This would be quite useful to me too.

Having been burned by this a couple of times lately I will give this a bump. It would be quite useful.

Unfortunately, the strike_effect trigger is not triggered when lightning strikes a lightning rod. This is probably one of the most useful cases, so it would be nice if there could be a change to support this.

This would definitely be useful. I managed to get Lab Icon Revert looking "good enough" by drawing the shadows myself but it would definitely be nice to be able to do this automatically.

Is storage.market.nauvis.orbit a space platform hub?

I typed the following while in Nauvis orbit:
/c HUB = game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered({name="space-platform-hub"}) POD = HUB[1].create_cargo_pod() game.print(POD) POD.cargo_pod_destination = {type=defines.cargo_destination.surface ...

One thing that would help your solution be more generic is that you probably want to use a dictionary rather than a big if statement. This won't specifically make anything more automatic but it will make your code a whole lot more extensible. If you're feeling ambitious you could even set it up to ...

So in this case, you're saying the way to do this is not by checking any kind of "type" attribute (sounds like there isn't one) but instead just check for the desired attribute's presence in the LuaEntity.prototype table reference?
Right. Sometimes the presence of the attribute is enough, other ...

I agree. Having recipes that are treated like separate entities for each quality level but not being actually able to specify anything about quality in recipes feels like the worst of both worlds right now.

I get the sense that you might be assuming that the Factorio prototype system is a lot more "object oriented" than it really is, which could be why you're struggling. A prototype in Factorio is really more just a clump of data telling the game engine what it is. On the C++ side, there's a whole ...

I don't understand the point of threads like this one. Personally, I actually agree with some of your complaints, but just ranting doesn't help anything. It isn't even likely to make you feel any better since most of the replies are going to be unsympathetic.

If you hate asteroids, you can fix that ...

Did you try explicitly setting hide_from_signal_gui to false?

Maybe even for half filled rockets if I want them to launch automatically?

Found it.

I am trying to diagnose a bug in my Telelogistics mod that seems to show up when some other mod creates a planet (or space-location, or surface...?) called "cube1." It would be much easier to figure out what is going on if I could look at whatever code is creating "cube1" of course. Does anyone know ...

The reason it works for base but not space-age is because - is a "magic character" that Lua uses for pattern matching. Change space_dir to "__space%-age__/graphics/entity/" and it should work.

s6x

If you need your mod to load after Space Age, you can just add space-age as a dependency. You can make it optional with a ? (e.g., "? space-age") if you also want the mod to be usable by vanilla Factorio.

Works great, actually!

Thanks.

This would be nice to have.
