At one time, I created a fork for the updated for Factorio 2.0 mod The Ruins Mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AbandonedRuins_updated_fork

For more flexibility, I separated the ruins from this mod into a separate submod The Ruins Mod - Base (Time) https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AbandonedRuins-base ...

Hello! I found one nasty bug. Unfortunately, the mod does not work in case of modified shells.

Not technically a 'bug' as I was not trying to make it work with mods.


I see... Although it doesn't change the essence of the problem. I tested your modified code - it seems to work. I posted the ...

I see. It's just a hobby. So everything is fine. Thank you!

Hello! I found one nasty bug. Unfortunately, the mod does not work in case of modified shells.

It seems that the mod does not define ammo_category = "artillery-shell", but name = "artillery-shell". And such shells as name = "napalm-artillery-shell", name = "atomic-artillery-shell", name = "poison ...

Unfortunately, during testing it turned out that the "spike-effect" does not work. Biters do not attack spikes.

Another problematic point was also revealed. Pentapods creatures have the ability to destroy buildings under their feet while walking. But in the case of the "land-mine" this effect does ...

Warning, as usual I haven't tested any of that, but hopefully you're getting good enough to fix any typos I've made?


Unfortunately, you had too high an opinion of my abilities...

I couldn't figure out this error:


__Poisonous_barbed_spikes__/control.lua:5: attempt to index field 'event' (a ...

Unfortunately, I was wrong. Enemies attack spikes only within the framework of priorities - in the absence of more important targets.

If enemies see the character or other objects and buildings - enemies ignore spikes and stupidly crawl on them until they die. Which breaks the entire game balance ...

Thank you very much!

I made the changes you suggested to the code and everything worked out! Thank you! Everything works even better than in the old version. (Just in case, I am attaching the file with the changes.)

However, now I will rebalance the spikes. Because enemies die on them almost ...

In general, I tried to change the "turret" type to the "land-mine" type.... Some kind of crap came out...

And some strange error. It complains about "unknown damage". As I understand it - that for "land-mine" damage of the "poison" type is unacceptable.

As they say - "the trick failed - the fakir ...

Thanks for the advice! Strange... I always thought that the Space Age would load first and therefore it is not necessary to write a dependency on it... It is enough to write a condition...

Now I will know...

I once again encounter the fact that standard scripts do not see entities on other planets except Navius. And with an almost identical error

For example, such a script:
data.raw.item["small-stomper-pentapod"].loot = {{count_max = 25, count_min = 5, item = "spoilage", probability = 1}}
Error:

As for publishing the mod, I'd prefer if you did it as it was you're idea, and I'm trying to only make mods for things I think should be in Factorio Vanilla.

And a completely unrelated thing I noticed when testing that it worked in Russian, the name of the space-age mod isn't translated to ...

Sorry! Was lazy, busy, and sick. And then I was working on my own mods (I now have 9!)
I'll look at it tomorrow!


Got it. Congratulations! Get well soon! Just wanted to remind you... What if you forgot?... After all, so much work has been done - it's a shame to abandon it....

I also have a ...

Good day! So how is the mod? Have you tried it yet?

I think that the developers tried to pay tribute to the aesthetics of the platforms, so that they would be more visually similar to the popular idea of ​​​​spaceships associated with water transport

I don't see any other reasons to determine the speed qualities of platforms by their width ...

Unfortunately, I don't quite understand the essence of the whole problem with the mod you mentioned. Both vanilla and the mod use unrealistic acceleration mechanics.

But if we are talking about real airless space, then speed has nothing to do with mass... Mass is only related to acceleration. The ...

The only other main complaint I have with space age would be that platform speed depends significantly on the width, but very little on the weight, but there's already a mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Rocs-Improved-Platform-Drag) that fixes that; I don't want to use it though as it feels like ...

Fair enough!
What I want though is a mod that makes rocket silos work with mixed cargo (so it can automatically request lots of different stuff from the logistics network to fill a rocket, thus minimising the total number of rocket launches), you think you could do that?


What did you want me to ...

Oh god, why... the recipes are already complex enough already


I just have this desire. To add a little more realism to the game...

That's why I gave the mod a corresponding name. In reality, it's not that scary - because I plan to make many modules universal. And they will simply replace ...

Are you suggesting a single Assembler making stuff in stages? (So it makes the intermediate thing first, and then automatically makes the final product)? Because I've done something like that with the circuit network, but it is slow due to trash slots...


No, it's simpler. New intermediate items ...
