What happened:

Calling `/c game.player.selected.order_upgrade{force=game.player.force, target="fast-underground-belt"}` on an underground transport belt marks the entity for upgrade but does not mark its neighbor.

What was expected:

Calling the above command marks the entity and its connected ...

I originally resisted because I liked the flexibility to do weird stuff. But I've since found ways to do stuff I need without using this function. Well that and now resource.deplete() exists so I'm happy.

I'm okay with removing it now.

This is a bug with mods that use insert() to perform actions. To achieve the desired effect, the mod has to target the correct inventory.

Are there any other mods that make good use of Angel's ore sorting besides Bob's? I really like the idea of requiring advanced processing to get access to other materials and Angels does a great job at this, but I'm craving something other than Bob electronics or the rest of those mods.

According to Posilla, it's possible to create a second layer of an image and use additive blending. I would love to see support for tints > 1, such that rgb = 2 would produce a white silhouette of the original image. It's not quite a HSL option, but it's close and would allow changing the color of a ...

There are some cases where I need to check if an entity is fully powered. get_energy_ratio() would simplify the check to simplify a comparison like this:

if entity.prototype.electric_energy_source_prototype then
if entity.energy == entity.prototype.electric_energy_source_prototype.buffer_capacity ...

Thanks!

Module 3s in general are a trap. Too lazy to crunch the numbers again, but a rocket is worth roughly 50 module 3s. They're a nice tool for a megabase, but at that point the game changes quite a bit. I wouldn't worry too much about vanilla balance. Leave that to mods.

I guess is what I want is animation_match=target so something animates as its target does. I think.

If the horizontal position is rotated with the entity, and the vertical position is offset regardless of rotation, and the animation matches the entity it's attached to, then it should look correct. I may be able to make the wheels rotate to point at the vehicle in front so it looks neat during a ...

What happened:
rendering.get_all_ids() returns an array of sequential numbers equal to the length of valid ids.

What was expected:
rendering.get_all_ids() returns an array of valid IDs.

Case:
ID's 1-2, 5-8 are valid.
rendering.get_all_ids() returns 3 and 4, but omits 7 and 8. If I don't check is ...

tl;dr

I want to be able to modify sprites by changing hue, saturation, and lighting levels. The existing tint options only makes sprites darker and this is very limiting.

tl;dr: Similar to LuaEntity.destroy() (for finite resources), but also raises the on_resource_depleted event for the marked entity.

Use case: Nougat Mining turns ore in the ground to items on the ground marked for pickup. Currently I call raise_event if the ore runs out. With this, I wouldn't have ...

This is already possible. surface.create_entity{name="item-on-ground", position=target_position, stack={item="iron-plate", count=100}} works just fine.

For example, Nougat Mining has this as a hidden config option by editing the variable at the top of control.lua. You can switch to generating items ...

Here's an example of what I'm doing, v is the vehicle (tank), w is the wagon:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/306402592265732098/695703249050796173/unknown.png

What I expect to happen is the wheels to animate as the wagon rotates, but do so such that they remain at the front of the wagon ...

Having tinkered with oriented_offset, it doesn't seem to do what I'm intending it to.

If target and orientation_target are the same, then the rendered object isn't rotated about a point as expected. If they're different, then it's rotated about the target based on the position of rotation_target ...

What?
Give modders the capability to make graphics render in a way that rotates properly as the entity rotates.

Why?
Cars need wheels. Wheels have to be offset, but this offset changes as the entity is rotated. rotated_target_offset would prevent this:

I subscribe to the thought that less clicks = better. Merging request and trash slots feels like it added at least 1 extra click to everything. This suggestion would keep the current behavior while potentially reducing the number of mouseclicks.

I can confirm. I was investigating using the roborport toggle as an option to make Klonan's Construction Drones mod better but I could not enable the Roboport toggle. Thus I was unable to make it useful as an option for controlling construction drones.

Idea:
Toggle mouseover displays some ...

TL;DR
Faster/more accessible logistic requests, support modifier keys


What ?
* Clicking outside of the box is equivalent to clicking the green check mark. Only the X or esc cancels creating the slot.
* On mouseover of a logistic request slot, open the expanded pane for that logistic request ...
