I need to know if a table passed to a function of mine is a LuaPlayer, LuaGui, LuiGuiElement, or some other Factorio "object". Simply checking for elements that don't exist works for any other table in lua but the ones representing Factorio "objects" FORCE an error even if I use ...

Angel's Smelting's technology advanced glass smelting 1 is a 50% loss compared to direct smelting of silica ore. Other ores handled by Angel's Smelting are 1:1 with their first advanced smelting recipe. Then in later research you start to get more bang for your buck. Glass breaks even with the advan...

on_configuration_changed is only fired if a mod is added, removed or the version (in info.json) changes. I've bit myself in the rear a few times with this in the past while updating mods. There does need to be something so as to match the defines.events.on_runtime_mod_setting_changed event: defines....

Thanks for the report. I've removed cursor_position since it's not useful in any way as it is and as you've experienced doesn't actually work in MP. I didn't know that existed. Reading cursor position would be fantastic for a pseudo-RNG. Though it would be super hard to keep it up-to-date across al...

Whats missing? The only building I know of that has 5 fluid transfer points is the refinery. Try that? Look at the bottom of the tooltop. It says "Made in:" take note of the following blank space. Even if you don't have the building researched the tooltip still tells you all the buildings...

Can't we just get a toggle between the views? This gives the most control to the player, and I don't think the way that it automatically switches will ever feel good anyway. I thought the automatic switch felt near perfect pre-0.15.11. In 0.15.11 it is more a hindrance than a feature. Haven't tried...

Please revert this intentional change. It actually makes the map view harder to use. Complete opposite of what was desired.

Well I just copied the code OP gave in his/her most recent post into an addon and I managed to get the crash...exactly once . I could not get it to happen a second time. I changed literally nothing. *scratches head* 84.333 Checksum for script __ScreenshotCrash__/control.lua: 1298138742 91.021 Error ...

I can still do this in pure vanilla 0.15.11. I've even attached an example save. http://i.imgur.com/mW6N83l.png Stay on the bricks and zoom way out. Hold shift and left-click the big power pole that is also on bricks. If that doesn't work check the game controls for whatever your "Remove Pole C...

I guess I figured out the issue in the current version: I do delete the surface immediately after taking the screenshot. Apparently the screenshot is now taken asynchronously so the referred surface no longer exists. I guess I can somehow work around the issue, and I suppose it's reasonable for Fac...

Based on the name of the mod "seedmapper" I'm wondering if the game.take_screenshot that is actually in the mod includes the option position parameter that points to the chunk being generated. That would certainly crash the game. At that zoom level taking a screenshot using the position of...

I've only seen the sidebar resize like that when hovering over something that has an inventory (or logistic network stuff) and the inventory contents are displayed in the sidebar.

I'm not a fan of infinite reach mods. I do use a personalized version of the double reach mod that doubles reach if and only if reach is < 10. Default reach is 6, I think? So it should not have been that as the max would only be 18 in that case. Not near far enough to disconnect wires on a power pol...

I know this is an old post but I figured I would revive it rather than duplicate it. Would it be possible to add these additions to the screenshot function? The camera GUI element can already specify what surface it wants. I figure adding that to the screenshot function shouldn't be "too much&q...

Would be nice if it worked on those utility sprites too. Puts a real dampener on making a colorblind helper mod. :/

It's obvious (*READ* the replies to that bug report) that it's RQ's fault. It is only RQ's fault in that it revealed a bug in Factorio. Factorio was meant to show that error to mod devs and the Factorio devs only in 0.15. Players were never meant to see the error. Instead the error was only showing...

Put my vote in too for 5,8,11! Did the math for the new recipe cost. Red UG would need increased, again, to 50 gears. Blue UG can be left at 80 gears. That is 23.1 iron per tile while blue belt is 21.5. The 0.15.8 cost per tile was a little high (25.8 iron per tile) but with the new length it evens ...

So I have a mod that appears in the list of mods to disable after the breaking change in 0.15.7 (https://forums.factorio.com/46437) however my mod "shouldn't" appear in that list. One bug report later: https://forums.factorio.com/46784 It turns out that any that modifies data.raw["gui...

I was really banging my head off the desk trying to figure this one out when I managed to create a small dozen line (that could really be reduced to a one-liner mod that would trigger the issue.) Glad to know what the cause is. Believe I'm actually creating the gui-style in the wrong way causing my ...

I don't know how hard it would be to implement but here is my idea. When the mod setting dialog is opened have the engine create an internal mod-settings-pending table and copy the mod settings current game state to the pending table IF AND ONLY IF the pending table is nil. Have the mod settings dia...
