When I create entity (specifically a chest) with LuaSurface.create_entity I can provide "bar" parameter which will be used to set bar of a chest.

But this "bar" is treated as zero-based index, instead of 1-based index as all other method which work with inventory bar

Code: Select all

-- setting "bar" to 10, so only first row should be allowed
-- but "get_bar" function returns 11
surface.create_entity({name = 'iron-chest', bar = 10}).get_inventory(defines.inventory.chest).get_bar()

Well, that's annoying. It turns out all blueprint strings share this same Lua API. So if I "fix" it for create_entity every single blueprint string will be broken. It's going to need some more thinking.

Plus breaking use of LuaSurface.create_entity in all existing mods which use bar. But to be fair it's probably not that common
