Creative Mod

by jodli

Based on the old Creative Mode mod created by Y.Petremann, then patched by Pac0master, and also the Test Mode mod created by rk84. By enabling Creative Mode in the game, you can access objects that can generate unlimited items, fluid or energy, or nullify them. Perfect for testing purpose or making initial setup for games. Quick patch for 0.16 until an official release - everything should work now. Quick patch for 0.17 until an official release - if ever...

Changelog

Version: 1.8.2
Date: 2024-01-01
  Changes:
    - Thanks to Silari for these wonderful fixes! <3
    - Adds Space Exploration support to allow building on space platforms
    - Adds a setting to change who can set Infinity Chest filters
    - Updated the event menus to include new events and categorize some old ones that weren't
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed a bug logging parameters when mining an item on the ground
Version: 1.8.1
Date: 2023-02-22
  Features:
    - Added a recipe for the vanilla infinity chest, as well as requester and provider variants. Setting the infinity filters will cause them to always maintain supplies of at most/at least/exactly the amount set, and a checkbox will void any contents that aren't in the infinity filters. Since they are vanilla entities, they'll be handled in engine rather than via LUA. They serve as excellent replacements to the duplicator chest and duplicator provider chest.
        - Many of the chests were converted to use this prototype internally to drastically reduce UPS costs - details are below.
    - Added a version of the Loader1x1 - same speed/usage as the other loader, but 1x1 in size, enabling smaller builds.
    - Added a version of the linked chest. Any two chests that are set to the same id, via the checkboxes seen when opening them, will share the inventory contents.
    - Added a version of linked belts. Copying the settings of one and pasting it to another will set them as an input/output pair. Speed is the same as the loaders to maintain throughput.
  Changes:
    - Removed belt immunity equipment. This is a vanilla item now, no need for a recipe. We don't have one for all the other regular items.
    - Removed fluid-unknown from fluid source recipes. It's not a real fluid and there's no need for it.
  Bugfixes:
    - Added script_raised_built and script_raised_destroy event handlers for creative mod items.
    - Updated the English description for Heat Void to clarify it's always 0C, not room temp.
  Optimizations:
    - Removed all scripting for fluid-source, fluid-void, super-radar, super-beacon, super-roboport, energy-void, energy-source, passive-energy-void, passive-energy-source. They no longer require it. See details below.
    - Changed all creative entities requiring power to use a void energy source, rather than a burner source. Scripting is no longer required to keep these entities powered, and they're less apt to break if moved via script.
        - Removed fuel scripting for creative-lab, item-source, item-duplicator, item-void.
    - Changed Heat Source and Heat Void to use the Heat Interface prototype instead.
        - Removed all on-tick scripting for Heat Source and Heat void. There is only a quick script ran on placement that sets the temperature.
        - These look different now due to the differences in how heat-interfaces work - they don't have separate connection sprites like heat pipes do, so they are locked into the 4 way sprite.
    - Changed creative-chest, creative-provider-chest, void chest, void storage chest, and void requester chest to use the vanilla infinity chest. No changes in usage should be present.
        - Removed all on-tick scripting for these entities. There is a quick script ran on placement that sets them up.
        - creative-chest and creative-provider-chest have two minor regressions:
            - Copy/paste no longer works since the base game considers them non-operable. As it appears this only set the group number, and not the filters, this is fairly minor.
            - The inventory display mode also doesn't do anything for them, since infinity chests sort their contents. Technically it DOES have a slight change in how the filters are set, but as those are only viewable in the editor this isn't particularly useful.
    - Changed Fluid Void to use the vanilla infinity pipe.
        - Old fluid voids will NOT be automatically swapped to the new one - due to changing to a pipe, new fluid voids will connect in all four directions, which may cause issues with previous builds. They will remain scripted and thus use significantly more UPS until replaced. Any newly built fluid voids will be the new style and not use scripting.
        - These are now a purple tinted pipe instead of the old graphics, due to the prototype change and requirement to connect in all four directions.
    - Energy void no longer produces an item. Removed scripting related to the item.
        - The scripting to remove it's energy was also removed as it did nothing - it'll always run constantly and drain power as long as there is a supply.
    - Active and Passive Energy Sources and Passive Energy Void are now electric interfaces and require no LUA scripting to function.
        - They no longer have a circuit connection due to this change.
