Basically where the turrets, when not actively engaging a target, periodically re-aim in a random direction, primarily as an indicator of "combat readiness". If you are familiar with Space Engineers, this is basically the idle behavior of their turrets (though in one plane rather than two-...

I would like to see this as well.

This is the first time I have seen one of my mods involved in a bug report.

Loaded 5 or 6 times, taking those 45 seconds to build walls or try to slightly divert the biters. Still crashed 2-3 seconds after those turrets began shooting. Then I ran directly into the biter swarm before they got into shooting range, and dragged them to another turret wall. Did not crash. Triie...

Perhaps a tile changed names, and before the old one is cleared the new one is declared?

So I just updated to 0.16.17 and I can no longer load my map:/ wasn't that long into it so not the end of the world... can start up new map no problem. So don't know what is up.

I am getting this too; I thought it was my new shield dome code.

Attached is a save. The mods are not likely required for the crash, if the above posts are correct.

I spent a good deal of the past week digging through the noise expression system, and I believe I understand it and know how to use it, but right now everything worth doing is impossible because the system is effectively hardcoded. In particular, the noise-expression's "expression" objects...

From what I can tell, there is no way to access this; you can get the LuaFlowStatistics, but that only seems to have data about total energy transfer since...forever(?), not anything useful like current generation by category or satisfaction fraction.

Because of these and other problems, I ended up scrapping the entire entity, at least for now.

ideally without other reactor behaviors like adjacency bonuses. Or the ability to configure those bonuses, if they exist, how strong they are, etc. neighbour_bonus = 1, --set to 0 to turn off? @bob: The energy interface is actually quite useful (though got less useful do to some performance related...

Not related to the current topic: From the other perspective, we only have 1 entity that generates heat (reactor, which uses a burner fuel source, meaning it can only burn items to make heat), and 2 entities to make power (solar panels with their special logic, and generators that only consume flui...

The easiest way is the same as would be accomplished with the range-boost: An entity blacklist, since it is not a "real" turret anyways. What is its internal name?

The internal name is "AlienControlStation_Area"

Done.

@TheSAGuy Is there a reason I was never contacted about the terraformer/turret range boost conflict by you or anyone else? Or why you apparently opted to include a "these mods are incompatible" warning, then later change the terraformer to resolve that issue, but not remove the warning, w...

They're probably derived similar to fluid boxes (see this post ). I find those error messages pretty frustrating myself though. I suspected this, as I have run into that error myself, back when designing the geothermal wells. However, among the values I tried were ones that should meet that criteri...

I am trying to make an entity of type inserter which has a size of 3x6, and no matter what I do, I cannot get the game to load, as it always halts with an "invalid insert vector, not a safe distance from the tile edge" error. No matter what positions I pick, I get this error. I have tried ...

Count my vote in favor of this.

What's the utility of such an event? How about a cached entity in the global table which is to be connected to a vanilla/other-mod entity to read/control, but wants to allow the player to specify connection? Right now the only alternative is to cache the unconnected entity in a "pending" ...

Fired when an entity is connected to another - either by the player or mod script, ideally with a way to know which - with circuit wire. Would contain a table of both entities, a circuit network object, a wire color, and a player (if applicable), or some way to derive these values.
