Remove "-placeabe" flags from entity definition.

I removed all the flags, it's still complaining about the lack of item.

These are not yet documented, so my guess would be similar to yours, but it is intuitively wrong to have that number zero. They are documented. I read it in the wiki, but I still don't understand what it means. All prototype alterations require game reboot to take place. (Or fiddling with migration...

Seems like with every release, the modding API gets bigger. I like!

It's a known problem that is being worked on. As a workaround you can download them directly from https://mods.factorio.com and put them in the mods folder manually. Known issue? Occasionally, mods.factorio.com goes down too. I get the same error as well, which makes me assume that the portal is ge...

Figured out how to resize the selection box, though it required me to restart factorio, which really slowed development down.

Now, I am wondering why it's not showing me 'not powered' errors.

You want horrendous gfx for the button too? I am terrible at art.

Progress Report for 0.1.4:

The accumulator for the accelerator are coming along nicely!

Still no cool gfx for the accelerators or the arrows, unfortunately. There's a severe shortage of artists.

Also, I have yet to see anybody using my mod in the wild.

Why is line_length = 0 ? Did you try 1 there? I don't understand what line_length, even after reading the documentation. Is it about loading how many images on a single width? Also, there's crop-cache.dat file in the game folder, I remember deleting that in the past to solve the problems, that seem...

You don't need an item for entity and under no condition you are forced to have a recipe for an item. Remove "-placeabe" flags from entity definition. You need to specify a custom collision_mask, as a field in entity prototype, for example an empty one, like the plane mods do. The "s...

I am trying to implement an accumulator charger entity to complement the tile I made for my mod. Basically, every tick, it check for the tile that the player is currently on, and based on the tile's name, it will do things. I am implementing an accumulator charger entity that goes with this. So ever...

The Lua API documentation is fine for what it does, but it's neither a tutorial nor a FAQ.

I would have never thought about custom table and such.

The only icons you should be having trouble with are the alien artifacts,ore processor and hydro plant,i think.

Yes, I am on a mac.

Anybody got weird glitchy icons?

Added --mod-directory: Specifies which mod directory to use

YESSSSS! I can remove the drudgery and error prone process of switching from development directory to actual mod directory I am using.

I must not understand what you are talking about.

I want the placement size to be one for certain tiles, not force the players to adjust the placement size.

Ranakastrasz wrote:Use the plus and minus hotkeys to alter the placement size.

I want to set the default for placement size.

I tried setting the condition size of placable tile to one, but it's still four, not one. Any idea?

Your standard library's logging tool saved my butt. Thank you.

I still haven't learned the rest of your library yet, but it will do for now.

0.1.3 released with bugfix for a crash when loading a savefile where previously the mod is not loaded.

Well, I will be using it for my megabase. In addition to the maglev floor I'm going to but blue belt on it for extra speed. (is that possible with this mod? Haven't had a chance to try) Blue belt should work. It's an exploit, but it's the kind that I don't know how to yet work around. When it's pos...
