It does, but only when biters are very close to you. Which they usually aren't by the end of the game.

That's what i meant with " (basicly the info the player already gets shown to the right of the toolbar when biters attack. I guess there's something like an event already in the factorio source for this)" An event that gets triggered the first time the triangle thingy pops up, it already ...

I don't think the onattack event is possible since that's not how the game mechanics work. When biters get the order to attack, they can be kilometres away from your base, and the event getting triggered at that time wouldn't be very usefull. For turrets attacking biters, you could simply use event....

Yeah, unfortunately there is no generic onEntityCreated event. I think finding non-colliding positions is only possible through Lua code, and that can only be accessed through the onEntityPlaced event which doesn't work with capsules.

Which version are you using? I think it's supposed to be fixed in 0.11.8, but I'm not quite sure.

Thanks, now I know where the problem is. Could it be connected with that position-definition below? {event.createdentity.position.x-0.1,event.createdentity.position.y-0.1},{event.createdentity.position.x,event.createdentity.position.y} You could try making the search area larger. As far as I know, ...

It's line 821 in control.lua, which is this: local rx1=(holes[1].position.x-(holes[1].position.x)%32)/32 It seems the holes table is empty, so holes[1] is nil. The holes table is initialized on line 819: local holes=game.findentitiesfiltered{area={{event.createdentity.position.x-0.1,event.createdent...

Not sure about 3+ multiplayer, but 32-bit links are still broken.

There's nothing hard about setting up refuel stations now. Just place a smart inserter taking fuel out of the car at the same time as another inserter will put it in - it will not work until you've got fuel in your trunk, so when it starts working, you'll know that the car is ready to go. Same with ...

Remember that pollution is emissions multiplied by energy usage. If you have energy usage 420 kilowatt and want 3.6 pollution, it's a lot nicer to write "emissions = 0.03 / 3.5" than "emissions = 0.0085714285714285714285714285714286".

The sole fact that with 'very low' setting I do get more than one resource in my starting location is a proof that we are not talking about any kind of 'random' resources generation. That is because the generator uses different settings for the starting area that make resources more likely to appea...

I noticed in some Zisteau videos that also the shift/control clicking didn't work. I decided that this functionality is more important than having the possibility for simple refuel stations for cars, it will be solvable later with better circuit network possibilities. So car refueling is back to ho...

Yes, you can create any entity type with it. Robots, units, assemblers, as long as it's an entity, it can be created.

There is a much easier way: You can clone defender capsules and make them spawn biters instead of robots. No scripting required.

- /c game.player.character.force = game.forces.enemy - /c game.player.character.force.researchalltechnologies() - success (all recipes are unlocked as well) I've been experimenting with Xterminator and this works! Wonderful! Drs9999's way is definitely better since it also unlocks bonuses. Looks li...

As long as the magnet equipment is in the power armour, yeah. I always found it quite annoying having to hold the magnet.

If you aren't afraid of a bit of Lua scripting, you can make three entities. One of them would be the placeable placeholder that could be rotated, and the other would be the two possible orientations of the container. When the placeholder is built, you catch it with the onentitybuilt event, get its ...

With the new 0.11 features, it would be nice if one of the smaller magnets was a part of power armour.

Does that really affect update rate or merely the speed at which things happen in the game?

Put this command into the console:
