I really recommend you introduce more intuition in api. This detail is annoying with nothing good in return.

Thanks for the report however that's just how it works.

To be honest, I didn't expect this to be intentional. I'll say it's a bug in my tutorial. But it does work well except for this.

rendering.draw_sprite{..., time_to_live = 2} This works.
rendering.draw_sprite{..., time_to_live = 1} This doesn't.

The SpritePath for custom sprites is "name" not "sprite.name".

Oh, my,,,, emmm. Yeah, it works. Thanks.

But to the Factorio staff, why not allow "sprite.name" as well?

I have no idea whether you know this detail. In order to display a custom sprite in game, there seems a lot of methods which would work. According to your docs, function rendering.draw_sprite needs a parameter named sprite . It's type is SpritePath. SpritePath accepts 2 forms, first is "type.na...

Thank you. I'll look into it tomorrow.
By the way, I planned to write a Factorio tool kit. Something like get_random_point("nauvis"). And already a branch of simple prototypes like projectile prototype without graphics. Or assemblers which don't consume power.
Any idea?

for _,rock in pairs(data.raw['simple-entity']) do rock.autoplace = nil end Should remove all rocks, including those added by other mods, but when other mods are involved just be careful they don't actually use simple-entity with autoplace for stuff other than rocks. Yeah, this is the reason I prefe...

The code looks like it's for stone-ore, but what you're saying sounds like you're talking about those decorative stone-rock entities. My code for now is something like --Removing water if event.x>-5 and event.x<5 and (-5<y<) then surface.get_tile(...).name == "water" or "deepwater&qu...

stone = { frequency = 1, richness = 1, size = 0} I still see stones around. Could you plz add fields to stop the auto map gen from generating water and stones.

You can’t move it yourself, only moderators can do that. You can however create a new topic in the appropriate subforum. „Modding help“ and „Modding interface requests“ are both in Modding Discussions

Oh,, I saw it. Thanks.

Hi. A short question. How to move this thread to modding interface require? I can't find that page..

It does, but has different behavior, than in sprite definitions. If you don't specify it, scale will be inferred based on icon_size. For icon_size = 64, the inferred scale would be 0.5 (because internally the icons are expected to be 32x32px), so setting scale = 0.5 does nothing different. Oh, inte...

icons = { { icon = "some file name", icon_size = 64, tint = {r = 0.2,g= 0.8,b=0.2,a=1} }, { icon ="some file name", icon_size = 64, scale = 0.5, ------------this 0.5 behave the same as 1, according to my eyesight. }, } , I have to assign it to 0.3 to actually make it a little bit...

But, in this way, it is possible to keep more ui as what we see in general cases? Overlapping guis are always difficult. Making the cam not full-screen but a bit smaller might work. I have to combine a character entity with a god mod controller in code. It's just that from my experience using LuaEn...

In the mean time you could also try using a full-screen camera gui element with the default controller. But, in this way, it is possible to keep more ui as what we see in general cases? My plan is that a god mod controller, a separated character entity, and they work together via lua. But I need on...

Thanks. If this feature finally added, it would probably help with the bullet-hell-game mode for the modders.

Thank you for helping. Here's the final result. local simple_grenade = { acceleration = 0.005, action = { { action_delivery = { target_effects = { { damage = { amount = 35, type = "explosion" }, type = "damage" }, }, type = "instant" }, radius = 6.5, type = "area&q...
