AHHHHHHH right, yeah using a quick start mod to skip a bit and I didn't realize that not having the research does that.

Thanks!

I started playing after a 2 month hiatus, using Factorio v.14.22, updated all mods and started a new game.

Now this is where the problem starts, for some reason the angel refinery's ore sorters mk1/2/3/4 all look like mk1s and they don't have any recipe available.

I removed all other possible mods ...
