[0.17] Even Distribution

[creepshowconsul]

I really love this mod, does anybody know of a mod that does the opposite of dumping into nearby containers? (Instant mass-pickup of surrounding machine outputs)?

Also happens with shift-C

I tried to do some debugging but I'm not super familiar with Lua code. Lot's of syntax I'm not used to. I can't find anywhere in the stack trace trying to use a key "x". Seems like it has a lot of metaprogramming which always makes debugging more difficult.

Closest I can find is maybe in metatables class (Is it a class?) line 53. When the __index function is called it tries to get the x & y coordinates from the entity.position variable. I don't see how that's related though. There's a lot of magic going on that I don't understand I think. Anyway, that seems totally reasonable unless in the latest version of the code the LuaEntity being referenced somehow doesn't have a position. I get the impression that that shouldn't be the case though so I'm probably barking up the wrong tree.

The issue definitely seems to be in the spot where it tries to create the "highlight-box" in visuals line 40. I went through the API I found and it looks like all of the specified parameters look fine. I mean, it's caused when the mark function is called on the entity being passed to the onStackTransferred method in drag.lua. It really seems to point to the entity not having a position. From looking through the API and the methods here it seems like that would mean that the selected iron plates in my cursor don't have a position. That doesn't make any sense...

Anyway, sorry I can't be of more help. I'm just not familiar enough with this code.

I'm sure you've seen a couple posts already regarding this bug, but I'll throw my error message in here too. It happened when I was trying to distribute Green Science Packs into the lab:

I love this mod. I hate to bring sad news but i received an error after Factorio updated.

[mcternmj03]

First off, thanks so much for this MOD really makes the game somuch more enjoyable.

The MOD has stopped working after the latest patch. 2.1.20 (bild 87512 expansion, win64)

The mod Even Distribution (2.1.0) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Relevant change was

- Replaced ItemPrototype::fuel_category with ItemPrototype::fuel_categories.

You can fix this as follows (until author updates).
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. BACK UP YOUR FILES.

Open the mod .zip file in
AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods\even-distribution_2.1.0.zip

and go to folder scripts
Copy setup.lua and helpers.lua to a different folder.

Open them both in Notepad and replace fuel_category with fuel_categories (both should have it twice in there).
Save the files. Copy them back into the .zip file and replace the originals.

Start the game.

While I'm in here, to the author:
Thank you for this mod, it's standard in all my playthroughs!
Any chance this mod can work with Quality items? It only works with Normal quality.
