Currently Spidertrons cannot have their orientation/direction set and their `supports_direction` is false. Whilst this make sense (spidertrons are complex entities!), it means that when you create them with `surface.create_entity` they are always in exactly the same position and orientation. I'd lik...

It was removed in 1.1. If you need it back then you can either extrapolate from the "All time" space science produced in the production tab or install this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/rocket-silo-stats (which looks much better than the old button anyway).

In 1.1 there are up to 2 buttons in the bottom left for opening inventories: one for the player's inventory and one for whichever vehicle you are driving in. You can, of course, press E to get to your own inventory but I'd like to propose the hotkey Shift + E to open the inventory for the vehicle. I...

And I'm guessing the reasoning behind not improving the crafting queue is because the intention is to encourage players to automate crafting and not handcraft everything.

Have you tried right click -> open. It somewhat bypasses security checks like this over double click.

I seem to remember running into the exact same issue and being confused as to whether the server was actually working or not. (I thought that my friend had sat up a 1.1.5 server but it was actually on 1.0).

This is a great suggestion. If you don't mind, I'd quite like to add it to my Spidertron Waypoints mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SpidertronWaypoints), if I find it possible to implement. You're welcome. Thanks very much. I got there eventually and it is now in Spidertron Enhancements: https://...

The "fix" might be to just remove writing from the mod API. Please don't do that! I don't actually need to access the hand inside of blueprint books, it just came up because my mod was running a piece of code when it wasn't supposed to and I thought that it should be reported. Just a simp...

player.hand_location returns inventory :: defines.inventory slot :: uint If you access hand_location whilst holding a blueprint in the 3rd slot of a blueprint book in the players inventory then it will have inventory = 1, slot = 3. If you then write that same information back to player.hand_location...

- Create a spidertron with a colour, or connect a spidertron remote, or create a blueprint - Place in container - Hover over container - Observe icons in container tooltip have the default colour/icon This was fixed for items on the ground in 1.1 (https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-362), so maybe th...

And for anyone wondering, this mod seems to do what is been requested: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/CursorEnhancements

That's actually a feature that I wrote for my Spidertron Engineer mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SpidertronEngineer). Now that you've mentioned it here, I think that I might release that little bit as a standalone mod, without all the 'transform-the-player-into-a-spidertron' extra that the orig...

I'm also running into this issue on macOS with steam cloud sync blueprint library sync on.

I can't replicate this bug in single player.

Thanks very much!

Currently there is only LuaEntity.autopilot_destination which returns a single position. This should really be a list of positions, or a separate autopilot_waypoints which returns a list of positions, one for each waypoint.

Agreed. The acid moves with the spidertron, but it looks comically out of place, as if it is floating underneath it.

I personally would disagree with "prohibitively slow". Generally yes iterating all entities of a type on the surface is not the best idea, but think about the scale of the problem here. Iterating every transport belt would be prohibitively slow, as there are frequently thousands of those....

Thanks for the info. I went ahead and implemented my workaround, which should work reasonably well. If you want to see it, it is this commit: https://github.com/tburrows13/Spidertro ... 8346103152
