I haven't looked into that in detail and I think there might be a couple of things going on there but one of them is probably that the radius that find_entities_filtered refers to is a circular radius and the so-called "radius" of beacons is a square. You should probably be using the area ...

But with a custom entity I've created, for storage boxes. So that when I'm holding a storage box, it will highlight the radius of my custom entity (which has a type of 'beacon'), and then highlight the beacon when it's within the beacon's supply area. Is this do-able? Or is this hard-coded to entit...

If you get too frustrated, you have the option of turning on "bottomless pits" in Settings > Mod settings > Map. You can do this while the game is running as of version 3.0.4. These are a "void" that does the same job as IR2 incinerators did except there is no fuel or energy cost...

I guess with the player quickbar slots there is the additional complication of the gun slot and the green selected weapon background highlight. Gun slots can also be filtered (only discovered this just now) and have the same issues. I guess the green highlight would override the blue filter backgrou...

When filtering ammo slots, all ammo items are shown in the filter selection menu, regardless of ammo type: Untitled3.jpg But selecting the wrong ammo type gives you a "Can't do that" style message. If you have a lot of additional mod ammo, which may or may not be in a useful order, you the...

Inventory slots generally have a blue background if filtered, e.g. player's main inventory, cargo wagons etc.: Untitled.jpg Ammo slots do not show this blue background. If the slot is empty, it shows a partially transparent icon indicating the filtered item, although depending on the specific icon i...

The different formats are all there for ease of writing mods.

Until a time when formats are removed (if they ever are) any mod not handling them all is bugged and that mod author needs to fix their code.

Uhhuh.

You're welcome and same to you. I should also have said that the event also fires when you move the cursor off a selectable entity as well - you can use that to remove things you added on mouseover. find_entities_filtered() is a moderately expensive call, depending on your use case you might want to...

https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Vehicle#braking_power_or_braking_force https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Vehicle#friction_or_friction_force What is the difference (if any) between these two alternative ways of specifying braking power and friction? I can see in vanilla that locomotives and spi...

The on_selected_entity_changed event fires when an entity is "selected" (in Factorio API jargon this means highlighting the entity with a mouse-over): https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_selected_entity_changed You can use this event to detect when something is high-lit by t...

Post the code which is trying to reference this spritesheet and tell us how the spritesheet is organised (how many rows and columns, the size of each sprite within the sheet etc.). Mostly likely you are trying to reference too many columns of too large a sprite width which is totalling >= 8192 pixels.

Oh, I see. Some things are read-only and fixed, defined in the data stage as a prototype property (which is why rotation_speed is a property of LuaEntityPrototype and not LuaEntity). You can't change car rotation speed at runtime.

LuaEntity.rotation_speed doesn't exist. LuaEntityPrototype.rotation_speed is read only and can only be defined in the data stage. You can't change vehicle rotation speeds at runtime.

I don't know what you mean by a "the car and not the car's parent vehicle". Cars are vehicles.

Dear mod authors, thank you for you suggestions! New tags and categories are now live on the Mod Portal . Please check if you're happy with the category your mod got assigned and feel free to add any number of tags which you feel suit your mod! Should you feel like any tags are missing, their addit...

I can confirm this. I have noticed odd and unpleasant audio artifacts when running past pipes. It is most noticeable with headphones. I had some modded pipes where I had to remove the pipe's working sound completely because it was unbearable to be moving around anywhere near them (they had a sharper...

As far as i understand, mods don't have access to list of installed mods. Only way SE can check if Bob's Power is installed if its LUA has actually run. No, that is not correct. In the data stage any mod can read a prepopulated table called "mods" where the keys of the table are the names...

im not debater. i care for justice. if you dont care for justice, dont consider yourself to be human being. you can live in ignorance and die in it. dont corrupt others with your ignorance.

OK Karen

If you have some info that is not yet saved in save table (forgot how it is called) The global table. Don't do that. If it's a variable, and it persists beyond an event, keep it in the global table, or you will desync every time someone connects in multiplayer. https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Mo...

I want to increase range for all turrets that belongs to specific force. Thank you. This can't be be done per force for non-artillery turrets. Turret range is part of their prototype (within the attack_parameters property) and it can't be changed after the data stage. If the turret fires projectile...

Many thanks.
