Re: New to Modding, what is allowed?
You can copy and alter mods as much as you like, as long as you don't share those copies/alterations with anyone else. If you do want to distribute them, then you have to check the licences of the mods that you copied.

Re: Spidertron instantaneous acceleration/deceleration
Not sure how feasible this would be - spidertrons do wacky stuff at high speeds (viewtopic.php?p=569165#p569165).

Re: [MOD 1.1] Need help testing unofficial Creative Mod update
What's the functional differences between this and Editor Extensions? Creative Mod(e) has its own independent interface, tools, and even has its own section in the player's build menu. Like this? ;) https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raiguard/EditorExtensions/master/screenshots/testing-tools.png

Re: [boskid][1.1.76] Any chances recovering this save?
You don't need a mod for this. Simple backup software can do this. There are four autosave files? Why do I need to know that? I want to load the last good gamesave and nothing more. The autosaves aren't just for corrupt saves. If I make a mistake in game and don't realise for 10 minutes, I might ch...

Pretty sure that register_on_entity_destroyed + on_entity_destroyed is the way to go here.

Re: Which waterfill to match lake color?
If you just want to be able to remove landfill, try https://mods.factorio.com/mod/simple_landfill_mining. It will restore the water tile to exactly what it was before, but only if you'd placed the landfill after installing the mod (since otherwise, the game had deleted the information).

Re: Documentation Improvement Requests
https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Concepts.html#LuaSectorScannedEventFilter makes no sense. Presumably it allows me to filter the name of the radar that did the scan, but most of the wording and listed things seem completely irrelevant. -> Yup you're right. Unfortunately, the internal system to do...

Re: Version mismatch
Not sure about the 0 vs 00 thing, but you should have just gone to 4.1.10 - software versions are not decimal numbers, they are 3 separate integers separated by dots. 4.1.9 -> 4.1.10 is completely standard, and is how factorio itself does it (1.1.9 -> 1.1.10).

Re: Get BurntResult on Vehicle and BurnerGenerator while mined interrupting a consumption process
I finally found the time to do this as a mod . It works perfectly for on_player_mined_entity and on_robot_mined_entity. However for script_raised_destroy it's not so clear what to do. I have decided to spill the item on the ground. I've added a related modding request at https://forums.factorio.com...

Re: [1.1.76] Memory leak when iterating UTF-8 character set
I'm able to get width by putting text into a `.gui.screen` label, call `.force_auto_center()`, wait a tick, get `.location.x` on the frame, then do some math. Since GUI elements are specifically per player, I'd assume that avoids the desync issue. The desync problem is that now you have access to a...

has_belt_immunity for spidertrons/spider-legs
Belt interactions for characters, units, and cars can be disabled on the prototype using `has_belt_immunity` but not spidertrons (or spider legs...). This would be quite useful, see https://mods.factorio.com/mod/lex-aircr ... ec7600e31c.

Re: Mac M1 Escape key does not work!
Why even make a version for Mac if something as basic as Esc does not work? I mean yes, there may be workarounds that suffice after experimentation but then what is the purpose of making the game specifically for Mac? I'd almost rather use a virtual machine with Windows but then that would have onl...

[1.1.76] Crash with check_buildability = true in create-entity trigger
To reproduce, load the attached mod (and enable its dependencies), and start a new game. Commenting out `check_buildability = true` in prototypes/lava-pool.lua prevents the crash from occurring.

Re: A spider mod. The equipment is immediately inserted into the grid.
It sounds like might be confusing data and control stages. Your first bit of code is data stage, and your second goes in control. Read https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Data-Lifecycle.html if you are unsure. If that wasn't your problem, then this probably was: newly created items don't get a grid ...

Re: Scripting camera position.
Moving the camera position is basically impossible. Cutscenes is one option, maybe there's some other hacky solution I hadn't considered... A larger problem is that you can't read the player's cursor position. Or at least, you can, but only in response to a CustomInput (i.e. when the player clicks o...

Re: New Event: on_entity_teleported, script_raised_teleported
+1
Picker dollies and Space Exploration both use teleportation and are both very common. It would be nice not to have to rely on implementing custom events, etc.
