Side Note:
Anyone know how to edit a world to remove void?

I managed to solve it by creating a lake.

Code: Select all

/c   
local waterTiles = {}  
for y=2,2 do
    for x=-5,5 do
        table.insert(waterTiles, {name="water", position={game.local_player.position.x+x, game.local_player.position.y+y}})
    end
    game.local_player.surface.set_tiles(waterTiles)
end

It'll create a thin lake just below you to override the Void

void actually is a lake, you can pump water from the sides

Just downloaded and tried to use 0.5.27. It works fine except that I am unable to read blueprints. I checked and as far as I can tell the blueprints I am using are setup correctly (signals and such) but whenever I try to read them in the console just returns 0 and that's it. If it matters I'm running Factorio on Ubuntu Linux through Steam.

Can you post screenshots of your blueprints? If the blueprint is wrong FARL should at least give you some hint on what is wrong and not just print a 0

My guess is the game removes the ground to place the Brick, and FARL just removes the brick not placing a piece of ground underneath it.

FARL searches for non water/ non concrete/stone path tiles left and right for a certain distance. Next version will also not consider out-of-map tiles as a valid ground tile.

Are you sure you are on the latest FARL? Line 11 makes no sense at all for that error.

You are correct. But that doesn't help my train tracks.

[Choumiko]

out-of-map tiles, bobs poles not working should all be fixed in https://github.com/Choumiko/FARL/releases/tag/v0.5.28

so I'm using FARL to setup my 4 lane trains, but it keeps placing the one signal on the wrong side of the tracks, is there something I am doing wrong, or is this a bug? D:

Same problem in the opposite orientation.

Here's my blueprint:

[PiggyWhiskey]

I can't tell clearly in the blueprint (it might be easier to place it to show it clearly)

Where did you put the chain signal? And what lane are you driving on with FARL?

[Choumiko]

Here's my blueprint:

Only use 1 track piece per lane (the ones with the signals), it should work then

[Phantum]

Ah ok, so just a single piece of track per lane, and the rest is ok?

So, I'm using this mod and 5dim's train mod, and I'm having a lot of difficulty getting the FARL to lay the electric track. Every time I try to use the electric track, the FARL just says "Deactivated: out of rails". Do I need to switch some setting on or create a special blueprint or something?

you do have electric rails in your cargo, and selected "Use Electric rails" right?

Also make sure you aren't using a blueprint already, or else it might not work, I had a problem like that where I had blueprints for 4 lane rails and I hadn't swapped the blueprints to use the electric ones yet. (try using clear) under the blueprint section

[jockeril]

got a new one for you Chumiko:

FARL-asking to get a template of horizontal BP.JPG (24.51 KiB) Viewed 6899 times

I have one full & one empty BPs in my TB (toolbelt) - thought that's what's needed...

* edit: it did populate the empty BP though...

Hi, First time trying FARL, directly running into a Bug When I try to go in Bulldozer Mode it says "Deaktiviert: Unexpected error: __FARL__/FARL.lua:1571: Unknown item name: straight-rail"

Probably they changed the name of the rail from .12 to .13 (after all you dont need to distinguish between straight and curve anymore )

[PiggyWhiskey]

Isn't there a 0.13 thread for FARL?

Also make sure you download it from the mod portal. A previous version clearly isn't going to work.
