turret" also had similar properties set to 0
folding_speed
preparing_speed ...
