I've only heard about Bob's in regards to the 'logistic hell' and time it can take. I've never tried Bob's, Angel's, or Pyanodons but I hear people talk about them in the same vein.

Labs only show modifier, and not their base value or modified result. Everything else shows the other two, ya know? It could be called "Research Speed" or "Researching Speed" (the internal name).

Edit: concrete reasons: I can't compare base lab and other labs. There.

I played around a lot with temperatures while making my physics mod. My ultimate conclusion is that, as things are, the *only* real dependency for temperature is the "max temp" value of the consumer (most of the time energy, but there's also the case of using steam to make things, where c...

I was thinking about trying to make a mod with a number box, to [enter] how many [right click makes]. It could be anchored to the bottom part of the inventory, under where requests usually go. If someone else wants to do it, go ahead, I've got other stuff I'm thinking about first. Edits to make it a...

He can also do the same for Steam: provide the bank/pay information, etc. Factorio's one game, his steam account probably had a bunch more right? Steam Support is generally helpful and responsive. If his account wasn't hacked, it's a lot more likely he's an honest user trying to get an old account b...

I have excact same problem. Please let us give factorio an port and ip (dns). Other games let you set this up in the config. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=55454 hey, Damm even I am having a similar kind of issue, I have searched all over the internet and even have posted on n...

+ performance is much better than using modulo or some other form of calculation on the entire array to find the current pointer With modulo, you can modulo by the update rate to find the 'bucket' that you want to update, instead of checking the modulo for each key value: local on_tick = function(e...

Semi-related, how is player gun information stored? I went looking for that and it's not in player, and character information redirects me to entities, which I don't see a weapon-inventory for (I can check the prototypes - not for the character). @nosports NOT THE BEEEEEEEEEES (it can be a script ev...

However, artillery wagons and turrets have their weapon as a name https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=78012 Even if you could change or add guns, it wont necessarily behave how you think it will. Don't say something's impossible when someone's already doing it. For the third and fi...

I forgot to add, I don't necessarily even desire an entity be able to switch to another weaponry (as in it doesn't need a variable/offset/address for which weapon it's currently using). On the actual side of using this idea, someone and I were talking about using different ammunition for a targeting...

Anything which can have a weapon should be able to use guns = {}. Let anything use guns = {} attribute Which one do you want? Anything, or only things with weapons? If the latter, what is a weapon? Your small biter example suggests that attack parameters are weapons, would that be the correct gener...

Incorrect, the target finder is owned and operated by the hosting entity, and it applies properties to the target finder based on what the weapon gives it. Even if your AI had 100 weapons, it would still only use one target finder. No. There is a single function which determines whether we can atta...

Or in other words, here's an NPC/AI entity that has a built-in target finder and navigation system. No, the targeting system is owned by the weapon and projectile . It is why the weapon has a range, and although that projectile didn't have it, the projectiles can have what they target: anti-ground,...

I don't really understand what you are suggesting, so i hope this is on the right track. You're making an assumption here that, because .guns appears to you to be a self contained program (which it isn't), that .guns should be put on anything. First - you haven't defined the parameters here very we...

My preferred way to spread entity iteration over multiple ticks would be to use a global associative array and use next. function OnTick(event) if global.Entity_Index and not global.MyEntities[global.Entity_Index] then -- the index is no longer valid, probably because the associated entity was remo...

But you usually don't have human operators sitting in Factorio turrets. :-) Funny you say that, I was playing with some data.raw and tried to convert a turret into a stationary vehicle with multiple guns. The results were about as good as you would expect. In most games, you just have to deal with ...

Got bored and tried it. When outside the vehicle, by doing /c game.players[1].force = game.forces[2] the vehicle starts attacking me and kills me. I was trying to enter it but I cannot enter 'enemy' vehicles. HOWEVER. When I was in the vehicle, and did the same thing, the tank killed itself, explode...

I was messing with a problem someone else and I were privately talking about - that a turret only takes one ammo category. It got me thinking, why does anything need an attack_parameters with specific attack behavior at all? I understand for legacy reasons. Vehicle logic already exists for multiple ...

Whoops. Thought I was in the technical help section. Sorry for a staff member that might get pissy with me. My best guess is equipmentgrid.cpp either itself didn't consider the entity may not exist (not sure if the dead player still exists) or that since Schall's Gun Pod doesn't do a valid() before ...

Guessing, the friend/ceasefire of the entity aren't changed when the player's force is updated (which makes sense). What happens if you're out of a vehicle? (presumably it attacks you, but not itself?) A possible crash is because the player might be in a weird limbo - it exists in the vehicle, but i...
