I will add my two cents of feedback about metallurgy. Firstly it looks cool, realistic and interesting. But this beauty loses Bob's legacy after simple calculations. Here is a comparison of similar factories for the production of copper plates: https://puu.sh/uZWu8/d327ad2eb7.png https://puu.sh/uZW...

The problem is if the min request size is small enough that that much might be consumed while the delivery is in progress. In that example, if you order 10k red circuits, but if the train takes a minute to go get the circuits and deliver them, and you use 200 circuits in that time, you'll get anoth...

If the steel cost was like the base game (and I wish it still was but I think it's Bob's mods that change it so I can't really remove them) this would be very much worth it since you'd get 2.5 times as much steel as usual. But as it is there's not really much point. In Bob's Plates, the data-update...

I've just discovered a minor Bob's Mods compatibility issue with the latest versions of your mods (PetroChem specifically). After researching the synthetic wood that's made with naphtha, circuit recipes from Bob's Mods prioritize the naphtha wood. The result of this is that recipes which use the ci...

The Hydro Plant recycles fluorite waste water into fluorite ore. This fluorite waste water comes from creating jivolite chunks as a liquid byproduct.

4 chemplants can overflow a pipe with the output but don't overflow a tank, so after 4 chemplant setups I have a tank as overflow buffer I think I know what you mean here. To get a good system going, I forcefully set a limit of two chemical plants per recycling recipe throughout the entire system t...

Its kinda impossible to refine 1 wasted MOX per minute with piping I'm rather curious, how many reactors are you using to burn through a MOX per minute? My current bob recycling setup permits creation of 30 MOX assemblies per hour using piping without issue, as none of the processes require any buf...

Everything is working smoothly and the increased range of the detectors has helped a great deal. Although it may just be me, but I actually liked the constant rise of the wisps in random areas of the vast forest during the long nights. Creating a vast sea of purple wisps that float through the map. ...

First off, thank you for all your awesome development! Factorio is an awesome game and you have made a truly amazing contribution. I'm learning real science as I play/goof off! At the same time, though, the style of vanilla Factorio product descriptions is harder to comprehend with all the new awes...

I've pinpointed that ShinyBob is responsible for the missing corrosion protection. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Inequalitix/ShinyBob Detection does work although it's unfortunate you couldn't integrate it into the lamp itself. Sadly, no. Now the effects of the overlapped lights are summed. You can...

Once I noticed liquid tankers were supported and worked quite seamlessly, I attempted to create a mixed liquid station with 4 liquids per tank with pumps attached to circuits to only move the fluid that's needed. It worked great for two trips but that second pump had just 2 liquid stored from the pr...

Test Update: Yellows do spawn in new areas with Pitch Black, though they don't spawn when I run through the trees anymore. Wooden poles continue to take damage, although I'm unsure what's supposed to be immune to provide a detailed list for you. I do use Bob's Mods alongside Angel's mods and Bio Ind...

This mod is absolutely wonderful. No more spending hours trying to get headache inducing combinator magic depots to work. Now the train bus is seamless and quick to configure. Are depots meant to be affected by the min/max length variable? I couldn't keep my smaller trains out of larger depots or vi...

Looks like small wooden poles are affected by the purple wisps. I'll be testing the other things at a later time to see if they're working on my end without the daylight period.

Lol. Look guys I didn't mean to trigger anyone with my comments on solar panels. Just trying to brainstorm a bit and help out with this amazing mod. That being said, I'm going to, as safely as I can, withdraw from this thread before people start throwing fruit at me.... You made a statement, I made...

My point is you don't need solar panels at all. Correct. Which is why I don't see your point here since you're only reinforcing mine. Solar is an optional choice and people have the right to use it if they prefer to use it over another. It makes little sense to discourage its use just because a cou...

Taking away options from players by restricting it too much is not exactly appealing in any sense of the word no matter what it may be. Solar least of all, given how many hundreds you need just to power a tiny 20MW factory setup is already punishment enough. ??? I have a factory going at around 30M...

It would be correct. The increased ratios truly come from the pellet phase of smelting, but it's also not something you run by itself. Smelting is best as a supplement to normal furnace operation as a very long term process. I've done up a design just for iron alone that took up over 300 Mk4 casting...

Why are Bob's chemical recipes and buildings still in the game when using both mods? Did I do something wrong? For example, I can still build chemical plants and electrolysers, and have to research multiple recipes for the same thing. Angel's is a supplement to Bob's, not really a replacement as th...
