There was an undocumented change in either lua character handling or the implementation of log(). Non ASCII characters are now converted to their UTF8 encoding and written in UTF8 encoding in the log. I wonder why, lua was supposedly character encoding agnostic.

As a programmer, I understood why it worked. However, as a user of another code, there is always the conflict: what should be supported, the documented behavior or the real implemented behavior. Either can change without notice. I come to hate seeing code like the following though :D if(software_ver...

Hello Bob, I found a problem in your prototype definition for "bob-burner-generator" Found in bobpower 0.18.5 Description: according to wiki definition of BurnerGenerator and EnergySource , I expected the field 'burner' to have defined the type as "burner". Instead it does not ha...

Hello, That might be the case with the tool-tip, but it should still reflect the reality not an alternate, possible, reality. It misses a specific ingredient, the assembler has a specific recipe, it cannot magically craft the gears from the plates without external help. I understand the flow running...

Short description There is a desync in the information shown in the recipe tool-tip and the in-game reality. It does not happen for all recipes, it might be due to recipe ingredients sorting. Version where it happens: Factorio 0.18.17 (windows portable if that matters) Steps to reproduce 1) Have an ...

Hello Bob, For burner lab you have inconsistent icon specifications between entity and item. Item (bobtech/prototypes/item/item.lua) icon = "__bobtech__/graphics/icons/lab-red.png", icon_size = 32, Entity (bobtech/prototypes/entity/entity.lua) icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/lab.png&q...

More dependencies bobelectronics if the recipe for "processing-electronics" has "silicon-nitride" as ingredient, you also need to add "ceramics" as a prerequisite for "advanced-electronics-3". One cannot craft CPU's or "advanced-processing-unit" with...

Hello Bob, I already investigated the root cause and provided the fix. If you go on that line and check the statement, think what is supposed to do then look at the state of data.raw.technology ...you will see the same. if you want to replicate: lib revamp Nuclear power overhaul - not relevant New O...

Hello Bob, More like a balance or recipe matching issue I noticed. There is no specific expensive recipe data for your custom pipes, unlike the vanilla iron pipe recipe which is split by cost: normal is 1 plate, expensive is 2. Not sure if by intent or omission, so I noted here. "Oil Processing...

Hello Bob, Whilst the issues were reported earlier and you acknowledge them as fixed, but I still encounter them with latest version of mods, I report them again bobtech_0.18.0 technology "steam-power" needs icon_size = 64 icon_mipmaps = 4 bobrevamp_0.18.0 technology "solid-fuel"...

Version from which I started observing the behavior: 0.17.46 Related to fix for bug 70993 Short Description Mod update feature does not work if some of the mods on the portal have no dependencies, not even "base". One such mod is Klonan's KS_Power . Expected Behavior As such mods are suppo...

Hello DaleStan, I would say that this is more a misunderstanding of your side than a defect on Factorio engine. For Factorio engine, there is no such thing as catalyst. Modders requested the feature but is not implemented. One thing that might trigger your confusion further is that the reporting pan...

Let's try to explain better. I would argue that enforcing rule "technology levels are contiguous" really boils down to enforcing a naming convention. I would further argue that such a rule might make sense for a unified, goal-bound team (such as Wube developer team), but enforcing it in an...

The worst part of this update is that some of the broken mods are broken because base mod naming is not contiguous...cough "energy-shield-equipment" logically followed by "energy-shield-mk2-equipment", "battery-equipment" logically followed by "battery-mk2-equipmen...

According to 0.17.23 change-log The game now checks that technology levels are contiguous. Non-upgrade technologies are now considered to be level 1; previously they were level 0. Here is a list: "energy-shield-equipment" logically followed by "energy-shield-mk2-equipment". "...

Do you have some examples?

Bobmods, multiple mods from his collection.

The number of mods broke by this release changes...is mind boggling. Renamed "electric-energy-accumulators-1" to "electric-energy-accumulators". All mods which extend in some way the accumulators. The game now checks that technology levels are contiguous. Zillions of mods with te...

Here is another 0.16.51 save (modded) that exhibits the same behavior when I try to load. While the save comes from a modded game, I load in an un-modded 0.17.5.

Hello Bob, Regarding the GUI, I was at fault. I minimal-edited the control.lua from bobinserters to get rid of the button and forgot. Your changes reinstated the button so, it is not enough just to edit control.lua from bobinserters. I still don't have a use for that button and would like to have an...

Hello Bob, Your latest change to boblogistics is not quite what I come to expect quality-wise from you. To name a few issues I encountered: Updating in a running game breaks the game play-wise. Fast inserter remains fast but filter inserter is now slower, because is converted to the new "fast f...
