Re: How do I reserach

If you're in the situation where you're starting without the ability to make electricity, and need to research it, then there should be a burner powered lab.

of course, if you're running Angels, then that takes over, so my advice might not be helpful.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was curious about updates to Bob's Power and what the chances were of seeing a 3x3 Substation 5, to better match assemblers/labs?
Why do you specifically want it to be 3x3? All other substations are 2x2.

Re: Playing bobs mods as it is meant.

Basically, the correct way to play Bob's Mods as they're meant to be, is to install them all. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=55347 This topic lists them all, the dropbox links are a bit out of date now though as the latest versions aren't on there. Reset options to default if n...

Re: [1.1] Bob's Mods: General Discussion

Hi! I played with pure speed/prod modules before, but this time I really used Helmod to map out the chains and it looks like pure productivity and speed modules are a clear upgrade on normal ones, while basically being only negligibly more expensive. So it looks like it is an either or situation: e...

Re: Robochest is harmful

There are quite a few solutions to the Robochest issue. Part of the reason why you end up with the huge queues for docking is that either your robots aren't busy enough, you have too many, or you've positioned the robochest poorly. Ideally, it should be "Behind" an array of charging pads. ...

Re: [1.1] Bob's Mods: General Discussion

I can use commands or hack save files with hex editor or anything if someone tell what to change. Vanilla li...

Re: Pre-requisite mods vs stand alone mods

If you have bobplates aka MCI aka "Bob's Metals, Chemicals and Intermedites mod" installed, you need Bobores too, everything else should be pick and choose optional. You can actually just add Bob ores to the game at this point, there is a command you can enter to regenerate all of the ores...

Why is Bob’s Character Classes so rarely used?
Hard to say exactly. Perhaps because it adds little to game play, and is a comparability issue with other major mods and mod packs, most prominent being Space Exploration.

Isn't that just the Steam prototype having a max_temperature set to 1000? Space Exploration has 5000 degree steam for it's anti-matter and energy beam stuff, and it's fine.
I'm sure it used to be more complicated than that, but if that's all it takes to fix it now, that's not bad.
