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.

You are looking at line 42 in the wrong file.

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 ...
