Getting rid of every technology

[Petrenko]

Heyho,

i'm starting a total conversion and want to get rid of every technology there is so i can start from anew.

I started like this:

data.raw["technology"]["military"] = nil
data.raw["technology"]["military-2"] = nil
data.raw["technology"]["military-3"] = nil
data.raw["technology"]["military-4"] = nil

.....

The error i get is "error in AssignID" starting with basic oil processing etc.

Since recipes are not dependant on technologies and thus don't interact with them, if i'm right, i can't understand why i got the errormessage.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help =)

Also: If this gets done i'll upload the .lua so fellow modders can use it.

Technologies are also referenced by some achievements. Try

Code: Select all

data.raw.technology = nil
data.raw["research-achievement"] = nil

[Petrenko]

That did something!

But sadly only one step in the right direction.

Now he's complaining about the AssignID of combat-robotics.

I wonder, if a scenario uses them, this might be a problem, too. Right?

Anyway, thanks so far! =)

I'll be looking into the combat robotics now.

Alrighty,

good news first: i got rid of every technology. no problems ingame. everything is fine.

bad news: except for achievements. all achievements are gone now since i had to =nil them. game crashes when opening the achievement tab.

all in all this isn't gamebreaking for me. i hope it won't mess up achievements for vanilla factorio.

The code for getting rid of every technology and breaking achievements:

What kind of total conversion do you do?
If I did total conversion, I would make base mod replacement, not mod that removes everything from base. But I understand it might be easier to build on top of base so you don't have to define entities from scratch.

[Petrenko]

I'm going to add a post about my total conversion when i got the basics done.

For now i got another forum post regarding steam engines without water^^

[prg]

Alrighty,

good news first: i got rid of every technology. no problems ingame. everything is fine.

bad news: except for achievements. all achievements are gone now since i had to =nil them. game crashes when opening the achievement tab.

Did you try

Code: Select all

data.raw.technology = nil
data.raw["research-achievement"] = nil

Like, literally only those two lines? That removes all the technologies in one go and only the achievements that depend on them.

[Petrenko]

Heyho,

yes i did try this. There were still achievements depending on other technologies.

And since i was tired of trying one by one i just killed them all :X

[prg]

Huh. Surprising. Works just fine for me.
