[2.0.77] "Drop Near" / "Drop Far" messages on settings pasting

[hgschmie]

Copy and pasting settings from an entity to another (the underlying entity is an inserter):

I found no reference what that means. Some left-over debug message?

Please do not report mod issues in bug reports.

It is not a mod problem. There is nothing in the code that would create those messages; this comes out of the engine.

Do you have a save file where i could observe this?

This looks exactly like the "cidl-drop-near" message from ChangeInserterDropLane.

Code: Select all

--- @param entity LuaEntity
--- @param is_far boolean
local function change_mode_fx(entity, is_far)
  for _, player in pairs(game.players) do
    if player.surface == entity.surface then
      player.create_local_flying_text({
        text = is_far and { "message.cidl-drop-far" } or { "message.cidl-drop-near" },
        color = { r = 1, g = 0.5, b = 0.25 },
        position = entity.position,
      })
    end
  end

Good Luck!

Yes, you are correct. Sorry for the noise. Turns out that mod snuck into my testing/debug save when I was not looking and I wasn't aware that it simply takes over all inserters with custom vectors (which is pretty rude IMHO).
