[MOD 0.13.x] Cursed PI - v0.2.3

[Kayser]

i've seen all kinds of variations of this concept. personally i like the one where you click on the actual inserter to change it's orientation and you get a normal inserter of the type back when deconstructing.
I also like the one where there is 4 (short, normal, medium, long) different ranges for output and 2 (standard normal, long) for input separately. where you can set where to place the item on the belt. so with 8 directions to take from, 7 to put things to (pointless to put it back where it came from, so 1 less), 2 variations on the arm length to grab, and 4 variations where to put it, that would make a total of 8*7*4*2 = 448 variations of each and every one inserter type.

The ultimate programmable inserter should be able to pick from and put to any of the four "directions" of a tile. For example, it should be able to pick from the far side of a belt and put on the right side of another. This is 4x4=16 variants, multiplied with the above factor.

not works for me with Factorio 0.12.6..

EDIT: SORRY! it works! -- I did not have enough research

[aklesey1]

This is very cool and nice useful mod for inserters, author please don't stop working )))

I've updated this mod for compatibility with Factorio 0.12.11; the updated code is in my github repository.

actually there are several times I wanted to put the item back in the same square I picked it up from particularly when wanting to double load a belt pick it up from the closer side of the belt then put it down on the far side (or vice versa)

I get this error when running it with Reverse Factory mod

Code: Select all

data.raw["recipe"]["cursed-pa"].ingredients = {{"iron-plate",1}}

Add this in the end of the data.lua.
i have this modified for the next version, but i don't want update only for this.

don't forget about this! the error still happen in 0.0.4 with reverse factory.

[Maharaja]

i made a little update on the mod
i have included the 0.0.4 update as well
the 0.0.5 update chance is i removed cursed-pa from the game sins its not needed anymore (i think)
i can select the recipe from the assembler it self now

hope u will enjoy the mod as mutch as u did in the past

When I try to generate a new world this notice appears:
Also, the version I am running is 0.12.33
The other mods I am using are:

additional oil refineries; Aircraft; Better Beacon; Big Bags; Bucket Wheel Excavator; blueprint string; Cursed PI; Double Furnace; Factorio Basics Core; Factorio basics equipment; factorio basics logistics; factorio basics power; factorio basics transport; factorio basics weaponry; Landfill; Larger Inventory; Mining Tools; Oil steam boiler; orbital ion cannon; robot mining site; rocket auto starter; resource spawner overhaul; satellites uplink station; shuttle train; curbolt's solar mod; specialized refineries; super tank; swift inserter; tanks for bob; warehousing; waterwell

I know I have a lot of mods, so if you can't test this then, i don't mind

EDIT: I've figured out why this doesn't work; the control.lua file contains 'game.run' or something like that, while in the version im using modders must use 'script.run'

Dear L0771,

I love the concept of your mod, but the way I imagine all default inserters should be configurable like yours from the start of the game. They shouldn't require any additional technologies or resources/items. Default inserters should have these abilities from the very beginning. That's how I imagine. I believe our views on these things are different and i lack any basic knowledge of Factorio modding also Lua is pretty new to me. If there is any way you could help me to achieve these goals with your inserters I'll be very happy. It shouldn't be difficult, new technologies should be removed and recipes/power consuption changed to match default inserters if there isn't a possibility to replace them.

I use Factorio 0.12.35 and 0.0.5 version of Cursed PI. When 0.13 will be stable I'll switch to it.
What specific lines, variables, files should I change? Or you are able to do this for me?

Any kind of help is very appreciated.

Respectfully, namek

Dear L0771,

I've managed to learn Lua and the very basics of Factorio Modding. I already made the changes I needed in my previous message. Now i need some answers, if you can, please let me know.

Respectfully, Me

Hi!

I saw this mod https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Bobingabout/bobinserters and it has the same function as you mod, except it only work on bob's inserter. My question is, that mod has the range reach of up to 3, is it possible to make this mod have the same range?

Thank you dear kasandraen,

But after 0.13 stable release I don't need it anymore. And I cannot reply PM, some "smart guys" thought it's a good idea to disable it for newbies.
