I have a command that creates a requester chest with a filter

/c game.surfaces[1].create_entity{
  name = "logistic-chest-requester", position = {game.player.position.x+3, game.player.position.y},
  force=game.player.force, request_filters={ {index=1, name="iron-plate", count=128} }
}

But if I create an infinite chest with a filter, then the filter is not applied to it

Code: Select all

/c game.surfaces[1].create_entity{    name = "infinity-chest", position = {game.player.position.x+3, game.player.position.y},    force=game.player.force, request_filters={ {index=1, name="iron-plate", count=128} }  }

How do I add a filter to the chest?

The infinity chest uses another method than the requester chest: http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaE ... ity_filter that you will have to set that outside of the create_entity function.

Code: Select all

/c game.surfaces[1].create_entity{    name = "infinity-chest", position = {game.player.position.x+3, game.player.position.y},    force=game.player.force }  }.set_infinity_filter(1, "iron-plate")

Combining both replies, this code works in 0.16.51:

Code: Select all

/c game.surfaces[1].create_entity{ name="infinity-chest", position={game.player.position.x+1, game.player.position.y+1}, force=game.player.force}.set_infinity_filter(1,{index=1,name="iron-plate",count=50})

(Nexela's answer gives an error about the second arg to set_inf_filter being a string instead of a table.)
