Yeah, it's great, but the issue is that the circuits require 3 cables, but the factory only produces 2 at a time. Unless the copper cabling factory is running *faster* than the Circuit factory (3 cables/cycle), having more than level 1 doesn't help and it still takes two long-arms to keep the circu...

Just so everyone knows, I'm adding a whole lot more information about prototypes to the wiki, starting by completing this list: https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/inde ... efinitions

And, of course, so someone can revert it if I'm doing this horribly wrong!

The worst timings issue I have is with copper cabling in a level 2 assembler or better in an simple direct Cable-to-Circuit setup. There's always a processing delay because the inserters can't keep it stocked on copper before it's processed. 2.4 per second doesn't seem to keep up with a level 2 fac...

How is your idea different from "make trains smaller and make them not use fuel"? • You can specify what items (and their quantity!) the chest should take. • You can configure your loading station such that the chest leaves only when it got it's items. Stations would send a new chest to t...

"No such node (pictures)" can't be caused by wrong paths. If you get the path wrong the error is: Sprite "<full path goes here, with the __modname__ expanded>" couldn't be loaded. "Solution" has one L, not two. It might be better to put answers next to questions, instea...

I like this idea.

I'm not convinced that means anything.

You may laugh, but you can already have "chests" on belts. Almost.



All that's missing is a way to pause the car.

If a Lua script sets the "enabled" field of a recipe while the game is running, like this: game.player.force.recipes["solar-panel"].enabled = false then: If the player's cursor is over any entity, the information panel under the minimap will disappear and not reappear until the c...

data:extend{ { type = "recipe", name = "crashing-recipe", enabled = "true", category = "crafting", result = {{"iron-ore", 1}}, -- This should be: result = "iron-ore", ingredients = {} } } The above recipe has an invalid result field. Inste...

Neither, it's not in the game yet.

After more investigation, the crash does not occur if the electric-furnace-like entity (called iMod-aquifer-pump-powersink) has either the "placeable-neutral" or "placeable-player" flag. Maybe the game is trying to access the "order" field, which is required by either o...

Fixed!

Believe me, no it's not. And nobody would listen to the "DO NOT REPORT BUGS IN THIS".

I ran into a null pointer dereference crash while trying to make a mod. Steps to reproduce: Download the mod (attached to this post) and install it. Start a new game. Spawn some items: game.getplayer().getinventory(defines.inventory.playermain).insert{name="crash-trigger-entity", count=1} ...

ent1.connectTo(ent2) would need to know the cable type - so ent1.connectTo(ent2, type) where type is "copper", "green" or "red". Well, if we're talking about electricity, it's obvious it's a copper cable. Now there could be a method using the wire type. Or another meth...

And no, they don't produce any more power than normal.

If a player has too many bots, they won't gain throughput from the extra bots, because they'll all be waiting to recharge.

And the branch problem is a different problem entirely.

Escape: Yes! Pressing escape while a window is open should close the window, instead of pausing the game.

Quickbar: I think it's in one of the tips.

Cursor clearing: The right mouse button already has a function - it drops one item, or picks up half a stack, or places/uses an item.
