Might be useful if you give your save file too. And the log file of your friend too. Would be interesting if you are on Windows and your friend on Switch for example.
Maybe someone who knows the game better can try reproduce this behaviour

Here is the output from the desync report analyzer . Interesting that it desyncs, it shouldn't be possible without mods. python3 -m hornwitser.factorio_tools desync desync-report-2024-04-24_01-00-48 level-heuristic differs ----------------------- replace ref[742:743] -> des[742:743] <player name=dat...

Pyanodans actually something like this. It's something like you can set the AM and FM frequencies seperately that some paramters of the beacon.

Epic! Will definitely be using this feature, thanks!

Epic! Thanks for adding this

One small thing, I don't think the numbers should show in the tab heading. That space should be reserved for notifications IMO.

Otherwise, it has even more functionality that I hoped for! You're the best

Easiest might be to install the official mod pack , but just installing the Space Exploration mod itself is also perfectly fine. As far as I know, the part of going into space is quite late in the game It's earlier than that, I think it's now after blue science that you can go to space using a Cargo...

Great! That would definitely make it easier to work with.

Does this mean indexes will always be unique too, like unit numbers? Or will they still be re-used? It would be nice if they were unique to use as an identifier. Can't use the surface name because that can change.

What A variable holding a LuaSurface does not point to that unique created surface, but instead seems to point to whichever surface has that specific index. For example if a the variable's surface is destroyed, and a new different surface created later, it might have the same index. And in that cas...

You can try this mod, which looking at the code should update the zone correctly when the spaceship launches/lands.

If you're looking for an example mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/z_yira_UP

Basically, you would have to create sprite-sheets of your model, and place that in a mod. There is some tutorials around on how to do that.

What When placing tiles the total amount of tiles placed/mined should be shown in the Production window . Probably under the "Buildings" tab. Why This information would be just as useful as the other information in the Buildings tab. And a player would expect it to be there, since most ot...

This is also something similar

No, that is not currently a feature. This Alt-F4 article shows you how to add it using a Python script, and already has a handy blueprint available. Or you could use a mod like AutoFill.

Happy to help

The documentation here explains the load order. And you'll see there the only way you should change it is by adding dependencies on other mods.

In what file did you place your code? It could be that it's running after SE does it's space checks. Safest is to add a dependency to SE as you mentioned. But it could be you placed your code in `data-final-fixes.lua` whereas better place might be `data-updates.lua`.

and it`s working What do you mean? So did the code I provided crash? And you want it to crash, because that means the code was running. And once you verified that you can remove the `error(...)`. Maybe a better clearer approach would be: log("[TEST] The code is running as expected") if da...

I was curious and found the code: https://github.com/pyanodon/pyalienlife/blob/master/scripts/turd/turd.lua Functions of interest are `recipe_replacement` and `Turd.events.on_built`. Seems like they don't handle the case of old blueprints like I described, or at least didn't see it at first glance. ...

It should crash your game while it's loading with that error message. If it's not then your code isn't running

Unfortunately it's not possible with the approach you described. This would require you creating multiple recipes in the data state, one for each technology level. Then when the technology is researched you would have to loop over all entities that exist and change the recipe to the newer one. As we...
