I have a few threads, particularly in modding api requests, which i can say are "solved" / "no longer a request". It was mentioned to me by a user that i could request a thread be moved, but I feel in err to use the normal report reasons. The posts do not break the rules... But i...

I found out I can! So I made a mod for it (Larger Shortcut Icons)! This request can be moved to a graveyard.

What I expected: to be able to set a localised_description or 'effect_description' on modifier effects. Particularly turret-attack. Why: I can dynamically make a new turret in data, but there is no way to add a correct localised_string for the description. They are fixed to {"modifier-descripti...

Expectation: 1) press a movement key while one does not have permission to walk 2) no movement 2) release movement key 3) permission is allowed again (group change or permission change within group) 4) press same movement key 5) start moving What happens: 4) press same movement key 5) no movement 5)...

(was requested to split from another post) Expected: heat pipe to rotate if loader direction rotates Following this post: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=105438 heat energy does work, but, apparently, the heat pipes don't rotate with the loader even though the direction changes after placing and rotating, c...

(was requested to split from another post) Expected: an existing loader to migrate from electric / heat source to fluid (I think it affected both) Following this post: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=105438 It doesn't: One of the original states: local es = { type = "electri...

changing a string-setting to a color-setting does not reset the color to default (there's the button for default'ing, thankfully)

Other issue: other values (string, number) are not an error. I'd expect them to be.

Some observations: The buffer fills twice for loader energy usage. Specified buffer_capacity is ignored and is set to a small value? (15kJ -ish per lane? something * energy_per_item per lane?) data-final-fixes: local es = { type = "electric", usage_priority = "primary-input", -- ...

1) An accumulator with emissions on the energy source can never emit pollution yet is targeted in a pollution cloud.
2) An accumulator which is indestructible and has emissions on the energy source is targeted for pollution attack, while an indestructible assembler isn't.

Description: A recipe can be crafted when it shows no number in the corner, an ingredient is red, and there is an alternative ingredient recipe available. Why is this a bug? : The behavior I've always seen and expect, is when there is a not-used-in-the-decomposition-cost recipe for an ingredient, th...

I believe there's some minor typo/grammar issues:

Called after a players cursorstack changed in some way.

vs

Called after a player's cursor stack changed in some way.

-> Yup, fixed for 1.1.79.

The documentation is wrong for connect_neighbour -> WireConnectionDefinition [quote]wire :: defines.wire_type Wire color, either defines.wire_type.red or defines.wire_type.green. [/quote] This is incorrect if the source entity is a power switch, and the target is to be connected by copper wire. Run...

A file can be required in two different stages, though of course it will not be the same as if the file required twice in the same stage. I use a 'constants' kind of file for that. It won't match if another mod changes that value of yours (in data), but that'd be something to resolve with them (depe...

Goal: Have a persistent LuaInventory held in code that is also compatible with an entity (at least writable to) Two methods, which currently don't work: Method 1) Create linked chest, use link_id as identification, and get_inventory(defines.inventory.chest) as LuaInventory. Destroy chest. Problem: L...

ForceIdentification force_index was recently added to allow a lightweight version of force.index everywhere modders only cared for the index... but without ForceIdentification allowing the index, this results in it not being useful in some cases. create_entity can't use it thing.force_index is a re...

Expectation: Rendering's color to behave like tint, and the default blendmode to be: normal . Here is code used to draw squares (more complicated than it needs to be, I know), and something must be selected: /c local player = game.player local surface = player.surface local selected = player.selecte...

Since it happened again, here's another stacktrace:

Context: Was playing Warptorio2 + Expansion, which includes the Explosive Biters mod. Biters stampede in massive blobs with nothing to attack (an already reported issue with accumulator emissions). 1) big ol' blob of small biters 2) one (or more) dies, explodes 3) explosive biter fission 4) stack ov...

... Good point, they do run in a special context, as is. They have access to game. An exception would have to be made for on_configuration_changed, too, as maybe the mod didn't use global on first release, but a later version they added it. Hence, "should". If they didn't need global unti...
