Trees don't actually get damaged (as far as 'damaged' is concerned for events or health points) when burning. They merely progress through the progress variable and then (based on an internal random chance I guess) either remain as completely burnt tree with progress 3, or are deleted from the game....

There are two connected issues here when editing an existing blueprint via the "select new contents" button. 1) After the selection is done the blueprint is already updated and has already been saved, despite the UI suggesting the changes need to be saved and there being a close button in ...

When using the "Select new entities" button for an existing blueprint, mods do not appear to have a chance to adjust the blueprint data on save. in on_player_setup_blueprint the blueprint is not setup, nor valid for read. However the same is true for on_player_configured_blueprint and the ...

I then realised that we could have invisible creatures, for example small non-hostile alien birds in the trees Is it just me, or does that mean a lot more entities, which needs to be calculated and drag UPS down? As for the ambient noise sound, I trust they can be controlled/disabled separately? Be...

I just ran into the issue that the game definitely applied migrations, but then in on_configuration_changed the `migration_applied` member was still false. 6418.331 Applying migration: TestingMod: 4.0.0.lua 6460.499 Script @__silent-testing-mod__/control.lua:122: on_configuration_changed, migration_...

I would also like to see the ability to get a list of electric networks, ideally similar to how you can get logistic networks, which then just group them by surface and have a list of them for each surface. It would also have to allow accessing either the LuaFlowStatistics of it directly from the ne...

That seems to work, thanks

Is there a way to completely remove power usage from a custom decider combinator? I tried setting active_energy_consumption to nil but the game complains. I could set it to a low value, but a very low value will just make the "no Power" symbol appear. It will also still show up in the powe...

While playing on latest 1.1.77 experimental multiplayer earlier today, we had the game crash after killing a mod / scenario controlled entity. We were playing crashsite scenario and upon killing a turret in one of the bases of crashsite we experienced a reproducible game crash. This can be reproduce...

Hosting a local multiplayer ("Host saved/new game") and unticking the save options in the dialog will silently modify global game settings on your local instance of Factorio, in that it will simply turn OFF autosaves globally ! There is no indication that this is what will happen and that ...

I would like to ask about the possibility to detect (via an event) entities that are set on fire. This could be a generic event with filters or an extension to an existing event with an added filter that allows to get entities that are set on fire. Should have filters for entity type and the burn st...

I was trying to detect burning trees / trees on fire / burnt down trees. However it appears trees do not actually take any damage when they are on fire, and the only change that appears to happen is that the debug ui shows that the "progress" of the tree is advanced in increments of 1 to t...

basically I have been doing the following for some time. Eventually you will find a place that is claimed as being a valid position, you will be teleported and unable to move. This might put you at the edge of spawners, barely inside a cliff or into a rock. local function getRandomPositionInDistance...

calling game.player.surface.find_non_colliding_position('car', game.player.position, 10, 1) returns a position that will collide with the car, as evidenced by teleporting the car to the returned location, then attempting to move the car, which won't move. When using a precision of 2 it works, in tha...

Thanks.

I would like an entity to have electric network transport properties (similar to power poles) but without visible copper wire connections. Currently I spawn a custom electric pole to get connectivity to the electric network. However as the default wires have the curved drawing it's getting kind of u...

When opening the Blueprint Library (B) and searching for a certain blueprint, interacting with a result (right click to preview for instance) and then closing the preview will reset the search results and display every blueprint again. The search text is still in the search box and you'll have to ad...

I noticed the last few days that speakers do not appear to be playing the sound anymore. I can wire a speaker to a constant combinator, setting the signal to a value triggering the speaker (indicator lamp changes) and if an alert is configured that will show as well, however the configured sound is ...

I am also quite disappointed with the fluid wagon change, it was a nice and easy feature to easily and compactly transport fluids around. I never used Barrels (wasn't playing before fluid wagons) and haven't bothered with it yet, so can't say how easy that would be to do. Guess one could use the sam...

Not to mention that circuit controlled pumps seem to get pumps stuck regularly, causing the train to not move and the location running out of the resources the train provides. Any chance you are running into fluid being less than 1 (but greater than 0) and the circuit network rounding that down to ...
