Trying that in x=1,1000 loops says it's dirt cheap.

This hack wins the interwebs

I see now, interesting. How expensive is pcall as far as performance goes compared to directly calling a function? I have been warned away from using errors as control flow, but in this case it may be your best option.

I did some quick tests, and pcall with an error seems to take about 40 ...

Data-library is the currently in development branch and is very much wip and data-library-wip is/was the OMG I am breaking things every time I type branch. (Actually I only did this branch because symlinks and I didn't want to update a bunch of mods until I was mostly done with it)

Most data ...

Desync is caused by research progress frame. Feel free to remove that mod and set it on fire.

It is a lack of time / still broken kind of thing.

What bob i saying is..... If the only argument passed to a function is a literal string or literal table, the parenthesis can be omitted

function "string-arg"
function {}

is the same as

function("string-arg")
function({})

The second, if you initialize global variable this way, it will be reinitialized for anyone who joins the multiplayer. You need to initialize your global in on_init event.

Assuming "if you initilize global variable this way" means from your example _G.global[v] = blah

in multiplayer declaring ...

I agree The two buttons for circuit/logic should have a green background when connected to wires/ connected to network.

A gas and a liquid are both fluids. a storage tank holds fluids. The only way to "fix" this would be a different tanker for every fluid which isn't feasible.

It is truly unregistered and gone. And can lead to desyncs in multiplayer if not handled correctly.

You need to make sure to have a control variable in global and register in on_load if needed.

some_func = blah

on_load -> if global.some_var then on_tick = some_func

on_some_event -> global.some ...

settings.lua is a special file ran in the settings stage which is before the data stage, Simply rename this file (and where it is required from) to something else.

Somewhere before the fluid code then you must be doing data.raw = {} ?

You will have to package everything up so we can take a look

Post the whole code, or at least the whole code that adds the fluid.

you have an entity (car) and a recipe, you don't have an item.

That is a hard crash of the game (still probably related to me doing something wrong though)

Lots of things are currently still broken and on my too fix list as soon as time permits!

logistic_slots_count = 1

needs to be set on your prototype for the filter gui to show up.

Nanobots raises the on_built_entity event instead of the on_robot_built_entity. Since this is the event for a player building something, and it's normally impossible for a player to build an entity that is already connected to a circuit network or with circuit conditions set

This was a toss up at ...

Would you consider adding a remote interface to allow mods to opt-out from the dolly functionality? For miniloaders, which are multiple entities, one of the inserters is the selectable entity, so it can be circuit connected. The inserter can be teleported, and so PickerExtended does, but the belt ...
