[0.16.x] Bob's Mods: General Discussion

[bobingabout]

Updates from my modding work over the past week.



Vehicle quipment 0.16.1:
Increase plasma cannon range to 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64 for the 6 tiers.
Increase projectile speed from 0.3 to 1.
Also added direction_deviation = 0 and range_deviation = 0 to plasma cannon
Changed fluid wagon grid type to not include "cargo-wagon", excluding roboports from being used.
Upgraded artillery cannon grid to armored type, and removed cargo-wagon, excluding roboports from being usable.
Added armoured type grids to bob-artillery-wagon-2 and 3


warfare 0.16.2:
Added Artillery wagon 2 and 3 (locale entry auto-translates to the base game artillery wagon of your own locale)
Added Artillery turret 2 and 3 (Same as above)
Decreased collision box of radar so it is possible to walk between it and other entities.
Increased range of radar long range scan by 1 per tier.



There are a few other small edits and fixes through other mods that I haven't released yet. I want to do a bit more to those mods before releasing minor fixes.

Excellent work! But what do tiers 2 and 3 bring for each of these?

[bobingabout]

More health, the train can go faster, like when you want to pull it with a locomotive MK2 or MK3, turret turns faster, slightly longer range(+1 sector per tier), and probably most importantly, damage has a +30% bonus per tier. and I'm fairly sure there's a firing speed boost too.

It's not that it isn't used anymore, since it was created as a test ore.
It's more of a... It isn't used yet.
I tried to come up with ideas, and kept coming back to a result that didn't use Thorium.
And then took a break from modding, and have only really updated to 0.16, fixed bugs, and worked on extending new features so far.

Even my newly released mod was mainly just finishing off old work.

thanks bob for the info on that ore, its ok i can disable it from the setting for now, and then it should play nice with rso again

[bobingabout]

Just a minor update being released for now. There's a lot more I could release, but I want to edit a bit more first, and I'm not sure how many mods the edits will span.

Inserters 0.16.5:
Changed the top-bar button to use the mod-gui standard.

[bobingabout]

Finished the updates I was working on for Logistics.

Logistics 0.16.5:
added missing peircing damage resistance to fluid wagons
changed logistic roboport flag to goes-to-main-inventory
increased cost of Logistics 4 and 5
Added infinite research to robot carry capacity.
Added Brass chest (64 slots) and Titanium chest (80 slots)
updated graphics and added dynamic recipe of Logistic chests MK2 to use brass chest
Added Logistic chests MK3.

Is that supposed to happen?

So if I speed up the assembly machine too much (above a craftingspeed of 1150 is what I figured) it kinda breaks and gets a speed modifier of -80% of its base speed. I don't know if that is intended but I thought it might be worth noting as a potential thing that might need to be fixed (using a combination of Angels and Bobs mods)

well you got an overflow. It is not so important, as you can not get more then 1 craft per tick(60 per sec).

[bobingabout]

Crafting speed of 0.7, that's some overflow.

but as mentioned, there is a machine maximum of 1 item per tick (and another for productivity) anyway, so if you're already at 60 cycles per second, you're done.

As for the overflow itself, there's nothing I can really do about it, that's internal game mechanics.

I believe overflow was fixed recently so it should be capped for next version. (viewtopic.php?f=30&t=57425)

Added infinite research to robot carry capacity.

Along with bots that carry away a whole stack at a time?

Bob..... you are insane! LOL I can already empty a full mk3 cargo wagon in 4 seconds, you want me to do this in a tenth of a second?!

And now that I've buffed robots, and inserters, I was thinking we need some sort of buff to belts, but there's only 2 ideas I can think of. Another tier of belt... which might require another tier of inserter to be able to grab things off them, or loaders, but there's already a mod for that.

how about integration of Deadlocks Belt Mods:

i thought of doing that myself, but end up having no time for it.

You can already do that much faster with the correct angling of the inserter. I tried it with a warehouse and loaders, one express stack inserter at best angle (one square at length 3) fills a little more then 6 violet belts.

Warfare 0.16.3:
Added clamp_position = true to all artillery ammo. This should fix the min_range issue.
Also removed artillery projectile smoke from my artillery ammo, and added map reveal mechanics.


Vehicleequipment 0.16.2:
Added clamp_position = true to plasma artillery. This should fix the min_range issue.

[bobingabout]

Classes 0.16.1:
Converted some values to globals to make remote calls work. example function add_classes() in control.lua
Changed buttons to a standard style.
over-all code cleanups
Fixed builder starting inventory.
Added a technology filter on class definitions as an unlocker. Works like prerequisites on technology (need them all to unlock)
Made all 4 current classes buildable on the "Bodies" research.
Added the whole "Select a Character" menu for the multiple bodies system.
all bodies you build will be associated to you as a player so you can switch between them.

clamp_position broke my artillery range research, they now fire at things that are in range but the shells explode long before they reach the target.
