[2.0.72] set_blueprint_entities makes the cutted entities forget their external wire connections

Relating to https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-402. When using set_blueprint_entities, even without modifying anything, it forgets those wire connectiong going to external entities.

Re: 2.0 / Missing Important tech on my current game only.


Usually, techs "disappear" when there are modified/replaced by a mod, which is subsequently deactivated.
If you started playing with a mod that changed or removed the tech, and decided to deactivate that mod, then you get this result.

Can't guarantee it's the root cause though.

You can also run migration code in the on_configuration_changed event after checking if the buggy version of your mod was NOT installed

Also pyrawores does that with e.g. aluminium rock. It's basically a very low spawning probability

Re: resource_autoplace_all_patches noise-expressions with identical regular_patch_set_index influence each other?

You should use some regex for the string which will be replaced. In the base game, the rq values are 1.10, not 0.11.

Did you manage to generate copper at the same spots as iron, but with iron turned off?

Re: Unique chunk ID


Alternatively use x+y*524288 :)
Since the game stores positions as fixed 32-bit numbers with 8 bits for decimal precision, that means the maximum map coordinate is 2^24. A chunk has 32 or 2^5 tiles, dividing one by the other would give a value large enough for every chunk in the game. 2^24/2^5 = 2 ...

Re: How to access the curently configured blueprint


It can be in the cursor_stack, but doesn't have to . It could be in the cursor, but also in inventory, or in another entity.
What i'm think of for the solution is in the on_gui_opened event, if the opened gui is of type blueprint, save the blueprint that you can get from player.opened, and if the ...

Don't know if this is intended, but it breaks functionality of my mod:
When using force_generate_chunk_requests inside the on_surface_created event, the on_chunk_generated event is executed for all mods before all other mods execute on_surface_created.
In my example I assign a surface property in on ...

Re: How do I open a GUI with the radar?


You are wrapping defines.events.xxx in parentheses, thus providing a table when the on_event function expects a defines.events number or a string of the same name. Remove the {} and it should work. (assuming radars even have gui, i don't remember if they do with energy sources other than burner ...

Beacon interface / Beacons without inventory

Similar to the Electric Energ Interface, a Beacon Interface would be nice which allows to arbitrarily set the effects runtime without dealing with module items.
Alternatively or in addition, allow machines that are effect receivers to apply effects on them during runtime

Interesting, I don't get that error. There is still a noise.lua in my installations data/core.

Don't care the missing mods. The error also occurs when only bztungsten is active. Just load the save without syncing. Luckily the error does not occur because of mods interferring each other.
