Hi!

Could you automatically load a file at the beginning and users would make a symlink/hardlink to the export file?
This would allow to automatically load blueprints at start instead of copy/pasting.

Thanks!

-Ability to save/load data between games - requires the user to unzip the mod and launch a script (linux and windows) I like this! Would using hardlinks work in place of the symlink? Hardlinks don't require admin privs on winblows Yes it does! I assumed it required admin rights as well! Thanks!

Yay, library with functionality! Advanced stuff like "Astar pathfinding", "UI templating and automation" would be surely of use. Not everytime, but whenever there's need for them, these functions will be a huge boon. Someday I might even use the library with those. And documenta...

Hi, I am making some sort of "standard library" for modding, and i would like to know if you minded sharing the whole serpent->gzip->base64 stack? i found a pure lua gunzip module (https://github.com/davidm/lua-compress-deflatelua) but i could not find the deflate part... I need it to mak...

Hi, i try to build some sort of a library to ease creation of mods , and i would like to integrate your invisible train stop and dupli_proto function, would that be okay (with proper credits obviously) ? Yes it's right for me. Send me a link when it's published, I am interested. Pre-published there...

Hello everyone! I made a library that i think(hope) could interest some of you: -Core: -Debug log functions with log levels, buffer, log table as well, including self-referencing ones -Routines that doubles as timers -Ability to save/load data between games - requires the user to unzip the mod and l...

No, i meant programatically get the CPU load, in a mod. There's nothing like that on http://lua-api.factorio.com unless i'm missing something?

Thanks for your time

Using coroutines will likely break MP games due to desync... I thought the bitop stuff was already present (vague memory - have a root around on _G)... For getting tiles in area, you could use these from any LuaSurface: .get_tileproperties(x, y) → TileProperties Get tile properties. .set_tiles(tile...

That's not possible. You can work around it though, at least in single player. Have your mod write to the file via serpent.dump to let's say output.lua Create a symlink or the Linux equivalent in your mod folder pointing to output.lua Now you can do something like: variable = require "output&q...

Hello, Could you add a cpu and memory properties to the game object please? It could be useful to implement "smart" coroutines for heavy calculations, it does not need to be precise, just an indication like low, mid, high. Is it also possible to add integer and bit ops to the lua VM? It co...

Hi,

You also forgot to check if there are any blueprints for thge printer

printer.lua
line16 : if (outInv[1].valid_for_read) or (inCopies < 1) then return end -- previous output not taken away!

Hi, I just tested your mod, and it seems really nice! But: 1-in data.lua copyPrototype should not be declared as local. 2-In digitizer.lua, the function onTickDigitizer seems to be called before onBuiltDigitizer which raise an null pointer exception : line 191: if not pairedEnt.valid then Enclosing ...

Hi, Thanks for the mod, it's very nice. However in control.lua function loadEntry, you need to flip the lines setting icons and those setting tiles, otherwise it fails with this message when a blueprint is only tiles (ver 1.1.9): Blueprint icons cannot be set on an empty blueprint. stack traceback: ...
