It would be useful to be able to set a default pollution for an assembly machine, which can be overridden by individual recipes. For instance, smelting copper from native copper with coal could be moderate pollution, but smelting copper from chalcocite could be heavy pollution. It would also be usef...

Klonan, when you make the decorative entity the one placed which then spawns the real invisible entity, what effect would this have on using the pressure plates with blueprints? Does the blueprint register the decorative entity and place a ghost of that, or does it register the invisible entity and...

Another, fairly hacky solution is creating a decorative entity with the image, and make the combinator have a clear sprite. Then spawn the decoration and destroy it depending on when your pressure plate is placed/broken (in the control.lua). Although this has the side affect that when you try to pl...

I think the way treefarm does it is by making the entire graphic only in one corner of the .png file, and using a shift parameter to offset the graphic such that the field on the graphic covers the field entity.

So I goofed writing the info.json file for the files in the above post. Oops. These should work better.

Well, you can, and a WTFPL does just that. This is a lot more vague than even a WTFPL though, so it wouldnt hurt to improve it. saying you can do whatever you want with the mod, whenever and wherever, is the opposite of a lack of license (i.e., ARR). In any event its good enough for me. Under the te...

Error in AssignID, item with name 'diamond-ore' does not exist

That is the entire error message I am getting.

So Ive deliberately caused one of these errors, by setting a specific item (diamond-ore) to nil, essentially deleting it. Something is evidently referencing this item, otherwise I would not be getting the error. I cant find what is referencing it though, and Ive been at it for a few hours. Is there ...

The attribution portion of the license mentions the requirements for making changes, because most CC licenses allow you to modify the work (in fact, so does this one) and also to distribute that modified work (this one does not). While a lawyer may be able to bend the law in court, moreso depending ...

you can do it for your own install pretty easily. You would need to download the mod, then extract its files and copy those files to the mods folder (same place you would put the zip normally). Then you need to open control.lua with a text editor, and go through and replace the entries which start w...

Does anyone know from which mod the graphic for the froth floatation unit came originally?

damienreave, who released the mod, has not been on the forums since August. I am guessing that the mod has been abandoned. I made a working version for 0.12, but as the mod is a mashup of 4 mods, 3 of which explicitly do not allow derivative work, I will not be distributing it. It was not exactly wo...

I like the tech tree honestly. How many astronauts do you know who are familiar with every step of industrial production, and know how to build absolutely everything featured in factorio? Im guessing its a short list. Someone mentioned earlier that there is a mod which redoes science labs to be down...

Ive made use of the hidden setting for recipes, but I see that one doesnt work for technologies. I guess Ill have to leave them visible in the tech list and modify the costs/effects as suggested.

Cheers for the help!

G'day all! Im curious as to how I would go about disabling a technology added in the base game. Similarly, a recipe, item, etc. Ive worked out that I can modify the existing ones, but there are some I want to disable entirely. Is this possible? I tried just setting them to nil but that started givin...

Well, I sent a PM asking permission. fingers crossed. Well I have had the permission I sought, to distribute anothers mod content in a modified format, denied by one mod author so far. Which is fair enough really, it is their prerogative. What this means is that for me to distribute a factorio v0.1...

Anyways, I hope the game will be available on (BOTH) the website itself and on steam. Reason being is, there are people out there like myself that have lost Internet for several weeks do to the ISP technical difficulties, or someone backing out of the driveway and the internet cable gets caught on ...

Id prefer not to use this thread for bugfixes.

For that I would suggest adding a width value to the holes resource. Compare the resource with vanilla resources in the base mod and see what is different.

Interesting. I didnt know F-mod added another player entity.

does the robot use the same animation as the player? If so, you could just copy the same section from the base mod in 0.12 I believe.
