Re: Module slots for Agricultural Towers
Aside from efficiency modules, no module type would have any effect on agricultural towers. They don't actually produce anything, they just automatically harvest plants.
Productivity would allow the agricultural tower to produce more plants per operation
Speed would allow the agricultural tower ...

I'm not sure you understand how mods work. This would be almost impossible with the current modding implementation.

Re: 2.0.55 won't update
Try logging out of your factorio.com account and then logging back in. I believe the account is necessary to update the game. There also might be something in the log about why the game isn't able to update, so can you please provide that if relogging into your account doesn't work?

Module slots for Agricultural Towers
Currently, you cannot add module slots to prototypes of the AgriculturalTowerPrototype type, limiting the number of machines we can add module slots to.
The list of machines we can add modules to, as of 2.0.66, includes the following prototype types.

Re: Coal Liquefaction
Hi,
according to the wiki (or ingame), Coal Liquefaction uses 10 coal and the recipe runs for 5s. So a red belt (30 items/s) should be able to supply 15 refineries. Yet I am unable to run more than 11 Refinieries off a red belt.
Where am I wrong?
Is the red belt completely full? It might only ...

Re: Move space platform request to the schedule part
Sounds like a good idea. Only things I'd like to note are the following:
What would the request clause do (other than requesting) if the wait for satisfaction checkbox was unticked?
And how would request groups be synced between platforms if there aren't any request groups anymore?

Re: [2.0.66] Adding nonexistent fluid to recipe shows error of quality mod
That's because the quality mod itself doesn't check whether the ingredients of a recipe exist or not before trying to interact with their prototypes.
It however only does that with fluids, which is why adding a nonexistent fluid causes this error, but adding a nonexistent item causes the expected ...

Ok, so here's the problem. As you can see, the gate has already closed, and the signal would be green again, but I'm right on the tracks ... so I want the signal to stay red long enough for me to cross the whole track. I know there would be an easy solution to this problem by covering the whole ...

Re: Combinators: Keep a Gete ope for some time after passing it
Actually, A better solution might be to just only turn the signal green when both the entrance and exit gates are closed and have the signal be red otherwise.
Or I'm just misunderstanding what you're trying to do and it won't work for whatever reason.

Re: Using space age assets in mods.
You're not allowed to distribute Space Age assets to non-expansion Factorio.
Interestingly, the Term of Service does allow using SA assets in mods with no further restrictions:

Space Location documentation implies "parent body" where none exists
The documentation for the distance and orientation properties of the SpaceLocationPrototype prototype type imply the existance of some sort of "parent body". Rather, it should be changed, in order to show that distance and orientation are around the sun and not around whatever other object you want.

To ask a possibly-dumb question, where is the 200-600% effect coming from then? It is not obvious from the Prototypes, if it’s not this.
I don't know, but I'm guessing it's from the same thing that causes quality repair packs to have higher durability. (But not, for example, ammo).

Well its either going to be 'invert the y value' or 'set x and y to 0' bc factorio anchors are either in the top left, or the center. I'm not sure where quality sets its own.
No, the quality_indicator_shift property is a vector from the bottom left corner of the selection box to wherever you ...
