I think a LuaSound class similar to LuaRendering would be awesome. Since the LuaRendering stuff isn't deterministic and/or saved with the game I suggest using that as a template for how LuaSound should and/or could work. Here is my idea for the LuaSound API sound :: LuaSound : Allows playing of soun...

Out of curiosity, what is the use case for "hiding" mod settings ?

Depreciated settings that are left in for compatibility/migrating older saves would be my first guess.

I've had issues getting this to work. Now, I only have 4 reactors in it, but to be honest, that's all you want to begin with. It keeps filling up the reactors to max (5 cells) when it runs low, when you don't even need 2 cells to max out temps and storage. There's a lot of logic so it's hard to fol...

Personally, I love the idea of crowd sourcing the tutorials, or at least a good body of the work. Something about it just seems right, and I would jump at the opportunity to help out in any way I could. I'm sure others feel the same. Agreed. Maybe even a few different "types". A "how...

So I rewrote this app as a nodejs module (Still needs work). I noticed that in your code (and the wiki docs) is that reading and writing strings is handled differently from how Factorio actually does it. Perhaps this is just differences between Factorio versions 0.16 (that your app was originally wr...

I've been playing on a server (that's been slow to update) everything's been going great until last week. Now (or at least it has only become bad enough now) whenever any player picks up a blueprint to place into the world every connected player has their FPS tank from 60 to 5fps. It becomes nearly ...

This is a list of issues I had/noticed while working through the tutorials in 0.17 (was wonder if there were new ones) and I also tried to break them (I did...kinda). Would be nice if the items given by the tutorial would also be auto assigned to the quickbar. I think the quickbar changes "brok...

I previously reported this bug for 0.16.24 and it was resolved for 0.16.25 but it seems to be back again in 0.17.X. I can just restart the game to fix it after changing keybindings. However, for anyone not in the know it would seem like the hotbar is completely messed up after changing keybindings u...

It actually does work but you have to quit the game and reload for the quickbar to start reacting. In any case, fixed in 0.16.25. Hey....This bug is back in 0.17.X. :( I'm gonna post a new bug report and link to this one since I have no idea if you get notified for necro threads. Then edit this pos...

You are confusing "Character Logistic Slots" with "Character Logistic Trash Slots". NaB. Not a bug? Can you explain that? I don't understand how/why "trash slots 1" doesn't need to depend on logistic robots research which is required for the trash slots to actually fun...

Crap, I am, I'll correct that. The screenshots are still accurate though.

I haven't messed with the belt immunity equipment yet but most other power armor equipment has an internal buffer that stores power. Open up the power armor and watch for a bar on the belt immunity equipment and see if it slowly drains while standing on a belt. You'll probably start jerkily sliding ...

This is by design. They just won't update their output anymore until they receive power again.

After researching logistics that I discovered I could research "Character Logistic Trash Slots 1" characterlogislots1.jpg Poking around the tech tree I located "Character Logistic Trash Slots 2" and discovered that it depended on "Logistic Robots" with the "Charact...

I knew there had to be a thread on this. I remember seeing people talk about that error but I thought it was a botched update zip file that was later fixed. I say that because when I updated later it worked just fine. Thanks for the info. I assume that once this is fixed it will be in the factorio p...

0.16.51 standalone updated to 0.17.0 just fine [with experimental updates option checked, of course] when 0.17.0 first came out a few days ago. Which caused headaches for a lot of people with the removed beta campaign but that's since resolved and neither here or there. Now, however, I have to manua...

Can you upload your saves, please? I am going to disable target leading for flamethrower turrets for 0.17.3, but your saves will be helpfull when researching how to make it better. Still lead the target but check that the firing position is within the turret's aiming box. If it isn't snap it to the...

the attacks are based on pollution, and after automating Circuits many players leave them running for no reason. Why are you basing attacks on pollution without teaching about pollution? The first attacks are clearly scripted for the story then you switch to pollution-based scripted attacks without...

Even if compileatron is classified as a biter it should show his icon instead of a biter plus why did I get the random alert for a tree being destroyed?

I'm having an incredibly hard time with the tutorial. No splitters and underground belts is proving to be a massive headache getting production up to anything reasonable. If you don't complete the tutorial within roughly an hour or so after moving to the 2nd location you can pretty much kiss your ch...
