request_to_generate_chunks

[Finndibaenn]

Hi

I'm trying to use this api (introduced in 0.12), but i'm not sure what parameters to provide .

According to http://lua-api.factorio.com/0.12.31/Lua ... ate_chunks it expects

Parameters
position :: Position: Where to generate the new chunks.
radius :: uint: Radius from position to generate new chunks in.

are position and radius tiles ? or chunks ? or different units ?

when listening to on_chunk_generated i don't seem to receive creation events for the chunks i requested

I seem to have finally figured it out.
If anyone is interested, position is tilebased (eg player.position()), but radius is chunk based , eg 2 will request 2 blocks (each 32 tiles wide) aroud that position

Thanks! This actually helped me

Docs might need to be amended to include this info.
