Duplicate of https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=72130 (in spirit). One issue with this is how to convey to the player what the limits are in a given module. The distinction of what recipes accept what module effects is already confusing. Leave it to the mod author. That's what base...

Barely more than one LuaObject in my original request, if you count tags. And if you go with the registration route, you could get away with no LuaObjects at all, since a unique registration number will be uniquely identifiable. (and, TBH, bad GUI performance is hardly an argument to me when they ha...

LuaGameScript.get_entity_by_tag - what does it do?
-> Added to the docs in 1.1.102, thanks Honktown for the description/pointer to discord.

If I have to go through all children in Lua, that doesn't make any difference. Regarding the number of events, deletion is a one-time thing, you don't delete and recreate GUIs every tick. And the game already has such events, which it doesn't bother to batch. Compare on_built and placing a big bluep...

A new event that is called when a LuaGuiElement is destroyed. It would be great if it was raised before the element is gone, so that you could get the element itself. But if not, the element's common identifying properties should be passed: name, index, player index, tags and parent element. The pur...

You may need to re-think your idea because even if that would work item count wise; the memory usage to have them all defined would be non-viable.

This request is the rethinking.

To reproduce: 1. Place a vanilla boiler with some infinite pipes going to and from it. Provide it with fuel. Ensure it functions. Save and close the game. 2. Change max_temperature of water to 150. This has to be the boiler's input fluid. 3. Load the game and open the above save. Adjust the temperat...

It's only a few slots long. Shouldn't be too costly. Alternatively, since you don't care about historical accuracy, you can poll it in on_research_finished or on_research_started. Or not at all, and just compress the actual researched techs into the queue when you reproduce the run. Actually, I have...

You should be able to change the thread title by editing the original post.

Pretty awful workaround, but you can poll force.research_queue every tick. And what will you do if a research is unqueued? That would also need an event, or there can be a on_research_queue_changed event to cover both cases. In fact, on_research_queue_changed will cover even such cases as mods setti...

Same for all science packs and ammo. Science packs are of type "tool" so presumably this debug entry wasn't added for that type.

Which is really bizarre, considering that it is in the item tooltip when you look at the recipe.

Mod dependency resolution is pretty bad.

LuaEntityPrototype.items_to_place_this/LuaTilePrototype.items_to_place_this says it's an array of SimpleItemStack. Is it supposed to be ItemStackDefinition or can the stacks be strings and when?

-> It's indeed ItemStackDefinition, thanks. Fixed for 1.1.79.

If someone confirms this is a bug, I'll be willing to create a bug report. FWIW, server_save works with a non-dedicated server. It also works in a single-player multiplayer game. I would still call it a bug. Though I recall there was some case where the game determines weirdly what counts as multip...

I am surprised server_save doesn't work in singleplayer, seeing as the player is the server. I would have reported this bit as a bug.

Just checked 1.1.78. It has not been fixed.

Flip blueprint horizontal -> [
Flip blueprint vertical -> ]
Toggle "Alt-mode" -> Not set
Next clipboard -> Shift + Mouse wheel down
Previous clipboard -> Shift + Mouse wheel up

Here you go. Incidentally, the bug confirmed in 1.1.77.

It's not obvious that something is in cursor so it can be cleared. So I think it deserves a mention.
