Hi devs!

Link: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... rator.html

Can you please add chunk.area for chunks? The direct area call is really helpful:

Code: Select all

for chunk in some_surface.get_chunks() do
  game.print("area: " .. serpent.line (chunk.area))
end

Where the area is a BoundingBox https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Con ... oundingBox

There's no official documentation on how to convert ChunkPosition to BoundingBox, so providing an official implmenetation means new modders don't have to "guess" how to convert between the two formats.

Okay, added for the next version.

Thanks for this and the area in on_chunk_generated!
