There was also discussed, a possibility of using a permission for it. Even with *every* permission disabled, map opening is still permitted.

https://lua-api.factorio.com/1.1.53/Concepts.html#SelectedPrototypeData SelectedPrototypeData could use some details table SelectedPrototypeData Fields base_type :: string E.g. "entity". derived_type :: string E.g. "tree". name :: string E.g. "tree-05". I have to guess...

[code]protected_from_tile_building[/code] is missing from the wiki

-> Added, together with the other changes from 1.1.51.

1) What'd you do? Accidentally put a too-large chunk-position into set_chunk_generated_status(). 2) What happened? 26.197 Error Chunk.cpp:728: Trying to make chunk at unreasonable position [31249, 999999] 3) Expected? Soft error. Reproduction: /c local player = game.player local surface = player.sur...

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Concepts.html#LuaPostEntityDiedEventFilter: Fields filter :: string The condition to filter on. One of "type" This looks incomplete -- perhaps somebody removed the rest of the sentence accidentally? That's the automation of the docs. If you look at the ...

A resolution of 1920x1080 and 125% UI Scale is enough to make the selection window at the bottom of the /editor pane very restricted, and pushes "Areas and positions" checkboxes off screen. With mods that add extra crafting categories, the selection window is almost guaranteed to be pushed...

Compared to the documentation, it appears the behavior of on_gui_closed may have changed without notice https://lua-api.factorio.com/1.1.50/events.html#on_gui_closed Emphasis: "This is only called if the player explicitly closed the GUI." and this does not seem to be the case. I'm playing...

Didn't there used to be an start-up error if fast-replaceable entities weren't the same size? (or close) I see the problem as it can replace the first entity, but collides with another. Even if it "could" replace the other one, it is an exception that *might* only work with pipes (a big as...

If a fluid has the base_color or flow_color property specified with indexed numbers e.g. { 151, 0, 147 }, the barrel is tinted with an alpha channel using a, which breaks the coloring. Specifically, in base/data-updates.lua, line 59: local side_tint = util.table.deepcopy(fluid.base_color) side_tint....

A projectile created can't have a `cause` applied which appears in the on_entity_damaged/died event, and while the projectile can have a force applied, it doesn't propagate force modifiers (specifically damage). In my case, the projectile is a script-created grenade. A player force can be applied, b...

What do you mean with "restart"? Explain exactly what you do please. Hit escape. Click "Restart". I forgot to mention what I thought should happen: The game restarts with the settings used at creation (New Game or otherwise). Doesn't make sense in my opinion, to restart with cur...

To reproduce: 1) start freeplay 2)run command (twice because of the command warning) : /c game.map_settings.enemy_evolution.time_factor = game.map_settings.enemy_evolution.time_factor * 2 game.print(game.map_settings.enemy_evolution.time_factor) 3) restart, run the command again. Each restart + comm...

In my experience mouse switches fail way too often . Mind humoring me and trying a site like https://www.onlinemictest.com/mouse-test/ ? Not the most accurate test, but if you see an unexpected change in the left click while left clicking then it would be the mouse. Moving the finger around the butt...

A note on get_fluid_count() and get_fluid_contents() where defined, that they do not capture temperature details, and fluidboxes should be used directly [in the cases where temperature is relevant]. Related to: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=221&t=100323 -> Appreciate the context, ...

So what is the solution or work around for this then? Any ideas? Should mods leave all hidden entities blueprintable and included in the blueprint and not have any proxy objects at all? There seems to be no way to convert placed entities into proxy objects and preserve their data when updating a bl...

A progressbar element cannot have the bar_width changed in control. This precludes scaling existing bars, or having many bars at different scale without creating prototypes for each.

It's not uncommon for a mod to use LuaEntity.get_fluid_contents() and inadvertently need to be patched later because of temperatures. I'd like to request temperature be returned as a second argument, or at least, indicate that temperatures may matter and the function "doesn't completely describ...

Hmm, I think you can just use a map of `[index] = index`, which would be performant enough and easy to maintain Thanks for the reply. With your hint, I tried with a numbered key, and with a string - both work (assumed you were offering a player index used twice). Edit: also I think I didn't realize...

Turns out I can't use force *and* players to restrict only to those players on a certain force... I still have to build the table anyway. I guess there's 2 API requests, players-as-dictionary and filterable by force (even only filtered by a single force would be enough - an optional me-and-us-vs-the...
