As of 0.12.4, the Library Mod is required.


The Electronics mod adds a whole new electronics tree that replaces the base game electronics. This has been previously seen in Bob's Intermediates, or Bob's Metals, Chemicals and Intermediates mods.

When I start the next world then I definitely use this. But in my current world is would break everthing and I don't want to rebuild all. I already must build the second generation of my modules factory.

Tiny patchs of Galena, which gives lead ore should apear in the starting area already.
I did this and added the second solder recipe that uses lead to make solder easier to make.
This should make it possible to build the Advanced Electronics "Electronic circuit board" using resources found only in the starting area.

I know that feeling, I did it in my world, and I'm like... Yes, this works, but now all these old circuit factories are useless X3

It also took me a couple of hours to build the new module factory chains, and alter the old ones for the new recipes.

Can you make the code compatible with other mods(DyTech, etc.) ?

With the added modding interface of V0.11 data-updates.lua and data-final-fixes.lua, you can make mods that do things AFTER the initial modding definition. I added the code for this mod in final fixes, so it should happen last. I did this on purpose to try and make it compatable with as many mods as possible, and with the mods I tested it with, replaced electronics as I intended.

Did you try it with other mods to see what happened?

Bobingabout i have big question for you - why for electonics need too many wood??? One key phrase - need wood!!! Many wood! Now for the game necessarily need mod treefarm, i think it's not funny, really
So where now red, blue circuits? and purple circuit that was added with dytech

Can you rework this mod and rewatch usage of the wood resources? why not to return to usage of iron and steel in recipies of electonics ?
How make science pack 8 which need purple curcuit? Which technology i need?

Because this is so wood heavy is why I made it an optional seperate mod, rather than intergrating it into Metals, Chemicals and Intermediates. THIS IS OPTIONAL!

This is supposed to be a more realistic representation of what things are made of, and in the real world, low grade electronic boards are made from crushed paper infused with Resin. Well, Paper is made from wood, therefore, I used wood.

The base game's use of Iron and copper cables for Electronic Circuits confused me, because, well, you need something non-conductive. I guess this is why Advanced Electronics were made with Plastic.


Science pack 8? I didn't know there even was one...

How odd... I am obviously missing something...
the data.lua file for this mod is one of the very last data.lua files to load, which means the final-fixes version is likely the only final fixes file being loaded, so nothing should be trying to access electronic circuits after it.

Back to the drawing board with this one I guess, I'll see if I can fix it.

it would help if you could try turning off all these mods, and try loading the game turning them on one by one to find out which ones break it, that's quite an extensive list to go through.

I think the issue is that I deleted the base game electronics recipe, when what I should have done is Disabled it, and made all instances of it give my electronics instead.

However, this doesn't take into account special case scenarios like the blueprints, where resetting them requires electroics, this was broken.

So I released a new version that goes the other way around, replaing all instances of my electronics in recipes with the base game's version, but then alters the base game items to look like mine, with recipes to match mine.

Give this a try, see if it works any better.

Is this "thing" specifically related to Sandro's problem (or the changes you did for that), or is this something everyone should install? :)

the "thing" was a result of something I did in 0.1.1 that meant you had 2 identical items side by side (My electronics, and the base game's electronics that were re-defined to apear as my electronics) when you went into the logistic system to choose filters, request items etc, and only one of those 2 items were buildable.
the 0.1.2 fix removed the duplicate.
0.1.1 should have fixed Sandro's problem.

Everyone who wants to use this mod should probably use 0.1.2.
