Every time I launch a rocket with an Ion Cannon I get the annoying pop-up warning "launched a rocket without a satellite <TAB>".
Is that a known issue or could it perhaps be a conflict with another mod? I am launching automatically with the "Score Extended" mod.

Known issue, but it will be fixed when Factorio 0.15 releases.

1. It seems that the event.position.y is still shifted up.
2. Could you please add the HeatupTime into the event too? (I'm going to add each onTarget event into a queue and execute it on HeatupTime expiration in onTick.)
Thanks,
Alex
Hmm, I've been thinking it over and I believe I may have a better solution for properly firing the on_ion_cannon_fired event, in addition to on_ion_cannon_targeted. I'll probably feature both events when I update the mod for 0.15.

Another reason to wait until .15 era will come.

Thanks for the mod, great job. However the sound is driving me crazy, how can i disable the firing announcements? I recently switched from PC to mac, so i need all the guidence possible, lol
Thanks!

You can, for 0.14, edit the config.lua file in the mod folder (you might need to unzip the mod first). For 0.15, there will be a nice, easy in-game interface for adjusting mod settings.

Hello. Really nice mod. I just built the auto targeting radar but it is not detecting any nests. I suspect it has a limited range? My nearest nests are very far away. Others have said you can increase the range in the config? But I'm not sure what to set it to. Is there a way of seeing the auto targeting range in game?

Auto-targeters will scan like normal radars, so you can monitor their progress on the (mini)map.

Hey, I have a Suggestion:
I would really like to have a circuit targetting Station, that is a Station that fires an ion cannon at coordinates x,y given by the circuit Input, if eg the "targeter"-Signal is equal to one. This can hopefully be used at lower ups cost then the auto-targetting Station and there is no reason for a maximal range on such a Station.

Hmm, interesting. I suspect you could do this with the help of this mod:
https://mods.factorio.com/mods/aahaxor/LuaCombinator
Orbital Ion Cannon has a remote call available to fire the ion cannon (cf. Readme.txt):
Code: Select all
remote.call("orbital_ion_cannon", "fire_ion_cannon", force, position, surface, player)
Where you must supply a force, position, and surface, but the final argument -- player -- is optional; if you include it, some extra information can be messaged to the player.
Using this remote call together with the Lua Combinators should allow you to wire up a circuit targeting station -- but I've never done anything with combinators myself, so I cannot say for certain exactly what the details should be.

I keep getting an error. About 3 seconds after i push the LMB to fire the laser this happens:
Error while running event on_entity_died (ID 4)
An area of zero size is not supported. Either don't define area to search the entire surface or use 'position'.
stack traceback:
__Powered_Entities__/scripts.lua:153: in function 'destroyEntity'
__Powered_Entities__/scripts.lua:63: in function 'manualModeOnDestroy'
__Powered_Entities__/control.lua:82: in function <__Powered_Entities__/control.lua:77>
At this point I get kicked back to the main menu. I assume that this is a mod conflict?

Yes with powered entities.
You could remove the mod and try again to confirm the conflict.

Hi,
I've encountered a problem in a save using your mods along with Bob's and Angel's mods, where the Targeting Device doesn't appear as a craftable item when the Ion Cannon (or the Auto-Targeting station) is researched.
The Ion Cannon itself appears in the inventory crafting with a mod listing of "Orbital Ion Cannon > angelsrefining > ShinyBob".
The Targeting Device appears in the filter list (for requesting items, etc) but not in the crafting list, nor in the research page, and is included in the recipe for the Auto-targeting station.
Apologies if this is an Angels problem and nothing to do with you! Thanks for the mod and all the hard work associated with it

Have you launched an ion cannon into orbit yet? The targeting device won't be craftable until you do so.

Hi , and thanks for the great mod!
It would be great if you could target the Ion cannnon(s) with the AAI mod, that way one could have a bit more control of where they shoot

I'm working on updating for Factorio 0.15, and there are a bunch of new features I'm taking advantage of.
Of course, now that nuclear power is in vanilla, I'm wondering if I should change the recipe for the ion cannon. Maybe include a reactor?

Yes! and require uranium to power it!

Also launching the cannon gave space science packs.
