All my problems on a MacBook Pro with M2Max go away when I turn off "Wait for Vsync". Render in native resolution, everything turned to max. FPS/UPS at 60/60, no problem. I turn "wait for vsync" back on, drops immediately to 30-40 FPS.

I've added build_check_type to LuaControl::teleport for the next release. It will allow you to simply call teleport(...) and it will fail the teleport if the build check type fails at the destination. It automatically ignores itself for collision checks so moving half a tile to a direction won't fa...

I think the exact details of the API will be left to the game developers. Adding an "entity=" attribute that would override/preset name, direction, position etc. would work as well. The docs for teleport state that "Only players, cars, and spidertrons can be teleported cross-surface.&...

One of the really popular mods is Picker Dollies (and its spirtual successor Even Pickier Dollies for 2.0) which allows a player to move entities around instead of destroying and recreating. The mod works by teleporting an entity into a "safe space", then checking a target location whether...

In https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaPlayer.html#can_place_entity, the `name` parameter is an EntityID For https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaSurface.html#can_place_entity, `name` is documented as string.

I have a mod that uses a modified constant combinator. I don't want it to be able to open its GUI but the entity should still be rotatable. Screenshot 2024-11-14 at 17.32.38.png The "not open the GUI" now works fine, however when pressing "R", now I get Screenshot 2024-11-14 at 1...

Hi,

Thanks for the explanation. It seems that this is actually a documentation issue; LuaEntity::get_fluid_contents should probably refer to get_fluid/set_fluid.

Thanks for the quick answer. This seems to be a change from the 1.1 API. I am looking at the code for the Inventory Sensor (https://github.com/0ptera/Inventory-Sensor/blob/master/control.lua#L402C1-L409C1) that used to work and it uses the fluidbox field to retrieve the values. In the documentation ...

consider this fluid wagon:
the debugger shows that get_fluid_contents correctly returns the amount (9520 petroleum-gas) but the fluid box contains no fluids:

Given that CircuitConditionDefinition has a screaming TODOC item inside, i am moving this to documentation improvement requests. Agreed but as this not only affects CIrcuitConditionDefinition but everything that uses LuaGenericOnOffControlBehavior (which seems to be a number of things such as LuaAg...

The 2.0.16 docs state for e.g. LuaLampControlBehavior for the circuit condition field: circuit_condition :: Read|Write CircuitConditionDefinition The circuit condition. Writing nil clears the circuit condition. However, the debugger says something else: Screenshot 2024-11-12 at 00.16.37.png So the v...

So player.zoom_to_world(position, zoom) is gone and I figured out that I can replace it with player.set_controller { type = defines.controllers.remote, position = entity.position, surface = entity.surface, } all good. But the map opens at a fixed zoom factor. In the old code, I could set the zoom fa...

While it probably was never documented, 2.0.16 removed the `item_sounds` global that was available in the data stage which broke at least one mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Warehousing). Reluctant to call it a bug as this was never really documented (and adding an import line fixes this) but it ...

This is also an issue when assigning a signal as output signal e.g. in a decider combinator (`set_output(idx, { signal = ... }`)

The definitions for DeciderCombinatorCondition (https://lua-api.factorio.com/2.0.14/con ... ition.html) and DeciderCombinatorOutput (https://lua-api.factorio.com/2.0.14/con ... utput.html) are missing.

Thanks for the quick fix!

There is more fun with storage tanks and the fluid system: - create two tanks, fill each with a different liquid to 75% (I use an infinity pipe set to "exactly 75%" from Editor Extension). Each tank shows 19k Pipeline contents, but 18k in the side box. The real value should be 18,750 so th...

This is still the case with 2.0.14 (which fixes the "teleport a storage tank" problem).

Hi,

Thanks for the quick answer. I assumed that it is not a bug, but it still works in unexpected ways. Is there a way to prevent opening factoriopedia for an entity?
