Hello, my friend! I love yours mods, especialy biter hates concretes. Any chance you do something like this, with bricks? For noobs like me!!! Thanks

You can make your first mod, just replace "concrete" to the "stone-brick"

Dear darkfrei,

I tried to change "concrete" to "stone-brick" in data-final-fixes.lua but when i started factorio, a text alert "1:unexpected symbol near '-' " appear.

My code:

local stone-brick_tiles = {"hazard-stone-brick-left", "hazard-stone-brick-right", "stone-brick"}

local collision_layer = "layer-12"

for i, tile_name in pairs (stone-brick_tiles) do
local tile = data.raw.tile[tile_name]
if tile then
tile.collision_mask = {"ground-tile", collision_layer}
end
end

local units = {"small-biter", "medium-biter", "big-biter", "behemoth-biter", "small-spitter", "medium-spitter",

"big-spitter", "behemoth-spitter"}

for i, unit_name in pairs (units) do
local unit = data.raw.unit[unit_name]
if unit then
unit.collision_mask = {"player-layer", "train-layer", collision_layer}
end
end

local stone-brick_tiles

to

local stone_brick_tiles

Lua cannot support variables with minus, it's already some math.
The 1: in error text "text alert "1:" says it which line is the error.

Also there is no hazard stone brick in vanilla; but you get no error. If some mod adds it before your mod, then it will be supported automatically.

for i, tile_name in pairs (stone-brick_tiles) do

to

for i, tile_name in pairs (stone_brick_tiles) do

Well... Did not work. No error messages, but the biters walk with no problems over all the stone brick path. Anywhy, thanks for all responses, you are great for all you patience! I love this game, and i play with no biters because they destroy all so quickly in begning of the game, and this is piss me of. But i will try a mod with wall of brick, and grow up the power of walls. Thanks a lot!!!

My bad!

Must be:

local stone_brick_tiles = {"stone-path"}

Hello, darkfrei!

Its works!!! Thanks a lot! I will create a file and i will send to Mod Portal with all thankness to you! This help noobs like me!!! Thanks thanks thanks thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Final code:

local stone_brick_tiles = {"stone-path"}

local collision_layer = "layer-12"

for i, tile_name in pairs (stone_brick_tiles) do
local tile = data.raw.tile[tile_name]
if tile then
tile.collision_mask = {"ground-tile", collision_layer}
end
end

local units = {"small-biter", "medium-biter", "big-biter", "behemoth-biter",

"small-spitter", "medium-spitter",

"big-spitter", "behemoth-spitter"}

for i, unit_name in pairs (units) do
local unit = data.raw.unit[unit_name]
if unit then
unit.collision_mask = {"player-layer", "train-layer", collision_layer}
end
end

Nice!

You can use three symbols ` before and after your code to format it as code.

Hey it would be a blast if you were to update this mod to 1.1
I used it a lot in 1.0 but not now.

Thanks for your work buddy.

Oh dude thanks for being so fast but when I try to load it I get this error below.

Thanks for report, fixed.

Nice bud Thanks. I just started a new game so I'm glad to get it back.

Sorry bud my fault. Somehow your mod was not ticked after I downloaded it into my game I just started of the weekend. It works as it should now.
Thank you for updating it.

(Hey I loaded your new version 1.4.6 and it loads just fine but the biters just walk right across it. Sorry bud. I don't have any error logs to show you as it don't error out they just walk right over concrete like normal.)

The highest version is 1.1.2.

Hey, nice mod, does this affect the Bob's Biters too?

No, just this:

local units = {"small-biter", "medium-biter", "big-biter", "behemoth-biter", "small-spitter", "medium-spitter", "big-spitter", "behemoth-spitter"}
