Okay, the merged modules can't be configured to add extra effects, but if you look at their costs, to produce one raw productivity module costs almost as much as the 3 modules, productivity, polution cleaning, and effectivity. if you change the config to include the speed drop, raw productivity also requires to cost to build a speed and another effectivity module to cancel out.

But yeah, some of the options you can change if you download the config mod are: How much of each stat on the modules, do you need speed on productivity or not, and is there a "Productivity filter" that locks them to only be able to be used on certain things. You can also outright turn off merged modules.

if you find the default settings too easy, I strongly sugest you take a look at the config mod and play with the values, and turn on productivity filters.


Having said that, I have thought about changing the values for the next release (for 0.13)

We noticed putting productivity modules in assemblies that empty and fill petrol barrels are a way to multiply the petrol. I think in vanilla it's not possible to put modules in such cases ?
Thanks !

It "should" be enabled by default in the next version.

That is not a bug. The Beacon does not transmit productivity, and God Modules have productivity on them. The modules that do not work in it are Productivity, Raw Productivity and God, all others work with it.

Also, a side note, I like how the beacon is basically called "Mark" in russian XD

It seems to be incompatible with both of these mods (Factorio version 0.13)

He did not

At least when I "Borrowed" Icons from other people's mods, like DyTech at the time (for things like the Glass icon... I can't think of anything else right now), I atleast asked if I could use it.

Seriously though, those icons are taken stright from my mod, not only do they have the quirky names like far, the express inserter icon is still named purple!

What did he do, edit my mod and re-release it? That's a clear violation of the liscence! If you look on the mod portal, the liscence is listed as custom, distribution or private use only. that means no modification, and no corporate use. with hold liable and copyright declaration. Although probably burried somewhere, there is a topic about it on the forums too. (I really should clean up and stickify the liscence)

I mean, it has been done before, with bobwarfare, someone edited that so it didn't depend on plates, but they told me, and I let them do it. And Athmagor wanted to create a single bobmod compilation mod, with changes, to which I said no, as a compromise he basically made a mod that performs all his changes, with all mine as a dependancy. from what I can tell he's outright stollen my work and redistributed it as his own.

Anyway, lets hope it's not as bad as it sounds... if all he's taken is icons, well, he can have the inserters, but it would have been nice if he asked first.
