Did you update the mod? When?


No, I have not updated it since the 0.16 fixes.

You provided me with calculations to back up your argument about why either the portable fission reactor or portable fusion reactor should be changed, then asked for "better energy values". I invited your thoughts ...

The Portable Fission Reactor (PFissR) is more powerful than the vanilla Portable Fusion Reactor (PFussR):

The PFissR has 3×3 (9) slots and 500 kW: 500 ÷ 9 = 55.55555 kW per slot.
The PFussR has 4×4 (16) slots and 750 kW: 750 ÷ 16 = 46.875 Kw per slot.

PFissR is so space and power efficient as to ...

The tests look good, and version 0.4.2 has been uploaded to the mod portal.

Many thanks to vctgross for the edits!

Please ping me here if you run into any problems.

Bumping this to request an update of this mod for version 0.16.X of Factorio.

Nice to know folks are still using it. Apologies for not having done so yet -- new job and limited time. A kind fellow Factorian has submitted a pull request with 0.16 tweaks, and I will endeavor to get that merged and ...

as a note the radioisotope thermoelectric generators research overrides the crafting system for copper cables breaking inventory crafting

Apparently there's an issue with recycling-type recipes that run on the same machine as normal production recipes, leading to the issue you ran into (which was ...

Bizarre.
Could you get me a list of the mods you're using? I'll look into it.

To perhaps ask the obvious: have you tried spelling that "terciary"? Factorio seems to use that spelling in other entities.

Yeah, Omnimatter deletes pumpjacks after the incineration recipe has been created. Talked to EmperorZelos about it, should be fixed for the next Omnimatter release.

Fixed. The solution is to remove the position entry in the smoke definition and replace it with north_position , south_position , east_position and west_position .

Makes sense. Thanks for both the quick fix and the contribution to my continuing mod education. :)


While I was at it, I also ...

Oooo. Tricksy. I look forward to seeing the fix.

It shows up in the correct position for me, what graphical settings are you using?

Linux machine, windowed, clouds off, everything after "Wait for Vsync" is checked, high rez and high vmem usage, 4096 texture size. I've also tried toggling each of those and changing rez/vmem/texture size. No ...

I was testing some things today and noticed that the smoke from the fueled incinerator was way out to the left of the entity.

Changing the position value on the smoke from {0.0, -4} to {4.0, 0} fixed it, which was odd -- I would have expected position to use {x, y} offsets.

Can anyone else confirm ...

Heya.

The 0.15 update for this mod put it onto my radar for the first time, so I thought I'd check it out.

I really like the concept, look, and execution of the mod, and I decided to run a bit of math on my own to check out the relative costs and efficiencies. Running numbers through the mining ...

Or the common items could be available in both mods.

De-coupling the two mods would make for easy access for a lot of people who are scared off by the very different ore system in the refining mod.

That seems like a reasonable idea.


I find that making refining mod dependent on petrochem ...

@undarl @Jackalope @daggertx
My question would be: Is it interesting to play and figure out and is it better or worse than the old implementation.

I really enjoy the early-game synergies provided by the ore crushers, specifically the inclusion of stone as a useful byproduct/looming problem from ...

Heya.

I've been playing around with rocket turrets since you released the mod (and have managed to blow myself up hilariously with atomic bombs at least 20 times). :) I'm also a new modder, so I'm going to chime in with some ideas and feedback.


-Crude Rocket added for use with Basic Rocket ...

I know the focus is not on vanilla from what I read but I do have some yield questions if its okay. Is any of the below even worth it (other than the fun factor) and does it actually increase yield? I am not sure...and maybe its a limitation of using this without Bobs Plates and stuff. Which is ...

Yes, but if you are attempting to use the count of output items for anything, it won't necessarily be equal to 1/10th of the count of ore that was processed. If the probability ratio was meant to be a dice roll, then it should actually be a dice roll (and it should be since processing 10 ore ...

No recipe can output over 100%.
If you have a 75% chance of U238 that leaves 25% chance for anything else.

Aha. I see where you're going with that now, and after looking at the uranium processing recipe again I understand your point. That recipe is written as though all result probabilities are ...

Heya, Optera.

Thanks for the feedback!


Percentages of Radioisotopes are set incorrectly. You have over 100% total for both recipes producing them.

Is this a reference to the results having both a probability and an amount, or to something else? If the former it may be redundant, but it seems ...
