Re: Mod Portal Feature Request: show dependency graph
+1 To be able to see on the mod portal all mods that (optionally) depend on a mod. Even if it's only visible to the mod authors. A simple list of mods is fine. And maybe it's easiest if it only checks the latest version of said mods. My use case is that there are a few reports of players installing ...

Re: Help dividing entity stats based on existing entity stats
If you look at the actual data you're trying to use it's not really a number but a string "90kW". You van find it here , or in your game files. So you need to convert it. Luckily Factoeio provides a tool to do this. Remember, you'll to convert it back again local stone_furnace_power = ... ...

More information on game.set_game_state
https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaGameScript.html#set_game_state There is very limited information about this command in the docs, and I thought it might be useful to add some after creating Better Victory Screen . I would propose something like: game_finished: Triggers the "Game F...

Re: Best practices for setting player speed?
Hello! Not sure about the running_speed_modifier. Might be if other mods might change it after you do. A trick you can use is to add an invisible sticker to the character. Similar to what slow-down capsules do, except to increase speed. The tricky part is managing it though. Is it automatically crea...

Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints
Can't wait to use this in bot-malls and train stations! I do have two questions though: What happens when you specify 3 parameterized ingredients, but the recipe only has two? My hope would be that the third is silently ignored. Can you please turn the tiny checkmark button into a big "Confirm&...

Re: Exclude entity from mining productivity
I was looking into this for Biter Power as well where I didn't want the Egg Extractors to be affected by mining productivity. I left it be though, because thematically it still works in my case, it just made scaling the "mining rate" harder. If possible I would still change it back to a fl...

A note that might fit the context better is:

Re: on_player_placed_equipment does not equipment is inserted by script
I understand and agree that it should be evident by the name that it doesn't support scripted events. And adding a note just for this little instance is a gray area at best if it's needed or not. If this won't be added that's completely fine. It depends on the goal of the docs, and how much clutter ...

on_player_placed_equipment does not equipment is inserted by script
Some modders might use on_player_placed_equipment as the catch-all event to keep track of equipment changes. However, this might be misleading because it does not handle cases where equipment is changed through script, which is not explicitly mentioned in the docs. Modders might also be more incline...

Re: Idea for factorio space expansion: Turret modes and defensive designs
It's likely that Space Age's turret will be similar to Space Exploration where only astroids that will hit your ship (or get close) will be targetted. Turret zones would be useful though to not let all turrets fire at the same astroid, and ignore others. But the effect of this will be small I think,...

Re: [1.1.94] Custom rail map colour doesn't work
Ah yes, that does work. But unfortunately that of course changes all rail colours regardless of prototype.
Guess this is more of a Modding Request then to allow the rail prototype to specify the map colour
