Number, no, because you can change it, and reading that into the locale isn't easy, if even possible in the description, but I can slap a simple "Tier 4" as a description of a pipe.

[entity-description]
bob-pipe-to-ground=Max distance: __1__

function bobmods.logistics.set_pipe_distance(pipe, level)
  if data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe] then
    for index, connection in pairs(data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe].fluid_box.pipe_connections) do
      if connection.max_underground_distance then
        local distance = bobmods.logistics.pipe_distance(level)
        data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe].fluid_box.pipe_connections[index].max_underground_distance = distance
        data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe].localised_description = {"entity-description.bob-pipe-to-ground", distance}
      end
    end
  end
end

There's a localised_description field, which makes it possible to set the description programmatically during the data phase:

I added the following to locale:

Code: Select all

[entity-description]
bob-pipe-to-ground=Max distance: __1__

And then in prototypes/entity/pipes.lua:

Code: Select all

function bobmods.logistics.set_pipe_distance(pipe, level)
  if data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe] then
    for index, connection in pairs(data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe].fluid_box.pipe_connections) do
      if connection.max_underground_distance then
        local distance = bobmods.logistics.pipe_distance(level)
        data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe].fluid_box.pipe_connections[index].max_underground_distance = distance
        data.raw["pipe-to-ground"][pipe].localised_description = {"entity-description.bob-pipe-to-ground", distance}
      end
    end
  end
end

And voila:

Which also shows that you haven't quite gotten to adjusting recipe costs to match underground distance. Of course, you probably want to do something slightly different since this quick hack only works when the underground distance overhaul is enabled.

- Move Ferric Chloride from Oil Processing to Advanced Electronics, since nothing else needs it until that point.
- Since nothing depends on the effects of Advanced Electronics 3 it should probably be hidden.

i want that beacon.

this is an example https://puu.sh/AeGtE/0bbc384959.jpg .

This bug its hell annoying at the point in the game where I am creating a lot of assemblers, as you can see the requester chest will be filled by 1 or 2 items due to the numbers.

https://puu.sh/AeGxr/8fcd0b8318.jpg Even for normal assemblers the same thing happens.

Thjis is not only limited to recipes of assemblers, also for recipes of the warfare mod and logistics mod. It requests an absurdly high number of items on some recipes which clogs the requester chest with only one type of item.

Just to in case I didnt explain myself correctly, here is a gif of what is happening : https://puu.sh/AeHrB/7e1c3ac1e2.gif

I guess, it's because of the base game's behaviour to request as much to produce a certain amount of items in given time. When you have so much speedmodules and assembly machine 6 its very fast. So you could try to set it up without speed modules and see what happens.

Although 4k seems like an awful lot how many seconds of operations is that?

For high speed assemblers with fast recipes you might need to create multiple chests and split the ingrediences across them.

When dealing with long trains where I want to set a specific set of equipment ( solar panels, batteries and shields on the wagons for example). It becomes a bit tedious to place on each wagon the required equipmment.
