Hi guys, I'm back, my apologies for disappearing for such an incredibly long time. I have plans to continue this mod sometime in the near future, but for now I have added a link to the continuation which is being managed by Erdbeerbaer. My plans (if I ever find time to implement them) are to start ...

Hi Arch666Angel,

I have encountered an issue with your Bio Processing, Refining, Petrochem and Smelting mods. When bobplates is installed without bobelectronics the game fails to start due to missing items, the following items are introduced by bob electronics and should have a separate optional ...

Why are the underground accumulators transfers energy very slow? I have 18 accumulators, but it only can transfer 16 MW
You can thank the factorio devs for breaking the old electric poles, unfortunately changing the values won't achieve much. In reality, they should be able to transfer 45MW
Can i ...

For example if i build a warehouse, i can use loaders to input but not output from the underground version of it.

wierd, I don't know why it's doing this.

I have also discovered this incompatibility. Squeak-Through is first to report the error, declaring that the mod attempts to index a nil value "?" on line 110. Surfaces does not report.

The line of code itself is the line responsible for adjusting hitboxes in Squeak-Through, by the look of it ...

Thanks for the heads up, I will look into it.

I have no idea how to do this, but I would like to do this.

Really enjoying your mod, it is well designed. I have one concern, the recipes are not localised, perhaps you could add a suffix of -9999 to them and not prefix them, so that they inherit the regular locale, just an idea.

Hy everyone, I just want to appologies for not having updated the mod yet, I wanted to get an extensive feel of the new update before I did that !
But I will get to it, You should be able to expect an updated version sometime next week !


Hi, I don't know if someone already asked (Not seen in ...

This mod doesn't seem to work on my existing save. Do I need to generate new map to be able to travel to different surfaces? Or execute some command that creates different surfaces?

Also describing process of teleporting between surfaces would be nice. From scripts it whould seems the player only ...

The platform access shafts are a bit buggy at the moment, try mining the ladder and replacing it where it was, then go near the ladder again.

I have problems with this too, grabbing data.raw using data-updates, data-final-fixes and data is sometimes not enough to "copy" entity/tile/item icons and graphics, it would be great to be able to grab icons/gfx being used at a particular moment in time and overlay images in Lua. I would love to ...

I agree

It is not impossible to make a mod determine what would be dropped by an entity when it was mined, see here: https://github.com/Simcra/Surfaces/blob/7b29eb3145580a479b9296255566d2e2f69fbd71/script/lib/api-util.lua#L110
This would be useful as a function of LuaEntity as I'm not entirely sure if this ...

I understand that LuaEntityPrototype contains items_to_place_this, sometimes this is incredibly useful and sometimes it is not. If each LuaEntity contained the player index (if placed by a player, or nil otherwise) as well as the item prototype used to place it, entities could be reverted to their ...

Currently, the LuaEntity teleport function only works for players when used to teleport an entity to another surface, the workaround is to create an entity of the same type on the other surface, copy data from the old entity and then delete the old entity. This creates a large portion of extra work ...

Carriages, locomotives, and cargo_wagons are all existing array variables for each LuaTrain. LuaTrain also contains front_rail, back_rail, rail_direction_from_front_rail and rail_direction_from_back_rail. It would be nice if we had a function or variable that stored a reference to the current front ...

Just uploaded my local changes to the github repo. I've put a few things in there that might be helpful, also modified a few things which will probably break your mod, sorry

I don't think there's much additional coding needed on your end to allow outside mods to use your code to make stuff that links up between levels.
Yes, I've working on this among the other general structure with the surfaces mod, the current github version differs from my local version but I will ...

well, good luck with that ! if you have an idea on how to set it up, let me know, we could work on it together ! (And I would also implement it in Subsurfaces (if the idea match my criteria))
I'm more than happy to work with you! I have sent some info through on skype and will keep you in the loop ...
