i don't have a direct solution but the best choice is to ask the modders directly. in case that issue is caused by the SE mod, your best choice should be to hit the SE modder on his discord (see the mod desc on the mod page).

i agree, it's better to leave it as it is then.
will you link this topic or edit the description on the nessesary lua site in the near future so it's clear that players regard those values with caution? i think, the place where "Encapsulates statistic data for different parts of the game" would be ...

I have to admit, it's a bit confusing.
So, if i input a pizza (piece by piece) into my body by inserting it into the mouth, it processes the pizza and outputs the result of the process.

If it's working different here and it's intended, please add, like Qon mentioned, an information to the wiki to ...

tx, i'll take a look into it.

-edit-
@Bilka's post below: thanks

thanks for the update but how would your command to call it look like? or does "input_counts" yield the correct number?

for vanilla:


-get total evolution:
game.forces.enemy.evolution_factor
will give you the total evolution factor.


-get map settings:
game.map_settings.enemy_evolution.time_factor
will give you the map settings's time factor.

game.map_settings.enemy_evolution.destroy_factor
will give ...

Ah okay got it.

thanks for the tutorial on require and data.lua, i didn't use that before in any way. I'll probably stick to data.lua for now unless i need to add a lot of stuff.

about the "...shape={width = 2, height = 4}" stuff, is there a way to write it in one line while overwriting the listed elements only? e ...

eradicator, thanks for the infos & code. i wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper to just call the code right before going into the vehicle stuff every time as long as i don't need that updated list on other occasions or on every tick.

"You haven't said what the condition is"
what code are you referring ...

darkfrei's mod put out the following lines:
data.raw["movement-bonus-equipment"]["exoskeleton-equipment"].shape.width = 2
data.raw["movement-bonus-equipment"]["exoskeleton-equipment"].shape.height = 4

putting the modified versions (which look like eduran posted) into the data.lua worked just fine ...

as stated in the title, i'm looking for a way to modify the slot size of an armor module;
more precisely, the exoskeleton shall be overwritten to change it's grid size from 2x4 to 6x6

folder state:
base->folder->prototypes->item->equipment.lua (protptypes->equipment folder doesn't work either ...

idk how i could miss the info provided by eduran when checking the documentation myself.
the car part now looks like this:


local characters = {}
for player_index, player in pairs (game.connected_players) do
if (player.character) then
table.insert (characters, player.character)
end
end
--code ...

thanks for the updates, i'll take a look into it.

@eradicator - so you're saying i should rather do the checks force-wise (and mb exclude neutral and enemy)?

about your surface question: i need that surface because i need events to happen on that surface over time and those shall happen on that ...

Thanks for the updates from both of u. I'll mostly end up using both variants (bias wise) in different situations, depending on which one makes more sense for each case.

"just select a random player"
i didn't check that case for the previous code from yesterday but wouldn't it be generally ...

thank you very much for the informations and the large amount of code provided by both of you^^
i'll try the code later today on when i got the time and report back (or edit this post) if it works or not.
edit: both worked, thy vm

"[...]non player characters from other mods[...]"
didn't think about ...

-edit-
added solved; better way-check array of players for their surfaces instead.


previous short discussion happened on steam forums "steamcommunity.com/app/427520/discussions/1/1651045226224021692/"

As stated in the title, i'm looking for an option to
1) check all existing surfaces for active ...
