At this point, I believe the debate has devolved into semantics. I think the most important fact from the discussion is that the general idea is good but not well-executed. I am going to take another stab at this, rewrite some of the behavior, then we can resume yelling. ;) ok, and sorry if I seeme...

the other problem to that solution is that having a 1 wide walls doesn't show properly, and 1 wide gaps don't eather Anyways, in the next version, this is all sorted out ! Can't wait! I really like this mod so far and I was hoping to make an underground area mod myself but I'm still learning how to...

I just don't see the reason why to use those charged batteries since nothing else in factorio works like that. I'm going to have to disagree with you, the way I see it, this mod makes entities that run the same way logistic robots works : by having internal batteries and going to get charged when n...

How is this going to give me the entity objects? Yeah, sorry, Actually, I think that items on the belts no longer are entities and getting the positions of items on the line is not possible (well I think, getting the index is, but not the world position) Sorry, but I don't think what you want to do...

Great mod! I've found a way to fix the cave walls in your mod. In the tiles.lua file, set the layer for the "caveground" to a lower integer than the "cave-walls" layer. I just swapped them around to test it out and it works, just the tileset for the walls needs to be completed. ...

Frankly, I changed some of the values in your mod for me because the way you had it, it felt useless to me as not only creating charged batteries take an extremely long time, but then you also need 10 of them for one single mining drill and that drill then didn't even last for 3 minutes. I changed ...

interesting way of handling mining with robots :) huge advantage ? all ressources are compatible ! which wasn't the case with MoMining When I'll be done with my Nestt play, I'll use it for sure (I hope by then the graphics for the logisitc mining drill will have changed !) Afforess, I think you shou...

Assembling machines cannot (yet) be connected to any network, if you really want it to be, you'll have to create a dummy entity, that will be connected to the networks, and then, with some code in Control.lua, you'll have to work some magic to link the two entities

I would suggest looking at the get_contents() function from the LuaTransportLine class

I trust you'll be able to find how to get the LuaTransportLine item ?

ok, when I'm done with the current changes I'm making to my mod, I'll take a look at it !

(if someone does it first, I won't though)

what do you mean you cannot smelt raw wood ?
just add a recipe with crafting category set to smelting and you should be good !

I don't really understand your first point, for the rest, I think it could be quite easy !

I intended to do a mode like that for some time now, just after I'm done with my subsurface mod !

(Yes I love to play with surfaces, so what ?)

I would obviously use some stuff of my current mod, (like the expanding part )

hello, welcome to the modding community, having robots mine ressources has been done, look at MoMining (although, some of the ways it works is really not the propper way) as to multiple inheritence is, as far as I know, not possible, although, you can create a phantom entity to get the functions you...

choose which liquid you wish to burn off, and bask in the sooty orange glow. What ??? I have to chose the liquid I want to burn ? (no, seriously, you could probably make it a furnace type, which selects automatically the recipe (check bob's void pump to see how he did it) also, I guess it needs ele...

I just updated the main post, saying what has been done, and adding some extra information !

please test if this could work for you as elevator - surface-version http://johnsmith.ktec.de/factorio/mods/support/andere/sf_elevator_icon.png http://johnsmith.ktec.de/factorio/mods/support/andere/sf_elevator_over.png this could also break down into the surface and subsurface-variant of transport-...

I've taken in account what you said and made a new version. Now the walls you can dig are more evident I also added a small perspective (top walls are bigger than bottom wall) It's also a bug-proof tileset (texture can overlap to make walls like with this snail like shape in the image) I've put gim...

This is my form of contribution to this mod, basicaly, I've done modified a bit the textures, added missing ones and modified layers so : ground is now under walls walls are now smoother Subsurface_0.0.3.zip well, thanks, the graphics looks nice ! but, walls being under the ground was not a mistake...
