I'd like to be able to make a machine that automatically forces the recipes produced to a specific quality, but not need to specify the recipe for it. I'd also like this functionality to be extended to furnaces such that you can have quality 'upgraders' and 'downgraders'. Tertially, it would be ...

This could allow for tiered progression of buildings, starting from negative qualities (which retain usefulness even in late game) and buildings with positive quality

Exactly what I thought, I always wondered what a system with Inverted Quality and normal Quality would be like.

Oh, so every entity's module profile is limited to its own modules? Beacons don't affect it?


Correct, at least the way I envision it. Beacons would profile their modules, then those profiled effects are transmitted as normal. This sort of system would benefit more beacons per machine, and be ...

Any update on this? Been a while, would like to embed youtube/webm videos on mod pages

And what of the modules in beacons? Do they count? Does the count get multiplied by the beacon's effect multiplier, resulting in a fractional number? How are you going to define a profile then?


The beacon uses the same profile as other machines. It's transmitted results reflect those of the ...

As stated in title, I'd like modules to have a profile. I'm still unsure of the implementation, whether it would be summed based on the number of that module, that module category (productivity, speed, quality, or custom categories), or based on total number of modules in the entity, or if it should ...

+1, I am going to be implementing an alert in the coming weeks and I thought this was already a feature but apparently not. I'd also like to use this in another mod where pausing in editor mode makes it break. Alternatively, a 'paused_tick' or some other type of on_tick event that supports ticks ...

In that case, I'm making a mod to apply a different set of default settings for machines, which can be either entity settings or circuit settings. The plan is to have circuit settings only apply when a wire is connected, but as of right now that's not possible. So it's either some hacky way to get ...

Similar to MiningDrillPrototype.drops_full_belt_stakcs , I had a user a while back on my mod Stacking Loaders ask for the ability to make the loaders only output full stacks instead of just creating the stacks as high as possible with whatever's avaliable. This obviously isn't possible with the ...

+1, from a dev that does a lot of compatibility fixes between mods it would be very nice to properly recommend mods that play well together and complement each other instead of grouping those with the optional dependencies where I just note that the linked mods are supported.

There's been a large number of these type of requests over the years (i count 10+) was there any resolution to this? Perhaps it could be called naturally after `on_built` events, and if mods add/modify circuit connections it could have an option to `raise_connected` just like how `surface.create ...

+1, more interactions please

+1, i am not quite a fan of synonym searching the docs page every time i want to find something.

Ah yes, i see. Yes, that would be awesome

I thought i knew whet was being requested but know i dont... can you explain the proposed error message again?

+1, would greatly help for train stop like UIs where reordering is a main use case

Added RecipePrototype::additional_categories.

Does this mean that inter-mod compatibility no longer requires you to create dozens of recipe categories with names like "cryogenics-or-armory-or-basic-chemistry"?

Indeed!!!

+1. Would also greatly help for dynamic/automatic mods that create/modify entities ad nauseum.
