Factorio Forums

Hi all, am new to factorio modding and have set myself i large goal. Want to know if it is possible first.
I want to create an automated resource scanning mod that can output resource type and location via a modded radar maybe.
Is there login in the game for me to even do this?
I found resource read mode in the defines section of the API website but think that is only from miners.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Ash

You should use type="constant-combinator" for outputting signals.

And find_entities_filtered for scanning.

Thanks DaveMcW,
Thant gives me something to go on. Sure i will be posting back as i move forward.
