  • Removed one possible logical deadlock in the tutorial. (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... hp?t=16980)
  • Fixed that remove_item didn't remove from player ammo, gun, tool and armor slots. (https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... hp?t=16960)
• Scripting
  • Changed LuaSurface::set_multi_command signature. Now the function takes a table with following keys: command(required), unit_count(required), force(optional), unit_search_distance(optional) This solves issue with not finding any enemies to attack: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =7&t=16541
  • Removed game.on_save function. There should be no need for it and it was causing too many problems.
  • Lua on_load function is not called when saving the game anymore. It is called only on actual load now.
  • Lua API calls on_load, on_init, on_configuration_changed, on_event and generate_event_name have been moved to a new namespace called script (so from now use script.on_load(...)). This will break many mods! The callback registered in on_load function doesn't have access to the game API. This is to avoid common desyncs. The on_init and on_configuration_changed still retain the access to the game API.
  • on_configuration_changed is fired when the map version changes, a mod version changes, a mod is added, or a mod is removed and passes "data": Pushes old_version="x.x.x", new_version="x.x.x" when loading map versions other than the current version When a mod version is changed it appears as a table of mod changes: {["Mod name"] = {old_version="x.x.x", new_version="x.x.x"}, ...} When a mod is added it appears as: ["Mod name"] = {old_version=nil, new_version="x.x.x"} When a mod is removed it appears as: ["Mod name"] = {old_version="x.x.x", new_version=nil}
  • Changed LuaGameScript::makefile to LuaGameScript::write_file and added an optional third parameter bool to append.
• Modding
  • Replaced entity type "rail" with types "straight-rail" and "curved-rail". Property "bending_type" is optional for rail entities, but is still mandatory for rail remnants.

suddenly throws error that 'game' is nil value after the update? Its the only thing that breaks my mods now and I don't really know why.

If you want to do some migration, you can use the event on_configuration_changed

require "defines"
require "util"

MAX_CONFIG_SIZE = 6
MAX_STORAGE_SIZE = 12
DEBUG = false

require "gui"


types = {["mining-drill"]=true,["assembling-machine"]=true,lab=true, ["rocket-silo"] = true, furnace=true, beacon=true}

typeToSlot = {}
typeToSlot.lab = defines.inventory.lab_modules
typeToSlot["assembling-machine"] = defines.inventory.assembling_machine_modules
typeToSlot["mining-drill"] = defines.inventory.mining_drill_modules
typeToSlot["furnace"] = defines.inventory.assembling_machine_modules
typeToSlot["rocket-silo"] = defines.inventory.assembling_machine_modules
typeToSlot["beacon"] = 1

nameToSlots = {}
local metaitem = game.forces.player.recipes["mi-meta"].ingredients

Should be fixed: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 97&t=15184
Let me know over there if you run into any issues.

I have to say, i like the changes (or will like them once i'm finished updating my mods )
One thing that may be missing is a way to let a mod know what mods are in a save if you add that mod later on.

So the last line in this code:

Code: Select all

require "defines"
require "util"

MAX_CONFIG_SIZE = 6
MAX_STORAGE_SIZE = 12
DEBUG = false

require "gui"


types = {["mining-drill"]=true,["assembling-machine"]=true,lab=true, ["rocket-silo"] = true, furnace=true, beacon=true}

typeToSlot = {}
typeToSlot.lab = defines.inventory.lab_modules
typeToSlot["assembling-machine"] = defines.inventory.assembling_machine_modules
typeToSlot["mining-drill"] = defines.inventory.mining_drill_modules
typeToSlot["furnace"] = defines.inventory.assembling_machine_modules
typeToSlot["rocket-silo"] = defines.inventory.assembling_machine_modules
typeToSlot["beacon"] = 1

nameToSlots = {}
local metaitem = game.forces.player.recipes["mi-meta"].ingredients

Is not working due to changed to on_load? I don't get how is it possible.

local metaitem = game.forces.player.recipes["mi-meta"].ingredients
