The case darkfrei is asking about is a prime example of when NOT to use table.remove(): it is not needed, it is slower than setting the element to nil (significantly so on large tables, which triggered him to post here) and it is used in on_tick. There is no shared data at all during the control sta...

In that case you have to provide a screenshot or blueprint or save file for anyone to be able to figure out what is wrong. Setting inserter filters works perfectly fine for me.

I'm using only one element per game tick and the order is not important. But on the next tick I need the next element and it must be some function get_first_element (elements) for i, element in pairs (elements) do local holder = table.deepcopy (element) elements[i] = nil return holder end end You d...

I really enjoy watching trains zip around in map view. Anyone willing to share gifs/videos of that? Below are 3:30 minutes of my trains doing some heavy-lifting (at 7x speed, so the gif is only 30s long).

The LTN-Station output combinator shows the cargo the stopped train should have when it leaves the station. For a provider, that is the shipment. For a requester it is usually nothing. That is why you need to use both the output combinator, the station itself and an arithmetic combinator. Have a loo...

It's the same as data.raw["movement-bonus-equipment"]["exoskeleton-equipment"].shape={width = 2, height = 4} Yes, in this case. But your version will set all other properties stored in 'shape' to nil, while mine leaves them intact. It is safer to just overwrite the properties yo...

Only data.lua / data-updates.lua / data-final-fixes.lua run automatically during the data stage. To run any other file (like your equipment.lua), you need to tell Factorio's Lua engine to run it. That is done with -- in data.lua -- assuming you have equipment.lua in /my_mod_x.y.z/prototypes/ require...

Those that need help and ask for it owe an explanation of what the mod does to those that have the knowledge and skill to help you. Trying to make us work for you without revealing the purpose is a cruel joke you play on us, the community. Some have fallen in your trap because they are very good pe...

Trains without schedule in automatic mode have a state of no_path instead of no_schedule. Additionally, they switch to path_lost and back to no_schedule every 128 ticks (identical to #69772 ). You can use the same save and procedure as in my report #69772 . Just remove the only entry from the train'...

Setting the shape for the item does not do anything. Only the equipment prototype has a shape property: data.raw["movement-bonus-equipment"]["exoskeleton-equipment"].shape.width = 6 data.raw["movement-bonus-equipment"]["exoskeleton-equipment"].shape.height = 6...

is there any more effective way to check it other than the following code?

Select the target player in whichever way you like and check the vehicle property of the player.

table.remove is used to remove an entry from an array-like table without leaving a gap. t = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'} -- same as {[1] = 'a', [2] = 'b', ...} table.remove(t, 1) -- removes 'a' and moves every following entry down by one for k, v in pairs(t) do game.print(k .. '=' .. v) end -- prints 1=b, 2...

Use pairs() unstead if ipairs(). Why? See https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaCustomTable.html and https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Libraries.html for _, surface in pairs(game.surfaces) do if surface.find_entities_filtered{force = "player", type="character"} then game.playe...

Will be fixed in 0.1.10. I thought I had uploaded it yesterday, but apparently messed up. I will try again when I am home

This version loads, but I can't promise it will work properly.

You must have missed one "width = 0".

A bit more complicated. In prototypes/display.lua find if invisible then -- invisible.additional_pastable_entities = {"smart-display"} invisible.minable.result = "smart-display-visible" invisible.picture_off.filename = "__SmartDisplayRedux_Fixed__/graphics/empty.png" in...

That's a 0.17 classic Delete every line that says

Sprite width and height can no longer be zero in 0.17. You need to replace all instances of "height = 0" and "width = 0" with "height = 1" and "width = 1".

You are need to find and replace "textfield_style" to "textfield" That is not correct, you need to replace every instance of "textfield_style" with "textbox_style": type = "textbox_style" -- good type = "textfield_style" --bad There were a...
