After making over 40 mods, i thought it was time to write down what i've learned. 1. Don't use deepcopy on base game files Other mods that got loaded before yours and don't respect point 3 might have changed them and suddenly you have to deal with the new update-target not being compatible or other ...

biters dont give money anymore? xD
thanks for ruining your scenario so my mod looks even more compelling

from my ingame tests (0.18) it seems to be slightly more than 0.84, more like 0.8407 ...
and your base may only consume 69.99% of your solar panel's production

and you still haven't added a grenade arc

Since 0.18 i think, the ammo_category of all weapons is nil game.print( i.." "..tostring(gun_inventory[i].prototype.name)) game.print( i.." "..tostring(gun_inventory[i].prototype.attack_parameters.ammo_category )) game.print( i.." "..tostring(gun_inventory[i].prototype....

wow ... i stripped everything except the animated dummies and when i spam rockets it TANKS the performance... whats going on here??
they are type explosion with huge collision boxes (like 128x128 or so).. i can upload a demo tomorrow... i think you might find this interesting

sorry i meant bilka.. wasn't very concentrated after splitting 4 spritesheets into 16^^ but i'm still glad i didn't have to use them... still the solution isn't very elegant to use the collision box for that because now i can't really make my scorchmarks collide with water... w/e doesn't look so muc...

when i create the offsets by using a shift in the sprite, everything is synced. But when i do it by declaring offsets in the create-entity trigger action, often something will be delayed by 1 tick. Screenshot_2.png source_effects = { ... { type = "create-entity", entity_name = "MCRR-u...

ok then its just a little bit ridiculous that we waste our collision box for that..^^

It's now the third time i'm struggling to create an entity that is so big that it causes glitches when the player moves out of the sight range. I wish there was a parameter for rendering distance or drawing box (not this useless (?) thing: https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Entity#drawing_box) My w...

this is a huge problem for modders... i wish the drawing_box property did fix this..

i created an additional script that iterates over all my units and re-assigns commands if their current command type is wandering (is this new that we can read their command? if so, thank you)
it might not be perfect but for me it works like this..

try the following: 1. add force = "not-same" to the area action of "explosive-cannon-projectile" (safety first^^) 2. the vanilla min_range of "explosive-cannon-shell" is 5, so we'll set our projectile_creation_distance of the "tank-cannon" to 6 OR: 2. the vani...

it's pretty unusable.. i'm serious .. sorry :/ especially it should be structured in a reasonable way .. maybe some kind of virtual sandbox where you can just put something together, seeing what goes in where... and the descriptions are not always too comprehensive btw: the force: "not-self&quo...

i'm glad you didn't change the inventory/controller gui, would have been a pain in the butt to calculate the new dimensions for my market mod...

i had this script: variation.trunk={layers={{ filename = "__robot_tree_farm__/graphics/dugup2.png", priority = "extra-high", width = 51, height = 38, scale = 0.5, frame_count = (variation.trunk.frame_count or 1), tint= {r=0.7-0.5*i/(TREE_LEVELS/10),g=0.7-0.5*i/(TREE_LEVELS/10),b=...

oohh wait
i think i changed my force when i tested it..
sorry.. really embarassing

not sure if this is intentional, because it seems to fix my other request https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=71527 ("blueprint allies"), but when i place a ghost by script and assign a force, and that force is not "enemy" (which all ghosts currently run under), ...

that did the trick, thanks
source_entity always seems to be correct

hmm the event doesn't contain a "target" or "target_position" variable.. am i doing it wrong? (it does seem to trigger for every target) { type = "direct", action_delivery = { type = "instant", target_effects = { type = "nested-result", action = { ty...
