I completely stopped work on this mod unfortunately! I don't know if I'll ever properly revisit this, I still had a lot of ideas, but there was a lot of work to do. There is a github repository here if anyone else wants to hack around with the code: https://github.com/chucksellick/factorio-portal-re...

We love you for the quick updates but please take your deserved time off!

Shh, don't let them know they're allowed time off, there is still time for plenty of releases before Christmas

Oh haha, I really should have searched first shouldn't I Many thanks for the speedy fix!

See this bug report from player Part-human on my Portal Research mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/docpaisley/portal-research/discussion/16566 Creating a beam that is over ~650 units long seems to then trigger a corruption error upon saving the game. Not sure what the best behaviour would be but e...

Personally I use "gulp" (a node.js build system) for this - you can see my gulpfile.js here: https://github.com/chucksellick/factorio-portal-research/blob/master/gulpfile.js Some cool features: Continually watches for file changes, automatically rebuilds every time you change anything Pars...

A "hovered GUI element" would still need to send a network action every time the hovered element changed even when it wasn't being used since the GUI elements don't exist on anyones instance except the guy who sees them. Is this particularly any more network load than updating the player....

That's great to hear, thanks!

I would also really like a way to check what GUI element a player's cursor is currently over. I don't think this would be an event due to the network load that could cause, but some property like player.hovered_element (similar to player.selected) would be incredibly useful. I'd like to use this to ...

Hi Doc i think the ISS is like 250 million dollars per year or something, but its a worthy project :) My in-mod equivalent of the ISS will be the Orbital Research Station. I have a bit of a plan for this and the repair station which have some similarities to what you described, but without the colo...

0.7.9 released:

* Fixed dying space telescopes would crash the game (The Zero)
* Massively decrease orbital death rate until repair stations are implemented (x100)

1. You're doing great work and I love the mod, but from what I've seen so far, a lot of errors and fix releases wouldn't happen if you did at least some sanity checks. Bugs are expected, but checking everything works would save us beta testers a lot of trouble. Here's an idea: Expose some API funct...

Released 0.7.8:

* Fixed antennas removed while receiving orbital power would crash (HorusOP)
* Mention Factorio Cross Mod in README


Thanks for both reports

Fixed along with a load of GUI improvements in 0.7.7. Hopefully didn't break anything else while I was doing that!

0.7.5 released, recent changes:

* Add more varied resources back to sites
* Add a button to forget sites you're not interested in
* Fix error when launching orbitals
* Make orbitals die at a much more sensible rate

Hi, this mod is causing an incompatibility with some other mods that use tinted graphics instead of using their own graphics. An example of the error can be seen here: http://imgur.com/a/WuobQ I think the issue stems from that the machine in question is using a tinted version of the chemical plant i...

0.7.3 released

* Orbitals now take damage over time and eventually die
* Fixed a silly init bug (reported by buggy123)
* Fixed an occasional lockup due to tick handling

So I think I've broken something, but i'm not 100% certain it's a problem with your mod. Yep, it's a problem with my mod. Factorio is out to get me sometimes :) You can remove the offending line, it isn't needed, or it'll be fixed shortly in the next update. P.S. Slightly appropriate username there...

Latest release - 0.7.2. Major new features: * Radio Masts - wireless transmission for the circuit network allowing signals to be sent and received to/from your asteroid outposts. Also very useful for distant outposts in your base. Limited to 100 channels and 10 signals per channel; there is also a s...

When I hide some custom GUI window (using style.visible=false) in response to a game event (for instance, [esc] closing an opened chest) the WASD keys stop working. This was because the window contained a textfield which had the cursor focused, and it is still focused after closing the window even t...

Super chuffed to see the mod I started mentioned for the 2nd time in a community spotlight! Big props to justarandomgeek for keeping it going and DaveMcW for his ridiculous creation!

And great news that GUI will be getting some love soon, hopefully this will have a lot of benefits for modders too.
