Looks a bit strange when your locomotive is on the start of a curved rail and slides towards horizontal/vertical

Replacing line 22 in control.lua with

Code: Select all

    if vehicle ~= nil and vehicle.valid and not(vehicle.type == "locomotive" or vehicle.type == "cargo-wagon") then

should fix it

• Fix:
  • Blacklisted locomotives and wagons

But, you know, you can combine the two mods ...

The dificulty increase of no hand mining is about less than 50% because after we reach electricity we put mining drills everywhere, it's easier ... but with no hand crafting ... you need to make production lines for everything ... it's about more than 200%

In all case, I've worked a lot on the method to autodetect recipes that need to be put under the autocraft category, basicaly I started by the idea to simulate the game, now the idea is more simple :
Everything (resources, recipes, recipes-groups, technology, entity) would be translated into a "tech" like table. and the system would try to unlock everything, if in the loop it can't unlock nothing, it would go in a mode to search the item that you could craft by hand before and that would unlock the situation. Once all things have been unlocked it would register things inside the burner-assembler.

Cool, I wasnt aware of that, ill check it out

Oh, for now this is not integrated in the mod ... I'm still working on it ...

• type : like in prototype, to re-inject data correctly if needed
• name : like in prototype, to re-inject data correctly if needed
• state : state of the element, locked or unlocked
• conditions : for unlocking elements, I used something to make logic operations simple since sometimes we need all element to be unlocked (like in recipes, technologies ...) and other times we need at least one element to be unlocked (like with fuel, mining drill, furnace, assemblers ...)
  Logic equations are generated based on reading data files, so crafting based on script would not work for example.
• check : this would be a equal opposite of conditions, it will permit to gain performance when running the simulation by limiting the element to check

• energy-category : this category is here to have the possibility to check if one type of energy is now possible, in fact you can place a lab at the moment you get the resources you need, but if you don't have electricity, you can't start making researchs, unless a mod add a lab that work on fuel ...
• technology-category : this category is completely abstract since it is done by combining researchs needs and labs capabilitys ... Why, because I think that mods can use something else than science-packs for their researchs.

• Changes:
  • No longer modify resources, modify player instead

• Changes:
  • Burner assembler can craft all recipe the player could craft by hand
  • Burner assembler scale by itself
  • No longer use whitelist/blacklist system

Stoped counting the times where it's draged me in a tree stone Gateedge ect.
In theroy its a nice idea in praxis its a nuisance.
Also it looks pretty weired when the car slides left/right for the alingment.

The part to get it on a straight line North/south or east/west is pretty good and imho sufficent.

function ontick(event)
  for k,v in pairs(game.players) do
    local vehicle = v.vehicle
    if vehicle ~= nil and vehicle.valid and not vehicle_blacklist[vehicle.type] then
      local orientation = vehicle.orientation
      for angle,linear in pairs(angles) do
        if orientation > angle - angle_delta and orientation < angle then
          v.vehicle.orientation = math.min(angle, orientation + angle_step)
        elseif orientation > angle and orientation < angle + angle_delta then
          v.vehicle.orientation = math.max(angle, orientation - angle_step)
        elseif orientation == angle then
          if linear.x ~= 0 then
            local xv = (vehicle.position.x + linear_offset) % linear.x
            if xv > 0 and xv < linear_delta then
              vehicle.teleport{x = vehicle.position.x - math.min(xv, linear_step), y = vehicle.position.y}
            elseif xv < linear.x and xv > linear.x - linear_delta then
              vehicle.teleport{x = vehicle.position.x + math.min(linear.x - xv, linear_step), y = vehicle.position.y}
            end
          end
          if linear.y ~= 0 then
            local yv = (vehicle.position.y + linear_offset) % linear.y
            if yv > 0 and yv < linear_delta then

            elseif yv < linear.y and yv > linear.y - linear_delta then

Nafen wrote:I wonder with the no hand-mining, could you tie that to a research?
Hand-mining at the start of a game is useful to get things up and running faster, mining a few Stone to make more Drills and Furnaces, mining the first Coal to put into your Coal drill, etc.
But after you get things automated, hand-mining can just be a real pain. For example if you are removing buildings, belts or chopping down trees etc. over a resource deposit, it will get stuck trying to mine the resource tile below the thing you just removed, but if there was a research that disabled hand mining you wouldn't have the problem anymore.
