I see it is broken because of a "fix" from https://forums.factorio.com/82117. In this particular case, when the game view is updated, there is a check if there is anything with modal focus and in such case it clears entity selection for the purpose of selectedInfoRenderer. Personally I'd ...

Dev version of SWS attached (Note - not the same as the 1.2.4 from this bug report . You can see in the screenshot that the water tile and spidertron leg's share the "layer-13" collision mask, so the spidertron leg should not be able to land on the water, but it does. If I add water-tile o...

Some specific things from https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=553490#p553490 https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Projectile#direction_only an explanation that it overrides the end position of the projectile https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/AmmoType#target_type target_type="direction"...

I'm unsure why target_type = "direction" is ever actually useful (vs "position" and clamp_position=true). Ok, I see a difference now - clamp_position works when you fire to a point beyond the gun range, but if you fire at a point less than the gun range then "direction"...

Seems like a brute force method.
But if this allows me to maintain all the threads, downloads, publish date, etc. I'm ok with doing this process.
Shall I contact a specific dev or generally a dev?

Can't go wrong with support@factorio.com, but it will likely be seen here as well.

Just a minor incorrect prototype value: tank-cannon's stack_size is set to 5 despite never able to be held in the inventory. This adds a '1' onto its icon which really shouldn't be there. Setting stack_size=1 hides the '1'.

You can request a change from the devs and they'll rename the mod portal internal name whilst keeping discussions, download counts, etc. But there's nothing in game to support this so players using the old name won't be able to update to a newer version with the new name automatically. If you do do ...

My game crashed whilst I was testing some new changes I'd made to my mod Spidertron Weapon Switcher (but I haven't recently changed any code around the spidertron switching which is where the crash was). Attached is the save and the current development version of the mod. Also uses EditorExtensions,...

This looks slightly more complicated than just "use lower of the 2". Gun's AttackParameters define a range for a gun which is used to decide if you can shoot given target/position. It is however not used when you have an ammo item with ammo_type.target_type=="direction" as in th...

is it on the portal or is it private, i really wanna check it out(even if its not updated)

Looks like it is here: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/factory_backbone

(FYI for anyone else reading: this thread is from 2016!)

In-game the changelog is always oldest to newest, even the base game changelog, So this isn't a bug It is very unusual to have changelogs go from oldest to newest, so personally I'd prefer that the in-game changelog switches direction for both base game and mods. Almost all mods on the mod portal d...

Does someone happen to know how to control repair behavior? E.g. how to enable/disable repairability for a unit? Because i´d like to try my above suggestion in a mod.

Should be quite simple with https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/EntityP ... airable.22

This is observable in vanilla but I came across it because I am trying to make different tiers of spidertrons have differently ranged cannons. It appears that this is not possible because of the following. The tank cannon has range 25 (called "Range" on the cannon tooltip). The cannon shel...

Further to my earlier comments about monospace fonts, it would be useful if underscores had a gap between them to clearly show how many there are. Perhaps this is even more important for the wiki because of pages like https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Localisation.
