When will there be a release for 2.0.54?

I have released updated versions of Bob's mods. I'm currently working on updating Angel's mods. They will be released once they are ready

Nice, im a huge fan of A&B. Yea, and i wanted to ask whether "Angel's Exploration (Beta)" is also updated then, bc it adds the craziness i'd like, but i see how big it might be.. there's not really a way to help ya out? bc i've learned a bit coding back in the days and maybe it'll not be that hard to get into it again?

Cargo Ships Mod seems to have some degree of compatibility that needs to be adjusted to the lastest versions. Please report to Cargo Ships Mod.

Hi, it looks as though the Bronze Smelting L2 recipe isn't available as a signal in the combinators.
Image shows recipe is researched, but not in the signal list.

Angels Smelting: V2.0.0

And thanks to all the developers bringing Angels/Bobs to Factorio 2.0. It's a lot of fun to play in the latest version

Description

In the current tech and recipe setup, batteries can only be produced in a low-temperature / cryogenic crafting machine.
That machine becomes available only after progressing to another planet.

Within the normal Factorio + Space Age progression, batteries are a core early-to-mid game component (power infrastructure, robots, multiple science chains) and are required before any form of interplanetary travel is possible.

This results in a hard progression lock: the player cannot advance to the point where the required machine is unlocked, because batteries are already needed earlier in the tech tree.

Expected behavior

Battery production should be available using:

a standard assembling machine, or

an early-game Angel’s machine that is unlocked on the starting planet,
consistent with previous Angel’s mod versions and vanilla progression.

Actual behavior

The battery recipe is restricted to a cryogenic / low-temperature machine that is gated behind off-planet Space Age technology, making battery production impossible during the intended early game phase.

Additional context

This looks like a recipe category or technology assignment issue introduced during the Factorio 2.0 / Space Age adaptation, rather than an intentional progression change.

did some testing myself looks like it is this snippet in angelsrefining/prototypes/items/refining-ores.lua , what I did is simply change 64 to 32, there is probably some more sophisticated way to do that but I did this and my game loads now so thats all that matters to me : ^) thanks for your updates Arch

if settings.startup["angels-tryptophobia-friendly-stiratite"].value == true then
angel_ore_3.icon = "__angelsrefininggraphics__/graphics/icons/angels-ore3/angels-ore3.png"
angel_ore_3.icon_size = 32
else
angel_ore_3.icon = "__angelsrefininggraphics__/graphics/icons/angels-ore3/angels-ore3-HR.png"
angel_ore_3.icon_size = 64
angel_ore_3.pictures = {

Fixed, ready for next version.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying it!

I'm guessing this is an issue with Artisanal Reskins mod. No idea why we didn't see it in testing! I've passed it along to the AR dev

First, a disclaimer: There has been no attempt at making Angel's mods work with Space Age. If things do work, it is by coincidence. I decided not to mark Space Age as incompatible as this would prevent anyone else creating compatibility mods.

Having said that, I can see what is causing the issue here. I'll have it fixed next version. Definitely not intended!

I haven't been able to reproduce this. Can you post your log file please?
