I can see how some mods could benefit from having "dumb splitters", sounds useful. Although you could do that by replacing the gui and disabling copy-pasting of settings

Create a mod with the following code in data-updates.lua

local simulation =
{
init =
[[
require("__core__/lualib/story")
player = game.simulation.create_test_player{name = "big k"}
player.teleport({-9, 5.5})
game.simulation.camera_player = player
game.simulation.camera_position = {0, 0.5 ...

If you move it by script, you can use https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaEntity.html#draw_data to get the height. But i don't know if there is a way to do it naturally in a trigger (apart from doing different things in drive_over_tie_trigger and drive_over_elevated_tie_trigger, which you ...

Thanks for the response, it makes sense, however its the last example that was the main concern. Even if the frame is set to not stretchable, and instead of natural_width, just width is set to 150, the elements still don't try to stretch/squash to their natural sizes, despite being able to.

The documentation of natural_width/natural_height says the following:
Natural width specifies the width of the element tries to have, but it can still be squashed/stretched to have a smaller or bigger size.
However i found that most of the time, and in situations where that would be the most ...

You could modify the drive_over_tie_trigger to produce smoke and remove/reduce smoke from the energy source. https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/pro ... ie_trigger

I agree, it is hard to figure out what is supported and what isn't

+1 While possible to recreate already, it would be nice to have them syncronized without on_tick stuff, and would also be more performant.

1. Install the following mod
fluidbox_freeze_1.0.1.zip
2. Load provided save file
fluidboxbug_mod_sync.zip
3. Open inventory
4. Q pick the oil burner

5. Close inventory. Game freezes.

I tried to replicate this without the entirety of pyanodon's mods, but couldn't. This could ...

As a demonstration, i created a mod that changes fluidbox of the oil refinery and changes its energy source to heat.
crash_0.1.0.zip
Selecting basic oil processing, it looks like this.

When flipping it horizontally, heat connection stays in place, while pipe connections flip ...

You can reset all technology effects with https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaForce.html#reset_technology_effects. Marking all prerequisites of all researched technologies as also researched is also possible.
Also, if achievements are a concern, every console command is basically the same ...

+1, even just from the end use perspective, being able to install recommended mods without going through the entire list of optional dependencies and choosing some of them or reading the mod page or needing to go to another mod, or even worse - an external resource to get a list of commonly used ...

isn't the difference generally that one is integer and the other one decimal?


Not always. Fluids are usually amount, but items are inconsistent. The most prominent example is that minable and placeable_by uses count, while recipe ingredients and products uses amount.

Some of these have since been fixed (inserters), but if this still happens you should report every occurence of this as a bug

+1, as someone who worked with replicas of this schedule-like system with buttons, and currently doing the same in a different mod, this would be very useful.
Even if the amount of work to make it will be the same or more, buttons are just much worse from end user perspective.

This is probably related to the fact RotatedAnimation has apply_projection field, true by default, which changes which frame is displayed at which orientation so an animation with constant rotation speed looks better with the game's camera angle.
Water reflecrions however don't have that, which ...

Weird. The valves in the save are old ones (version <= 1.2.1). But the issue happens even when loading the save without any mods at all. Of course in that case everything is broken, but those pipes shouldn't look like that as they're not even the ones adjacent to removed entities

After loading my modded (py) save, pipe connections in some places got messed up. Whether i have similar mod set or no mods, the issue still exists. Replacing those pipes fixes them.

This is approximately what this area looked like before. The pipes are connected normally ...

1. Create a mod with the following code in data-updates.lua
for _, prototype in pairs(data.raw.corpse) do
prototype.animation = nil
prototype.animation_overlay = nil
prototype.decay_animation = nil
prototype.splash = nil
prototype.ground_patch = nil
prototype.ground_patch_higher = nil ...

There does indeed seem to be no way of reading whether a certain achievement is gained. There is an event for it, but this wouldn't count achievements gained before your mod got added to the save https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_achievement_gained

You could make an api request to ...
