Some feedback: I'm trying to setup my mod to work with the Mod Manager, but it isn't working. It seems to lock it's own settings file and is unable to write into it. On my computer at home i can skip the message, but here at work nothing is happening. I can't even close the application, because it t...

Is it possible to create separate files for my item/entity/etc descriptions. I tried it with one file holding all names and descriptions, but somehow it removed all other descriptions from the game. Is there another solution than editing the existing files? Would be handy in case several mods are in...

I released version 0.2, which fixes some bugs and adds a processing machine.

I thought about something similar, but there are some drawbacks: Machine B. created power using full batteries, and possibly leaves empty batteries as a byproduct They only ways to produce energy are solar panels and boiler/steam-engine atm. It is not possible to create energy and and items at the s...

Hi, there is an ongoing discussion about storing energy (eg from solar panels) and use it later. This mod aims at introducing a way of doing this. Since it is not possible to create an entity which stores energy as an accumulator would do, I store the energy in items, named "Compressed coal&quo...

When a running game is restarted with the tech screen open, the application crashes.

To reproduce:
- start a new game
- open tech screen
- press esc and hit the restart button

I'm using v.2.10 on a Win7 64bit machine.

You could use the assembly machine instead. Change the pictures, bounding box, etc to match your furnace. Allow just one input slot and create recipies for iron/copper/steel and make them not hand-craftable. This thing should produce iron/copper/steel plates plates and use electric power for doing s...

I created another element: An edge detector. If an item A is placed in the green box, the circuit in the center creates a single tick Q. If A is removed again, the detector resets, without generating a signal. A bit item has to be placed in the upper right wooden box. Note that the output has it's o...

I just wanted to try the replay functionality and it turned out, that after finishing the replay the controls were locked. The character could not be moved anymore. The bug only occurs when the replay is started from a running game. To reproduce: - Create a replay. - Load a savegame. - Load the repl...

I expirienced the same, looks like the 2.9. version is not downwards compatible. It works with a fresh game however.

Nice idea. Would be great to have something like this if it's worked out properly. I found the bugs in your code, there are comments where i made the changes: 1st: A misplaced 'end' statement, which cause the ontick event not to be evaluated. It was enclosed in the item creation event. 2nd: You can'...

You guys should take your time for releases and don't rush anything. I don't care if i get the new update on friday, monday or a week later.

Maybe it's just a windows thing. I did it again and it crashed.

I saw that post about memory cells yesterday, which is great. It inspired me to think about some more logic elements with smart inserters/chests. Since we have the base elements, named signal, negation and something which reacts to it, it is possible to create basic logical gates. First thing i came...

Maybe it's not a personal white list, but rather a savegame name, stored in the file. The filename itself is converted to valid characters only. So everyone can type in whatever he wants his savegame called and the the actual file sytem remains consistent.

I attached my Test Furnace mod to this post. It just adds more smoke and is less expensive to craft. The file contains the games data folder with everything deleted not associated with the mod: 1. Edited freeplay.lua + backup to have more resources at start and no creepers spawning. 2. Prototype def...

I tried to create a test furnance yesterday and it worked. The ID error is due tu a missing item definition. You need an entity definition, a recipe definition and an item definition. - The entity definition describes how it's integrated in the game world (appearence, behavior). - The recipe definit...

The game crashed after deleting the control.lua from a save game, loading it and saving again. It also deleted the whole savegame folder.

To reproduce:
- create a new game
- save it
- delete the control.lua
- load and save it again (overwrite)

I'm using Version 0.2.8 on a Win7 64 machine.

Hi, i encountered a bug, where a huge part of my factory received power without being connected to the power plant. This happend after accidential removing a cable. After saving/reloading the game, everything worked as expected again. I dont know how to reproduce it, but i was playing around with sm...

This is already fixed in the next version:
