Hi,

I've not played in a while (1+ years) and am going to play with Space Age for the first time.
I love Factorio and have done multiple Py / Krastorio runs, So know the game well.

I was hoping to get some suggestions of current mods I should include. I don't like to add/remove mods during a play ...

Okay, I got the mod loaded.
Now, for some reason, most, if not all the items the mod adds to the game show up from the start of the game. Even though the research has not been done and the "recipe" is enabled = false till researched.

I can craft them from the start, but no items appear once ...

Thanks Silari, this put me on the right track!

Thanks Silari,
Okay got past that, now got something new.

It's been a long time since I've coded and will need some help. Not sure what's causing this issue.

Hi,
I've been away for some time and am trying to get back into Factorio.
I'm trying to port my mod over the Factorio 2. (Not Space Age currently)

I'm getting the following crash that I'm hoping someone could help me with.
It's on the "control.lua" portion, when reading from a Library mod. Not sure ...

Thanks Deadlock989

Thanks Bilka!

Hi,
Just seeing if anyone had any advice on how to check if a hard coded entity in a table exists, during the Control phase.
Thanks.

Okay, not exactly sure how to do that.
I tried the following, but that gave me an error:



NE_Enemies.Settings.NE_Biter_Breeder = settings.startup["NE_Biter_Breeder"].value
NE_Enemies.Settings.NE_Spitter_Breeder = settings.startup["NE_Spitter_Breeder"].value

NE_Enemies.Settings.NE_Biter_Fire ...

Hi,

What's the best way to ensure that my enemy units don't hurt each other, but do hurt the the player and his stuff?

I have an example below, where I've placed a force several places. Over-kill, but not sure where the best spot is.

-- Stream Spitters - Fire Streams (hydralisk)

Hi,
I have a function in Control that randomly selects a unit to spawn. However, there is an option to remove enemies from the game, so they will no longer be valid entities in my table. How can I check to make sure they exist?

Here is my function with enemy possibilities that I need to check for ...

Thanks Tserup!

I'll definitely ask for some of your help in the future.

Thanks for contributing to the Factorio community.

Thanks for looking into this, really appreciate it.

Sorry for posting it as a bug.

Hi,

I have a bit of a weird bug report here. I recently updated my mod, adding in a some new graphics.
When loading the game with the new graphics, Natural_Evolution_Enemies_1.1.21.zip, the game does not get past 9% loading.

Hi,

I’m hoping to get some custom Enemy graphics.
I’m currently using some StarCraft graphics, but ideally I’d like some custom graphics that fit in better.

I saw Tserup did some great work, but don’t have his contact info.

Any recommendations to get some?

Thanks

Hi,

It's been a long time since I really did any modding work and I can't seem to find the log that the game generates with all the Entities and their properties.
I think it was a text file that contained all the entities and properties/flags of the entities. Do I need to enable it somehow?

Could ...

I found the issue.
I installed this de-bug mod, and it caused the issue.
"_debug_1.1.0.zip"

When deleting this, it works.
Not sure why this caused a crash.

Thanks for looking into this.

Okay, so I had a little more time to test.
It seems that the culprit might be Bio_Industries
(Yeah, it happens to be my mod... )

The mod does not crash by itself, but with all other mods running, it is... not sure what interaction would cause this.
Hope this helps.

I've narrowed it down to one of these mods causing the error.
Ran out of time to determine who the culprit is...

Here you go.
