(I accidentally deleted curi's original comment, but thankfully it is preserved in this reply. Whoopsie) https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Localisation#Built-in_parameters says "We can also use this for items and entities etc.", but there is no list of acceptable keywords anywhere. Yea, i...

windows 10

I'm not on W10.

In retrospect looking at the gif it also shows a significant lag between in-game cursor (number) and real cursor position.

downloaded the standalone factorio
renamed factorio.exe to factorio_1_1_38.exe

You have to rename the whole folder if you want to be able to use two versions.

which is just how the game works.

More correctly this is simply the vanilla default. Mods can activate it via zoom_to_world_can_use_nightvision.

Character corpse prototypes in data stage can define an armor_picture_mapping , but at runtime I see no way to either read this or spawn a corpse with a specific armor mapping. My mod Eradicator's Character Additions would look a bit nicer if I could pass i.e. the name of an armor prototype to creat...

Tooltip shows "Confirm (E)" but nothing happens when pressing e.

I got used to it.

Frankly, I did not fully understand your comment. Is there an error after all, or what is the reason? If my speculations are correct then yes and no. I'll rephrase my speculation : The games has 60 updates per second (UPS) and thus no single thing can happen more often than 60 times per second. So ...

If I had to guess I'd say the game has 60UPS, so to get 67.5/s of anything you'd have to do that thing twice every 8 ticks. Other parts of the engine usually don't support doing "the same thing twice per tick" (i.e. assembline machines), so maybe the wiki value is just theoretical.

Thanks for the report. Character entities use "orientation" not direction.

That would've broken all my other code in quite obvious ways.

Thanks for fixing.

According to the doc create_entity accepts direction, but when trying to spawn a character it's always spawned facing north. Did not test with other entity types.

First we fight years that we cannot put items into the request list twice. Erroneous grammar makes that ambigious. Are you saying "we" fought for or against being able to add the duplicates? I remember no such fight. But I know on which side I would've fought ;). ___ The general idea soun...

[...]Mrvn's suggestion about returning to a roboport at half health sounds like three lines of the code. I understand, there will be slightly more code, but anyway this is very simple solution. I have learnt over the years to never ever assume the simplicity of a change in the code (and yes, there ...

Is Wube on a hiring spree?
Welcome @Tobias1595.

If you want cross-mod-require to work fully correctly you need every single "require" to use the full mod prefix and path to the file and never use relative paths. It would be nice if the base game would lead by example :mrgreen: as it's currently not easy to cross-require base game files.

These seem to be suggestions for the https://wiki.factorio.com/Glossary which does have entries for entities and outposts. Ironically that glossary describes a "Boostrap factory" as the entire factory used to complete the research tree before starting to plan a megabase. As most people do...

The final error message blames Realistic Fusion Reactors. Does it work if you disable that mod?

P.S. The URL layout hasn't changed, and if it ever does, there will be redirects in place forever. I hate link rot as much as the next person. This is nice to know. However "events.html" is "Events.html" in the new version, breaking all links to it. [Edit: Also redirects don't w...

Afaik the player can only insert into grids they have an open gui of. So you should be able to isolate the cases that are definetly by script, leaving a mangled rest of player-or-script situations. (Based on basic logic without having had a look at the events.)

Your screenshot comparison also shows well that the new design needs much more horizontal space to display the same information. The old design imho flows better. And as I don't have an extra screen just for docs that's pretty important for me too. Quite honestly the "old" layout is one o...
