Force changing affected by prototype flags?

[FreeER]

I was playing around with forces and repairing and logistics and noticed that I couldn't change the force of a tree to be the players (or repair them, because of the force). Looked at the prototype and noticed that they are not "placeable-player" or "player-creation" (which makes sense), then tried the fish and noticed the same issue. No problem with transport belts though so it must be the "placeable-player" flag. Now I've no reason to really want to change the force of a tree, just something I noticed but it was something I hadn't realized before and it brought a question to mind.

Is this intended or simply a side effect of something? If intended I'd like to mention that you can make the transport belts force equal to the enemy's, even though they do not have the "placeable-enemy" flag (and I don't think enemy-creation is a flag yet lol).

Wait you want to be able to repair trees?
Reparing trees/player was actually posible in version 0.8 but that was clasified as bug and got fixed in 0.8.1

So if you want to be able to repair trees you will have to change their "not-repairable" flag

Actually, trees can't have the owner(force) specified.

So if I for some reason wanted to repair trees (and fish, I suppose) I'd have to create a roboport with a neutral force instead of changing the force of the trees/fish... I'm guessing, haven't tried it. As to why someone would want to repair them..idk but theoretically if trees start taking damage when absorbing pollution, then repairing the trees would allow greater absorption of pollution.

No. There was a new flag introduced in version 0.8.1 which determines if an entity can be repaired or not. So you would have to change this flag first.

...

--player flags
flags = {"pushable", "placeable-player", "placeable-off-grid", "breaths-air", "not-repairable"},
--tree flags
flags = {"placeable-neutral", "placeable-off-grid", "breaths-air"},

Hm...notice something missing here? Like I said in the OP, I had checked the prototypes, seeing "not-repairable" on the trees would have been a big tip off.
