In the prototype explorer I verified that the module in the beacon has category=speed and tier=4, and that there is no other code affecting beacons.

To accompany this report I am attaching a draft version of PlanetsLib with the relevant code included in `data-updates.lua`, which reproduces this ...

Tserup and I wish to add graphical visualizations for tier 4 modules in the vanilla beacon, for the benefit of the Cerys and Frozeta mods. I tried using the following code, but it seems to have no effect. Could support for this be added?

I received a report for my mod that a recipe whose results contain an item with amount_min and amount_max shows in the GUI as the average of both, e.g. '4x Bioflux'.

Combined with the fact that the recipe Factoriopedia entry does not reveal the min and max values anyway, this seems a bug. I also ...

Thanks, that does the trick.

This request may sound odd, but it seems to opens the door to doing powerful things with GUIs.

As you can see from the attached video, it is possible to make seamless intersurface portals using GUIs. However, the effect of the user changing their UI scale has on cameras means it cannot be made to ...

It might be nice for mod developers if they had a way to view what proportion of recent players have any given value of a mod setting.

The Cerys mod uses a rendering created by rendering.draw_light to light the entire surface instead of the engine's day-night cycle. This causes a issue with use_rich_text=true text renderings in which icons such as [item=processing-unit] are unlit and display as black, as observed in the attached ...

Nice.

I am not sure that a ‘stop’ feature is worthwhile. It seems to raise the possibility that another planet has stopped the music and it is still stopped when the player arrives at my planet — else, if it automatically resumes when changing surfaces, this still introduces footguns when returning ...

Cerys would like custom music to start playing when the player begins launching the hydrogen nuke into orbit to complete the planet.

play_sound does not currently support overriding the music track and would need some extra functionality for this: the currently playing music track for players ...

The previous designation Not a Bug should probably be adjusted, since that the 12 inventory slots limits what the recycler can output even if no more than 1 of those slots is actually occupied by an item.

The issue seems very intermittant. I experienced it all day but only for about 4 days this year.

Note that I am using a standalone client.

Yes, that affects their positioning within rows in the tree views, but not their grouping in the list view nor their positioning within those groups.

The order field on science packs affects two distinct UI:


The order in which the science packs are displayed in the 'unit' of a technology.
The order in which technologies appear on the technology list.


Before Space Age, there was little reason to make these behave differently (and in fact a ...

Bumping this with a polite FYI. I’d like to point out that tens of thousands of players are running find_entitites_filtered on every space platform above Cerys, Rubia, etc multiple times per second due to this missing API, which hurts performance of modded games.

Since (as mentioned above) cargo ...

This is not really a bug report but this is the closest forum I could think of.

Most tiles in Factorio have a nice graphics set — however, the graphics for rough ice and for most types of snow have some tile transitions that are miscolored red. Tile transitions are hard for modders to make, so if ...

Checkbox setting is a bad idea, belt building is a high-complexity system that needs to be fully stable before considering forking all the behavior (not to mention all the corner cases two systems would create when interacting with other systems in the game).

When I hold any key (like 'A' to move), Factorio can under some conditions fail to suppress the native system accent menu on MacOS (version 15.6), which appears in the top-left above the game window (as pictured). This should only appear when writing text.

I sometimes use the debug setting show-debug-info-in-tooltips to know the internal name of a prototype on hover, but this doesn't work for planets and space locations (in Factoriopedia or the starmap).

I suppose this request should have been in this thread: viewtopic.php?t=129837

In Cerys, higher-quality towers have a larger heating range. For the player-constructible towers that the player can hold in their cursor, the current value of radius_visualisation_specification.distance is 15, which matches their actual heating range at Normal quality, but not higher qualities.

At ...
