Hello,

I am requesting that FusionGeneratorPrototype get a input_to_output_fluid_ratio field. By default, this is 1, but changing it changes the amount of fluid the generator produces for every drop of fluid it takes in.

Use-cases

that I mostly made up just right now


Steam turbines that ...

To reproduce:


local collector = data.raw["asteroid-collector"]["asteroid-collector"]
collector.graphics_set.arm_head_animation = nil
collector.graphics_set.arm_head_top_animation = nil
collector.graphics_set.arm_link = nil


I've attached the log.

I think that either the documentation ...

+1, this seems neat!

I have a slightly better video I think: https://github.com/protocol-1903/zzz-no ... s/issues/7

The boiler is only capable of producing 1.8MW of steam power, but two machines that consume 10MW a piece work just fine off of it.

I would like it if there was only an array of categories. When I first got into Factorio modding (in early 2.0), I was actually really shocked that it was all done with weird combinatorial strings. It seemed anti-Factorio for the implementation to be like that.

Right now I use additional_categories ...

Yes, unfortunately even if I set it to some obscenely high value, the actual flow rate still slows to a crawl as it reaches the threshold.

Hello, (especially Boskid),

flow_scaling is really handy on PumpPrototype, but I'm having a situation where I'd like it to exist on ValvePrototype as well. (For a mod I am working on, I would like it if a given container filled up quickly to some threshold determined by a valve_threshold_override ...

Hello,
I encountered this bug when playing with https://mods.factorio.com/mod/snouz_long_electric_gun_turret . When it selects an entity to fire on, if the entity moves to the left or right of its firing cone, the turret rotates itself to keep the target in the firing cone.

This is easiest to test ...

They do at least obey the solar power on the surface you are on. Source: try using construction bots on Fulgora without a portable reactor ...

Hello,

I am making a mod where I have a type of rocket that sends the player directly from a planet to its moon (or vice versa). Despite having hooked up the processions correctly in the moon's prototype, no procession animation plays when I script LuaEntity::launch_rocket({type.defines.cargo ...

Hello. The docs claim that LuaGame::take_technology_screenshot has a selected_technology argument for "The technology to highlight". However, passing this argument doesn't appear to do anything.

Attached are three screenshots. without-selected.png is the result of take_technology_screenshot without ...

Oh, there's also AchievementPrototype and children. I knew I was forgetting something...

I would be totally OK with an approximate guess for the researches because I'm planning for it to be an amount large enough that you'd have to automate. But I do get how it would be annoying if a tech says it ...

This is kind of a stretch, but I would really like it if TechnologyTrigger and TipTrigger were unified. It seems strange to me that there's two redundant and incompatible systems. It would also allow much richer use of tech triggers, like requiring X crafts of a specific recipe instead of just ...

Darn. Okay, thanks.

Hello,

I'd like to implement an earlier-game roboport that has a logistics radius but does not connect to other roboports (so you can have belt malls, but can't replace your whole base with bots). It looks like the cleanest way to do this would be to set the logistics_connection_distance to 0 (or ...

Oh huh I've never heard of that. How does it work? (It's Unlicense but there's no source code )

Hello,

Right now the only interface modders have to get information about an entity's status is LuaEntity::status, which is just an enum. This means that if you want to render your own diode+label combination, say in a custom GUI for an entity, you have to write a lot of code to figure out the ...

Sure, but not everyone is a developer, and it'd be a lot jankier than official support.

TL;DR
A key combination, unbound by default, that closes and restarts the game, like it does when you change your mod settings.

Either it could be in the super secret settings, or probably just unbound by default in the default controls menu.

Why?
I'm currently developing a mod and I spend an ...

Would you please add it?

I can open a new thread if this thread has diverged too far from the original post topic.
