I've had a couple instances of making a LuaRenderObject to specifically mimic a custom alert. Of course combined with adding the custom alert to every player on a force.

A single static sprite isn't the most obvious, nor does it really mimic alerts all that well. I'd like some way to tap into the ...

Not always. Fluids are usually amount, but items are inconsistent. The most prominent example is that minable and placeable_by uses count, while recipe ingredients and products uses amount.


Hence "generally". I see that specific example more as fluid can take decimals and the Ingredient and ...

I personally think that's clearer. Though you'd probably want to swap the order so it more clearly uses the value of the field if set and uses a default if unset.

Oh I love this idea. Would encourage actually adding more damage types.

Problem I see with this, is that (afaik) some things that cause damage don't actually have a force associated with them...

Both a bump and mentioning that I've finally actually made this its own request like it should've been:
129022

The player is attributed in chat to things like starting(?) or canceling research. I'd prefer if the events also had an optional parameter for the player index so we can do similar things.

In my case, I want to explicitly recreate the chat message so my fake layer on top of chat can be accurate ...

And please put it in the machine readable api so external programs can do the same

can you explain the proposed error message again?


A way to error with prototype history (like prototype errors) if you're aborting because of a specific prototype.

Like so the Quality mod can also blame other mods, instead of just everyone thinking it's the Quality mod's fault some how. The ...

That's why your mod will be listed as one of the ones at fault even if you're not on the history for that prototype.

I can concede that maybe the error should be specially formatted to provide emphasis on which mod threw it. Meaning this is less of a drop in idea like I was initially thinking.

Damnit, I tried looking for other requests. In my defense, mine actually has improvement details to limit the scope of the idea instead of just asking for it...

There's a number of times people want to make a GUI with a fancy drag to reorder list, like replicating the train schedule menu for various other reasons.

I'm imagining it either being a new element like "reorderable-list" or maybe an argument like allow_reorder on the "scroll-pane" , that lets the ...

Okay I didn't make the connection that the fact that it wasn't installed was a screenshot taken from the computer instead of the steam deck (since the steam deck can't load into a mod manager since that mod freezes startup)

Sorry for guiding them to a bug report when it was in fact not a bug 😅

Seems like the bug might actually be the fact that mod management seems to declare that it's not downloaded?

To bump this and add more information ;)

I want to be able to declare a specific prototype as the cause of an issue, like this:
error("This prototype is in an invalid state for applying this affect to", type, name)

So when the error appears to the User, it taps into the prototype tracking and ...

There are no defines for the agriculture tower inventories:

You'll want to make a new bug report.

LuaControl::open_factoriopedia_gui clearly lists "PrototypeBase" as its parameter
I feel confident in saying that it should've been LuaPrototypeBase

Edit: People with the power peeked and it seems like it's *actually* supposed to be an entirely new type. I'll let the people who can actually see ...

We now have CustomEventPrototype s, and I think this promotion should trickle down to the script triggers. This could be by modifying the script trigger effect, but I'm thinking more like an alternative effect entirely.

I fairly regularly make my script trigger handlers a lookup based on the effect ...

Currently, everyone is using the spoil_trigger with a script trigger to react to special items spoiling. Using it to add features that simply aren't possible for various reasons.

The problem associated with this, is that there's a number of jank to either fill in the slot that just spoiled, or to ...

Completed as of 2.0.42 with 127568

(and I object to the fact that this was poorly formulated.. I thought the multiple triggers was intentional)
