I had this same error too, but I fixed it by installing "Bob's Metals, Chemicals and Intermediates." It's listed as an optional dependency but I guess something changed and made it mandatory but the info.json hasn't been updated.

There seems to be an issue with flooring layers in Alien Biomes. I've done a bit of investigating and it seems to be that because Alien Biomes is renumbering all the flooring layers the game isn't drawing the tile transition borders correctly (for instance, the decorative borders around hazard concr...

A very minor issue but one I noticed recently when explaining the game to a new player... If you try to insert a Uranium fuel cell into a locomotive you get a warning message to say "The Locomotive can't use Nuclear fuel," however this is technically incorrect as since from 0.16 when the N...

Can you send me the exact version of the blueprint that you're using and I'll see if I can replicate the problem at my end?

I'm glad you've worked some of it out. The water issues definitely aren't Dectorio as the mod doesn't do anything to water like what you're seeing. I notice your UPS is only ~20 so your game must be pretty heavily modded. In those scenarios you're far more likely to have conflicts and things so you ...

Thanks for the feedback, I wasn't aware of these issues. I'll take a look at the battery indicator blueprint and see if I can figure out what is going on. The issue with combinators disappearing when copying blueprints into vanilla games surprises me because the signals Dectorio creates shouldn't be...

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but where is the button that opens the changelog for mods? I'm trying to get this working in my own mod but nothing seems to appear.

Can I make a suggestion that you move this block to data-updates.lua so that it can make this change to tiles that are added by other mods? for _, item in pairs(data.raw.item) do if item.name ~= "landfill" and item.place_as_tile then item.place_as_tile.condition_size = 1 end end Currently ...

I really like the direction this is heading. The final render looks pretty good to me, although I do agree with other comments that maybe the concrete could be levelled off a little. One thing that isn't immediately obvious from the post is how the Hazard concrete is layered. Is this still a separat...

Either way, we both lose the vanilla item in a saved game after disabling our mod. It appears that changing the technology 'effects' may be causing your (now OUR) issue. :( Well it would be interesting if that is indeed what is causing the problem. Strangely, though I've noticed that if you remove ...

I think the issue here is that this mod author removes vanilla items completely, and not just the recipes. So when the mod is removed, the vanilla recipe is reset, the research for the item is reset, but the item itself is not recreated and thus not craftable. Hence my suggestion that the mod tries...

Hey Joe, I'm looking for someone to translate Dectorio into German. If you're interested, I'd be happy to package it into the mod directly with credit to you.

From a quick look around it might be Dectorio? (signal.lua)

While Dectorio does clear out the signals, by default it recreates 'signal-grey' and the other base signal colours so it shouldn't be breaking this.

Thanks for the responses, it sounds like it's not something I can easily fix in the mod. It does raise another point though... If reset_technology_effects is a quick way to fix issues like this, is this something that the base game could automatically run when mods are removed? This would restore th...

Is it normal for recipes for base items to be missing when a mod (that removes these recipes) is removed from a save? Does the tech tree and recipes get refreshed when active mods change? To give a specific example. I've got a mod that removes the item and recipe for Hazard concrete and changes the ...

Not sure if this is a complicated request but it would be awesome if the wall_patch property of the gate entity could be specified directly in the wall entity prototype (similar to how wall_diode_green and wall_diode_red are specified in the wall, rather than the gate). This would allow for custom w...

I've worked out this is actually a bug. If you change your email address at factorio.com/profile, it doesn't change it on the mod portal and therefore the gravatar uses the incorrect email address.

Hmm thanks, I had tried variations of that but have finally managed to get it working!

When using a JSON migration file to migrate a technology it doesn't seem to migrate the "researched" status of that technology. Is this the expected behaviour? "technology": [ ["tech-name", "new-tech-name"] ] I understand that I can also provide a lua script t...

Does anyone know which email address is used for the mod portal when it works out your gravatar image? I have looked at the email I've got listed in my factorio.com/profile details (which does have a gravatar image associated with it) yet the mod portal still doesn't display an avatar image for me. ...
