But I'm sure there could be more use cases for this, like custom scenarios for example.


Like hiding all but the basic recipes from player crafting.
Then creating research to allow the player to gradually unlock more advanced recipes for hand crafting.

I don't think hidden_from_player ...

Vehicle Grid adds a grid to all vehicles, Cars, tanks, Trains, etc so you can use equipment in them.

Personally, I use it to put lasers on my trains as anti-bug protection, but you can also put a roboport in there and it will use anything in that vehicles inventory.
For trains put the roboport on ...

then i must look for an other way.

If you tell us what your trying to achieve. Someone may already have code to do it they are willing to share

If i recall, ConsoleOutput() sends the text to the lua console used to start the game. If you start the game normally it goes nowhere.

Use game.print("fast transfer event") instead to print to the in-game chat.

Changing the dependencies line in info.json to read:

"dependencies": ["base", "? sixbit_lamps"],

Should work.

Updated to 0.0.2:


Great! I tested new version, it seems everything works fine.
There's only one strange phenomenon which becomes visible when zooming out an array of LEDs: some cells looks diferent, like semitransparent:


I also noticed it doesn't work with Six Bit Lamps mod color signals ...

script.on_event(defines.events.on_gui_closed, function(event)
if not event.entity then return end
local module_slots = event.entity.prototype.module_inventory_size
if not module_slots or module_slots == 0 then return end

game.print("modules were potentially edited")
end)

I don't think ...

I'm trying to find a way to detect when a player adds, removes, or changes the modules in a drill or assembling machine.

Is there an event that triggers for this? or a way to work around to check modules after gui closed?

When i incrase the speed with modules, just the smelting faster, but mining its same speed. is it possible work both with modules? Or only smelting? Or possible double modules (1 for mining 1 for smelting)?
Thank you!


That is a limitation of how it works. There is actually a mining drill ...

I'll add in the translations, and the stack filter inserter to the recipe but I don't see any way to justify needing a furnace mining drill to make it.

A furnace mining drill is an electric drill, furnace and inserter. Changing to a filter inserter makes sense as it only wants iron so we can argue ...

It is done ... I think ...
At least no-one in this house can break it. It is now on the mod portal.
Double Furnace Mining Drill

If I missed something please tell me.

So....

Taking a little more time than expected but I think I might be getting close.

Going to have a new entity so the double furnace and Furnace Mining drill are still usable separately.
The new entity will be locked behind a new research with both the Double Furnace and Furnace Mining Drill ...

Yea, discovered that. Though it has a setting that only allows it to be placed on oil

It's defined due resource_categories only:
data.raw["mining-drill"].pumpjack.resource_categories[1] = "basic-fluid"

So if you make just the
for i, m_drill in pairs (data.raw["mining-drill"]) do
table ...

Something that annoys me when I use the wiki: I'm always missing a link back to the 'Prototype definitions'-overview-site. Maybe that's just me having a weird workflow, but I'm often visiting this site when I'm trying to find infos about another prototype.


I hear that. I've taken to keeping the ...

I'm going to use an if statement to check for basic-solids and first. That will make it compatible with mods that add other drills to harvest non-vanilla resources

Note that the oil pumpjack is also a mining drill, we are need the exception here.

I was testing this last night. By moving iron ore to separate category it stops the furnace mining anything except the iron. Then it was just a matter of adding the new resource category to all drills so they can still mine it normally.

I fell asleep before i could test it fully though.

That will work BUT you would lose the ability to use that entity for it's normal use. I think he wants to be able to smelt to iron or steel by placing the appropriate machine. Also the furnace mining drill is used for copper and stone too

When i get home I'll look at creating a new entity to mine ...

It seems doable from what i recall of the mods. I run both but am at work so can't check the code right now. Pretty sure the double furnace simply uses a seperate crafting category with some power and speed adjustments for balance

I'm trying to increase the base richness of all ores. I want ores in the starting area and surrounding map to be 200M+ and then expand from there without increasing the actual size of the ore patches themselves.

The resources.lua files are extremely confusing.
