[2.0.55] Modding - Non-Square Machines, Fluidbox, Rotation event

What you expect:
The machine - non-square (rectangular) crafting machine with fluid_boxes and fluid_boxes_off_when_no_fluid_recipe = true
The machine can be placed, and if you try to rotate it, it doesn't rotate (conventional behavior for assemblers), and does not raise on_player_rotated_entity , or ...

Re: Allow 180 rotation of rectangular crafting machines after placement

In 2.0, a setting on assembling-machines was added:
fluid_boxes_off_when_no_fluid_recipe which is default false. By default, a non-square / rectangular assembling machine with fluid boxes can rotate after being placed.

Re: Breaking changes: aligning furnace.cant_insert_at_source_message_key and the rest



2) ' If you want to change it to a localized string, it can't be called a key anymore. '
I don't understand this statement. Yes. Changing the type permitted changes the type permitted.

Can't be called a key. Because it's not a key. And right now it's called a key.

Yes, and that's why any ...

Re: Breaking changes: aligning furnace.cant_insert_at_source_message_key and the rest


It receives a parameter from the outside. How do you suppose that should be passed to a fully specified localized string?

Hence also the word "key" in the name of the property. The key being the name of the locale string it uses to look it up. If you want to change it to a localized string, it ...

Breaking changes: aligning furnace.cant_insert_at_source_message_key and the rest

A small discrepancy in some of the new localised things for furnaces, and maybe other prototypes. It was decided they used plain strings, omitting the table of localised strings.

Considering localised strings in the regular use has tables, I think there should be an alignment one way or the other ...

Change rocket-silo.lua to check for normal rocket-silo

A simple change would allow for modded, but freeplay-based, games to use rocket silos for other purposes, without triggering the win condition.

On line 33 of rocket-silo.lua, there's:

if not (rocket and rocket.valid) then return end


These lines could be added, underneath:

[2.0.28] discrete steps on a modded slider don't re-gain control

Related thread: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=87600

A bug arises if a slider is set to be from discrete values, set to a min, min + 1 range, and then set again to a larger min/max.

The initial "Not a bug" behavior seems sensible, but the new bug is that setting it back to ...

Re: [raiguard] [1.0.0] Updated blueprint has no entities during on_player_setup_blueprint

I keep coming back to "where's the barrier" when pushing a blueprint from game state into a library?
On the Lua side:
1) we get events for what was blueprinted
2) those things can have data attached, modified, removed, etc.
And this is critical:
3) A script inventory can be created
4) The blueprint ...

Re: closing the modified gui of a combinator plays no sound

Is it possible you're not noticing because the gui is closed during your explicit overwrite? I would expect writing player.opened = something else would play the close sound then, as that would be when the entity gui is closed. And that destroying a LuaGuiElement or a LuaEntity would not play a ...

I'm not sure if I like this specific suggestion, but I do agree Gleba can lead to a "no-win" game, if you're not prepared. Even with my friend and I, one of us was on Fulgora orchestrating tesla turrets to be sent off to Gleba, and we were on the border of sustainability for a while. Artillery seems ...

Re: [2.0.20] Flamethrower turrets do not return oil

The nature of this bug would relate to flame turrets having "twice" the oil they show. There's a fluidbox capacity, and the internal ammo capacity.

Re: [2.0.13] Is "You Are Doing It Right" calculated properly in multiplayer?

I guess that makes sense, if it's only a global counter, not per-player counters. From my view, the "you" gives the impression it's well, you, the singular. Not everyone.
