When a relative GUI is added, the main GUI recenters, but it does not go back when the relative GUI is destroyed (or hidden). See video: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/306402592265732098/837795318610788383/relative_gui_demo.mp4 Related, if the relative GUI size is extended downwards, the GUI...

Using flib.gui-beta, I can just do

Already exists: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaGuiElement.html#LuaGuiElement.entity You can write the entity to follow after creating the element Oh wow, thanks! I see for 'entity-preview' it says "The entity has to be set after the GUI element is created.", so maybe there's a tec...

+1. Also for type = "minimap", which is how base game train GUI works.

Launching 1000 space science pack returns 100 fish due to stack size limitations. If you can design a contraption to launch only 100 space science packs and return 100 fish, scale it up and see how many Fish per Minute one can do. Unfortunately it is impossible to automatically insert more than 12 ...

I'm running into this whilst making a mod and it is a bit strange and annoying. Even when the entity is not mineable (set through prototype or control), if you try to right click on it while at a distance it says "Cannot reach" even though it wouldn't do anything if you were close to it. E...

I'd appreciate some explanation of HighlightBoxEntity please. https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/HighlightBoxEntity Overall, when would you use this? The following are the questions that I had as I read through it and tried it out, but from experimenting it seems that it is only used to display the...

From my testing, it seems to work how you want it when you use `defines.events.on_selected_entity_changed` in a mod. Using it in the command input doesn't seem to do anything (maybe I'm doing this bit wrong?). I can reproduce your issues when I use `on_tick` though.

Entities have a 'logistic_network' property that returns a LuaLogisticNetwork for whatever network they're in. For player characters and spidertrons (and probably other vehicles with an equipment grid with roboports, though I only verified player characters and spidertrons) that's their personal ne...

PS: 'Moralize' doesn't mean what you think it does: it refers to 'morals' (ie right/wrong), it isn't the opposite of 'Demoralize' (which would be something like 'encourage').

Any large mod with more than a few thousand downloads is likely to be updated to a new factorio version very quickly, or if it isn't but it has a permissive licence (like MIT or GPL), then someone else will probably do it instead. Any of the big packs like Bobs, Angels, Py, Space Exploration, Krasto...

Entity#remove_decoratives what does "automatic" mean? Presumably it depends on the subentity? I'm particularly interested in type "car". -> Correct, documented. Cars aren't considered buildings (= no removal).

Currently trains with wagons that have equipment grids are given the wait condition "Robots inactive". I'm creating some spidertron wait conditions and I'd like to be able to use whatever is behind this, but I can't find it exposed anywhere. I don't know if it should be in LuaPlayer, LuaCo...

To reproduce: - Go to the load game window - Search "autosave" - Delete one of the autosaves - Click on the search text entry - Delete the search text entry contents - Observe that the save list still only shows autosaves (BUG) - Delete another save - Observe that the list has now correctl...

Ok, how about this?

I'd really like to be able to create a `type = container` prototype that allows filters, like character and vehicle inventories. An optional prototype property in https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Container perhaps? For performance reasons this would presumably have to be a separate prototype e.g....
