3 years ago

So I had some issues related to this when I wrote this 2 years ago. I think I originally tried to make the factories on the neutral force, but then there were issues getting the loaders to work and connect to the machine.

I think I might be able to switch them to neutral which might let anyone use them, but I might not be able to do that at the same time as getting the loaders to work.

that's not a problem for me, i have my own loaders, maybe make the loaders an option so i can use mine ?

How goes it :p?

So I've done some digging and some thinking. First, the loaders are already an option. But the problem is that NO loaders connect to buildings that aren't your force, so that isn't really a solution.

So my factories will have to switch forces depending on whose loaders are near or something. But that is no solution because some people don't use loaders. So maybe I'll have to switch when you open the dialog to set the recipe. But I don't know if that'll work right to try to open up the dialog on the machine when it is someone else's force.

I haven't really been actively developing this mod for over a year now, so I'm pretty rusty in both factorio language and the details of my own mod.
