In version 0.12.1 (didn't test with 0.12.0), mods' on_load events are called when the user save a game, not when the user load it. Please see the attached (test) mod LongTestEvents_0.12.1.zip require "defines" ----------------------------------------------------------- -- utility functions...

I know we can already import/export blueprints via the blueprint string mod, but it would be great for the game to have an interface to store cross-game contents. Basically, a kind of chest that have a permanent backing for anything that is stored in it. Come to think of it, we might be able to just...

I think this is a great idea, especially if you can import/export (or buy/sell via the market) these "chips".

Edit: added a separated suggestion on the ability to import/export things here: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =6&t=14218

Thank you for your reply, I have concidered it, but how will I let a furnace output multiple items while providing no actual input other than fuel? That you might have to do on a on_tick() event in control.lua. Take a look at Bob's mod. He has an in-land water pump (produces water out of thin air) ...

The "Tutorial" mod does exactly that.

You might be able to make your "scrap" a type of fuel? That way you can directly burn it in current furnaces and stuff. Afterward, you can also create a recipe that make ores and stuff from scrap.

Is it possible via pure data to make a mining drill that requires lubricant to run? I was thinking about making a deep mining drill, which specifically mines extra patches of unbound ore of each type. However, I wanted it to be dependent on lubricant to run. I don't think so. The prototypes defined...

Any mods (both you and your friend)?

I tried reinstalling, started a new game incase the saves were borked. Have no mods, still no luck. Thanks anyways. Guess it might be a bug then? /M It could be, but instead of re-installing, can you try to download the ZIP version and unzip / run it there? It might be there are something wonky goi...

The smart inserters have 4 sets of slots (your picture shows 2 sets.) The top most set (5 slots) allow you to place filters for the inserters. If any of those slots are filled, the inserters will only move those items. The green circuit slots -- only visible if the inserter is connected with a green...

ssilk and I had a long discussions on this, starting here:

You can enable the debug mode ((F4 / F5? ) to see the actual hit boxes of the wagons. Is this something that worked in previous versions? I don't like long trains because of this very reason. It's so difficult to line up all the inserters.

It must be a friendly bitter

Now it feels like a challenge Let's table this for now. I'll see if I can mock up a mod that does some of this stuff, and let's see if it's even useful or fun. And I'll put a hard limit of the number of crawlies you can build.

Just my $0.02 on the poster / picture: that one only depicts a single phase of the game, namely, the oil phase. It might make the game feel "dirty" with all those pollution. Why not have something with a larger perspective? For example, looking from the oil field to the roboport powered by...

The argument for me is the same as here on earth: Why by the hell should a robot be able to walk if flying is so much more practical? My idea was for something that can be used before flying robots become the norm. Think of the early game, when you spend 30 minutes trying to get the factory started...

There is some thing wonky going on with power generation and storage in 0.12. This may be part of that bug.

PS: I was actually expecting the trash slots to work differently, similar to how the requester slots work: You only define a number of an item type specifying how many you intend to keep (or 0 if you want to get rid of them all). That way if your inventory is full of trees you can just tell it to “...

If you hover your mouse over a logistic chest in 0.12, it shows you the breakdown of all robots in that network.

Also you can use the following if you want to make debug mod interfaces that print to the calling player: remote.add_interface("ModularArmor", { print = function(text) game.local_player.print(text) end }) This will however only work if called from a player through the console. If another ...
