Update Combat Log

Post by Agnapot »

Hello!

I hope this is not a complex request.

I have wanted some kind of mod to log combat events in the event I miss one while distracted or away (damaged, or destroyed things primarily) but have not found a solution.
I did find this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/combat-log/downloads but it does not work for 2.0 and I was hoping it could be updated. I have some ability with programming, but am unfamiliar with the packages and needs of the mods of this game.
I am hoping it would be a simple fix, or, if someone can point me to another mod that achieves the same thing I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

You can try the Kills tab of the Production Statistics Window for a rough overview of historical Combat activity. It only provides general information about the Enemy & Entity types, and does not list X,Y coordinates of events. But this may be what you’re looking for?

Updating a mod from 1.1 to 2.0 is not Trivial - but also non t impossible. The mods are written in Lua(easy enough syntax to understand if you have programming experience), and are packaged in a ZIP file (no Compilation or fancy packaging), so you can edit them with nothing more than Notepad.

Good Luck!
