I was talking about another crash of the simulator with Jarg in the modding discord and he has created a pull request on your side for the fix for that, so maybe that also fixes this.

Edit:
Nevermind

I was messing about with creating tips-and-tricks simulations for my mod and was trying out the game.simulation.write method which lead to a crash to desktop.
Trying to get a minimal reproduction for it to report here I stumbled on some other weird behavior. With just story board:


game.simulation ...

+1 for the unified "Id = true"[]

This is a follow-up from a bug that Rseding partially fixed back in May.

When placing tiles over cliffs that collide with them some cliffs are removed. Others aren't.
It does work correctly when placing from the editor. So I assume Rseding only fixed it from there. But I'm not sure.

setting apply_projection to false on the main graphics doesn't fix the problem, unfortunately.

WaterReflectionDefinition with the rotation as defined bellow, don't seem to select the same variation frame as the main graphics when rotating, even though the number when the number of variations is the same so I would expect them to rotate the same way. The four cardinal directions work fine, but ...

I hadn't even considered low power state but after testing your workaround a bit, low power breaks it, unfortunately.

Do you reckon making an interface request for a flag to match the animation with crafting progress would have a shot at being implemented?

Thanks for looking into it and provide a workaround. I did think of it being a floating point error, but had assumed that internally crafting time would've been converted into ticks and thus be discrete numbers not taking into account that the progression is actually what drives the animation logic ...

I was working on synchronizing an assembler's animation with the crafting and kept finding that the animation keeps drifting.

Repro:
I've modified the chemical plant's graphics to include the frame count (see attachment) and the the animation speed to last 1 second. Furthermore I've set the ...

But shouldn't the game prevent you from placing the tiles under the cliffs since they collide? Just like you can't place buildings on cliffs.

Edit, my assumption is in line with the current behavior of other collision layers.
If you set "object = true" to concrete collision mask you don't remove ...

But the cliffs shouldn't be deleted in the first place, right?

When placing tiles that collide with cliffs, some of the cliffs disappear.

Repro:
Modify concrete collision and ensure entity collisions are checked:


data.raw.tile["concrete"].collision_mask = {layers = {ground_tile = true, cliff = true}}
data.raw.tile["concrete"].check_collision_with_entities ...

Hi,

With the addition of tile_buildability_rules mods could create all sorts of mixed environment buildings. One of which is buildings on the water edge. For this it would be great if you added support for underwater_structure/underwater_pictures in the graphics for more entity types. Currently the ...

If you add the following modifications to the assembling machine prototypes:


data.raw["assembling-machine"]["assembling-machine-1"].collision_mask = {layers={}}
data.raw["assembling-machine"]["assembling-machine-2"].collision_mask = {layers={}}
data.raw["assembling-machine"]["assembling-machine-3 ...

Yeah, that's a better idea, I guess

The exact same property name as on creation.

Or if you mean that animation prototypes are missing from runtime entirely, you should rephrase your request to ask for that.


Yeah, the animation prototype is afaik missing ...

What do you want to use the frame_count for?


I posted another interface request for pausing/restarting animations . In that thread I talked about a script work around. That solution requires the frame count such that you can calculate the frame the animation should be at.

The code is still ...

I'm trying to get the number of frames in an animation. It's stored as the frame_count property of the animation prototype but I believe there's no way to get the prototype of a LuaRenderObject.

There's neither a LuaRenderObject.prototype field nor a table in the prototypes object that contains the ...

Hi,

I wish there was an easier way to pause animations of LuaRenderObjects.

Setting the animation_speed field to 0, jumps the animation to the first frame and later if you increase the speed again the animation jumps to the frame as if the animation was never paused.

It is possible to account for ...

I noticed in an on_research_finished event that the event.research.technology.level is one too high for the infinite research.

I'm not sure if this is related to this report or if this has any practical effect, besides modding but here's a repro:
