If you already have certain mandatory dependencies of a modpack installed, then installing the modpack won’t check those dependencies and thus the client will error when the user restarts.

Several fields show as 'None' while the modlist is being fetched for a multiplayer game, notably including the modlist. This should presumably be blank or 'Loading...'.

This applies to all servers so is easy to reproduce.

Yes required_when_disabled would be even better, that would not be a breaking change.

As of the latest release (2.0.52), if a prerequisite LuaTechnology has enabled=false, it still blocks its successors unless researched=true. Such prerequisites are normally hidden from the player.

For modders who at runtime want to disable a technology and prevent it blocking successors such that ...

One example where this would have been handy: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Small-Spa ... 0910f780d4

I often wish to highly recommend a dependency by making it download by default, but not mandatory so that players are able to opt-out.

The current workaround is to make the mod mandatory, but add a 'Disable mod' checkbox to the dependency. A number of my mods have this checkbox and the drawback is ...

I've realized the real cause of this issue: Inverted Quality flips the sign of the effect of the quality effect of quality modules.

It makes sense that the engine would react by making that quality effect immune to quality, so this is not a bug.

I reproducibly obtained this effect when the GUI (Factoriopedia) is opened _by_ the chat click.

However, I can no longer reproduce this on 2.0.48.

Thanks.

Attached is the mod Planet-Hoppers 3.0.0 since I have just removed that release from the Portal.

Two bugs with launch_rocket are observed in the mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Planet-Hopper:

* In the attached save, launch_rocket fails to launch the player and returns false. The documentation is not exactly clear on when false will be obtained, but the player is standing near the rocket and ...

My interest was in the design of Factorio rather than how the engine implements that design. However thanks for confirming OP is not a bug (by which I mean a mistake in the implementation of the design).

It is interesting that it is a single exception among all (non-furnace, non-recycling) recipes ...

For the public record, this triggered discussions in the Factorio discord to which I will link instead of summarize: https://discord.com/channels/1396775903 ... 4754672830

Productivity modules claim to only work when producing intermediates, but this recipe seems to be the one exception in the game (excluding science packs and fluoroketone cooling for reasons.)

Actually, contra what is implied by the mod description all quality levels in that mod are positive. They all get +5 levels from what is listed, and the corresponding prototype properties are nerfed.

The bug is that a level=1 quality module and a level=3 quality module can have equal effects. This ...

If the levels of the quality chain are inverted, then unlike other modules Quality modules are insensitive to the level of their quality.

EDIT: Removed images that may be more confusing than helpful.

If the level of the Normal quality is set greater than zero, then unlike most entities Normal inserters still act as if the level is zero.

This can be observed in https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Inverted-Quality

Rather than 'Crusher 2.8 MW' it would show 'Crusher 23%'.

Sure, attached is a simple save showing the effect with mod The-Foundry-Playtests v0.3.5.

The effect is observed with an assembler.
