[0.11.x] Belt Utilities

[cullyn]

let me find my hosted code and make the changes posted above.

Edit: i see people with more knowledge than me have taken a look. Thanks guys.

I am sorry, but I've got an issue that I can't trace down to who's causing. Kovaerx thinks it's an issue on your side, but I can't confirm. Could you please take a look at https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =30&t=8492?

Thanks for the mod by the way. I love using it in specific situations where I save belt lanes instead of building a whole new one =] I love to save space!

Edit: Ignore my post, just saw even kovarex posted the solution here!

I updated the main post with this download link, and rewrote it a bit.
Thank you everyone for the support; a special mention to WonderDog for the code and of course Kovarex for giving this tiny mod his time!

I love the idea of this mod !

I thought there should be something like this while watching a YouTuber mess up a build...

I might give it a try now that I'm starting a new 0.11.19 map

Author can you make compatibilty with belts and splitters from dytech transportaion (new dytech) and bob logistics - may be as separate mods, I would be very grateful

Unfortunately I have zero time and even less skills for modding, I just mantain the post. So if anyone posts an update/upgrade of the mod I'll link it in the main post, but I literally cannot do it myself...

Well. It must be said that I'm new to this community, as you can probably tell, but I know my way around coding and I've got a little bit of experience with Lua. All of the source code seems straightforward enough, anyway. Let me see what I can do.

Hi everyone!

I'm going to release a new version when 0.12 comes out, but it's going to be a break from the previous version as I'm not including the divider-style entity, as its behaviour was always a bit hackish and had some visual bugs. On the plus side, I've got these things working properly now:

Using the same technique I can also make a single-tile entity that will block one lane while allowing the other to pass, but I don't have a sprite for it yet.

I'd like to thank Cullyn, WonderDog and FreeER for updating this mod, and CorrettoSambuca for maintaining this thread.
I'd also like to apologise for my god-awful onLoad() script, I was very much learning as I went when I did it.

Changes to belt mechanics in 0.12.0 have completely broken the method I was using to block lanes, it may take a while to find a viable alternative.

Can you please also change the name of the mod file to be the same as the thread name (I think it's more fitting and it will help with finding the thread when wanting to remember what it is from looking in the mods folder - like I just did...)

tnx

[buder5]

i realy hope you can make it to the 0.12

Hi everyone!

I was thinking about this - you could take one side of the spliter and color it half gray to represent the side that is blocked. Then if the user changes the blocked side you change the sprite to the one with the other side is gray

What do you think ?

This mod does indeed work with 0.12.2 perfectly for a new world (divider style as well which I personally love). Unfortunately, when you try to load it into a word that has already researched the technology you get an error (line 3 and 4 of the migrations file needs to be updated; see below) but when this error is corrected the recipes don't unlock if you've tried to load this mod before. I had to do some save editting to get it to work.
from:

Code: Select all

  player.force.resetrecipes()
  player.force.resettechnologies()

to:

Code: Select all

  player.force.reset_recipes()
  player.force.reset_technologies()

[GotLag]

It doesn't work. Dividers and separators both function as standard splitters. This mod functioned by changing the splitter hitboxes, and since 0.12 items on transport lanes are not subject to collisions.

[Phe0n1x]

Gah! I thought it worked when I saw the items pass through the new splitters. I'll have the other topic removed.

[Skellitor301]

Hope this mod does get updated for 0.12, this would be very useful

[jockeril]

bumping to request update to 0.12

Hi,
Is there a GitHub repo for this? I am interested in contributing.

There were no results found in the search I did in GitHub. Why don't you get the latest version and upload it there, then do what you want to do and release it in a new post (and don't forget to mention it here please )

one more bump on fixing this thing
