There's no non script way to do anything with surfaces at this pointorzelek wrote:Find a mod called underground - it made it work from what I seen. A least a bit - I'm missing some nice non script way to transfer materials to different surface to make it really possible.
Surfaces exist only in the sense that the game knows how handle multiple of them and the API has a few methods to work with them. Transferring items between surfaces and players is only possible to do through the API right now.Enjoy the most hackiest code i have made for Factorio:Rseding91 wrote:That's currently not possible at surface creation in 0.12.

For now, you would need to use on_chunk_generated and set entities/tiles to what you want.

end
end
end

searchDist = 150

Wouldn't normal on_chunk generated work to replace the tiles ?
