using them in cycle will not work?

Code: Select all

for x = 1,10 do
    for y = 1,10 do
        set_tiles({"grass",{x,y}})
    end
end

Note: It is recommended to call this method once for all the tiles you want to change rather than calling it individually for every tile. As the tile correction is used after every step, calling it one by one could cause the tile correction logic to redo some of the changes, and it is also much performance heavy.

That still won't work without "name" and "position" as keys.

can_place_entity{name=…, position=…, direction=…, force=…}

find_entity(entity, position)

can_place_entity{name=…, position=…, direction=…, force=…}

can_place_entity({name=…, position=…, direction=…, force=…})
