- Updated to the latest version of Factorio [0.14.4]

Changelog 0.4.3 - hotfix

Overall speed rate is lower (but still faster than basic stack inserter)
It's stack type inserter now
Energy drain increased from 0,5kW to 4kW
Energy consuption increased to 238kW - it's adjustment for vanilla values.
The recipe has been changed too. (Stack inserter instead of Fast inserter, 1 Processing unit, Alien artifact decreased to 5 from 10, Iron gear wheel to 10 from 0)
- Alien Energy Shield energy flow decreased to 640kW (from adjustment 720kW)

Physical 12 from 14 / 42% from 43%

- Equipment Laser Defense MK2 increased attack speed by 13% .

Range increased to 19 from 18

DONE: I would like to shoutout Yuoki for huge help with graphics. HUGE Thank you!!

Images say much more. Take a look!
Leavy any suggestion and I'll consider it if I'm capable of I would appreciate any feedback

Hey guys, I've just updated the mod to 0.2.0 version that adds new car - Buggy for better raiding biter's nest Hope you enjoy that. If you have any suggestion or ideas please share them with me ^^

Compatibility for 0.12.3 would be nice

Your 0.12.3 is about half a year older than 0.12.26 (the version this mod is working for, should also work with 0.12.29).

The Factorio version numbering system is a little bit confusing for some, it is 0.12.[x], where x increases by one each version. So it goes 0.12.0 to 0.12.9, then 0.12.10 to 0.12.19, and then 0.12.20 to 0.12.29 (current version).

So, no advanced shotgun shells here?

I'm sorry but I still haven't implement it because I'm working on bigger mod called General Improvements (or just GImprovements) that includes this mod. Soon I will post (or maybe change this thread) new update but it's still in progress If you want new advanced shotgtun shell, lemme know and I will give the priority to this one and take a look on that

New Update of old mod. I reworked the basics of mod and started to focus in more general way (instead of only weapons)

Feel free and let any feedback

The mod got updated, added compatibility for Factorio version 0.14.x

By the way guys, if you have any questions, please, lemme know

New update released. Some bugfixes and many adjustments that I didn't in last update (and should have done ^^') the changelog is in root post, enjoy!

Greetings. There was a slight problem with your mod - namely, the conflict with the mod Bob's Logistic. When you load the game gives an error message informs that cargo-wagon-2 is present in 2 copies. I ask you to solve the problem if possible. Thank you!

I'll take a look on that, first thing I must figured how to rename it without losing the item/entity from users that already have the mod. (hope it shouldn't be big problem).

EDIT: ok already done, you can download 0.4.3 hotfix it should be ok now

I am getting an error message at game startup when attempting to use this mod with NEW VERSION 14.4. It states:

Error while loading entity prototype "GI-cargo-wagon-2"
(cargo-wagon): No such node (vertical_selection_shift)
Modifications: gimprovements

I deleted all my other mods, bringing Factorio to "vanilla" condition and installed just this mod to ensure it was not conflicting with another mod and still got the error.

Hello, the research you're looking for is called "Battery 2". It has the same picture as research for personal Battery (equipment) - it's supposed to be a successor for equip battery as much as for charging accumulator.
Hope it helped

Sorry, it kinda mess up with other mod (logistic mining) so it doesnt appear. After i disable that mod that accumulator appear.

thanks for helping.

it's probably because other mods can use the same id-name for technology such as mine. It's been a time that I work with mod but I can try to fix that. Which mod is causing conflict? I'll try to take a look if the mod has the research with same name.

Hey there, I downloaded your mod recently and noticed that the Thermosolar panels are only producing 300kw of energy, and the in-game mod version is only showing as 4.0. Do I have to install it from the site to get the most updated version?
