Easy Belt Layer
Description:
- Adds an "autoplace" system for corners when laying belts.
- Latest-Release: v0.1.2, 2015-13-30
- Required-Factorio-Version: 0.12.11
- Download:
- Older Download (for Factorio 0.12.0-0.12.10):
Long Description:
Aligns belts as you place them so they connect and turn appropriately. Handy when running belts over a long distance (especially early game).
Once you've placed two "consecutive" belts (one in front of the other, in the direction they are facing), autoplace mode kicks in for any new belts, turning them accordingly. Placing a belt in a new area (including getting too fast with the mouse cursor and skipping a space), or changing the orientation of your belt "in hand", will cancel the autoplace behavior.
YouTube demonstration.
Changelog
- 0.0.x: Factorio 0.11.x
- 0.1.0: updated for Factorio 0.12.x
- 0.1.1: updated for Factorio 0.12.11+
- 0.1.2: fixed. again.
Known Bugs
Sometimes a belt placement is skipped. Not sure if this is a script error or if I was just placing things wrong (skipping too many spaces); haven't paid close enough attention. Let me know.

I am.... really not sure what happened there. I'm sorry.
Do you remember what you were in the middle of doing when it happened?

Not doing anything fancy, just laying belt (red) as usual.
Never happened before. But this time it keep appearing so often.
The only difference would be athis happen in 0.12.6 and couple of mods is updated, but i'm not adding any mod that altered belt behaviour or add new belt entity.
Probably conflict with some mods ? But there are too many mod too count.
For time being i disabled the easybelt,
Maybe i will track the crash if i have free time.

Just a thought, did you run out of belts or have robots take the last one from your hand while placing?

Honestly i forgot, this happened and posted couple days ago. I already make a new game with easy belt disabled.
But it's a possibility, although very unlikely. Usually i only do one job at a time, if the robot were working, i just stays still.
Or when i laying stuff manually, it rarely involves robot flying around working alongside.
Hmm,..because you said that. It might have to do with QuickPrint Mod. It acts similar to construction bot.

It being updated couple of times, so maybe this wasn't an issue anymore. IDK.
Currently at work, cannot do test.

Hey there,
This is a great mod
However I just found an error while playing:
Error while running the event handler: __easybelt__/control.lua:71: LuaItemStack API call when LuaItemStack was invalid.
This was in the old 0.1.0 version, so the equivalent in the new version would be line 88 with this code:
Code: Select all
local item, pos = p.cursor_stack
if item then item=item.name else item=toplace[e.name] end
I propose to add something like:
Code: Select all
if item and not item.valid then item=nil end
Hope that helps everyone

For anyone looking for a version of this mod for Factorio 0.13.X, I have added this mod to a mod I update, now titled Advanced Logistics.
This mod adds new types of belts and pipes that go farther distances (30 and 50), as well as modifying the base underground belts to have a max distance of 10 instead of 5.
You can download the mod from the mod portal at the following link:
https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Neomore/ ... -Logistics
For those of you that want only the easy belt layer mod, there is a version of this on the Advanced Factorio mod page, which you can reach by the link in my signature.
