I've got it too, but I'm sure they'll fix it soon.

Nothing serious, just little bit confusing.

I had installed version 0.6.2 win x64.

At factorio startup I was informed that new version 0.6.4 exists and might be updated, so I confirm update.

Download dialog shows downloading version 0.6.3 but after restart 0.6.4 has been installed.

That's ...

It makes all the sense. Even though we have a lot of access to the base code via the lua stuff, there's still a lot of compiled code in the game that modders can't see, but should be documented.


I wonder whether we shouldn't just open the source for the modding part of Factorio. There are ...

Hm. Does a "Docs" subboard make sense? I would like to discuss how the information in the wiki can be partitioned in more useful parts and have some ideas for that. It should also help to join some users for that job.

As example I put here the migration script (can be found in data/base/migrations/2013-03-11_Factorio_0..3.0.lua)


-- The lua interface changed in many ways, and new version of scripts needs to be loaded.
game.reloadscript()

if game.isdemo() then
return
end

local forcelist = game.forces
for ...

Hi!

I saved the game => opened saved game folder => opened control.lua => changed data (i put false instead of true)

initattackdata = function()
glob.attackdata = {
-- whether all attacks are enabled
enabled = false,
-- this script is allowed to change the attack values attackcount and ...

errr ok i have to delete it every time before i want to play? thats..unfortunate :D

Ähm what do you mean?!

If you modify any "prototype"-files the changes will not affect savegames. So e.g if you want to reduce the research costs, you can do that, but you have to start a new game to see the ...

Is there any plans for buttons/levers so we can have a bit more user interaction?

Looks good!

You can modify any entity's health. It works as an attribute.

for instance

game.player.character.health = game.player.character.health + 1

It is a good habit to check whether the character exists (game might be in the god mode for instance).

Thanks! :)

Out of curiosity, are any of the devs ...

I had no clue what to expect, I just thought that was how you're supposed to do it...

In v0.6??? Really? That's amazing.

Is there a way to know what item a player places when they place it?

(onbuiltentity won't work for what I need, unless someone knows how to convert an entity into the itemstack that it came from)

Is there an event for detecting change to the players health, and is there a way to modify the players health?

Sprints can be a researchable thing, like the armor.

In conjunction with the streets I made the suggestion to research roller skates ( https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1094&p=7729&hilit=roller+skates#p7729 ) but without streets, this makes of course no sense. :) Take roller ...

@zer0t3ch: What you mean is the border of the water. Indeed it is ground, but the graphics shows it as half ground half water (you can even build on it).

What MpPozor meant is, that we already have swallow and deep water. Go into map editor and you will see, that there are 2 types of water ...

That's useful. I've been storing all my functions there!

In theory it should work for some simple functions. However it will fail for things like closures and generated functions. You can actually check the file called script.dat in the save directory. It contains the serialized state of the ...

Disabling can't be done in game if the game crashes because of a mod.
Game crashing because of such is a bug. No matter the mods the game should not crash. Any incompatible mods should just automatically get disabled as you reach main menu. And for some major errors while playing may cause you to ...
