Moving Meshes at Runtime

Moving this here as it's still a blocker for me and I guess it's more complicated as the more general UE modding server suggested coming back here to ask again - Do you have to change anything else meshes to update? E.g. setting visibility off and on again, or disabling/re-enabling collision? When updating node location, such as using

ResourceNode->SetActorLocation(NodeData.Location);
ResourceNode->SetActorRotation(NodeData.Rotation);
MeshComponent->SetWorldLocation(NodeData.Location);
MeshComponent->SetWorldRotation(NodeData.Rotation);

ResourceNode->SetActorLocation(NodeData.Location);
ResourceNode->SetActorRotation(NodeData.Rotation);
MeshComponent->SetWorldLocation(NodeData.Location);
MeshComponent->SetWorldRotation(NodeData.Rotation);

I notice that setting this location/rotation for both works if its during their spawn, but it doesn't appear to update their location once they've already been spawned. I'm also not entirely sure if I have to update the MeshComponent separately from the Actor or not, since the mesh is attached to the actor when I spawn them using

ResourceNode->SetRootComponent(MeshComponent);
MeshComponent->RegisterComponent();

ResourceNode->SetRootComponent(MeshComponent);
MeshComponent->RegisterComponent();

tried again with

ResourceNode->SetActorLocation(NodeData.Location, false, nullptr, ETeleportType::TeleportPhysics);
ResourceNode->SetActorRotation(NodeData.Rotation, ETeleportType::TeleportPhysics);
MeshComponent->SetWorldLocation(NodeData.Location, false, nullptr, ETeleportType::TeleportPhysics);
MeshComponent->SetWorldRotation(NodeData.Rotation, false, nullptr, ETeleportType::TeleportPhysics);

ResourceNode->SetActorLocation(NodeData.Location, false, nullptr, ETeleportType::TeleportPhysics);
ResourceNode->SetActorRotation(NodeData.Rotation, ETeleportType::TeleportPhysics);
MeshComponent->SetWorldLocation(NodeData.Location, false, nullptr, ETeleportType::TeleportPhysics);
MeshComponent->SetWorldRotation(NodeData.Rotation, false, nullptr, ETeleportType::TeleportPhysics);

the method is being called and is updating these appropriately, and the mesh is moveable (also as an aside, weird how AActor::SetActorRotation is missing the fields the other methods have ... (https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/API/Runtime/Engine/GameFramework/AActor/SetActorRotation/1) I can't find anything in UE documentation or forum/reddit/etc that seems to deal with this

Randomization Logic

I'm trying to lay down good logic for randomization that makes sense, and wonder if I've made some oversights in my planning. I know there are efficiency optimizations that can be done, but wrapping my head around this one by itself has already bent my brains into a pretzel so that will come later. Variables:

NotProcessedResourceNodes (sorted by class and then by purity from pure->impure)
NotProcessedPossibleLocations (this is already in pseudorandom order based on seed)

NotProcessedSingleResourceNodes
NotProcessedSinglePossibleLocations

NotProcessedResourceNodes (sorted by class and then by purity from pure->impure)
NotProcessedPossibleLocations (this is already in pseudorandom order based on seed)

NotProcessedSingleResourceNodes
NotProcessedSinglePossibleLocations

Processing Logic

- While there are still nodes in NotProcessedResourceNodes (starting with the last one and working towards first one)
    - Check to ensure we still have NotProcessedResourceNodes and we still have NotProcessedPossibleLocations available, otherwise break out of the loop
    - If it's one of the non-groupable classes, add it to NotProcessedSingleResourceNodes and remove from NotProcessedResourceNodes.
    - Otherwise, grab the last index of NotProcessedPossibleLocations
    - Feed this possible location and the current list of all Possible locations into LocationGrouper, and recursively check what other NotProcessedPossibleLocations are within GroupingRadius. We use recursion to ensure we will get multiple resources that are all in a row or otherwise very close but are not all within the radius of the starting NotProcessedPossibleLocations.
    - Return the list (and the list of their corresponding indexes in NotProcessedPossibleLocations) for each location within the group.
    - If we have only 1 location in the group, then we use a Counter % 4 != 0 that's initialized at the start to give it a deterministic 25% chance of being used. If it fails (75% chance), then we insert the location to the NotProcessedSinglePossibleLocations and remove it from NotProcessedPossibleLocations.

ModLog Logging Library

I put together a somewhat dirty logging library that allows you to write clean logs to external files. It's got both blueprint and C++ callable methods. https://github.com/TheRealBeef/Satisfactory-ModLog-Lib It could certainly use some improvements but may be handy

Resource Types (Vanilla and Modded)

These are what you find when iterating and dumping AFGResourceNode. Could be handy for making custom spawners/despawners or randomizing node locations etc Vanilla Resource types:

  Desc_NitrogenGas_C

Heat - EResourceForm::RF_HEAT:
  Desc_Geyser_C

Liquid - EResourceForm::RF_LIQUID:
  Desc_LiquidOil_C
  Desc_Water_C

Solid - EResourceForm::RF_SOLID:
  Desc_SAM_C
  Desc_Stone_C
  Desc_OreIron_C

Resource Node Randomizer conflicts with Ficsit Farming

Portable miners and miners disappear on (Ficsit Farming) dirt nodes. I believe this is a mod conflict with Resource Node Randomizer. @Marshall I believe I have a fix and will submit a PR to your Github if it works...

Heavy Fluid Overhaul - RP/FF compatibility

Any interest in adding compatibility with Refined Power/Ficsit Farming? It may be outside your scope of work, but it appears that Heavy Fluid Overhaul has no effect on these mods (to not much surprise). Since RP/FF are closed source it's perhaps not feasible either.

Access Violations

I started using SUBSCRIBE_UOBJECT_METHOD() as per Mircea/Rex advice, but I still get an access violation. Starting a test world with nothing in it / no other mods besides SML, everything works OK until I place a sign. The build animation plays and then there's about 1 frame where the sign tries to display something and then the game crashes.

#include "MoreLightingOptionsModule.h"
#include "Buildables/FGBuildableWidgetSign.h"

    {
        if (!self) {
            return;
        }

        float BaseEmissiveValue = scope(self, Level);
        float NewEmissiveValue = BaseEmissiveValue * 10.0f;
        if (NewEmissiveValue >= 0.0f) {
            scope.Override(NewEmissiveValue);

SifVerT - Difficulty Tuner

There's an option to enable "Machine Parts" if you disable the crafting table, which is kind, but it also adds several milestones to research to unlock the assembler/manufacturer/etc that can be built with machine parts. However, with machine parts disabled, the milestones to unlock these machines still appear. I'm not sure if this is intended behavior or not.
