Factorio Forums

Hi,

it would be nice if on_entity_settings_pasted and the factorio copy/paste feature could trigger on any entities (and modded entity of course).
Because this event is very useful if you want to copy modded variables attached to a derivated modded entity.
I already use it on my trader chest, and players asked me why they cannot copy/paste also on trader tanks, trader accus, etc...

On vanilla objects that has nothing to copy/paste, the copy/paste feature would just do nothing. But the feature would be available on every entity.

You can already do this. You just have to define which entities can copy to which other entities using the entity prototype property: additional_pastable_entities = {"entity-1", "entity-2", ...}

Grrrreat ! thx guy.

I was looking for something like that too. Thanks!

works, thx
this hint should be right in the events documentation
