Understood, thanks for clarifying!

Most likely the issue is that second part: mod migration.lua files were never intended to run in simulations. To clarify: Do you mean that it was not intended for the simulation script to call mod migration.lua files, and the simulation script needs to be fixed by you to not call them anymore? Or d...

Small update: PI-C was investigating another tutorial migration crash and discovered that the tutorial scenario script calls the migration scripts within the Lua environment of the scenario itself, not within mod sandboxes. This is the root cause for why relative path resolutions are affected, but i...

Yes, that's right: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_player_setup_blueprint mapping :: LuaLazyLoadedValue(dictionary[uint → LuaEntity]) The blueprint entity index to source entity mapping. Note: if any mod changes the blueprint this will be incorrect. It's not clear from the docs, b...

You have found that the blueprint API only allows getting or setting the entire list of entities at once. That's how it's supposed to work. I do this all the time when I want to change the name of the entity in the blueprint. As long as you're modifying entity subtables and not adding/subtracting fr...

This is the purpose of the "localised_name" and "localised_description" properties in the data phase. See the docs for some examples, and there are a lot of topics on the forum with answers to common questions. https://wiki.factorio.com/PrototypeBase#localised_name

Trains can never path to avoid their own tails. This is simply a reason to avoid loop junctions. You could maybe try removing all the signals inside the junction, but that limits throughput. Trains don't lose their reservation at a station when the train limit decreases, only if the station becomes ...

What does the fuel tab look like? The fuel tab has 10 slots on a line along with a severely shrunken burning fuel bar. Cargo ship fuel tab.jpg That appears to be why the schedule tab horizontal alignment is off. Cargo ship schedule tab.jpg Thanks for looking at this. I would have expected the fuel ...

With Factorio 1.1.74 and Cargo Ships 0.1.18 or 0.1.19, the Ship Engine train schedule entries and conditions are horizontally misaligned. The weird thing is that it looks normal for the Boat Engine and every other locomotive. See: https://imgur.com/a/Saq7rCv I also tried Factorio 1.1.41 and Cargo Sh...

The relative BP grid is only ever compared to itself, right? You get the same functional result with any 4-wide relative grid, no matter where the entities in the BP are relative to the grid. Each successive placement will be 4 tiles over from the last. Rails will still only be placed on the 2x2 abs...

I received a report against Cargo Ships 0.1.19 for a broken require() inside a migration script when opening a tutorial scenario from within another game (with a fairly large mod set). Log file is attached. It appears to affect only tutorials that are loaded from the Tips and Tricks library. Loading...

Is there a proper way to make such frame closing with regular hotkeys (F or ESC)?

AFAIK, this is done by setting player.opened to your LuaGui root object when you make it visible, and/or responding to the events for on_gui_closed and on_gui_confirmed.

You're very welcome. Have a happy new year!

Check if there is a Blueprint-storage.bak or similar file in your Factorio folder. You can create backups of the file yourself as well for the future. Also check if you have any blueprint items saved in the vanilla game you were playing. In-world blueprint item's can't be modified outside that save ...

Thanks, that's what we need. Your schedule is incomplete--it stops after going up to orbit because the next stop is back to loading on nauvis and it can't get there. The train schedule should be Load -> elevator up -> Unload -> elevator down. When the train is on the ground, you have to add the stat...

The only way we can know what is broken is if you post screenshots of your tracks, train schedules, and space elevator GUI control panel.

I've fixed the drill so it won't delete the last item it is trying to output if mined before it happens (for the next release). Other changes can also be done but that is the root issue that I'm seeing.

Thank you for the quick response! I will wait to see how it behaves with that fix in place.

This suggestion, or something similar, would allow resolution of a years-old bug in Auto Deconstruct, so I didn't want to create a duplicate thread. I am following up on a thread from 2018 https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=63135 and report to the Auto Deconstruct mod author https:/...

One use would be for example the nuclear reactors. But also other processes/actions like a well-timed railway crossing, and fun stuff with coloured lamps. An alert may sound only every few minutes and so on. Therefore I'd say a delay might start with 100 ms and reach in 100 ms steps up to 10 minute...
