@darkfrei
Thanks, Setting the drill active first to false then to true made it get back to work.

@Aeternus
The drills you see with yellow do have resources beneath them (I checked).
Bottleneck shows red when no resources available( and green when all is running OK)

Did some further testing. Looks like it is not that the drill doesn't "see" the ore but that it cannot move it to the belt. Just rotating the drill 4 times makes it work. See the picture, the drill has mined the ore but is not putting it on the belt. The yellow dots are from the bottleneck...

Hi, - I have a mining drill which took all the ore below it. - Put new ore beneath it with "surface.create_entity({name="copper-ore", amount=ore, position={game.player.position.x+x, game.player.position.y+y}})" - I see it correctly displayed, the mining drill shows "expected...

Any opinion on this.

I would like to make a mod like bottleneck(logistics) visualizing the flows in my factory.
Not taking every pipe into account but a user selectable subset.

This update would make that possible.

That's not to bad for my use.

That will give me enough info to work with.
Is it possible to add that to the fluidbox API ?

Hi,

What is your opinion on this ?
Any chance that this can be added ?

Would use it in my modded combinator to show/act on actual flow of liquids in parts of the factory. I know pipes cannot be connected to the circuit network but can work around that issue. In what units is the flow expressed ? Don't see the flow graphics in a tank, is it just to small to see or not a...

In the API a fluid box is defined as A fluid box is represented as a table: name :: string: Fluid prototype name of the fluid contained in this fluid box. amount :: double: Amount of the fluid in this box. temperature :: double (optional): The temperature. When reading from LuaFluidBox, this field w...

That leads back to the issue that the is no mod_data option in an entity to save/provide that info.

I asked for that in this thread "viewtopic.php?f=28&t=57684#p342092

@Rseding91

What is your opinon on getting this in the modding interface ?

Hi,

I think your solution doesn't fit my usecase.

If there is only an identification, the blueprint can only be used in the savegame in which it is created.

Thanks, that was the issue.

Is this the part of the API doc you are referring to ?

Hi, I am trying to update the alert_message of a programmable speaker within a mod. Will use that later on when I create an "own entity" based on the speaker. When running this code with a speaker selected I always get the current value, it never updates. /c s = game.player.selected if s.n...

Found it, and works.

Thanks

Can attach notes to blueprints but cannot find how to use the Attach notes to entities.

Am I correct that I can attach a note to new entities and also to entities already built ?

What would be the way to achieve that ?

Bad luck. Expected to be easy as the create_decoratives() hase the option. create_decoratives{check_collision=…, decoratives=…} Adds the given decoratives to the surface. Each Decorative is name :: string position :: Position amount :: uint8 Parameters Table with the following fields: check_collisio...

Hi,

When running regenerate_decorative on an existing chunk it places new decoratives on top of belts/trains.

Would like to have the function only next to but not over existing entities.

Nice utility, will use it as I agree with the darkness

Pitty that it does not effect the map screen
