[MOD 0.11.x] Miniaturization

[Schmendrick]

Adds technology [chain] "Miniaturization." Unlocks with advanced materials processing and optics.

Miniaturization 1 is a (new) prerequisite for modular armor; Miniaturization 2 is required for Mk2 components (shields and batteries).

Enables building miniature versions of the three assembling machines, which are 2x2 instead of 3x3 but more limited in their capabilities. Also adds a mini electric furnace - handy for saving space and requiring less retooling of your old burner furnace setup - if you can wait long enough for the research, anyway.

Limiting an assembler to one ingredient is... pretty limiting! (Level 3 assemblers can handle three ingredients which is enough for many common items.) Normal assembling machine included in picture for scale.

• v0.1.1: Made compatible with Factorio 0.11.x, tweaked recipes a little.

May use the small electric furnace for my youtube series " Mod Madness "

Man, this is SO weird. I was making this EXACT SAME MOD. Same name, even.

I suppose I'll probably still make it- I'm going to be doing solar panels and steam engines too (at least), and I'm planning on fitting it in with a resource replication system and a branch of crafting that uses microsingularities and liquid nitrogen. But it's super weird that I had the same idea! Even resized the sprites already.

resized the sprites already.

If you use Scale for the entities factorio will shrink the images for you.

That's why Miniaturization is so tiny.


In any case, I recently decided to branch this off of a larger, more ambitious mod I have been working on. (I figured cutting it into pieces makes it more likely I'll actually get work done on it.)

Apologies for the ancient bump, but is there a chance this mod will be updated to 11.x?

[Schmendrick]

It should work fine in 0.11.x. I can change the thread title accordingly if it would make people feel better.

I get this-

Error while loading entity prototype "mini-assembling-machine-2"
(assembling-machine): No such node (width)
Modifications: Miniaturization

[Airat9000]

good!! dytech furnage in create very beatiful

[FreeER]

(assembling-machine): No such node (width)
Modifications: Miniaturization

frame_width and frame_height changed to width and height in 11.8, for consistency with sprites, should just be a matter of using find/replace in the prototype files (notepad++ can do all files in a directory, and sub-directories, if you're on windows).

[JJosh]

Alright, I've got them changed. Now I get this:

Error while loading entity prototype "mini-electric-furnace" (furnace):
No such node (crafting_categories)
Modifications: Miniturization

I made sure to search the releases forum in case it was a similar issue as the previous. I'm still sorry to bother and greatful for the help.

[Schmendrick]

Oh, man, I just noticed that I updated my local copy but never uploaded it (or changed the version number, which is why I continued to think the uploaded version was fine). Seriously sorry about that.

[Wiloxe]

This is excellent for small spaces to work with when making auto-crafting!
Maybe add support for other assembling machine's from other mods (Dytech/Bob's)? Would be great!

Also as always keep up the awesome work!

[Factorio2016]

can someone update it?
