That works, thanks!

What? Add an attribute on LuaTrain that would tell us if the train is currently going forwards or backwards. It would return a new define that has 2 possible values: forwards/backwards. Why? The rules for train directionality are esoteric. As mentioned in docs: The front of the train is in the dire...

+1 though I'd also love to have a way to get what entity is currently being followed by the camera. My use case is that if a player's camera is following a train, and the train goes through Space Exploration's elevator, we could have the camera continue following the "new" train for a seam...

That's great! Thanks!

barrels.jpg The barrels recipe icons are made of several layers. All layers except the first one (the metallic circles around the barrels) get tinted red or green when placing a machine. For comparison the gear recipe (single layer icon) does not get tinted. Some modded examples: modded.jpg 1) The ...

What? I would like to request a locale operator to silence the "Unknown key" error in the case of a missing locale key. It could look like this: {"?", {"entity-description.underground-belt"}} Why? Currently, if you print a LocalisedString that does not actually exist, ...

or the function already exists in the engine and C++ side,

That's apparently the case here, used for the automatic artillery targeting?

TL;DR: Portable solar panels correctly get reduced power for surface.solar_power_multiplier < 1. But they do not get increased power for surface.solar_power_multiplier > 1, unlike regular solar panels which do. Simple repro setup: 1) Put on an armor with 1 battery and 1 portable solar panel. 2) Fre...

Here's the "casting machine" from Space Exploration and the "greenhouse" from Krastorio 2: fluid-arrows.jpg These entities have fluid boxes with `production-type = "input"` and some `pipe_connections` of type `"input-output"`. So they can pass-through fluids a...

Currently the "jetpack" mod has 2 versions: * 0.3.2 works on the stable branch * 0.3.3 depends on base mod 1.1.61 and therefore needs the experimental branch On the stable branch: When trying to install jetpack, Factorio will be aware of the requirement of 0.3.3, and will instead download ...

I released a new version of Milestones which uses this new parameter and it now works very well when added to existing games

Estimations before.
Estimations after.

Thanks Xorimuth!

Before some hardware replacement, yes. But not in the last 6 months.
I also never crashed like this in 1000+ hours of Factorio.

I cannot. Unfortunately I didn't have autosave on so I lost the exact state of that base. If it happens again I will update this thread.

*Describe the problem as best as you can:* Unfortunately I wasn't doing anything special. I was in map view using an upgrade planner to upgrade modules, but I had been doing that for the last 10 minutes before the crash so it may be irrelevant. Save file attached. Relevant log here: (Full log attach...

data.raw["map-settings"]["map-settings"].enemy_evolution = { enabled = true, time_factor = 0.000001, destroy_factor = 0.001, pollution_factor = 0.0000005 } Indeed that works for enemy evolution! I didn't know updating this would affect the "Default" preset. Is there an...

The proper way to do what you’re after is to modify the map generation prototypes to generate how you want. Directly changing the mapgen during load and ignoring the player settings would remove the choice aspect. For an SE example, we want every "default" player who's getting into the mo...

+1, this specific circular dependency comes up in the SE and K2 discords more than once a week.

For the setting category name itself, to me, of the listed suggestions, the first two are not clear to me, and the last two make it seem like they have nothing to do with a game at all, so I could not support any of those. I have no suggestions of my own to offer here, though. Yeah I'm not happy wi...
