You can copy storage with LuaRemote if you have both mods enabled.

/c __mod1__ remote.add_interface("mod1 getter", { getstorage = function() return storage end })

Code: Select all

/c __mod2__ storage = remote.call("mod1 getter", "getstorage")

Yes, you must use the on_tick event to get input from a circuit network.

Output must be a constant-combinator where you set your processed signals.

In Space Age, rocket fuel has an infinite productivity tech. It will always beat solid fuel when you get productivity high enough.

Even in vanilla, it's possible to get rocket fuel productivity up to +40%, where it beats solid fuel.

Have you tried installing the Linux version of Factorio in WSL?

Yes, underground belts blocking half a sidebelt has existed since the very first version of Factorio.

It was originally caused by item collision boxes. When item collision boxes were optimized away, they still kept the behavior.

The tooltips are wrong, do not try to match them.

The actual effect does not use any rounding in the calculation.

Don't forget that even an unbiased output will exhibit a random walk: on any given run, the imbalance is expected to grow as the square root of the number of samples.

For a specific example, if you recycle 1 million processing units, each with a 50% chance to generate an advanced circuit, you ...

The way most mods do it is create a storage.custom_fields table in control.lua that maps entities to custom fields.

You then need to update the table whenever an entity is built or destroyed.

How about a different "name"?

Try giving the recipe and item a different localised_name.

events.on_tick is very cheap, don't worry about calling it every tick.

Of course you should try to minimize the work you do every tick. Reading a single table index is a great way to do it.

You are looking at line 42 in the wrong file.

Can you do it in data.lua?

data.raw['planet']['aquilo'].map_gen_settings.autoplace_controls.aquilo_crude_oil.frequency = 10
data.raw['planet']['aquilo'].map_gen_settings.autoplace_controls.lithium_brine.frequency = 10
data.raw['planet']['aquilo'].map_gen_settings.autoplace_controls.fluorine_vent ...

You need to set that in data.lua.

Code: Select all

data.raw['entity']['nuclear-reactor'].allow_run_time_change_of_is_military_target = true

DaveMcW

Code: Select all

/c entity = game.player.selected
entity.is_military_target = true

Ctrl + Alt + Click on Settings.

Click The rest.

Click both sprite-altas checkboxes.

This makes startup slightly slower the first time, then much faster every other time.

I am trying to make a plant type of "Flaming ashland tree". This requires the fire stateless_visualisation_variations to change position as the tree grows.

Please scale the stateless visualisations based on a plant's tick_grown.

The Factorio engine does not support object-oriented programming.

You can't extend an entity. And you can't use "instance-of" with user-defined entities (because user-defined classes are impossible).

Lua does allow you to use object-oriented patterns, but it only works in your own mod and can't ...
