Factorio Forums

So, factorio has fast system of noise layers, but i can not see any way to use it apart from autoplace.

Can it be exposed in mod api?

The autoplace controls *are* the definition of the noise layers. What exactly are you hoping to have exposed?

Raw noise values for any given coordinates.

Something like

Code: Select all

game.noise_layers[name].get(position) -> double

Those don't exist. The game generates noise using an autoplace control and a chunk-wide generic noise blob at chunk generation time but there's no "get me the value for this layer at this position" to expose.

Hm, makes sence, game itself do not need to cache it...

It seams i need to investigate autoplace system deeper, everythink what i want to do for now should be possible with it after all.
But i still think, that at least "chunk-wide generic noise blob" could be very userfull for mods.

Thanks for information anyways.
