Picker Dollies Compat #6

Open OvermindDL1 opened 5 years ago

OvermindDL1 commented 5 years ago

Using Picker Dollies you can kind of 'nudge' things around a single tile at a time with shift+arrow's, and this works on the big factories, so with a touch of work can get the big factories all next to each other... ^.^;

Consequently it has an API so you can tell it not to move them (and the loaders and so forth). :-)

I did see your modportal post, sorry I haven't gotten a chance to get back to you. I just tested this out with Factorio 0.17.25, WSF 0.1.16, and Picker Dollies 1.0.0 and haven't been able to replicate. I'm able to move around normal assembly buildings, but Picker Dollies doesn't seem to work on my big factories.

Can you help me replicate the issue so I can see Picker Dollies working on my mod so I can verify if my fix works? Right now it seems like the buildings already can't be moved. I haven't used any remote API calls, but looks like the Picker Dollies mod has instructions in the code for how to do it.

For note, they can't move something if something else is in the way, and by default WSF's Loaders are in the way (you might be able to move those first out of the way and then move the building, though then they'd probably be left littering the map? ^.^; ). We have loaders disabled on our server to make externally placed loaders be more visible and so we can move the assemblers without needing to move loaders first.

And yeah, remote API calls are trivial to do. :-)
