1a) You can't.
1b) You can't.
1c) You can't.

For the "pole graphic should be above machine" you can simply position the pole 1/256's tile south of the assembling machine.

2) Don't fucking drop stacks. I think it's the worst mechanic in the game and won't have any part in it. Items on the floor have shitty visibility and can contaminate belts etcpp. It's a mess. You should put excess items directly into the players inventory and fail if it's full. Use LuaInventory.can_insert().

For wire selectability you can make the fake pole selection_priority = 51. Assembling machines can not have wire connections.

local correspondancyTableMachineToProxy={}
local correspondancyTableProxyToMachine={}

local function initCorrespondancyTables()
	correspondancyTableMachineToProxy={}
	correspondancyTableMachineToProxy["assembling-machine-1"]="proxy-assembling-machine-pole-1"
	correspondancyTableMachineToProxy["assembling-machine-2"]="proxy-assembling-machine-pole-2"
	correspondancyTableMachineToProxy["assembling-machine-3"]="proxy-assembling-machine-pole-3"
	
	correspondancyTableProxyToMachine={}
	correspondancyTableProxyToMachine["proxy-assembling-machine-pole-1"]="assembling-machine-1"
	correspondancyTableProxyToMachine["proxy-assembling-machine-pole-2"]="assembling-machine-2"
	correspondancyTableProxyToMachine["proxy-assembling-machine-pole-3"]="assembling-machine-3"
end

eradicator wrote: Tue Oct 29, 2019 5:03 pm Control stage is not a shared state like data/settings. If you want to allow other mods to add more combinations you'll have to use remote.add_interface() to expose access to the corresponding functions.

Position VS chunkPosition VS TilePosition.
TilePosition uses the same format as Position except it rounds any x/y down to whole numbers. I guess create_entity expect a TilePosition in parameter "position".

Create entity uses position. Entities may be grid aligned, meaning that they are placed either at integer or .5 coordinates (depending on entity size). Entities may be non-grid aligned, meaning that they are placed exactly where you put them. Examples for grid aligned entities: Assemblers, belts, power poles. Examples for non-grid aligned entities: Trees, landmines, cars. You can change whether an entity is grid aligned using the "placeable-off-grid" entity prototype flag.

mapping :: LazyLoadedValue (dictionary uint → LuaEntity): The blueprint entity index to source entity mapping. Note: if any mod changes the blueprint this will be incorrect.
