Hi,

I have another mod I've recently released, Tree Saplings (Redux), that has 5 tree entities in it that should probably be excluded from your mod's logic. Off hand, I don't see any exclusion lists or means for another modder to tell your mod to not include their entities? Would it be possible for you to include a remote interface in your mod that other modders could call and pass our tree entities that should not be affected by your mod?

Oh there already is:

Only autoplaceable trees are considered by my mod. We updated the FAQ to note this little fact.

Does this hint help you?

Thank you,

Ah, ok. I was looking at 3 different tree growth/expansion mods and the other 2 used white/black lists in control.lua. I didn't realize yours was creating new entities or something in order to pass a list up from the data stage.

Thank you.

Hi FuryoftheStars,

I'm actually using the autoplace filter with get_filtered_entity_prototypes.
