I noticed that Anaerobic Fermentation to acetic acid now outputs ethanol and one to ethanol outputs acetic acid.

Same, I came looking to report this bug! Arkangel, please fix!

Is it intended that there is no Advanced Gas Refinery Mk4 unlocked by tech? I can see it in FNEI & Circuit logic conditions, but it doesn't seem to be in the tech tree anywhere. Seems odd that everything else goes up to Mk4/Purple, but the adv. gas refinery stops at Lv3.

Yes that's intended.

Huh. Confusing to me that I can see remnants of it here and there, but if it's on purpose to support other mods or whatever than I guess that makes sense.

Thanks for letting me know.

Even though it was intended, you could add the Extended Angel's mod to include the Mk4 if it's something you need.

You're supposed to recycle them in an assembly machine for a chance to get the items that were used to make it.

Only thing that "needs" them is my OCD. If this is how Angel meant it, I'll live with it. My 1st Angels & Bob run is not the time to go asking for more. (Except for SpaceX because it sounded fun).

Understandable, but it also adds a little more than that for megabase players if that's your style.

My reasoning for getting it was the Algae Mk3 and Mk4. It's otherwise remarkably frustrating to build a giant tumor on the side of a production block just to make the one resource you need by using dozens of an already bulky building. That right there set my OCD into a frenzy like nothing else, but also for having to use so much land which is a luxury in my style of gameplay.

Hopefully a Mk3 is added in the next few updates to ease those issues for others too. It certainly wouldn't hurt.

I have yet to play with Bio processing, though I have it enabled. Will be poking around with it eventually... when my factory stops having crises that need adjusting. Like setting up modules, which slammed my Crystal filtering to make gems. Which was "solved" with modules, but now my Geode Washing can't keep up, so... and on and on.

Is it intended that with not-quite-complete (missing logistics and enemies from Bob's side) AngelBobs, the only remaining recipes in Bob's electrolyzer are lithium-water-electrolysis, lithium and heavy-water-electrolysis? These are required for T2 battery recipe used in a bunch of Bob's Power/Warfare stuff. Also Bob's Distillery and tech for it exist even though it has no recipes.

My apologies if it's already reported. Is it intentional that "Sodium Hydroxide Solution" is not voidable neither by fluid void (Clarifier) nor by chemical void (Flare Stack)?

Since the latest resource generator patch Rubyte only spawns on the very outer edges of coal. Or, to put it another way, a coal patch always overrides rubyte patches. This happens with both a full suite of Bob's and Angel's mods, as well as just having Bob's Metals and Angel's Refining enabled.

Ore generation algorithm' have changed again with the latest base game versions, so I have to adept to that first (again). Will take a couple of days to find the time

This is a minor issue I've noticed with the Angel's Bio Processing mod.

One thing I've noticed now with 100's of hours playing 0.17.x is that temperate gardens don't seem to ever spawn.

I find a ton of desert gardens, and some swamp gardens, but I've never see a temperate garden.
It's listed in some recipes, so is it supposed to spawn on the map like the other gardens?

[Barhandar]

Your mods are using the emissions variable for pollution, while in 0.17 the correct one is emissions_per_minute; this causes very non-integer pollution numbers on machinery ingame and issues with mods that assume that everyone has fully updated and try to change the latter.

I haven't seen any Angels update out in the last little while; I know he's busy being a dad(!!). Does anyone have a link to a hotfix anywhere? I've been holding playing more of my game until this one got fixed.

I don't know the exact problem, but maybe RSO https://mods.factorio.com/mod/rso-mod can help to spawn resources better?

That's a good thought. I haven't been using RSO thus far, but I could always add it. A quick test with a debug console map reveal on a new map implies that things are working correctly in that configuration. It even spawns Thorium, which is an ore that Angel hasn't overtaken and incorporated yet, so that's probably a good thing too; although I'm making heavy water now, so not sure why I'd need the T2 nuclear power.

I also had only desert gardens (and trees) for quite a while, but I eventually found both other types. I think some of it may be related to your starting area. I made mine huge, and based on where the enemies spawned the starting area had only desert gardens.
So yes, they do exist. Unless you have some other mod that changed the map generation?

Is there any way to make the "Angel's Smelting" recipes not mandatory?

I recently decided to go back to playing factorio, and I remember that in the past there was a separate mod to disable most regular smelting recipes when using "Angel's Smelting". Although as of right now it seems like they're disabled by default and I didn't really notice a mod setting regarding this.

I'd just disable it but "Angel's Bio Processing" has a non optional dependency on it (and I find I like it), and despite my problems with it, some of the things it adds I really like. My issue with it is that early in the game I don't really want to be bothered with the extra complexity, and according to FNEI I currently don't really have a different option for anything past "Steel".

So am I just missing something or are the smelting recipes mandatory as of right now?

Accidentally found this when uploading a log for a different bug (Factorio crash after update):
