Cannot research "infinitely repeatable" researchs with console

[tunahankaratay]

I want to have a super strong weapon or a very long range artillery just for fun. But I have no time to wait for trillions of Space Science Packs. That's why I want to research those through the console.

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.technologies['physical-projectile-damage-8'].researched=true

This is the command I run. It should work in theory and it actually does for the lower levels. But instead it returns this error:

What can I do?

"Infinite" technologies aren't specified that way. You use the "level" property on the last non-infinite version. If you want that level completed, then you should set the level plus one.

e.g.

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.technologies['physical-projectile-damage-7'].level = 21

completes level 20 research for you and sets the next research level to 21.

Thank you so much. If you don't mind, can you tell me where this thing is written? I need some more documentations I believe.

I don't know if that command is written anywhere. The official wiki would be the first place to look, I am sure I have seen a list of common commands on it. The full API is described at https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/ , for example if you wanted to know what properties of a technology you can change, you would look up LuaTechnology.
