The description says it's used in ALL stages - settings, prototypes (data), and runtime (control). The description of the for_player parameter explicitly lists the other stages.

AFAIK that non-equal check is for the QUALITY of the yumako, so its filtering for non-common yumako to the right side. Its all common, so none is going to the right.

If you want all yumako going to the right regardless of quality, there's an 'any quality' setting.

decorative_removal_probability is only on Tile prototypes, not entities.

Entities have remove_decoratives and rail prototypes also have removes_soft_decoratives

Are you sure it wasn't the game-wide setting for spoiling rate being changed? That wouldn't show up on the item, since it's not a change to the item. If it's EVERY item, that's likely the cause.

For now, there's options for transparency and scaling in the mod I wrote before disabling blinking was an option: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/No_Power_Icons . I added it because people requested it specifically for making recipes/filters visible.

Are you saying you want production to work the same way as now, except that items with a lower quality than the cap...just don't get produced?


OP asked for the other way around. If the cap is set to rare, and an epic part was rolled, it would be reduced to rare instead. They did not specify ...

Hi, Can someone explain this part to me?

local resource_autoplace = require("resource-autoplace")
...
autoplace = resource_autoplace.resource_autoplace_settings({ ... etc ...})

where does that "resource-autoplace.lua" file come from?


It's part of the base game. There's a few lua scripts in ...

Those are chunk boundaries. When they move into the chunk outside the radius where they're active, they stop moving, so many can pile up at the boundary.

Neat. Looks kind of like a miniature bastion fort.

Like how a single fish can be currently inserted into a space-age rocket to trigger special behavior


I got curious and so I launched a single fish into a rocket silo and launched the rocket to a stationary platform above Nauvis. I didn't notice anything unexpected. What is this special ...

I don't see anywhere in that code where you add it to the planet's autoplace's specification, to allow it to spawn on that planet.

for instance, for Homeworld the sand-source resource needs to be added to nauvis before it spawns there:
data.raw.planet.nauvis.map_gen_settings.autoplace_controls ...

Did you try a filtered deconstruction planner? Should be able to spread that over everything in your base and it'll get marked.

is this mod dead? i cant load the mod in 1.1 due the bob's mining needing 2.0.. i cant load both at the same time but i need them both, is there another way to play the mod


Needed versions are still on the mod portal. You can download the required version manually, or delete the installed one ...

Far as I'm aware it's not possible to make a gun that doesn't require ammo - presumably because some portions of it's attack is based on the ammo used.

You can make one that doesn't CONSUME ammo by setting the attack_parameters.ammo_consumption_modifier to 0. It still needs ammo in the gun but won ...

What's considered a raw material is whatever you can't craft by hand, or can't be crafted by the machine you're currently interacting with. This is why it shows steel bars as raw material for a solar panel, despite those being made by iron plates.

Batteries can't be made by hand because they ...

Chances are one of your mods has disabled the biter egg research without removing it as a prerequisite for promethium research, though it also could've been some other tech one of the mods added as well.


You can try hitting Ctrl+Shift+E to open the prototype explorer , selecting 'technology' in ...

Presumably you could do this with the quality_indicator_shift attribute on the entity prototypes, though I've never messed with it.

Not sure on icons though.

So, from what I understand,...

Autosaves should be shown in the load menu. You might want to move the corrupt save to another directory, to see if maybe it's preventing Factorio from reading the rest of the files properly.

Sounds like a problem with one of your mods. You should probably remove them.


Mods shouldn't be causing the game to crash regardless of what they're doing, only causing an error. Something else is going on.

And the first error message shows up after loading core, which is part of the game ...
