I'm working on a mod that lets the player control various bonuses. It would be really helpful if I could create a choose-elem-button to select an ammo-category to set which category to apply damage/shooting speed bonuses to. The options could just appear exactly as they do in Factoriopedia.

Thanks!

I believe the ItemStackDefinition concept (https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/concepts/ItemStackDefinition.html) has the wrong type listed for tags. It currently says array[string], but this should be corrected to the Tags concept (https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/concepts/Tags.html). If I try ...

Item number only exists for complex item types. The event can be triggered by any type (basic iron plate with no data, thus no item number).


If the event were to pass item number, wouldn't it be fair to just pass nil for the basic items which don't have item numbers? As PennyJim said, that ...

The player could create multiple instances of a selection-tool, each with their own data/settings which can be edited via a custom GUI that's opened by on_mod_item_opened.

reverse_select
alt_reverse_select

Each of the above has a corresponding on_player_*_selected_area event, except for super_forced_select ...

Ah, gotcha. That did the trick, thanks for the response!

According to https://wiki.factorio.com/Command_line_parameters , the command line argument "--fullscreen BOOL" should allow for toggling whether to start the game in windowed or fullscreen mode. I have attempted using both "--fullscreen false" and "--fullscreen true" (in separate attempts), both ...

Is it just me or should the names for the "stack inserter" and the "bulk inserter" be swapped now? Seeing as how one of them puts stacks of items onto belts, and it's not the stack inserter

For blueprints that are sufficiently tall, adding a LuaGuiElement anchored to the setup_blueprint GUI causes the green "Create blueprint" button to disappear. Also, the bottom portion of the GUI can be clicked through (you can interact with the taskbar even if the bottom of the setup_blueprint GUI ...
