Yup, all sorted now, tyvm.

Ah, I see. I hadn't actually been looking at LuaEntity at all, guess I was kinda approaching this in a lazy way. Thank you for the answer.

currently trying to get the following code to work:
if entity.type == 'car' then
entity.surface.create_entity{
name = buffed_name,
position = entity.position,
quality = entity.quality,
force = entity.force_index,
snap_to_grid = false,
fast_replace = true,
spill = false,
raise_built = true ...

Does this problem still apply if, rather than selecting from the recipes menu or by pressing q over the entity, you instead use a copy selector on it?

I have some experience with working on a mod that does similar things to what you are describing, ie: changing the effects quality has on an entity ...

ah yeah that's probably a workable idea @BraveCat ty ty. this would probably only be for myself anyway, so UI being wrong/inaccurate would be ok.

I do hope quality effects are made visible/moddable in the future tho, cos yeah this solution would not be reflected in the quality stats visible in ...

I'm looking to make a mod that changes the effects of quality on certain entities. For example, I would like to change Big Electric Pole so it gets no area increase with quality, and instead drastically more wire reach instead. But, I have no idea how to see, or change, what the stats of an entity ...

Incorrect. Assigning a drop order to a specific planet works fine. I said so, multiple times. Have you tried it?

As previously stated, this drop order specifically, doesn't drop the rest of the items, onto any planet. It only drops that first buggy 10stack load, onto any planet. The rest, does not ...

You can do it. When the platform is actually at Nauvis it drops all the science perfectly fine. That part works perfectly fine.

If you wanna test, that same save can be used to send the platform directly to Nauvis, where it will drop all the orange science currently on board. The Landing pad is ...

What did you do?

My cargo platforms have a sciences 'flush' order. This is all sciences I am getting from other planets (Metallurgical, Electromagnetic), set to 0 minimum and maximum, Nauvis, and 'any' as the quality.

The other orders handle all quality ...

Good trailer, but, I kinda also prefer the style of the 2020 trailer someone linked. There were no words needed then, or now. Do you guys perhaps have a version of this trailer without the narration that you could release as well maybe? Then everyone can be happy.

Also the Mech Suit in the trailer ...

Can we also just get an option to set what the default is, for train limit on a newly placed station, and the default enabled state (enabled/disabled)? I've wanted it to be default enabled, and set to 1, for forever. Every single station I've had to make since the train limit setting was introduced ...

It can and it has been. Check out the newest version. I had this on my todo list already and finally got around to implement it.


To be clear, it hasn't. You implemented a setting to conveniently turn Spidertron Roboports off while moving . (I think. I don't actually use that mod, but that's ...

That is what I ended up doing, yes. Yeah, I dunno how or when I'll edit that stuff in, now I get to learn how to edit a wiki as well I guess :p, but if I get my own stuff working it may or may not be soon.

Edit: Oh, yep, worked like a charm, first time :) ty guys for all the help. And gals if ...

items are first sorted by group (which are sorted by their order), then subgroup (which are sorted by their order), then order.


Can anyone edit the wiki? Cos that kind of information would be great on the wiki page for order, that sort of specificity about the whole process is completely ...

Well, regarding them having the same string, as I said, no string I tried was doing anything yet. As in, they were not changing order relative to the rest of the inventory either. Once I got something working, then maybe I would have bothered sorting blueprints before reds. Maybe, but that was never ...

Hi, so, I'm attempting to change the order of the blueprints and similar items in inventory. As in, how they are sorted within the player's inventory. Currently, I'm using lines like these below, but whilst they compile fine and the game loads them just fine, nothing about the ordering of the items ...

Hi,
I'm no expert on the mods in question, but the syntax you're using to modify entity properties seems wrong.

Below is some lines from my own mod that alters the vanilla construction robots, so this may serve as a guideline at least, for the general syntax the line should follow, and possibly for ...

Add "Depot" station name with "iddle" condition. It means train should go to "Depot" station when no other valid destinations in list. Exit condition may be empty because nowhere to move anyway. But may be used for fuelling purpose for example.


You don't even necessarily need an idle station ...

Had a long spiel about train 'skipping stations' conditions. and trains fuel being a condition parameter we can use. forums logged me out before i could submit it, EVEN THOUGH I LOGGED IN JUST NOW SPECIFICALLY TO WRITE IT, so now my awesome reply is lost. thanks

I'm not bitter, clearly. I spent 5 ...

Don't forget that you can rotate pump-jacks.

Yeah, that's why I specifically indicated on that image, the points you can't rotate to.

Without some restrictions the game would be too easy

To me, it's not about easy or hard. Right now, I am working on a massive train map. Space, is not a ...
