[MOD 0.12.x] Landfill (2.1.7)

[MasterBuilder]

If you fill a lake with the Landfill mod place and remove concrete crashes the game.

Now that is odd. I've done exactly this and have had no issues.

[Shalashalska]

I think this may be a vanilla bug. I also crashed once when replacing water with concrete in the editor.

[GotLag]

Removing concrete/stone very occasionally crashes the game, I haven't noticed any pattern to it.

Removing concrete/stone very occasionally crashes the game, I haven't noticed any pattern to it.

Possibly related to removing concrete/stone in the base game sometimes creating water/adjusting tiles when it shouldn't. That issue has been fixed for 0.12.1 and if it still crashes in 0.12.1 then please report it in the bug reports forum

When i try to load a save file or start a new map with this mod added i get this error
__Landfill__/control.lua:28: LuaGameScript doesn't contain key onload

what could cause this?

[orzelek]

It's incompatibility with 0.12.
The key is named on_load now - there might be more changes needed.

You downloaded the 0.11 version instead of the 0.12 version.

what a dumb mistake thanks for pointing it out

Is it possible you make the compression bomb is cutting / removing the land besides making small hole ?

I played in island map, and i want to cut away a portion of the land/creating an island.

There's a setting you can set to false in the mod configs

Go into control.lua, change displaceDirt to false.

Aaah, Thank you !

Yes, thank you.

The Shaped Compression Bomb seems to not work sometimes. I distinctly remember testing it very recently, and having some problems at first until figuring out that it needs to be connected to Electricity in order to work. Then it did work, exploding for me and creating some nice 3x3 or 4x4'ish lakes.

But now it's no longer working. Is it that 12.5 broke the mod? It wasn't long ago that I first tested it, but it may have been Thursday or Wednesday, when we were still playing 12.4.

The rest of the mod works fine, but I'm really unhappy about no longer being able to create lakes when needed.

[Peter34]

Without disabling any of the mods I'm using (because I had thought that perhaps that was the cause), the Bomb now works. It's very odd.

I think the most likely explanation, weird as it sounds, is that my power generation is minimalistic, due to me using a mod to "measure" the amout of charge in an Accumulator and then using that to control power generation (via pumps), so that the system gets as close as possible to just generating enough power to not decharge the Accu's, thus leaving no excess power to charge up the Bomb.

(Next time around, I'll probably try to use a non-Pump based approach to power generation control, see if that works better.)

I suggest that the throwDirt method changes to like that.

Code: Select all

function throwDirt(x, y)
    local dirtTiles = {}
    local tileName
    local dirtDisplaced = 0
    local floor = math.floor
    local distX,distY

    --game.player.print(x..","..y)

    if displaceDirt == true then
        x = floor(x)
        y = floor(y)
        
        local location={}
        
        for xx = x - 3, x + 3, 1 do
            for yy = y - 3, y + 3, 1 do
                distX = math.abs(x - xx)
                distY = math.abs(y - yy)                
                
                if floor(math.sqrt((distX * distX) + (distY * distY))) >= 2 then
                    tileName=game.gettile(xx,yy).name
                    --here start
                    if (tileName=="water" or tileName=="deepwater") then                        
                        table.insert(dirtTiles, {name = "water", position = {xx, yy}})
                    else
                        table.insert(dirtTiles, {name = "grass", position = {xx, yy}})
                    end
                    --to here
                    dirtDisplaced = dirtDisplaced + 1
                end                
            end
        end

        if dirtDisplaced ~= 0 then
            game.settiles(dirtTiles)
        end
    end
end

The old code will make a puddle on anywhere. I want to clean up a small island in the lake. I don't want to make a puddle with dirt's side in the middle of water.

I think the mods based on accumulator, if you place them at night/falling lights level, it won't get charged.

That's literally the point of the throwDirt() function - it prevents you from doing what you're trying to do. It prevents people from making moats with the bombs.

If you want to play cheaty you can change displaceDirt = true to displaceDirt = false at the top of control.lua.

So I'm getting an error since updating to 0.12.7. Anytime I try to place landfill, big or small, I get this:

It didn't work for me either on the first try. Finally I uninstalled Factorio, deleted the Mod, reinstalled Factorio x64 0.12.7 and again put Landfill_2.1.6.zip in the mods folder. Maybe not all steps are necessary, but it worked for me.

I'm going to request something and its fairly big, would there be a way to detect which ground texture is being used around the water source that you are filling, then set it to a variable and use that to change the texture? I play in a desert and it's pretty weird having grass in the middle of it for no reason.

Come on, you fill in an oasis (in the desert) and wonder why you get grass? There was a reason for the oasis, e.g. groundwater, and it still persist, hence the grass. I find it quite fitting.
