find_tiles_filtered A small request for clarification on "force". Tiles don't have forces, and a tile ghost is a LuaEntity (as well as a decon proxy). Is force used in the context of returning tile ghosts, tiles with deconstruction proxies? -- edit (boskid): Note: `force` parameter is onl...

Clever use of already existing module information... Came to request an "allowed_on" type table/flags, but this is more consistent with how the API already works (module category already exists, and comparing crafting_categories, that is *categorical*, not a list of machines_that_can_craft...

Hi, I've stumbled over More Achievements which adds achievement graphics. Credit to Bilka for some of the art and keeping the mod up to date for 0.17. A folder called graphic bases exists in the source repository but maybe you should ask Bilka for permission if you want to use them? They are usable...

tile-ghost is missing from LuaSurface.create_entity [1.1.78]

What happened: Game crash upon inserting 'regular' item into Blueprint Book inventory Reproduction: /c local player = game.player local cursor = player.cursor_stack cursor.set_stack("blueprint-book") local inv = cursor.get_inventory(defines.inventory.item_main) local inserted = inv.insert(...

Subject says it all: using a force_index for surface.find_entities_filtered is an error: "bad argument #3 of 3 to 'find_entities_filtered' (string expected, got number)" These do not work: surface.find_entities_filtered{force = 3} surface.find_entities_filtered{force = {player.force, 3}} T...

One way to prevent this is to check the player controller before making the GUI to open. Another option is to check if player.opened == the element which was just assigned. Theoretically, there is no "perfect" way to detect an element closes, or is even *destroyed*, considering any mod can...

I'd like to request "official" versions of the gears used in achievements, for modders to use. They're baked into game graphics, so as far as it seems, the only way to "get them" would be to compose pieces from different achievements and hope. If modders could just have some grap...

Expectation:
1) turn on GUI inspector, do anything that can be undone
2) Inspect the Undo button
3) shows button style

What happens:
3) shows Undo tooltip, without background frame

If all the undo's are undone, the inspector works

Expectation: If I don't have enough of an intermediate craft, orange is shown (unsatisfied but craftable) What happens: If the *excess* of an intermediate craft satisfies the requirement, it counts as crafted? data.raw.recipe["iron-gear-wheel"].normal.result_count = 2 mod: crafting_overflo...

Thanks!

What I did: data.raw["inserter"]["burner-inserter"].stack_size_bonus = 4294967295 What I expected: Error: "stack_size_bonus must be smaller than or equal to 254.000000" (1 + 254) = 255, same error writing the force inserter bonus What happened: situation 1) inserter sho...

I have a few threads, particularly in modding api requests, which i can say are "solved" / "no longer a request". It was mentioned to me by a user that i could request a thread be moved, but I feel in err to use the normal report reasons. The posts do not break the rules... But i...

I found out I can! So I made a mod for it (Larger Shortcut Icons)! This request can be moved to a graveyard.

What I expected: to be able to set a localised_description or 'effect_description' on modifier effects. Particularly turret-attack. Why: I can dynamically make a new turret in data, but there is no way to add a correct localised_string for the description. They are fixed to {"modifier-descripti...

Expectation: 1) press a movement key while one does not have permission to walk 2) no movement 2) release movement key 3) permission is allowed again (group change or permission change within group) 4) press same movement key 5) start moving What happens: 4) press same movement key 5) no movement 5)...

(was requested to split from another post) Expected: heat pipe to rotate if loader direction rotates Following this post: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=105438 heat energy does work, but, apparently, the heat pipes don't rotate with the loader even though the direction changes after placing and rotating, c...

(was requested to split from another post) Expected: an existing loader to migrate from electric / heat source to fluid (I think it affected both) Following this post: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=105438 It doesn't: One of the original states: local es = { type = "electri...

changing a string-setting to a color-setting does not reset the color to default (there's the button for default'ing, thankfully)

Other issue: other values (string, number) are not an error. I'd expect them to be.

Some observations: The buffer fills twice for loader energy usage. Specified buffer_capacity is ignored and is set to a small value? (15kJ -ish per lane? something * energy_per_item per lane?) data-final-fixes: local es = { type = "electric", usage_priority = "primary-input", -- ...
