When reporting bugs, please always include a game version.

Sorry, may mistake. It was late when I sent this, so I forgot to include the version number. But it happened with version 2.0.55.


I see the return value of the transfer_stack has changed between 2.0.47 and 2.0.55: in 2.0.55 it reports ...

TLDR
It seems LuaItemStack::transfer_stack() will always return true if LuaItemStack::can_set_stack() would succeed – even if no items have been transferred.

The problem:
LuaItemStack::can_set_stack() will succeed if the given stack can be used at all in the given inventory. For example, it ...

I have little programming experience and some essential mods have not been updated for 2.0. How difficult would it be for me to update these mods myself for use?
… Modding usually require expert knowledge about game engine, and upgrading someone elses obsolete mods require you to know even more ...

Thank you, this looks very promising!

for example, if the original recipe had the "circuit-network" subgroup, i want the copied recipe to have the subgroup "circuit-network-rcomb". all of the rcomb recipes are going to sit in their own tab.

If you really want to create a new tab (next to the vanilla tabs "Logistics", "Production ...

Maybe set group to an empty string


That wouldn't work. Run the command from my first post, then enter the following:
/c requester.sections[1].group = ""
This will remove the group name from the section, but the group is still available in the "Change logistic group" GUI: vehicle_logistics ...

We can easily define logistic groups:

/c p = game.player
pos = p.position
v = p.surface.create_entity{name = "car", force = p.force, position = {pos.x + 5, pos.y}}
requester = v.get_logistic_point(defines.logistic_member_index.car_requester)
requester.sections[1].set_slot(1, {value = {type ...

… So I want to heavily recommend it but not force players to keep it active. The workaround is to make it optional and check by script if it's installed and display a message if not. That's... ugly.

I'm in the same boat with my mods Autodrive and GCKI (both not yet updated for Factorio 2.0 ...

It seems you need to specify more than just "same-force" (either in flags or in entity_filters/entity_type_filters). I've added "any-entity" to flags:

I've started the game and built the stone-furnace. Then, I used /c p = game.player; p.force = "neutral" and ...

I really could need this for rendering Shortwave radio channel names on vehicles in Autodrive ! Since the channel names can be comprised of comma-separated signal strings (each as "name.quality.count"), rendering the text directly is impractical (too long, not localized, not human-friendly ...

Thanks a lot for these additions!

You can define new prototypes in the data stage. They must be based on an existing type/class of things, where each type/class has certain properties that you can use (see here for a list of all prototype types).

There may be different prototypes of each prototype type/class. So the easiest way to ...

Looks like this …

It seems there is no solution. When I wrote the following directly in the game file
__base___/prototypes/entity/resources.lua:

minable =
{
…,
results = {"uranium-ore", "stone"},
…,
},

I got an error:

Failed to load mods: Error while loading entity prototype "uranium-ore" (resource ...

I'd say you can't, you have to work around it. The events on_pre_player_left_game/on_player_joined_game and on_pre_player_toggled_map_editor are your friends …

I made a couple of edits:
table.insert(data.raw.resource["iron-ore"].minable.results, {type = "item", name = "stone", amount = 1})

But as a result, only the content of the error changed:

Idea2:
Check with surface filter around the player location every tick, but might be a bit resource intensive.


If you really only want to react to players standing on top of rails, it would be ...

Can you post a save file and steps to reproduce the issue as you're seeing it?


I started a new game without mods. Used SHIFT+CTRL+E to open the prototype browser, then clicked on the first visible link (which was to the prototype of the first custom-input, crash-site-skipped-cutscene; any other ...
