+1 this would really fill a gap, like for space exploration's hidden unofficial quality mod compatibility i used the "capture" type set to a non-spawner building entity (weird that it's even allowed) just because it thematically it would make sense, but it would be nice if there was a "nothing ...

they are not in beacons by default, and therefore only the speed & efficiency modules have module tints defined for them.

it would be nice if wube could come up with an official beacon_tint for productivity and quality modules that other mods could reference.

- disable space age and quality
- install space exploration
- open factoriopedia
- scroll down on the first tab
- notice that you cannot select/click the last row when it is partially starting to hide again

tabs with a small number of rows do not seem to get affected, and ofc since the scroll bar ...

i and others run into the limitation of not being able to set which technology "just got researched", there's a previous_technology on the force, but writing to it does not cause the technology button to flash, right now the most we can do is write the message to chat with the appropriate sound but ...

A limitation of the inventory api is not being able to query for one item name and get back how many of each quality there are, you'd have to call it once for each quality or just go through get_contents().

it would be nice if we could get like a get_item_count S function or expand get_contents ...

+1, in the past i have ran into this limitation on occasion, it would be nice if lua was able to call forth that gui.

When playing multiplayer and you switch to remote view you get a border so any elements hugging the side would need to be repositioned (or have their visibility toggled), this does not look very nice in remote view.

It would be nice if you could set the visibility of a lua gui element to remote/not ...

- /cheat all
- place display panel
- enter text in the text field
- check always show (or show tag in chart, or set/remove an icon)
- notice the text field is empty again

expected behavior: changes to the text stay intact until the gui is either exited or confirmed

Thanks Wube, I am sure reverting it was the best choice for now.

+1, it was only recently pointed out to me which version added this and the few times i did run into the behavior it always had an undesirable outcome, i would imagine there will be even more voices against it once the next stable version drops, it would be very nice if it was possible to opt out of ...

- place chest
- use remote view to set a request
- /c log(serpent.line(game.player.selected.item_request_proxy.insert_plan[1].id))
- {name = "wooden-chest"} instead of {name = ItemPrototype}
- same goes with the removal_plan

managed to reproduce it a few times, its a bit random so on the recording skip to the 3 minute mark, it seems to be related to the last entity in a chunk dying right along the border of a neighboring chunk.

Looks like the red dot vanishes if you pace a tile down somewhere *in* that chunk, like landfill, so its not an invisible lingering entity.

Does this have something to do with UPS/FPS counter that shows UPS that your PC can handle instead of UPS that is server running on in multiplayer game ?


From what i understand it will show the UPS of the server in the top left once that version comes out since the ones in the right are indeed ...

Extremely low priority, when you open a placed character that has a large inventory (either due to /cheat all and or power armor) some of the inventory slots become partially or completely obstructed, the extra settings window itself should just get a scroll bar at that point, feel free to move it ...

In the very top left of the time usage debug option is a thing for multiplayer ups, but this has supposedly been broken for nearly 10 years at this point.

Posted on the forum for tracking purposes, though it sounded more likely that the feature will be scrapped rather than fixed.

It would be nice if we could supply it an overflow inventory just like https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaEntity.html#set_inventory_size_override.

Currently any items on ground it collided with are returned in a string to uint map, which loses stuff like quality, damage, and more.

If ...

- /c script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_setup_blueprint, function(event) game.print(table_size(event.mapping.get())) end)
- place 1 ghost and 2 real entities
- /c game.player.selected.die() on one of the real ones
- make a copy/blueprint selection of each entity individually
- notice that the ...

no its not?

If a display panel has no icon then reading it returns nil, according the the docs it cannot be nil.

You cannot clear the icon of a display panel either.

/c game.print(serpent.line(game.player.selected.display_panel_icon)) -- nil
/c game.player.selected.display_panel_icon = nil -- fails
/c game ...
