Would it be possible to make things toggle-able or in separate mods? I'd like to use some parts of this mod, but not others. I really want to use Fusion & the MagLev trains!

[MidnightsFX]

Any kind of tips on how to get the farms working? I have a fairly empty GUI. (I have researched farming 1 and 2, this is a new game). I am also assuming they need water?

I will split the mod. But first I want to see which parts popular to make a sensible cut.

I had forgotten to add the recipes to the techs. You can enable them in the console. Will be added in the next version.
/c game.player.force.recipes["basic-farm"].enabled = true
/c game.player.force.recipes["advanced-farm"].enabled = true

[Aubog007]

The suggestion to split probably comes from potential incompatibility with other mods that do somewhat similar functions.

Like bob's.

[MidnightsFX]

I'm liking the mod so far. Thanks for updating and fixing the farms

So far - using farming to supplement my oil supply, I am liking that. Question though, if I was only using 'Beyond' how would I supplement my Sulfuric Acid supply? As far as I can see I would still need a large enough oil production plan to provide the ever useful petroleum gases required to make that.

Also another potential bug? it looks like silicons name is not displaying properly.

I wanted to add support for this mod to RSO but would have small request first - can you change resource named "i" into something more meaningfull?

Hints as to planned rarity/size of resources added by mod would be helpful.

I will change it to "silicon-ore" in the next version (I hope today).

Silicon should not be in the starting area, has about the same rarity/size as coal.
Lithium brine is also not in the starting area, about the same rarity as oil. Same number of wells as oil, but the yield/richness should be halved.

Like that

Code: Select all

config["silicon-ore"] = {
    type="resource-ore",
    
    allotment=60,
    spawns_per_region={min=1, max=1},
    richness=12000,
    size={min=20, max=30},
    min_amount = 350
  }
  
  config["lithium-brine"] = {
    type="resource-liquid",
    
    minimum_amount=10000,
    allotment=70,
    spawns_per_region={min=1, max=2},
    richness={min=5000, max=15000}, -- richness per resource spawn
    size={min=2, max=5}
  }

And if you are currently working on it, can you reduce the starting area size of Uranium Ore to 1/10th, e.g. "starting={richness=2000, size=10, probability=1}", for my other mod Nucular. That would be awesome.

[orzelek]

I'll look at it closer to end of the week.
I need to check with Nucular since uranium seems to be very rare with it and I'm not sure if it should be that hard to find.

[Overene]

Has potential, but IMO it's not in a very usable state right now. Many of the new items have no name and I've encountered various minor bugs/incompatibilities, etc.

[Smoovious]

Found a conflict between your mod, and Factorio Directed by Michael Bay...

I'm getting the following error:
Error while loading entity prototype "fusion-reactor"
(assembling machine): Prototype "fusion-reactor" registered twice
Modifications: Beyond > Factorio Directed by Michael Bay

Using your most recent mod (and Factorio Directed...'s) compatible with Factorio 0.13.19

-- Smoov

[Simdezimon]

I have released a new version. It changes the processing unit recipe a bit and also adds a new advanced processing unit. I have also buffed tier 3 modules, but they require more technologies and resources now.

Also this update works finally with factorio version 0.14.

[siggboy]

Seeing how great and well balanced Nucular is, I'm looking forward to this -- especially since you seem to put emphasis on "balance" (which Bob's Mods doesn't really).

[appex213]

Will this work with Bob's mods? I have a save with 80+ hours and i'm running out of stuff to do.

[AxoRex97]

Very interesting concept! I look forward to actually launching rockets for a purpose. I have one request: please allow the maglev trains to use rocket fuel
Edit: It seems regular trains can't use it either...is it intended or an oversight?

[Northgate]

A lot of it sounds very good! I'm already using Nucular in every game so I'm looking forward to Fusion Power. I noticed some overlapping with Bob's Mods(Titanium, Lithium, Silicon) and Bio Industries (Farming, Wood Pulp). I would prefer it if these parts of your mod would be in a separate package to increase the compatibility with Bob's Mods and Bio Industries. Thanks!

I second that request! Can we get the fusion power in a separate package please?

[Nascent]

Having serious difficulty with some of the recipe changes -- seems to be no silicon ore on the map (started new game with Beyond), in fact there's none whatsoever. Please provide a fix for this or list out any other mods Beyond requires in order to work properly.

I found silicon ore which works with some of Bobs recipes but not others.
(can make glass but not silicon plate)

[armedwithpuns]

loving the mod so far, but just one query, mag levs use magnetic levtation, hence their name, so irl, they use electricity, but in the mod they need to be resupplied with a fuel (coal, wood, etc) can the maglev train be made to use electricity? or at least add in another maglev that runs on electricity?
