Yes, I think that controlling the schedules would be the best thing to do for my case. I downloaded a mod which enables LUA combinators, I can use them to control the schedules. Otherwhise, I thought about creating a new type of "special" stations, with an additionnal GUI. The GUI could co...

Still nothing... does anyone konw how to do that / if that's possible ?

Ah, OK, good to know

Yup, found this too while looking through the wiki. That's sad

I'll try something else, but I first have to find how to open a GUI when left clicking an entity which does not have a default GUI.
I still did not get any info about how to do this on the wiki/forums.

Yesh, thanks for you mod vzybilly I had a look at the code, that's smart

However, why is there no function associated to the event on_save of the game ? The maps are not to be saved with the game ?

Nice! Hope to see how you did that ASAP

vzybilly : the number I show you is the one I got by typing a command to get the energy roperty of a train which was running. If the train is stopped (no coal inside), the value is 0. It is possible to get/change the values in game, by using the selection. I get inside the train, run it, the zoom at...

Hi,

I wish to create some kind of rail signal, but which could be controlled by some signal (as it is the case for lamps, etc...)
Is there a method/member of rail signal entity types to control the said signal state ?

Thanks for your answers and help

Glad to have been able to bring my modest contribution

OK, so I had a look and confirm that the game crashes if the train does not have any fuel_inventory_size parameter set. (I changed energy_source to electric type) Also, I guess that the train says it is not plugged to the electrical network because it is not placed on the map, but on a rail segment....

Yes, indeed, solar trains may be an easier solution... This doesn't seem realistic in any way, due to the power required by an electric locomotive. But if I don't find a way, then I'll turn to this, definitely.

If I understand your code, it makes all trains in the game work with unlimited energy. Nice workaround, but I do not like the fact that it is free energy. You don't have to provide electri energy, charge traines, etc... Did not have time to dig further for now, I'll tell you when I have something do...

Thanks for your answers ! Adil => I removed the whole "energy_source" tag before creating the electric one, so yes I guess that the fuel_inventory_size tag has been removed with. I'll have a look @ the log when coming back home. Vzyvily => Parhaps I can make an item which makes the train c...

Hi, I am trying to create a mod so one can use electric locomotives instead of "diesel" ones. As it is not easy to make electrifiable rails, I planned to do a locomotive which could "store" energy with batteries (same behavior than the roboport) when in stations, and then use it ...

I get it ! So the signal restored is the lone signal, and the other one increase without any reset. This indeed correspond to the behavior I get.

So this really is a bug I guess that there is no valid reason for #1 to have its input lost for one cycle.

Hi, I updated to 0.12.4 today and experienced a strange combinator behavior... With a single image it is a bit hard to explain, so I updated a video showing the bug you can see here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D1kUhnfFb8 Here are the repro steps I found : first, setup a 3 combinators loop whi...

Thanks TuckJohn

I'm currently working on it to do some changes in the behavior (blinks when %age is under 15) and to optimize the number of used combinators.

Ooooh yeah really nice idea TuckJohn !!!

Yes, his design is really clever (although the manner it is presented in this topic does not really please me, whatever) So I was right in my guess of how you used the combinators, this is the first thing I wanted to do too, but I was stuck due to the fact I was troubled by the fact the signals foll...

Hi, while working on my seven-segment display connected to the tanks (so I get a large number of lights close to each other), I noticed this graphical issue : http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/902812lightbug.png As you can see, a seperation is clearly visible between 2 portions of the terrain. Of co...
