For now I opted on a pseudo-timestamp solution using game.tick but you can still get conflict with different games if you get real unlucky, that's good enough in my case

Are you looking for the time of day in the game, or the time in the real world? In-game time can be found as a global variable: game.daytime You can read from or write to it just like any variable. It's represented as a number from 0-1, 0 is noon, 0.25 is evening, 0.5 is midnight, 0.75 is morning, ...

There's a free Lua plugin which is not bad at all that you get for free (without any hack) when you get IntelliJ community, that's what I am using, it's working pretty well, it offers all the common feature you have with IntelliJ (which is a long long list that I won't provide here :)) the plugin is...

Totally love this. Hope it will get added into vanilla at some point. Is it possible to add lights to medium and big poles (2 lights for Medoum, 4 for big, so that bigger poles produce more light, and allow to see further) ? Or just light with bigger light effect? I have created medium and large la...

Looking good

Something's wrong with your control.lua file, you should post it here so we can have a look into it.
(apparently around line 3 )

I think what the OP wants to do is a requester chest that can make an inventory of all entities built within a given range (20, or 50 tiles maybe), and request a few of each entity preventively. Like that, if an entity is damaged, the construction bots can rebuild faster (they don't have to fly waa...

I am just guessing here, but I am not sure there's such area you are talking of unless you implement it. If my understanding is correct (and that is a big if), the list should be computed by checking each requester chest in the logistic network. Not quite it. The idea is that the repair chest takes...

I am just guessing here, but I am not sure there's such area you are talking of unless you implement it. If my understanding is correct (and that is a big if), the list should be computed by checking each requester chest in the logistic network. If your chest extends passive/active provider chest, t...

I am trying to find the code for various logistic modes, but I can't find it anywhere. I don't know where to look even. I think I'll have to look at different mods and see how they do stuff. I am not sure what you are exactly looking for, but if I correctly remember TreeFarm's fieldmk2 (or its over...

Thanks Gandalf, I will do a bit of testing research on that (pretty sure I can find a 32 bit based computer at work :mrgreen: ). I am not planning to do a map like system, it's only for a small utility mod I'm thinking to publish soon. Just wanted to have a safe limit as going above would crash the ...

You might want provide us with the error you are getting too :) Actually, no need for it, just checking you code I think I got it: function OnBuilt(entity) -- Temple has been built if entity.name == "templev2" then glob.numTemples = glob.numTemples + 1 glob.factormultiplier = GetFactorPer...

You might want provide us with the error you are getting too

So,

I was generating a new map to do a bit of testing, and ended up with that:


Fortunately, I wasn't planning to build a factory

Hello again, I have done a bit of testing by generating custom maps, while changing its size incrementally to try my 'mod'. After a few tries, I have been able to find out that, at least on my machine (which is more a developer box than a gaming machine), the limit was exactly for a map of 256 * 256...

Hello there, In the base mod I would have a look to the following two files: demo-entities.lua -- modular armors are not in the demo armors = data.isdemo and {} or {"basic-modular-armor", "power-armor", "power-armor-mk2"}, idle = { layers = { playeranimations.level1.idl...

Hello,

I noticed there is a number of kills on the turrets, is there a way to access it through lua modding?

What I am trying to do is a mod which let you put two markers, and takes a screenshot in between these two markers. The main goal is to screenshot a specific contraption or a design. But I would guess some people could use it differently, so I should probably limit the maximum size that can be 'scre...

Hello, I experimenting with game.takescreenshot, and I have already crashed the game few times ( :roll: ) trying to apparently take a screenshot which is too big: 1371.019 Error Util.cpp:43: Unable to create sprite (11232X8928) probably not enough of video memory. 1371.806 Goodbye Is there any way t...
