You are correct in your analysis, this is what I found yesterday in the few minutes I had. Not initializing the resource settings will not do the trick though, as further code relies on the index structures to exist. Instead, I will store the initial structures in global and not re-initialize them i...

Sorry about the loading bug, I should have tested this, but I was so glad to be finally done with some major changes. The fix is coming soon - I do not think it is a huge problem. Regarding the non-endless mode. The changes you make are perfectly sane. You will not create any bugs. You may want to i...

And... here is the latest release with support for bob's mod and also support for any other resource-adding mod (I hope). There will still probably be some bugs, so please report if you find any. Also in this release: code rewrite for performance improvements, use native math.random See first page f...

Thank you.
This is because testmod implements its own ores and that's what confuses TO so far.
That will change in the next release (I hope).

Yes... sorry about your wasted hours... I hope I'll try to find some time this weekend to implement support for other ores and resource regeneration. And I am continuously improving the chunk generation overhead, so hopefully, there will not be so many funny things in the future. Although if also ha...

In that case, you may want to go with the normal size. Patches will grow with distance and you will find lucrative (=big) ones that will make you use a train. Also (and this is intentional and indicated), the resource settings do not work as in vanilla. I believe they work the way you would guess fr...

First of all, thank you for the feedback. Some of the things you mention (load times, mod support, no resetting of resources at runtime) have been called out before and are on the list to be fixed for the next version. What I do not understand, however, is that you complain about resource patches th...

Hi and welcome to modding.

You are probably looking to use the events.on_built_entity event. Register it via the bootstrap (just like on_init, just use on_event): http://lua-api.factorio.com/0.12.30/Lua ... l#on_event

Hi,

I can make a switch in the config. Resources should still be somewhat balanced, but I will not design the balancing for the non-endless mode.

Thanks for the replies.
I actually looked through the wiki and other mods' code. Problem being with negative search that it is hard to know that something actually does not exist.

Anyway, good news that it is available in 0.13 and I will check for entities in the meantime.

Hi, what are possible ways to check for the presence of other mods (those that you may optionally depend on)? You can -of course- check for the presence of one of the entities the mod in question adds to the game. But that only works for entity-creating mods. Is there a generic interface? I thought ...

I'm having a problem with the resource generation, in that the map has apparently not been placing any ore deposits more than a certain distance away from the starting area. I suspect that the reason for this is related to the way that the mod selects locations to place deposits: I have the map gen...

I do not think that there is a tutorial specifically targeted at creating new ores. Differences that I have seen so far are mostly between using autoplace controls or not. In any case, you will have to define your ore as a new entity prototype. Autoplace controls are used by Factorio to place resour...

This does not answer your question, but here are some tips: Try to find a better subject, you have used the probably most generic one that exists Please provide more information: what have you tried so far, what exactly don't you understand, etc. at the moment, it looks like you are too lazy to look...

I like the split between "basic building capabilities" and the tremendously powerful "moving goods around" parts. However, I do agree with bobingabout that the techtree needs some tweaking here. Probably a basic research for robotics, after which you can go for the construction b...

Also because games need to abstract from real life to stay "fun". In real life you cannot deconstruct at no cost... just as an example.

If you are looking for more complex production chains, I suggest bob's mods.

Hi, I think this is a very neat design in that it seems quite useful (not yet sure about the setup effort and how viable it is in situations where you do not have room for the "production combinator"). Given that it is not overly complicated to understand/use, I believe that this design co...

concluding:
technically it is compatible, it will not crash your game
however, as Murlocking pointed out, depending on how much stuff you carrry, you may lose some

Try removing the mod "TrainOutpost". From what I'm seeing it's broken when it comes to multiplayer and determinism as it re-inits its own version of a random number generator every time you load the game. Loading the game happens for anyone connecting to another persons game so every peer...

I really like this mod and have played a while with it. I have noticed a serious delay after loading an existing map. Xterminator commented on this too in a video. As there are no error 'per se' I can not present any screen dumps or other data. How can we help fix this? See a few posts up. You will...
