Factorio Forums

hello,

im new to modding so i need some help here. Im unable to use the bob mods with the new update 0.12.02. I check the mod requirments in menu and it say >= 12.0 that sound like it should work with them. Why the mods are disabled now?

Edit: Yes i use the correct mods i played in version 0.12.01 and worked now this save files are not useable anymore (and a new game the mods are disabled).

Thx for the help.

Hi there,

It would seem that the mods are only for 0.12.0 or at lease that is their dependencies, I have that same issue with most mods .

Hopefully Bobs mod is updated to the build soon as with all the major mods

Hope this helps, I won't play yet until most of my favourite mods are fixed to the new stable build.

I have 12.2 version of the game and everything works fine. As for dependencies it is the lowest possible version the mod will work on, not only version. (notice >= symbols)

All current releases in the 0.12.x download page should work with 0.12.2, that is the version I am currently using here.

Could you possible show any error messages so I can try and track down the issue?

you updated some parts of youre mod without increaseing their version number,
thats propably the reason why ppl use bad combinations =)

I haven't done that again in weeks!

Unfortunaly there is no error message at all. It just mark the mods in red and wont load them. I reinstall entire Factorio and downloaded the mods again but still same result. After "downgrading" the version to 0.12.01 the mods are working again without any issues. (without reinstalling the mods).

crysanja: No i didnt change anything at all. I just download the newest mods (Dytech, Bob and landfill) and put them in the mod folder and deinstalled all old one. So reason why that should be a problem. Also one of the three mods is working (landfill).

I started my first run with bob's.

Just dled all modules without enemeys, activated all modules and run my factorio 0.12.2.

Works all fine

You didn't mention before that you were running with more than just bob's mods. Are you sure it's an issue with mine, and not one of the others?

What does the redded out one say when you click on it, it should list all the prerequisites on a page, are any of those red?

This is what I have and I reinstalled all my mods today and I think that this what he is talking about. Yes I have other mods but shouldn't interfere with bobs mods and I also have the 0.12.2 base game.

Yes excalty that happend to me too. Also i test with bob only still same issue.

It looks like the base mod is not activated. Can you check this?

Base mod is a mod. I have had it before where if you delete the mod-list.json file it disables ALL mods even Base.

My mods are redded out because they have a check for Base >= 0.12.0, which seems to have failed.

In either of these cases (Base is disabled when it shouldn't be, or the >= check is failing) This should be something reported to the game devs.

As mentioned, look for Base in that list and make sure it's turned on, short of this I don't know what to sugest other than downgrading back to 0.12.0 or 0.12.1.

If Base isn't in the list, check the mod-list.json file in the mods folder and find base, and manually change it to say true. If it isn't in the list in the file add it.

Thx that did the trick

Thank you for your help, I guess I will have to wait a little while longer. I don't want to have to rollback versions and I can do other things while I wait.
Have a good day and I am looking forwards to playing your mods soon

Kind regards

I not sure here is the right place to posst this. But, anyway. I have a problem with one of your mods. Im playing using all of your mods and im 20 hours or so in the game. I was about to start making advanced solar and went looking for silver. The problem i have is that there is no silver in the map. Actually, there is but only four little squares. Im using someone`s else plane mod and went looking around the base. In a pretty huge search area there was only that. Any way to fix this without restarting? Thanks

You can try regenerting the ore, see if that helps.
use this command

/c game.regenerate_entity("silver-ore")

Thanks.
I used the command and expanded the search area (figured it would not work in already revealed area) a littte and found some.
