[0.16.7] Transport belts can't be disactivated

[darkfrei]

Many entities can be enabled and disabled by the script. Here is console adaptation:

Code: Select all

/c game.player.selected.active = false

But conveyor belts can't be disabled with the same command (and by the script too).

Thanks for the report however that's working as intended. Not all entities can be disabled through script - cargo wagons, locomotives, and such also can't be disabled.

Was it early possible?
The mod electric_transport_belts from Factorio [0.14] can support belts disabling.

It was possible in 0.15 and previous. 0.16 made it not possible as a result of the transport belt optimization. The belts themselves aren't updated at all anymore and all of the logic was moved into a central manager class that handles moving the items for entire merged sections of belts.
