I was playing Wave Defense killing spawners, when the scenario suddenly said I had won, despite there being a large number of biters/spawners to the south. Here's the post-victory map , showing all those biters to the southwest. The scenario claimed I won as soon as I eliminated the last spawner in ...

Depending on what you're trying to do, you can modify the damaged entity's health instead, to either undo or increase the damage. E.g. to negate the damage, just add back event.final_damage_amount to the entity's health: event.entity.health = event.entity.health + event.final_damage_amount It's not ...

I'm trying to have the equivalent of a discharge defense/land-mine attack go off on a script-defined trigger (say, when a character drops below a certain hp %). When looking around, I've found plenty of threads on how to define new attack types in the data stage, but I'm not sure how to trigger thos...

Now that I've had the chance to actually play a game with the new sounds, I have some mixed feelings. In many cases, the new sounds are an improvement. I like the changes to nuclear reactor setups, accumulators (especially accumulators which were incredibly noisy pre-0.18) and some other things. I d...

Since 0.18.2, whenever a player is killed by biters, they continue playing their new sound on loop (which starts to overlap and get distorted) for the full ten seconds of the respawn countdown, even on single-player when there's nothing else around. I'm not sure if that's intentional, but it's odd t...

I think you're trying to reference the base mod's sound files, correct? If so, don't you have to point it at base? Without that, it's looking in your mod for a demo-sounds file. From the breaking change thread: local sounds = require("__base__.prototypes.entity.demo-sounds") This worked fo...

We made 0.18 a major version because it will break mods with all the changes we are making, and while initially it hasn't broken that much, many things to come will have a bigger impact, such as the Character GUI. Does this mean that later 0.18.x releases will break mods again? I think you should t...

This all relies on, as others mentioned, API stability. Wube is of course free to follow any versioning scheme you guys want, but I'm personally a fan of SemVer. I'd like to see API backwards compatibility be preserved between any 0.18.x version, until a 0.19.x comes out, at which point you may int...

I think a big question is: what does the post-1.0 landscape look like? Will there continue to be major refinements to the game, with potentially game-breaking changes, or are they going to be the more minor sort once official release has passed? If it's the latter, then a multi-version system doesn'...

Was looking forward to many of these improvements though I’m also surprised it was released so early. From the change notes (haven’t played .18 yet) I don’t see the new character GUI listed and I imagine that will be one of the more noticeable breaking mod changes (if the new logistics system remove...

The https://mods.factorio.com/mod/MoreAchievements mod has a set of the bases in the graphics folder but I don't know the licensing around them.

Hey, really enjoying the mod so far! Ran into an issue however, maybe someone here can help: I use IR together with the AAI Industry mods + a few others and I am unable to start research on the High performance engine. It lists Steel age as its only pre rec., which I have researched. I tried consol...

Then look at efficiency modules and air filters. I haven’t damaged a single tree with pollution in my current play-through and I’m working through the Chrome Age. Preventing it from being generated helps slow evolution down as well.

I try to find this: Why cant I plant the sapling and help to grow a forest? There are a way to do?

They need to go into a greenhouse, and you need like 20 or so to start the first grow cycle.

Just 10.

Do the new explosion effects and particles apply to modded assets? For example, if someone creates a new entity with graphics in a mod, are they able to pre-pick existing smoke/wood/metal particles or will they have to create all new particle animations? What's the default going to be? (I suppose cu...

You could, but I don't know if you need to. I have a regeneration feature in one of my mods and if you just batch them all every 5-15 ticks (for aggressive regen) or 30-60 (for slower regen), it should be "good enough". I don't think most players will notice biters individually regeneratin...

Krastorio holds the IR/Krastorio compatibility patch. It looks like someone has already reported it to the Krastorio devs.

Update: And it's fixed. Grab Krastorio Legacy 1.4.45.

I got this working for multiple surfaces, but only a single player force. (My mod doesn't support multiple forces in general yet, so this would be OK for now.). Sharing my solution out in case someone searching for this later wants a starting point. function onChunkCharted(event) if event.force.name...

That would be a lot smarter. For some reason I was thinking I needed the lua equivalent of a hashset.

on_sector_scanned might do the trick. This event only fires for radar. I'm trying to find chunks charted by non-radar characters. Booted up the game. Each time a radar scans a chunk it fires on_sector_scanned. Each time a radar scans a new chunk it fires on_sector_scanned and on_chunk_charted (in t...
