ther's already a mod that allow to dump liquids in the watter (and bitters really don't like it !)
It's called offshore dump IIRC (viewtopic.php?f=87&t=6826&p=137155#p137155)

i don't mean to steal your work, but i was planning on making a mod that uses surfaces in a similar way to this. what i can't understand(and i've checked the control.lua of your mod) is how to check when the player is standing next to the elevator, and then to teleport them. this is a great mod by ...

Is this multiplayer ready? I'd like to use it as a subway system. The plan being, I drill into the ground at the base, and drill into the ground at a far away ore pocket, then I use the minimap/map underground to find where I dug a hole at and drill my way through the ground with the tunneling vehi...

Calling a function isn't really bad, it's a very small amount of overhead. It's just that in this case, you're calling a function that you don't need to call, so you're doing a small amount of work just for the heck of it. The part that's potentially really painful is the case where you actually ha...

all ontick functions have been surrounded with the appropriate associative_table_count check similaraly to digging_robots_manager(event). This is a bad idea. Rather than an optimization, this is an anti-optimization. if associative_table_count(t) ~= 0 then for k, v in pairs(t) do --do some stuff en...

first, here, you're adding the button to all player even those not in the force that did the research Good point. This should be better... script.on_event(defines.events.on_research_finished, function(event) addPlayerGui(game.get_player(event.player_index), event.research.name) end) errr ... sorry ...

I might have figured out why this wasn' t working! from the documentation in LuaForce : ai_controllable :: boolean [Read-Write] Enables some higher-level AI behaviour for this force. When set to true, biters belonging to this force will automatically expand into new territories, build new spawners, ...

ok, no problems, just reporting bugs as they come !

This is a simple solution: I've added script.on_event(defines.events.on_research_finished, function(event) for player_index, player in pairs(game.players) do addPlayerGui(player, event.research.name) end end) and changed function addPlayerGui to function addPlayerGui(player, research_name) if (play...

Actually, I think my headphone is a bit weird, when it shut down, it doesn't automatically tell the computer to change output device, I usually have to pause (when I use one) the external player I use and restart it (Spotify in this case) to make my computer realize something changed The ways the he...

Thaks for letting me know about the tsack size of only 1, that was an oversight and has been fixed for next release :D I will be sure to check out their code to see how they did it. that's actually fairly easy : when creating the GUI, check if the player's force has the research complete (player.fo...

Ok, I was playing with my bluetooth headset, then the game crashed, pretty much at the same moment where my computer changed the output for sound (no more battery in my headset -> sound output through my computer's speakers) if this is not the reason of the crash, I have no idea what could be since ...

Got something new for you ;) http://puu.sh/oB8zF/894cb467c8.png It seems to conflict with the [MOD 0.12.x] The 8L Train Project v1.2.2 (Updated '16-04-12). It doesnt crash without this mod ^^ Just a heads up for you to prevent further complications in the future :D Cheers Is fixed in a current pull...

The algorithm for the digging robots really needs help, the further away the tile is the longer it takes for the robot to be deployed. It's not only that it takes longer for it to be deployed, it also doesn't deploy robots if the tile is 20 or so tiles away meaning that you have to rip up the diggi...

I was also hoping that as suggested before, we could get a filter to show train stations with either a specific name, or you could make a "Shuttle Stop" (Train stop) that will show up on the shuttle's menu instead of showing "all stops". It has been done, if you take the code fr...

can you make a vent that takes pollution down a level? or is that too cheaty do you want it just to get rid of the pollution to some surface you'll never go to ? or is there a real reason (and of so, which is it?) If the answer is yes to the first, then I won't. if you can provide me with a good re...

Hey, I made a pull request for filtering station in the list feel free to merge it or not, but maybe don't merge it if you don't understand what changes I made, well, unless you are not doing this to learn lua : :) but just to have a super fun mod ! anyways, if you don't understand something, just a...

There's an issue with the fluid elevator; I made some changes and found base_level = -1, and incorrect positions for pipe_connections at fault. Also, there are jarring graphical inaccuracies with the subsurface ground textures and the fluid elevator texture. Thanks for the awesome mod! Edit: The pa...

First off, I want to say that this mod has a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing where you go with it. Second, I had some trouble with the independent item elevators as well, and decided to look into the code to see if I could figure out what was going on. additionally, I noticed the foll...
