Personally I just wish it were consistent. I could get behind "you need to go there in person, or have a construction robot dispatched to change stuff for you", and I could get behind "you can do it remotely at will" - both of those sound totally legit - but it's weird that you c...

I'm trying to make a mod that gives some information about the items that are passing by on a conveyor. Unfortunately, it seems like I'm sharply limited in what I can find out about conveyor contents; at best, I can get what's basically an inventory view of the conveyor, which doesn't let me determi...

Moderate performance concern; on my current game, SmartTrains is using 8.5% of the game performance. I don't have a complicated layout, and as I'm writing this, all the trains are just hangin' out at a station or waiting for other trains to move. It feels like 8.5% is higher than I'd expect. This is...

Here's a list of minor gripes I have with the blueprint system, all of which should be rather simple to fix. * Shift-To-Clear for single items When using a blueprint, you can hold the "shift" key to force placement, which automatically marks trees for removal. It's pretty handy! When you'r...

I think it's coded so that a cable is visible only if one of the pylons it's connected to are visible. I saw this first in the Test Mode mod which has modified power poles with insane range, but clearly it can happen zoomed in with large power poles as well.

First, some math: It takes 0.5s to produce Copper Cable, and you get 2 of them in output. The speed of an Assembling Machine 2 is 0.75. Therefore, the production of three Assembling Machine 2's should be 3*2/0.5*0.75*60=540 items per minute. It takes 0.5s to produce Electronic Circuit. Two Assemblin...

Same crash, I'm sorry to say :/

It's more useful for me to have the debug informations, I don't know, but if that related to tooltip, maybe it's related to localisation (only english is provided). Not entirely convinced this will be useful, but here ya go: 1723590.167345 Info Scenario.cpp:158: Map version 0.11.18-1 1723590.196766...

The Creative Mode energy sink and energy source don't seem to work properly in 0.11.18 - mousing over them in the crafting window causes an instant crash. The call stack looks like something's broken in making the tooltip. I tried disabling all my other mods and that didn't fix it, so I *think* this...

Just what I needed! Thank you very much

I'm working on my first Factorio mod but I'm having trouble figuring out the not-quite-basics of the modding system. So here's a pile of questions! Note that I'm happy to read existing mods in order to find answers, so if your answer is "Mod X does that" then I can probably untangle it fro...
