it shouldn't
the game will handle it correctly, just check that there are no conflics after doing that in the mod !

[idea] - Playground (room) on a rock! You can add a room in the mountains. Put the trees into the Assembly machine - she's building a stairway to heaven. First you need to add the generation of big mountain as a simple ore. White or pale blue instead of the Black color around. or, instead of an ore...

Tried 0.0.3 from the main post, and the one you attached above, both have the same issue. They worked before I updated to 12.24, and now they don't. ok, this is weird, switching from 0.12.23 to 0.12.24 shouldn't cnahge a thing ... is it when the game is loading (splash screen) or inside the game, a...

which version of subsurface are you running ?

cursor_position is write only (since that won't change anything that would mess with replays/multiplayer) so while you can write it - there's not much use to do so. ok, but this does not answer my question, what kind of position de we need to give it ? ingame or screen ? having it set to ingame pos...

I know the has been "resolved", but has the cursor position been changed to be ingame position and not screen position ? (would seem useless if not, since there is no way to convert game position to screen position anymore)

couldn't you move the blueprints to the uplink inventory (if it doesn't have one (I havn't been able to try it out yet), just add it, since the uplink is based on the car type !

Why did you chose to use decorative instead of i.e. simple-entity? I am asking this because we are trying to decide if car should take impact damage or not. before I used the collision mask, the entity was a simple decorative item (whith some code behind to move pollution), when yuoki made new gfx ...

I event thgink you could reuse some of the code from my subsurface mod (the code of the borer, except instead of clearing the underground, it would clear trees and place concrete)

might be able to do this, just ... not now, still working on the subsurface mod (when I'm not playing that is )

interesting mod, I have some suggestions though : rather than manually checking the position of the player with the last position, why don't you check the player walking state ? if the tunnel will work event though there is no power, why use an assembling machine as the base prototype ? why not just...

maybe you should take a look at how they did it there : https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtop ... 6&p=118448

sure,

there yo go : steps to reproduce the bug :

• enter the car
• drive towards the air vent

when a vahicle colides with a decorative entity which have a collision mask the game crashes with nothing getting put in the log (Microsoft windows : Factorio stopped functionning ...) the entity prototype concerned by the bug : { type = "decorative", name = "air-vent", flags = {...

Or you could make them beacons with zero module slots or something. Or radars, even. Plenty of things have animation potential. Radars would have the advantage of being able to use on_sector_scanned to move the pollution up from underground to above ground. nah, I solved the problem, used a dummy r...

Well, I already can do what I need with an already created player, I just don't want to have to prevent a player from playing, which is why I want to create one

simple question, does anyone knows a way to create a new player from script ?
the reason is : I want an entity that I can control directly which can go in a vehicle and then use riding_state to control

Off the top of my head, could you have a rotatable construction placeholder entity that the player puts down, which is removed by a triggered event and replaced by the correctly-oriented working entity? You'd need to define multiple entites (one for each rotation, plus the placeholder) so it's a bi...

Supercheese wrote:As long as the prototype itself allows rotations, you should be able to do this. Of course, not every type does, so you'll have to find one that does.

No, it doesn't work, fluid tanks allow rotation, yet when rotating the collision box stays the same...

Hi, for my subsurface mod, I need to have an entity that is non squared and can be rotated, is there any way to have that ? I already tried to use the generators, but the problem is, I can only have two animations, and I would need 4 (top-down, down-top, left-right, right-left), I also get the not p...
