Re: [0.13-0.15] [Library]Factorio Standard Library Project 0.8.0

I have an stdlib question. If I wanted to hack on stdlib -- or just consume it in a fairly invasive way -- which branch of your git repo would you recommend I use as my upstream as of now (20180213)? For now I'm on top of data-library since I know whenever I call something "wip" in my own ...

Re: [0.13-0.15] [Library]Factorio Standard Library Project 0.8.0

Looks like they disabled _G.require in callbacks, breaking the console module. (And my heart, since I really wanted to do lazy loading :cry:)

Re: Blocking a lane on a belt

I'm not sure but I believe the underground belt trick counts as side-loading and therefore can't support full throughput. Could definitely be wrong (plus obviously the usual work-arounds apply). side loading on an empty belt still works fine. including undergrounds. empty_side_load_throughput.png A...

Re: configuration data of blueprinted entity

This is causing me all sorts of pain too.... I think, based on crash-dump-spew-based evidence I happen to have stumbled across, that there is an interface in C++ that entities can override, as needed, to specialize their representation in blueprints. It's not hard to think of good reasons the devs m...

Re: blueprint setup cancellation

Is there perhaps an "item" property? There is and there isn't. It's really strange. It depends on whether you are setting up(*) the blueprint for the first time, or reconfiguring the a blueprint that is already set up. In the former case, there is no item property. But the good news is th...

Re: blueprint setup cancellation

Perhaps you can find something in "players[1].gui.children" or "players[1].gui.center.children" after the event triggers? Way ahead of you but I struck out there, they are all as empty as the soul of a medium biter (I found nothing in there but rage and chewed up transport belts...

Re: blueprint setup cancellation

You could try registering the on_gui_opened and on_gui_closed events and print the event.element.name property to find the name of the blueprint configuration window, probably unique, then use that to determine whether they opened the blueprint window or some other window. That sounds like the kind...

Re: blueprint setup cancellation

on_player_setup_blueprint won't fire when a player opens a blueprint because they haven't setup a blueprint. They simply opened a new GUI - which fires the on_gui_opened event. Additionally when the player cancels a blueprint it will fire the on_gui_closed event. It seems I'm closer to knowing if t...

In bot landfill there is some kind of conflict with creative mode mod, when trying to use the "create wand" to build tiles. I didn't try to understand the underlying problem (which is probably worth doing since it's hard to imagine a good reason for these events to be firing with nonstanda...

Re: [Rseding91] [0.16.12] Still having requester problems

Buffer chests do have a lower priority than requester chests - by design. Let me get this straight (and, if you guys ever write a manual for this game, put it in): if both a buffer chest and a requester chest request an item, and there are fewer of that available than both request in total, the buf...

blueprint setup cancellation

I would like to know when the user is in the blueprint setup gui, and what blueprint they are tooling around with. Problem is there doesn't seem to be any way to know if they cancelled blueprint setup, or are still working on it. Another limitation in 0.16.22 is that when players enter the blueprint...

Re: Re-use blue print signature

Furthermore, (still in ideal-world mode), the visual part of the GUI would employ a fully-featured factorio surface, effectively embedding a mini "creative mode" in the base-game. That last part is a pretty big ask though. It's already in the game in the form of tutorials. You have separa...
