OR, as it have no gun, change that turret for a flame thrower (extra long range) ..like the Churchill Crocodile in WW2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rpEO3oiuos

in the mean time ill defiantly have a think on the Chruchill Crocodile idea... maybe make the bulldozer accessible a little earlier (ie round the same time as the car) and add a crocodile later in the tree and have it require tank, bulldozer, and flamethrower research.

One question/ suggestion, would it be possible to make the dozer act like a miner?

If I set the resource=false under the black list and that will work but I only get 1 coal from a pile of ~800, is there a way to increase the number picked up?

self:collectresource(pos,area)

collectresource = function(self,pos, area)
   for _, entity in ipairs(game.findentitiesfiltered{area = area, type = resource}) do
      if self.settings.collect then
        --add code for collecting resources here
      else
        -- add code for destroying/not collecting resources here (or leave blank)
      end
    end
end

Cheata wrote:while writing this i have however seen a possible use for this feature. I may look at adding it to the bulldozer when the endless resource mod is active thus allowing the player to remove depleted ore fields, I would be programming it to operate only when endless resource mod is active and an ore pile is at or below its "minimum" quantity. I may also let it remove deleted liquid resources (oil,lava etc) without adding them to the inventory. thoughts please

any further info with that error message (ie which function)?

a screenshot might be helpful

unfortunately bulldozer has not been optimized for multi-player yet.

You have called game.player which errors out in multiplayer game. You need to iterate on game.players or just drop debug stuff to game.players[1] for example.

sorry but until then updates will be on a if i'm really bored and can be bothered basis, I will however continue to monitor this channel

if anybody else feels they need to make and post changes themselves feel free to do so and ill look at including them when I next do some modding for factorio

thanks for your patience

I just got to looking into this mod, reading to this point only to find that you stop updating and supporting the mod until 0.13 ? sorry to hear that, as I'm excited to try it out ! going to test it with 0.12.1
