Heya,

I have a drill/sawmill example where it would be nice for the orientation to matter in its placement. I'm not looking for anything extravagant like a special collision box that overrides the radius.

I'd just require something simple like a resource_searching_offset which would take an {x,y ...

Hey,

I did some messing around with fuels a long time ago with fuel_top_speed_multiplier & fuel_acceleration_multiplier and this quirk still remains.

I'd expect that both car/locomotive prototypes would behave similarly in regards to fuel modifiers, but they work slightly differently:

Cars ...

+1 for just a few different built-in tech trigger types

Reverted belt building changes from 2.0.61.

I Realy did like this feature :( could you maybe ad the option to re-enable it in the settings for people like me who liked it ?


Could be one of those things where it sees biased feedback between playertype, e.g. new, speedrunner, expert, pro ...

Heya,

The starting area placement is only something that can be defined in the prototype data of resources via .autoplace = resource_autoplace.resource_autoplace_settings(data).

Sometimes you want to have different map presets where you may want certain resources to be included in the starting ...

I clearly agree if you look at this mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/QualityUnlocksRecycling, the cost is much more reasonable. Currently in base game you unlock quality after the end game...


I'm just thinking of the everyman who isn't going through the mod route and bring it up as a probable ...

Heya,

If you play just the base game + quality mod, the science requirements for Recyclers is 5000.

Recyclers are triggered in Space Age, but in base game it is 5000 science, where the 3 prerequisites are only ~250 each. Off a glance that seems like a massive leap for such a tech.

( Also, The ...

Heya,

A 'small' thing, but it would be nice to define graphics layers for accumulators that are empty and/or fully charged.

e.g. a red blinking led animation for empty, and a green led for full.

Cheers

Deliciously succinct!

Can't wait to try and eat fish before they slip straight out of my hands!

Thanks!

More of a query!

I was thinking a little about spoilage (I haven't touched it much as I'm not really working with SA) and I had the question pop into my head:

Can an item spoil into nothing? As in, is it possible to make an item decay completely.

This would be useful if something drops on the ...

I've included a zipped .mkv video of in game footage of this issue happening.

(This is when turret_base_has_direction = false)

Cheers

Heya,

I have this annoying bug where a turret that has turret_base_has_direction = false and some turn_range limit the turret will turn its base to face the direction if an enemy exits its cone of view and then become locked into that new angle. These turrets also have the 8-way-direction flag.

If ...

I've looked and can't seem to find any solution to this... So a little bump for visibility.

I'd say it's a bug if it wasn't used in the base game. It would be nice for robotics to activate this remote ability though.

Thank you, that is my fault. I'll update the mod.

Yep, no problem. Find the save attached.

Heya,

I have a train with an equipment wagon (A cargo wagon with an equipment grid).

The roboport equipment DOES work (robots are sent out in range of the train/wagon) when the train is being driven on 'Manual', but when the train is on 'Automatic' the robots don't leave the train.

Heya,

When using the create-entity trigger, there is a property called "as_enemy" which forces the owner to be the enemy force

Would it be possible to make an "as_player" which would make the resulting entity be the player force.

Perhaps that would be at odds with the other one, so perhaps a ...

Heya,

I have a create-entity trigger effect that makes a few entities on creation. These are furnaces in this case.

They are created on enemy death, but as the player force I cannot use them. What determines the force they are created as? Is it inherited from the origin entity owner type (e.g ...

I have had help to solve this

The fix was that the created entity should have its collision mask customised/changed to include the ghost layer.

Yes that works

Many thanks again!
