Then what is the point of cursor_position?

You can fiddle around with replacing of entities to get this effect in a scripted way. It's much more problematic and doesn't really count as an upgrade - you need to replace old entities with new upgraded ones. And then if you have 2 upgrades for example you need entity for each combination. If yo...

Sounds like a stationary car or tank really

Maybe, I didn't mod back then, things have changed a lot since then (0.12 reworked a lot of internal stuff)

If it's not documented then I don't think it currently exists. You can put in a modding interface request for it though and see what the devs say

Prototypes (the code that tells the turret how to be turret) can't be changed after the game starts. So the best way to do it would be to automatically swap the turrets to a new one with the correct range and back as needed. So, no this isn't really something that can happen AFAIK

If I remember correctly there was a mod which put trains and wagons on track automatically. The carriages already snap to the rail, even if your location is slightly off, similar to how the placement works for the player. Carriages also auto-connect when placed by a lua script in the same way they ...

Order strings in Factorio (recipe order strings included) just look at the alphabetical order of them. The generic letters used are just the devs way of having them appear in the specific order

Can you provide the actual code that causing the problem? The error cuts it off.

Well, underground belts can block a lane. Im unfamiliar with how its coded, but worst case, couldnt i modify the underground belt? Keep the collision that stops one lane, and rotate the belt part 90 degrees ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think the underground hood blocks the one lane because it isn't really there, so...

There's an old mod out there for pre 0.12 that did this. But in 0.12 they changed how transport lanes work and the mod stopped being updated. I think the issue is that the items on a belt don't exist like normal items and entities, they only check collision in a very specific way that may make a blo...

Not sure. I've not tried doing much with equipment. You can try to make a 0x0 equipment and spawn it in the grid. Or maybe try making them not use whole numbers (like the player places a 0.9x1, and you spawn in a 0.1x1 next to it)

1) http://lua-api.factorio.com/0.13.8/LuaE ... structible (also see minable below it)

2) I think the only way is to check when a player or robot places something, and see if it is within your no building area

Change "local_player" in that command to just "player"

Yes, it's hardcoded in. The prototypes aren't in the API, you can look them up on the wiki or check the base factorio files. As for how to do this, I think the only way is to separate it into two pieces and use scripting to force the player to use both if them (like the automated defenses won't work...

Gah, that's right! Reset_recipes doesn't enable a recipe, it just updates the prototype. You need to have specific code to enable it (I believe it has to be in the on_configuration_changed event because you need to access the force)

Have you tried reseting the technologies first, then the recipes? I just noticed that you did it backwards in the gif

We understand your process of what you are doing. Now, is the new recipe showing up under the technology? If it's not then please provide the code for the technology prototype

It's set to "false" enabled = "false" So its not enabled by default. It's disabled because it's unlocked by a technology Is it showing up under the technology at all? If it's not in an old world check a brand new world's tech tree. If it's not showing up there then something is ...

Not sure exactly, check if the entity is valid first and by itself (nest everything inside that if statement)
