this version brings some new graphics and some minor but important changes. please read the notes below the screenshot (dark-floor tiles from yi-railways).


Always Backup your Savegame before Update !

changes/fixes:
- ground floor lamps have no collision-box and can placed/removed with robots
- repair-icons and smelter-product-icons changed, to get better visual feedback
- plasma-capsules can used in Energy-Gun
- weapon energy cartridges also taken from plasma-turrets
- power-armor inventory-boni changed
- YI-Roboports transfer much more charge-power
- retrade from Reputation into Signs removed
- both "brown"-modules removed
- removed some leftovers (SCD-Accumulators, Steam-Powerplant, SS-Turbine-P and -T)

new:
- electric structure element (for later recipe-changes)
- Techanic-Module (similar to old better brown module)
- Science-Module (better productivity)
- mastercrafted green boiler 4M2/4 (green 3M6/4)
- YI-Personal-Roboport to get YI-Robots charged

new Basement-Decoration-Set (Theme)
- basement-factory
- ground-floor lamp (2x2)
- 7 basement-tiles 5x5
- 1 basement-tile 4x4

Have fun testing & playing with this stuff.
But i'am not sure what the devs have in mind with decorative-items. So as always despite testing - errors can occur.

In the next days updates for YI-Engines and YI-Railways will follow.

But the top temperature seems to be 485 degrees.
Is there any way to reach 500 degrees?
Or is it just a bug?

i'am not sure if factorio restore at any time the old boiler behavior or not. The problem is, boilers don't heat anymore - boiler bump/raise instant to a fixed temperature and to make things better restricted to ONE fluid. in 0.14 the boilers could take any fluid and heated the fluid ... before i make changes is will see how this all develops. i know the system is broken/unbalanced.

because in factorio update-process from 0.14 to 0.15 and following versions the used entity-type was removed.
it was not possible for me to get the old behavior back (0.14). these shown things all don't work anymore and cause issues for you as player (placing is annoying, no robot-support, no blueprints etc. - i tested this). i had invested a lot of time to make these gfx, but now i wait for a final version of factory to minimize my time wastings.

future update maybe breaks the rest of these lamp-types.

And apart from what happens if I didn't use your tech-tree mod, would vanilla recipe also be unusable?
Sry for my band english

i don't understand the context ? - YI-Mod releated ?

And it seems to be about 15x-20x more efficient than Boiler 3M6/4 -> Steam Turbine -> 3.3 Generator chain. Or any other steam based chain. Is It supposed to be like so? Or am I missing something?
To compare them I created a small network and dropped a single 6MJ fuel block into the SFE. I then opened the Electric network info screen at the "1m" tab. It showed ~500kW has been produced. (My consumption was enough to eat all this energy in less than 1 minute)
I dropped 51 of 6MJ fuel blocks into the Boiler 3M6/4. I had to drop so many because that's what 1 cycle of the steam turbine takes. I got 1.5 mW of energy. 51x more fuel spent, only 3x the energy. But it is somewhat in line with the vanilla energy production. SFE on the other hand seems too efficient.

If you post or PM what values you think things should be producing I could have a look at it for you if you like. I was digging into the generator code for another mod yesterday so it's fresh in my head.

400 °C MF - needed fluid-taken 3.3 MW, 5.6 MW, 9.7 MW, 15 MW, 50 MW
but the MF temperature range is 150°C - 500°C ... a fixed 500°C input would always display wrong values.
I think it's easier to stick with vanilla energy system.
