However, on a real life belt

That being said, i think this suggestion would add a bit more flavor to belts.

That way I can remove these properties from specific surfaces and make sure to set "default_enable_all_autoplace_controls" to false. This is not neccessarily a good way to setup your map gen settings. This will prevent any undefined autoplace controls from spawning (e.g. iron-ore), and wi...

More information needed.

- Any other mods installed?
- Copy of the save
- Steps to reproduce

No matter what you do with noise expressions, you cannot restrict your autoplacements to a specific surface. You can only do that during the control stage, and careful manipulation of the map_gen_settings. I have several mods that relies on this very functionality. Particularly this one: https://mod...

what are you even talking about?

This kind of code is generable.

Making sweeping changes that allow the 1% to continue to write bad mods makes no sense to me.

Considering the difficulty in coming up with use-cases for script.raise_event, it is reasonable to consider that any mod authors that are currently using it for its intended purpose (cross-mod compatability) are doing something very specific that was resorted to after some level of tinkering, and al...

The loader on the bottom doesn't keep its orientation.


Note: This ONLY happens if the player places the loader manually. It is not an issue if a construction robot builds it.

Unless that is not what the topic was, correct me. Correction: The more I think about it the more I think it just doesn't make sense to me for mods to really ever raise game events. -------------- damage has a useful function for it (not near the define at all of course), but what about movement? b...

I read over the first page and skimmed the last page: It seems like it'd be simple enough to register a new event (is it a read-only table?). "registering new events" (custom events) is completely unrelated to this discussion. Mods can go looking in the defines to see if an event is avail...

It only takes 2 stack inserters to get a fully compressed blue belt (one side). I see you've got 6 inserters there across the 3 trains per belt lane. Bit much? Thought i should point that out. Also this is normal and has nothing to do with whatever this "side blocking" thing you're talking...

standardise export of data Though i like the convenience of putting stuff on clipboard, functionality to do this already exists. We do not need to re-invent the wheel. Use log(), e.g. log(serpent.block(global)) then get it from your log file. game.write_file is good too. There's your standardized e...

Trains are not meant to be used en-masse. They're intended to be used for point to point transportation over long distances. You're better off building one large train station than a lot of small ones. So to answer your question, you can get more out of trains by using them less often, instead resor...

it's not showing up under any research

It's on the rocket silo research.
I can make its own research in future.

I don't really care how you fix it.

Put a deconstruction planner in your inventory then right click on it.

Mrvn, what I still don’t understand: why do think a network ID would make things faster? This is related: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=470179 The A* stuff is about how you would need to write a separate pathfinder thing to map and cache all the rails and stations that are touching wi...

After looking into it more I think it should be resolved (in this exact case of building 1 unconnected rail). Building multiple rails that end up with multiple connections still causes the issue because the logic isn't sure if it just connected 2 complete different sets of rails. this is related: h...

1. please post minimum setup for the conflict to happen along with steps to reproduce the issue (links to mods go a very long way here) 2. It's caused by Mod A doing .bonus=what_i_think_bonus_should_be+1 then later on, Mod B doing .bonus=no_its_what_i_think_bonus_should_be+10. Neither mod is necessa...

basically until you can answer these: "how do you get a mixed belt running smoothly with items on it that you aren't using?", "what makes this different from a market mod where you just "sell" an item into a global inventory and "buy" it back elsewhere, eliminating...
