Then maybe the player could steal the alien technology when they drop their alien science packs.

I second this motion.

I would like to see the technologies arranged into trees similar to that of Civilization to make it easier to find and browse the available, researched, and future technologies. I assume this has not been done because of the existing GUI and focus is mainly on core game elements, but this is my sugg...

I like this idea and its cool you made your own graphics (I just made my own mod but am terrible with graphics so I just changed the coloring). I've always wanted to have an electric furnace, but my concern is now what do we do with coal? If we switch our operations to solar panels and electric furn...

Thanks for the bug report! I always seem to miss something.

Sweet! I made a clock myself quite similar in the format HH:MM, but the time didn't speed up during the night to resemble Earth-based timing. I do like that you made it resemble our time as it might be easier to use it for tracking day/night cycles.

I'd like to either make or use a mod that disables all creeper attacks, spawning, and buildings. Kinda like a "peaceful" mode. I am unsure as how to go about doing this for the control.lua file. Any help?

I appreciate the input on balancing. I did attempt to balance as much as possible on the front-end and the research cost suggestion is a good one. For 0.5.0, I am updating the files right now for my next version. Thank you for the heads up! You obviously looked over the files/code. I did notice all ...

I'm glad I was able to figure out how it worked and am very happy that you explained why you guys decided on the particular ordering convention. And for that convention's sake, I'm going to keep to it in my current and future mods.

Oops... you are correct, sir. As far as my understanding from using the existing "base" data of Factorio, "order" is used as a way to order items in inventory when auto-sorting is on (something I personally like). You can order items by setting the order to anything in the follow...

Solar Expansion is now merging with Industrio ! I am releasing all future development to Nirahiel and he will carry the torch of adding new features and updating for the latest Factorio versions via his own mod. Thank you everyone for your suggestions and support. Solar Expansion is a work-in-progr...

Thank you for the info! I decided what would be best for my project would be to have "tech abc", "tech abc-2", and "tech abc-3". I discovered that by simply adding "-x" after the technology name you'd get a sequential technology like Logistics. This particular...

Nevermind... I figured it out.

I am very much confused on order, "a-b-c", when extending items. How does this work? And thank you everyone for responding to all my questions. To be honest, the wiki is very weak at explaining the modding portion of the game (although, this is very understandable as the focus is to work o...

How do I have a technology not show up until another is researched? I have searched throughout all data files and cannot seem to find this. Please help!

Now... where can I find a way to modify the power output? That would be the "production = 1" line in the entities definition, though I did not see this line on the steam engine it could be that the devs have hard coded the steam-engines power production :D note that the solar panel ingame...

That did it! Thank you!

Now... where can I find a way to modify the power output?

I'm making a mod that adds new solar panels to the game. I'm running into this error upon starting up Factorio:
What do I need to avoid this error?

LOL... yup, just look at the power output of a solar panel to get a good indication.

And the other uses is the difference between adding the article "the" in front of "shit". I think I'm beating a dead horse, but that's only because I'd hate to be seen as insulting the developers or some crazy dude that is the only one who uses "is the shit".

I made a quick mod that shows you the time of day. It doesn't look nice or anything as the GUI API seems a bit buggy, however it does work. I used that as a good indicator.
