Create train. Add schedule to train. Switch train from manual mode to automatic mode.

on_train_changed_state will now fire twice. The first will correctly include event.old_state == defines.train_state.manual_control and correctly changes the trains current state to on_the_path (or no_path or ...

If a train's schedule entry is dragged without actually changing the schedule, on_train_schedule_changed event gets fired. Dragging can be as little as one pixel during a misclick.

Minor issue, but I'd expect the event to only be fired when something in the schedule actually changes.

In prototype stage, resistances.percent are on a percentage scale, 0-100.
In runtime stage, resistances.percent are decimal fractions, 0-1.
This either needs to be changed (which obviously may break things) or at least be clarified in the docs that runtime resistance percent values are not actually ...

I want to use rendering.draw_animation or rendering.draw_sprite to draw my own copies of entities. Currently, the only way to get those graphics is by iterating entities and copying their graphic information into an animation/sprite prototype during data stage.

I would like LuaEntityPrototype to ...

Searching the prototype docs for braking_force ( braking_power ) or friction_force ( friction ) do not give any results since those properties are listed as an "either/or" property and are not the primary.
Those should still show up in the search results and lead to the same link as the primary ...

This seems like an XY problem anyway. The real request here is to make trains teleportable across surfaces, isn't it? I'm not sure how doable that is, though.

Linked rails have been requested for years but the implementation is a nightmare (see https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=527469 ...

I'm requesting that LuaTrain.kill_count and LuaTrain.killed_players be writable.

When rolling stock is added or removed from a train, the old LuaTrain is invalidated and a new LuaTrain created with kill_count successfully being carried over to the new train. However, I am teleporting trains across ...

I'm getting inconsistent results from the in game profiler depending on the game.speed setting when using the profiler within an on_tick event. Running with game.speed = 1 is resulting in profile times 2x higher than when using game.speed = 1000. The profiler is .restart() and .stop() within the on ...

Event script_raised_built can have an event property of `mod_name` when calling `script.raise_script_built` from a mod. This doesn't seem to be documented anywhere and at least should be listed under `script_raised_built`

I tried all 4 combos of enabled/disabled cache-sprite-atlas and compress-sprite-atlas-cache, including restarting the client after changing the settings each time. All results were the same, the black line remained.

Config file attached.

Looks like a mod changed the thread title but I need to clarify - this line appears day and night regardless.

Also there is 1 chunk boundary that always has a line while an adjacent chunk never has a line while the others only appear when I'm moving south.

Video and save file attached. Line is appearing at the chunk boundary just a few tiles south of the starting position.

When a player mines an entity, on_player_mined_entity event is triggered but the undo/redo stack is not updated yet with the newly mined entity. This causes a problem if the entity being mined has custom tags.

I found the crash can be avoided by setting the trains speed to 0 before setting the train to its intended speed, even if doing so is done in the line previous to setting its actual speed. eg.
This will crash in Space Exploration's code:

train_a.speed = -1

This will not crash ...
