I think docking spaceships in Space Exploration mod - is likely the most interesting feature that hooks me up to SE.
Hovewer I found myself struggling between
"Should I play SE? But I want thouse new planets and SE is an ovehaul it might conflict with them..."
and
"Should I play planets + Space Age ...

You'll see this little image of Alien Artifact...
It was in (much) earlier version of the game (which I also played and liked).

But inside game, I never could ...

I don't know for details (which is why I don't implement it myself), but there are mods that do trigger on blueprint placement.
Notable example is: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/belt-turner

I've tried to look into it... well... lots of code, but only one event:
script.on_event(defines.events.on_pre ...

Nowdays it's quite easy to do with ChatGPT. Just ask him what you want to do and he makes all the code for you. It is very aware of Factorio API in most cases

Idea on an example:
1. You place some blueprint with fast inserters.
2. This logistic network doesn't have fast inserter, but it has simple yellow ones
3. A special notification asks you if you want to wait or downgrade now? You confirm...
4. The mod replaces fast inserters with yellow ones
5. And ...

Tier 1: A player could place a ghost of this inserter (or inserter itself), when he does a dialog looking like constant combinator appears.
In that dialog by default set signal "C"ount = 1

So then if this inserter moves an item it decreases the counter. When counter is zero the inserter is marked ...

Wouldn't that be great to have a save file just a few ticks before the game crushed because of mod error?

This seems counterintuitive... How could we "undo" last few ticks to restore all the game state to that point in time where the game was still be playable.

This might seem hard to implement ...

Hi there!

I bought Factorio here on factorio.com site before it came to Steam. And not only for myself but for my kids too.
So... will I be able to buy the expansion here?

There are some mods doing this already. Some of good ones are hard to find, because you just don't expect it from mod's name.
Here you go:

By the way I also posted simmilar request a little earliear:

This much just sounds like evolution as a pure factor of distance?

Exactly.

I can explain why this approach is really good at least in some cases.
This will be much different gameplay.

Detailed explanation for "why?":

My kids are playing factorio and there are some common issues i want to ...

Well... I don't know deeply how to implement it - i've never modded enemies, but I suppose that it will have almost no impact on performance.
- First create say 5 or 10 (setting) copies of each spawner type in game. Each spawner type will be for evo level (Lv1 - Lv5)
- Now each spawner can only ...

i'm fine with mods, i tried without any mod of my own, i thought it wouldn't matter , then maybe it does, but now i definitely think there is a problem in the blueprint, i see the updated book and to me it's only one blueprint inside , in the second position , the filter made of 4 combinators with ...

Are you using mods ? when i tried to import the blueprint it only import 4 combinators connected and 2 constant a little aside, and it's telling me "unknown signal note interface" or "unknown virtual signal name".

I wanted to see if there was some difference with the book i used, which is similar ...
