Hi All I am trying to control the unloading of a train at one of my stations. The expression I want to evaluate is something like this (where T = train count and B = base count) (Bammo > 500 || Tammo == 0 ) && (BOil > 20000 || TOil == 0) && (BRobot > 50 || TRobot == 0) && (B...

Or maybe it won't work:

Could you post data.lua?

How do i enlarge the texture with code so that it fits the collision box (4 by 4) Take a look at MiningDrillPrototype.animations . This is an array of 4 animations (one for each direction), and you can set the scale factor for each one of those. So something like this should work: local large_drill...

The only reason I can think of regarding other mods overriding the behavior of mine is, my attempt to ensure my mod loads last by appending 'zzzzzz' was futile. It doesn't really make sense to use prefixes like "zzz" for making your mod load last. Other modders may also want to load last,...

… I've noticed there's no way to change an individual ammo item's set range, despite the fact that other ranges throughout the game can be configured with mods. Enabling ammo ranges to be tweaked alongside other ranges (turrets, guns, etc.), via mod config settings, technology upgrades, etc. … You ...

… what I need is a hand to guide where I go from there …

Did you find the Modding tutorial section of the wiki?

I'm attempting to make IR3's Big Wooden Pole entity untargetable for Rampant's AI. Previous discussions show that making [entity] invulnerable is not an option that works well; however, that same discussion failed to note how they made [entity] neutral, which fixed the issue to an acceptable degree...

This is the crashing line: player.print("You built "event.created_entity.name) This should work: player.print("You built "..event.created_entity.name) The '..' is the operator for concatenating strings. Alternatively, you could use this: player.print( {"", "You bui...

The beauty of this is that this will also give you the number of filtered slots if you use '#returned_list'. What would you want it for? Cf. the last sentence of my original post: It would also be easy to choose other approaches based depending on the number of filtered slots returned (e.g. don't l...

Just back in from a nightly winter walk, where I thought about it some more. Getting a list like { {filter = string, slot = uint}, {filter = string, slot = uint}, … } should be easy to implement (the code in my explanations is the Lua equivalent of what should be done in C): -- Returns for example: ...

So perhaps the method should return an array of "{ filter = string, index = uint }", or even simply an array of "{ string, uint }" instead? Why do you want it to be an array so much? Sorry if I didn't get that across correctly: just like LuaSurface::find_entities() returns an ar...

That's a good idea! But I've a question regarding the bots' job queue: Do they get assigned to pick up items from a certain logistic chest, or from a particular slot in the its inventory? In the first case, they'd still get the item if there are several stacks of it, but in the other one, they'd re...

FWIW, you can still do your thing in one pass. You just have to check the chests and manually move the trashed items if they can satisfy your request. E.g. in your example you would trash 200 copper in one tick, then in the next you would bring them back into the filtered slots and request 100 more...

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaInventory.html#sort_and_merge This has the disadvantage that it will sort and merge the complete inventory, which may be a bit obtrusive. For example, as items are provided from left to right, beginning at the first and ending at the last line, players...

What? I'd like to get a method to get the indices of all filtered slots in an inventory: LuaInventory::get_filtered_slots() --> Array of uint Why? We already have LuaInventory::is_filtered() , which returns true if the inventory supports filters and has at least one filter set, and LuaInventory:get...

In such moment i feel like: "why the hell devs cannot add two lines of the code, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" Because someone else would come and complain that they overwrote rescued.zip and spent 300h on this save and now 10k spm megabase is goneeeee. Halp please!!11 Adding a variable prefix/suffix...

Thank you, great news! I'm looking forward to try it out.
