the whole point of this endeavor is to create a calculator that works with my existing mods. You could use a different data dumper tool. I personally maintain https://github.com/demodude4u/Java-Factorio-Data-Wrapper which recently got the special require support and really wasn't all that hard to a...

Just remove the mod during data collection. It doesn't add relevant data for the calculator. You can add it again afterwards. It's not just an issue with the alien biomes mod (which is required for space exploration). This problem initially occurred for __base__ too, but that was easy to solve by j...

Then how does this `require` function in the mod's data.lua file work (the line of lua souce in my original post)? It looks like a native part of lua? Has the Factorio source overridden how it behaves? Maybe I need to modify this factoriodump tool to behave similarly?

I am trying to find a nice calculator to use with the space exploration mod. I've used KirkMcDonald's calculator before and I'm pretty comfortable with it. He provides some tools that make it easy enough to dump the Factorio game and mod data and run the calculator using this data. However, the issu...

It told me that I was working on a separate set of achievements since my game was modded. Within a few minutes, I quit my game, deleted the mod, and reloaded my previous vanilla...
