For now, I think it may have performance issue because it will require the random number generator work twice in every tick. Need some tests first.

You could probably just generate a random sequence of outputs once when it's configured and just cycle through that repeatedly; if the cycle length is long enough and prime then it should be usable for most testing.

Do you need the items configurable in game which are randomly produced or do you simply need an output of random items?
If it's the later the solution is as simple as placing a super speed mining drill on different ore types (don't use uran).

Seems not that bad.

But still, don't spam it too much. The amount of possible items matters too.
I will release the next version after some more tests.

Mod version update test - OK
Multiplayer test - OK
Mod compatibility test - OK
Ready for bug reports - OK

Version 0.3.8 is released!

Changelog

- New:

Added new entities: random item source, active electric energy interface (output), passive electric energy interface, active electric energy interface (input)
Added Chinese mod name and description for Factorio 0.15.24+.

- Remove:

Removed the recipe of the vanilla electric energy interface. The passive electric energy interface acts the same as it, with different default values.

- Improvements:

The state of the cheat mode personal cheat is restored after player respawned.
Updated the description of active energy source to make its energy product priority clearer.
Resetting technologies via team cheats - all technologies will no longer turn the Creative tools, loaders and railgun recipes off if they were on.
- But calling LuaForce::reset() from other mods or command will still turn them off.
The cursor stack is kept when switching god mode on or off.
Optimized the creative lab. At most 10 labs can be refilled in every tick, reducing the performance issue due to large number of available science packs and built creative labs.

- Changes:

Factorio version is now required to be 0.15.27+ (from 0.15.13+).
Now cheat mode can only be toggled on players who are connected and not respawning.
Added the on_player_deconstructed_area and on_player_setup_blueprint events to the item-related, player-related and position-related events categories.
Added the on_player_configured_blueprint event to the player-related events category.
Updated event logging system:
- it can now recognize the "message", "command" and "parameters" parameters from the on_console_chat event and the on_console_command event.
- added the following events to the player-related events category:
  - on_console_chat
  - on_console_command

- Fixes:

Fixed error for 0.15.27+.
Fixed the error when the main menu button is clicked while player is respawning.
Fixed the error when the personal cheats UI is opened while player is respawning (caused by reading the state of cheat mode).
Fixed the error when cheat mode is applied on a player who is repsawning.
Fixed the error when deadly tiles are created by the Creator magic wand, with Don't kill players by creating tiles being turned on, while no player has a character (either repsawning or in god mode).
Fixed the error when deadly tiles are restored by the Creator magic wand, with Don't kill players by removing tiles being turned on, while no player has a character (either repsawning or in god mode).
Fixed some typos in Chinese locale.

Glad to see those randomized matter sources implemented. I'll try them out very soon!

Released v0.3.9. Fixed errors related to the creative lab. Also added the player port recipe.

Started a game with Creative mode previously enabled, after the factorio update that forced events to be called differently, I started to have this error whenever I wanted the creative recipes to show on the crafting list:

Code: Select all

Error while running event creative-mode::on_gui_click (ID 1)
__creative-mode__/scripts/cheats.lua:917: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

For some reason the crafting list gets disabled when I choose the option "use creative mode without cheats" and load a saved game with it previously enabled, so I have to go to Team Cheats and manually click the "on" button for "Creative tools' recipes [?]" option. Now after that event update this error started to show for me, I'm using latest version of all mods.
Those are the mods I'm using on the save, just making bps for the real play afterwards.

Also the Color Picker - Locomotive mod is showing error on initialization throwing that "event called outside on_init" or something like that.

Mobius1, what version of creative mode mod are you using?
what version of Factorio?

Thanks for the report.
The error isn't caused by the change on remote event. It seems to be a mod incompatibility. It will take some time to investigate.
Meanwhile you can help me by disabling some mods and see if the error still occurs.

Color Picker - Locomotive and other Color Picker sub-mods (Player, Cargo Wagon, Train Stop) have been combined into Color Picker. Please delete them.

No need for the embarrassed emoticon. It's still helpful to know the actual version number even if the reporter believes that it's the latest, in case there has been an update since they noted the issue and haven't checked for updates in the short window between report and current time.

cheers dgw.

what does the 'player port' do?

[edit] never mind found it. when placed, if you die you respawn at the player port.

Mooncat, many thanks for the wands.
made making my all concrete island test bed map much easier than map editor.

I have just downloaded all the listed mods + CM from the Mod Portal and tested. But I couldn't reproduce the issue. Can you test again? Maybe the problem has already been solved by mod update.

Mooncat is Creative Mode compatible with 0.15.33? i saw they did some mod changes.

I don't see any change that affects CM and haven't found any issue in 0.15.33 so far.
