I would like to be able to check if a chunk is currently in the queue to be generated.

I would also like to be able to take a chunk out of the queue.

And while we're on the subject... I'd like an event that fires when a chunk goes into the queue, with the option to return False from the event handler which would cause the chunk to be de-queued.

What's the use-case for this?

I'm working on https://github.com/sparr/factorio-mod-w ... ontrol.lua

I call chunks "master" and "slave" to indicate whether data will be copied from or to them.

When a master chunk is generated, if its slave is in the queue I'd like to remove it from the queue.

When a slave chunk gets queued, I'd like to queue-or-copy the master, and then abort putting the slave chunk in the queue.

Bump?

Another year, another bump! I'm working on fixing some bugs in this mod and would love to have this feature to fix a race condition.
