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

I can find the spidertron that a certain spidertron is following using LuaEntity.follow_target (https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaEntity.html#LuaEntity.follow_target). Would it be possible to get the reverse? For example LuaEntity.targets_following -> array of spidertrons. ----- Workarounds 1. ...

I guess that it would still be nice to have, but I have a fairly neat (and perfectly behaved as far I can tell) workaround here: https://github.com/tburrows13/SpidertronWaypoints/blob/aad2bae3f57804a24cdbd1112619dc6e455ce647/control.lua#L396-L407 (with the custom controls being defined here: https:/...

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...

Hoping for balancing increased spidertron movement speed or equipment grid size Nah, the spidertron speed buff I want to see is "Spidertron can now climb on and attach itself to a train wagon" That would be pretty cool. Go to train car and "enter" it to attach :D That's actually...

4. Use Honk that also includes the shortcut, as mentioned in this mod's description.

I would highly recommend to avoid using this operating system and reverting to previous one. https://www.google.com/search?q=apple+big+sur+spying+on+you Assuming that you are referring to the OS contacting Apple's servers when you open a program for the first time, that's been going on since Catali...

What's wrong with doing it in data stage? https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Character#build_distance Unless you just want to use a console command I am still very much a beginner so much of factorios mod development is still a mystery to me. I'm not sure what "would be wrong with doing in th...

[Koub] I'm moving this to "Modding interface requests", because I'm pretty sure reach won't be reduced in vanilla, but it makes sense to request for it for modding purpose - as it's already possible to increase reach, why not decrease it. This change is more significant that just changing...

If it happens again try updating the steelseries software. Is this a known issue? Does their software often cause this? I'm kinda really curious to know how you could look at the OP and think steelseries! Yes it’s a known issue with the steelseries api (that was implemented in 1.1): https://forums....

It is quite common in UI design to add another "select all" box at the bottom of a long list as well as at the top to save you from having to scroll up all the way. This would be nice to have for the mod lists ingame. Alternatively how about a sticky header row, including the "select ...

Do you know about the UI scale in the settings? I'm not sure that it increases icon sizes but it should help with everything else.

This mod may be of some use: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/QuickItemSearch

You can't bind multiple times to the same event (defines.events.on_research_finished). Put those all into one block. Secondly, you are mixing up control and data. The event hooks should go in control.lua and the recipe additions (anything that deals with data.raw) should go in data.lua. That's why y...

This should be fully possible to implement in 1.1 (albeit somewhat hacky) because you can now get the mouse position from CustomInput. From that you can check if the player is holding a spidertron remote and set the autopilot_target to that position (might be slightly more complex because you can't ...

Thanks for the info. It looks like it will be fixed in the next version of SDL then...
