[MOD 0.15.29+] Creative Mode 0.3.12 - Infinite resources

[mickael9]

Hi,

i've enabled instant blueprints but if another mod places ghosts they are not revived.
As workaround i instant request the items and my personal roboport build it.

Is it possible to get this ghosts also build instantly?

Greetings, steinio.

My guess is that this mod doesn't raise the on_built_entity event on the created ghost so creative mode doesn't see it. Ask the mod author to do it

Released v0.3.5 for 0.15.12.

Changelog

- Fixes:

• Fixed loading errors for 0.15.12.
• Fixed the super boiler, super cooler and super configurable boiler.
  • They can be connected with red and green wires, because they are storage tanks now.
• Removed the obsolete config.lua.

- Known issues:

• Please rebuild the super boilers, super coolers and super configurable boilers if you are loading an old save.

I noticed some strange behaviour in the new version: under "Intermediate products" I can no longer hand craft empty fuel cells, uranium-238, or uranium-235; instead I only have the recipes that use/create those resources: uranium refining, kovarex process, fuel reprocessing, etc(and no way to create empty fuel cells by hand without crafting a reactor and waiting 200 seconds for the cell to burn). Same with some of the other recipes; I now have refining and unbarreling recipes(?) Useful for bathing yourself in oil I guess? Simulating koverax over and over by clicking with u-238 on auto-trash gets old fast

Is this a change to workaround changed behaviour in 0.15.12, or is this a bug?

As a workaround you can make an autofill requester chest and request the things you need, or put them in your own logistic slots and they will be instantly put in your inventory

I didn't and won't modify or remove the recipes outside Creative Mode in this mod. So it is a change in the game, not the mod. As vanatteveldt said, there are ways to give yourself empty cells. Creative chests, cargo wagons, duplicating chests, autofill requester chest, matter source, matter duplicator, etc.


Just realized 0.15.13 was released. It is expected that the surface cheats are broken. Will fix that soon.
Edit: oh, only the freeze_daytime is broken. Good!

Was your game a multiplayer game and you were not the first player in that game? I think it is the cause because CM currently only shows the popup to the first player.

Yes, that's an exact description. This was a local save of a multiplayer map where I was not the first player.

So I wanted to fix this issue in the next version, but failed to find a way to determine whether the game is in singleplayer mode. I'm seeking for help: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=33264
Meanwhile, I have found a dirty workaround: log out Factorio (Options > Other) before loading the save, then you will be player one and everything should work.

Move your logic to on_player_joined_game

if player.admin and not button and not cm.permantly_disabled? show button?

hm.. this may solve the problem of showing the initial popup. Thanks!
But there is another problem: player does not have access right to admin-only features.
player.admin is false, player.connected is true, player.index is not 1

Bug with substation laying, when placing vanilla substation, the one following the first is placed 5 spaces from the border of the previous, then all subsequent are placed border-on.

They will still have to promote themselves via a server console command to become admin. That there is no way around (currently) that I know of.
load game player joins no button is shown because they are not admin
save game
promote via server console
load game player joins is admin does not have button, gets button


Actually if the devs would allow .admin to be r/w you could fix this yourself using on_init and on_joined
on_init global.first_player = false
on_join if not global.first_player then player.admin = true; cm.create_button; global.first_player=player.index

I will leave it for you to double check on r/w for .admin and ask for it to be made available if it isn't
I see no reason this shouldn't be R/w because well they can already run commands which is more powerful

Sorry, not quite understand what you meant...
If you meant the vanilla substations are misplaced while being drag-placing, I can't reproduce it. They are perfectly aligned. Besides, my mod doesn't touch the vanilla substation.

Sounds more complicated then just logging out Factorio.

I have a gut feeling that they won't allow mods to promote/demote players. I think it is better if player.admin can return true in singleplayer mode.
Anyway, I will suggest both solutions there. Thanks.

Are you sure? Does your mod touch wire distance ?

It is pure vanilla (no yellow words).

Just a quick report that the Creative buildings don't show up in the deconstruction planner filter. Not a massive deal, but I was looking for a way to nuke just all creative labs from my map.

Then how do you explain this?

Only your mod and a test mod of mine, which are just prototypes of entities unrelated to substation, are enabled.
When I disable your mod, I don't get these strange issues. Outside of enabling your mod, I do not change any values.

I think I can add an option to unhide the entities. This way you can select them in the filter and also in the requester slots, even if Creative Mode is disabled in the map.

I really can't reproduce it. I have also tried placing substations inside the supply area of a super substation, still no problem.

Can you also try only enable my mod and disable the others? Maybe it is caused by some combinations of mods.

That's the thing, it is just your mod and mine. The problem remains if I disable my very small mod, which has three prototypes and three recipes. The problem go away if I disable your mod. It's spurious.

Feature request:

Can you add a "Super" super radar?
I need it to explore new maps for flaws before using the in MP.

Current scan range: 14
A version with scan range: 50 would be nice.

I know it takes a lot of time to generate the world for such a large area, but its way better than using airplains to fly around and explore the world/drop radar stations.
(And way better than having to tell my team that their x hour game is wasted because the used to much stone and thus are unable to escape from the big island we spawned on.)

[vanatteveldt]

You can use lua to reveal the map as well:

Code: Select all

/c game.forces.player.chart(game.player.surface, {lefttop = {x = -1024, y = -1024}, rightbottom = {x = 1024, y = 1024}})

I have no idea then. Sorry.

Or just use team cheat -> chart all.
The same as

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.chart_all()

But I have added Super radar 2 for the next version anyway.

[Mooncat]

Released v0.3.6. Licence has been changed.

Changelog

- New:

• Added new entity: Super radar 2.
• Added 2 extra buttons under the daytime surface cheat to quickly switch between midday and midnight.
• Now you can create tiles or resources in patterns using the Creator magic wand. Available patterns are:
  • No pattern (the original, default selection)
  • Horizontal stripe
  • Vertical stripe
  • Checker
  • Random
• Added option for also removing decoratives in the alternate mode of Creator magic wand. It is enabled by default.
• Added a new mod setting to unhide items and entities from slot filters. It is disabled by default.

- Remove:

• Removed the always day surface cheat. Enable freeze daytime and change daytime to 0 to get the same result.

- Improvements:

• Further multiplied the amount of fluid production from fluid source by 10, so a single fluid source can keep a pump always working in full capacity, unless it is next to a fluid void.
• Killing entities using either cheat or magic wand will add records to the kill count statistics of your force.
  • As the result, the number of killed entities can be displayed on EvoGUI.
• Modding: instant blueprint can now handle item-request-proxy sent in on_built_entity.

- Changes:

• Changed the mod license from CC BY-NC 4.0 to GNU LGPLv3.
• Factorio version is now required to be equal or higher than 0.15.13 (from 0.15.12)
• Changed the entity type of fluid void, from "pipe-to-ground" to "storage-tank".
  • The rotation of the next fluid void will no longer be automatically rotated to the opposite direction after building one.
  • They can be connected with red and green wires.

- Fixes:

• Fixed the freeze daytime surface cheat for Factorio 0.15.13.
  • It can now show the current status of the selected surfaces.
• Fixed the bug that fluid sources built by instant blueprint didn't start working automatically.

- Known issues:

• Please rebuild the fluid voids if you are loading an old save.

Having fun with the random pattern
