Minor update, version 1.2.1, just some optimizations and fixes.

Version 1.6.3 released. The new "on_nth_tick" event is perfect for this mod, since it is a direct replacement for the modulo operator I've been using all along, but with much better performance! Also of note is that ion blasts now show up on the minimap just like artillery strikes. Check i...

Guys, this Windows Update discussion is getting severely off-topic...

Finally, now that we have compression once again, we can relieve our tension!

Sure! I've added them and uploaded version 1.2.2.

The long awaited end of the modulo era :D. It's still missing in the api documentation though (for people to find that don't read all the changelogs...). Is It really? http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaBootstrap.html#LuaBootstrap.on_nth_tick I understood the documentation that it will run once ...

Added script.on_nth_tick(n, function).

AAAAaaaaaaaAAaaahhhhhhh, incredible!

The lasers reminded me of this old game called Harvest: Massive Encounter. The main point of this game was that you fought aliens by placing laser towers, and combining the power of these towers by having all lasers in range of one particular tower focus on that one, thereby amplifying the range an...

Version 1.0.2 released, adding a hotkey to directly access the ping tool (Shift+P by default). Also comes with a setting to effectively enable "hotkey-only" mode, so you no longer need to have a ping tool lying around in your inventory/quickbar. EDIT: 1.0.3 released, just a bugfix and some...

So not having enough bugs is a bug? The bugs are bugged?!

I made a mod for that!

For the time being: There's a Mod for That™

Oh, cheeky. Abusing item-request-proxy, I take it?

The game itself doesn't support item-icons that are > 32 fully. It's planned to fully add support at some point but right now it may or may not work depending on where it's rendered (inventory, alt-info, GUI). Ah, that's unfortunate. I didn't know this and set many of my mods' icons to be 64x64 or ...

Currently the only possible advice is: "Do it exactly how the base game changelog does it."

My mods use it... including Squeak Through which is right above on your list!

Also yes, spaces are not for indentation; tabs are. But the current format demands spaces...

Yes, it is.

Nooooooooooooo!
I quite liked moonwalking!

Alternatively, and this may be harder, can we have a way of marking items as non-transportable by bots? I'd love a way to restrict certain items from being transported by players(!)/inserters/bots. But i fear that would also be pretty performance heavy to check on a per-item-basis. :/. You can alre...

Hmm, this sounds like a pretty good idea for a mod.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.
