If a tile is in a chunk that's not generated(?) get_tile returns an invalid tile:
1) start new game Expectation: The game should not return invalid objects. No tile (new change) or valid tile should be the only returns?

Could the "style" of LuaGuiElement.add{} have a little more explanation?
[code]
style
:: string?

Style of the child element.
[/code]
vs e.g.
[code]
style
:: string?

Name of a style prototype to apply to the new element.
[/code]

-> Sure thing, added for 1.1.70.

Getting some random errors on the wiki... First it started with page layouts not working or errors at the very top of the page Then I made an edit, it worked (checking after), but I got a page of these two errors: wiki error.png In the subsequent image, the top error is repeated many times, and the ...

math.random() could use a tiny bit more description. A uniqueness of Factorio's math.random seems to be that Factorio will handle math.random(double, double) when either double has a decimal component, by flooring (flooring to the next representable double integer, I guess?). Contrast with the 5.2 ...

(Also boiler.energy_consumption should be called boiler.power_consumption since it's in "W" = "J/s" and not "J".) Pedantically, it's accurate. Power is an abstract concept that can't be measured or represented as being a property in a single instant, but energy is. The...

I had confusion over on_pre_player_mined_item vs on_player_mined_entity: 1.1.68: [code]Called when the player finishes mining an entity, before the entity is removed from map.[/code] vs [code]Called after the results of an entity being mined are collected just before the entity is destroyed. After ...

get active entities count is missing a single n on given: -> Indeed, thanks, fixed for 1.1.70.

Expectation: unregistering multiple events at a time with local events = {defines.events.on_pre_player_mined_item, defines.events.on_robot_pre_mined} script.on_event(events, nil)] would remove event filters, and be the same as de-registering events separately. What happens: Unregistering multiple ev...

Under Luaplayer, enable_flashlight() and disable_flashlight() are listed, but do nothing. is_flashlight_enabled does translate from a character entity (and seems to return true always when there is no character e.g. editor). enable and disable flashlight work as expected on a character entity. https...

https://lua-api.factorio.com/1.1.67/LuaControl.html#LuaControl.disable_flashlight This doesn't work on a player, only an entity, and presumably only a character? It'd be worth documenting imo, but I'm not sure if it was supposed to work on players and it not working now is a bug. (Edit: it's listed...

boiler_input_not_output_0.0.1.zip --2e6 / (1e3 * 500) = (2/5)e1 = 4 units/s data.raw.boiler.boiler.target_temperature = 500 data.raw.boiler.boiler.energy_consumption = "2MW" data.raw.fluid["steam"].heat_capacity = "1KJ" data.raw.fluid["steam"].default_tempera...

It is a thing that get_tile takes a position, and is not labelled so. Good find. lol it is a half-nevermind: Note The input position params can also be a single tile position. The documentation type isn't multiple, like with script.on_event , but it's literally noted. Lacking the type in the docume...

A lot of the events are missing an explanation for when the `player_index` will be empty. As for some it relates to how a script raised the event and what options it passed in (which may not always be apparent). i.e. https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_marked_for_deconstruction on th...

(All testing in single-player, I use page-up / page-down to zoom) Zoom controls stop working when zoom reaches 1 at higher game speeds. While the autosave gui is open , the controls work again, allowing "freedom" from the stuck zoom, but then it will get stuck again if it becomes 1. Reprod...

P.s.: As for finally responding to the talk page, it took three weeks after reverting to provide the reason, to which I can say, yes, you are right. Only took three weeks and complaining on the forum.

I do however recall a pm exchange with you where I explained the edit, you did not reply further. What is the proper reply further to incorrect information? If you do not understand when you are wrong, what is the correct action to take? That is what this thread is about. I would like to state that...

This is the initial inventory that can trigger both errors:

dynamic-item-with-inventory_0.0.1.zip One line: data.raw["item-with-inventory"]["item-with-inventory"].inventory_size = "dynamic" Expectation: Not crash. Probably not valid in the prototype phase (inventory_size = "dynamic" is used by the blueprint book, but ...

So far, there have been two reverts to additions I have made: 1) Longer ago, I clarified on Types/Color that the alpha channel is increasing opacity , not transparency. That is the standard usage, and Factorio even gives examples in e.g. Types/Blendmode, where the normal blendmode requires the alpha...

Huh, ok. They're there for me, for all the screenshots without. Sorry if I interrupted someone in the middle of it. -> This was a caching issue, entity with owner of course also applies to the derived classes. The caching should be fixed with the update of the wiki software (we cleared the cache at...
