Normally the mod is multiplayer compatible
I try to test all cases of potential crash in order to offer you a system as stable as possible, but if you detected let me know.

If you have suggestions or design images (this is not my specialty), you're welcome

Hi Relik

I might be interested to work on your computer modes in Github. I can fork both repos, but it might be more convenient for me to have write access to the existing one. What do you think? My GitHub is lostmsu.

My final goal is making a self-expanding factory. I'd be interested in a more direct contact, if you have time. Like Skype, or even meet in person, if you are in Seattle's greater area.

Hi!
I was able to open gauntlet console at last.
But how to open Placeable Computer's console?
And Onboard Computer's by the way, please...

Ctrl + click opens the computers on the ground, and on-board computers are a part of the sister mod - here - https://mods.factorio.com/mod/onboard_computer .

Is there a function/method to get text input from the user via the console? I haven't found one in the term 'library' and read() is undefined.

Excellent mod just one question, how quickly does the code actually execute?
does it run as much as it can during a single tick? eg until os.wait() is called
I'd like to know if it is possible to write out "1 tick" outputs as i have a use that would require being able to send a stream of signals

Hi,

Sorry to answer only now, I'm watching the other feeds (mods.factorio.com & github) and since there was almost nothing happening here I was spending less :/
(Ideally, an email alert system could be set up on mods.factorio.com and forums.factorio.com ^^)

So, yes it run as much as it can during a single tick.
For os.wait, I just converted the ticks into seconds because it seemed more convenient to use for most players.
But in the end it just calculates the tick to which the function should be recalled, and if it has already passed it the call anyway.
So:

Code: Select all

os.wait(function()
-- Some code
end, 0)

Will execute the callback function at the next tick
