Current splitters have some strange behavior - I noticed that if my consumption is preliminary focused on one lane the other lane will back up. And that backup will be preserved by splitters - they won't use incoming items from left lane to fill up right lane. This ends up with one lane standing st...

This is actually a very good idea. I'd love this over the current system.

So, you want the game to just hang for a few seconds as it autosaves? In that case, you're out of luck – we definitely want to tell the user that the game is doing something instead of just hanging for a bit. Yes, I do. You don't forget about unexperienced users, which is good and important. But ma...

Moved to convenience, I think this is more game-changing, than just adding items. I believe this is a bad move. It's a mod that adds a new entity and should be categorized as such. If mods start being categorized based on opinions of how useful they are, it starts becoming a mess. That said, I love...

Sweet! This is the first mod I've seen that does anything interesting with the water.
It does indeed need graphics though, maybe you could prod YuokiTani for some.

I'd recommend looking at accumulator type of entities. You can give them big buffer to slowly charge and then consume some energy for the teleport when executing the action. This also opens possibility of teleport upgrades (bigger buffer and/or faster charging) that would allow for higher range or ...

Unfortunately you cannot restrict arbitrary entities to specific locations.
You could use a dummy signal entity to place it and then use control.lua to replace it with whatever entity you wish to constrain to the railways.

The function table.remove accepts an index and removes the object at that index from the table. Imagine you insert entity 1-5 into a table, you'll have the table ents = {ent1, ent2, ent3, ent4, ent5} To remove ent3 you'll have to do table.remove(ents, 3). The table is now: ents = {ent1, ent2, ent4, ...

You can only remove placed path with robots or while holding either path. The tooltip stresses that you can remove a path whilst holding the item to place it.

Thats way 2 complicated for task at hand ...

And a github repository for savegames isn't?

How about the game checks it it's a save of the same game and overwrites without asking if it's the same game but asks for a confirmation when it's not.

For some reason whenever I do the add/subtract 1 it always puts in or removes more than i want it to. And without the combinators yet i cant do a greater than or equal to condition. And I was thinking more compact by just having the smart inserter for in the middle of a factory trying to draw from ...

I do not think it is possible as I do not believe the current status of a signal is available to lua.

You fear everyone having it because of what they could do; likewise you fear everyone having a gun because they might shoot someone. Well, in my eyes it is a simple calculation: The chance that a bad accident happens multiplied by the damage. Let's assume some simple numbers: Guns: Chance, that an ...

I'll probably add an easy way to do it in the next version, which I'll do when 0.12 is out. In the meantime n9103's suggestion will work.

i also was annoyed by the fact that the trees are way too hard to see on the minimap, so i tried to change the color of the trees, but couldnt find any parameters for that. so i changed the color of the grass on the minimap, which actually worked. but still the trees are hard to see. (btw the map r...

You probably have a small hole somewhere in your walls. Happened to me too when I started playing Factorio.

Nope, unfortunately this is currently not possible.

If you press ALT you will enable the overlay in the minimap and the large map. The red area shows how much pollution is in a certain area.

That sounds like an awesome idea :D! I think if i where to do such a mod i would probably have for simplicity the machines to move in straight lines between two points you have put down :) How? Well when they move they use the findentitiesfiltered function to look for that point you put down. And w...
