Hey guys.

Using the awesome py mods with no others

How am I supposed to use Py Bots before I discover blue science. I can build the bots and the base stations but can't find any chests that the bots will recognise so the lazy buggers won't build anything

Cheers.

They use all vanilla chests o-o

Ok then I guess I'm building manually until I skunk some blue science.

You dont need blue science.If your only using PyIndustry, Vanilla storage and Passive providers are only locked behind Red/Green.

The logistic/logistic bot research is red & green, but it needs Fuel Production and Advanced electronics, both of which require blue science (PyIndustry 1.1.0)

Don't worry, its not my first time skunking blue science in these modpacks

Ah damm:( Something must have changed as i am using all 5 mods and i was using the super cool robots with chests well before blue science, but you are correct they are now locked behind them 2 blue science's

If you play alone with pyIndustry...yes. But with other py mods it tends to be unlocked with only red and green.

I am using all the Py mods I think, but no others.

I can confirm this as well. All pymods, no other tech-tree-affecting mod. Logistic robots only need red/green, but have a dependency on some blue techs.

Fuel Production and Advanced electronics,

Pretty sure these. I'll doublecheck later.

the first robots (potato and tomato ones) are made without problem right? As well as the logistic chests, ok? The only issue is the unlock, right?

Yeah, with all 5 mods installed you can make your bots fine, the problem is you need blue science to unlock any chests.

Storage chest and passive providers are unlocked via tech "Construction Robotics" or " Logistic Robotics" both of which Require "Fuel Production" and " Advanced Electronics", which are both blue science

Fixed

Dang, I just got my Nanobot line set up

Looks like my bot swarm will be finally be able to get off the ground once this goes live

Fixed

As long as you're rooting around in there, stack inserter research has the same problem with those two techs. Stack inserters need circuit 2s, but the tech itself and the first non-stack inserter +1 bonus below it should otherwise be reachable without blue science.

Latest and greatest version, Factorio experimental.

Industry appears to have dependency on Coal Processing, even though it's listed as optional:



Issue? Or WAD?

Probably my fault. Will fix

I updated the mods to fix the thing with the logistic chests not be available without blue science.

Major: My character inventory has disappeared from view when I press E. It is still there because I can access it when I click on a chest, but I can no longer access my own inventory standing alone

Minor: Even tho the tree to the logistics tech is now open, it is still forbidden in my game, presumably because the part of the games interpretation of the tech tree data has not bee updated even though I updated the mod.
