I had several levels of artillery range queued up, and deleted them to advance the Construction Drones research (from Klonan's mod) to the front of the list

Edit: It appears just removing the first level in general triggers the crash.

Currently, the position/rail-target temporaries are returned by API calls as a station with no name, but the actual target isn't present. There also appears to be no way to create these entries.

Or you could just build_blueprint{} and then revive() each of the returned entities... The problem with that (as i just discussed something similar in another thread) is that there is as far as i know no easy way to get a handle of all the ghosts you just created. So depending on how you try to app...

With the following event handler in a scenario, or entered in game on the command line: script.on_event(defines.events.on_chunk_generated, function(event) local surface = event.surface if surface.name == "nauvis" then local mgs = surface.map_gen_settings mgs.seed = mgs.seed+1 surface.map_g...

When blueprinting arithmetic combinators from 0.15 to 0.16, the constant value for teh second argument is lost. Notably, I was testing with this print, which is a cyclical compass selector: 0eNrFWduOmzAQ/Rc/VmSFzTWo7VP/oqoQIc7GKjcZs2q04t9rw25CIAYbWPKSxAnMMMdzzhzIOzgkFS4oyRgI3gGJ86wEwe93UJLXLErEd+xSY...

As discussed on discord - lamps report incorrect energy values (always 0) in the GUI sidebar and LuaEntity.energy in 0.16.0

I'm 99% sure the issue with the original configuration was that the second server had a different external port than internal on his firewall box, but that the firewall was not adjusting the source ports on the outbound packets attempting to identify the server (to pingpong1/2), thus leading it to c...

As a slightly evil hack, you can make an optional dependency on a version *FAR* in the future (like 99.99.99 or so), and your mod will be disabled if the other is present.

Ah, it hadn't occurred to me that they might have joined the smaller network! I'll avoid it for now by keeping extra ports in between so they won't disconnect.

I'll see if I can repro the mismarked chests more reliably, I had only seen it in a few of my tests of this to begin with...

I tried to reproduce it, but when I turn "Single/First Advance" pressbutton on, light starts flashing but other than that nothing happens. What do I need to do to make it work? Err, sorry, I guess I take pushbutton operation too much for granted - it sounds like you turned it on like you ...

https://mods.factorio.com/mods/coltonj96/UsefulCombinators has a random combinator. Cause that is really simple to mod but I don't see very much use in it I see that as implemented. Random is not unique, but n=n+1 is. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/darkfrei/UniqueSignal Location is also unique, unl...

When re-testing my automated moving wall, I found that many bots end up "hung", and chests incorrectly marked as not-in-coverage after it removes all the old roboports. Attached savefile and mods to recreate, by pressing the button indicated by "Single/First Advance" https://i.im...

Running exoskeletons in vehicles bugs you less than close to perfect energy recovery?

Yes

Most of my wiring mess happens with the Medium Electric Pole laying and having to get rid of all the copper wires to make them circuit only. Have you thought about adding this mod's capabilities to the "Medium Electric Pole"? Regards, ~B FWIW, cleaning up copper mess on medium poles was m...

Doesn't anyone read the docs?

Factorio sorts mods first by dependencies then by natural sort order accounting for case (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_sort_order).

I'd like to be able to read mod info (which loaded mods modified/created the thing) from prototypes, like shows in the infoboxes when selecting items/signals. Specifically I'd like it on LuaVirtualSignalPrototype, LuaFluidPrototype and LuaItemPrototype, but it seems worth having on all the prototype...

Thinking about how this might work, I think the simplest way may be to define a prototype similar to the custom-input one which specifies the char/string prefix to use, and an event name to fire when one is imported. Ideally, we'd get an event-data object that is the decoded data, but the string it...

Given that Combinators now support many bitwise operations, it would be very useful to be able to enter, "0xff" or "0xff00" or "0xFE800000" or such as the constant second-argument of an arithmetic or decider combinator, or as the values on a constant combinator. Current...
