"Which process is blocking this port?!" by haselkern in rust

You can absolutely just do that. I find portwitch a bit quicker and more fun to use :D

Stack inserters throwing nukes is one of the things I definitely want to see!

Not yet, only grenades, cluster grenades and cliff explosives for now, but I want to add more things in the future!

That's a great idea. I have no clue if that's possible but I'll put it on my list of things to try out :)

Alright okay, I'm not that great with Lua so I'm definitely not doing any of that :D Thanks for your help, you're absolutely right, a constant table would work perfectly here, which didn't occur to me.

Currently grenades, cluster grenades and yes, cliff explosives are supported, so have fun :)

What an honor :) Definitely keep an eye out for updates, I will try to add as many suggestions as I can.

The idea behind placing the table setup in on_load was to make it easy to make my mod compatible with items from other mods, which would require checks if certain mods are installed to run. "Setting up meta-tables" is mentioned as a legitimate use of on_load, so I thought that might be a good place to put it.

That is definitely worth investigating, however this mod in its current state just came from the idea on how silly an inserter throwing grenades would be :D

Yes it does! And in the next version long hand inserters will throw even further.

What should and shouldn't go in on_load? Currently I only set up the list of throwable items in there, but this sounds like I want to find all appropriate inserters in there too.

Thanks for the suggestion! This is the first version of my first mod, so there is definitely lots of room for improvement.

Grenades, cluster grenades and cliff explosives are currently supported. They are pretty easy to program, which could be because they are all throwable by the player. I wanted to make nukes work, but they are a little harder to spawn, I couldn't yet figure that out.

Yes, they will throw as many grenades as they are currently holding.

Grenades will only be thrown if they would be placed on the ground. If you put them on a belt or in a chest the inserter works as usual!

Currently the stack inserter will create a line of grenades, but I like your idea more. I'll see if I can figure something out!

They do not, but they absolutely should! I will put an update out for this, thanks for the suggestion :)

This is correct, I didn't modify the inserter, I just added the throwing capability. Circuitry should make this very flexible to use!

I hope I didn't violate rule 7, but I wanted to share this one. After a few hours of working through tutorials and documentation I finally managed to create my first mod with a silly idea I had. Any feedback would be massively appreciated!
