Hi all -

Over the past couple months, I've mostly taken a break from Factorio, only doing a bit of work for the latest update 3.6.1. This has again got me thinking about my involvement with the game, and the truth is that I've felt my interest and motivation substantially decreasing for a long ...

Hi all -

Another update out. This one took a while, as I've been spending less time on Factorio, but I'll talk about that in my next post. For now, here's a general list of the changes:

Features:

Added tier 2 fluid handling: longer underground pipe, larger storage tank, faster pump
Added high ...

Hi all -

Woohoo! The long-awaited update is done at last!

I know that this one has been on the slower side, even by my normal. This is mostly because of its sheer size: over 10 main new features, loads of testing and tweaks, a couple bugfixes, and of course compatibility with Factorio 1.1 ...

Hi all -

First, sorry for disappearing for the past few months. Sometimes I need to simply forget about the community for a while, in order to focus on the content, and my external life. However, I have good news: Xander Mod is getting close to nominally complete! The only major features left are ...

Okay, the gun turret bug should be fully fixed. Thanks to kingarthur and eradicator for your help. Looking back, it seems all I really needed was the force.reset_technology_effects() command, which I simply put in a loop in a new lua migration file. I've been iterating over game.forces in ...

Are VSLI wafers used for anything yet? I can't find reference to them?

I work in the field and find the idea of making virtual ones in my off time to be oddly entertaining. I also like the thought of using them to play the silicon lottery -- having to test finished products and getting a random ...

Hi all -

I've run into another bug which I don't know how to fix.

The fast-replace function doesn't work for the Xander Mod chemical reactors, and I'm not sure why. For other machines which upgrade in a series, the entity code seems to simply have the fast_replaceable_group set to one name, which ...

Hi All -

Gun turret damage upgrades should be completely fixed
Corrected diesel-electric locomotive, car, and tank to accept both crude and chemical fuel
Fixed processing unit recipe not ...

Hi all -

Lots of various stuff here, hope to address several things - I hear you, even when I don't individually respond.

First, I just got out a quick bugfix update to handle the problem I accidentally created with the new plastic bars. When I changed the name for the polyethylene pellets ...

Hi all -

It's been quite a while since my last update, so I thought I should at least post some news. To be honest, my interest in the mod - along with Factorio, and computer games in general - has been gradually declining for a while, as I have found myself growing more interested in other ...

Good !

I am just tired of pyHell i am using instead.

Hey, you used semiconductor image for active electronic components, but recipe telling me about vacuum tubes. All that axes and bushing gone, so sad. All that coils now made without any isolation, You not afraid of short-circuit ?. Electronic ...

Hi all -

Like the title says. Available everywhere mods are downloaded. For external use only.

Here's what's new:

Fixed automation science pack recipe unlock missing from its technology
Fixed crude-tier belt graphics
Fixed assembler 1 pipe connection graphics
Fixed iron and copper ore icon ...

Hi all -

I'm working on 3.4.3 to publish soon, which will fix the automation science pack bug. I also have several graphics bugfixes in the works, and a bit more clarity in the crafting menu as well. Hopefully this will be out in the next day or two.

Another thing I'm trying to figure out is ...

Been a long time fan of the mod and am really to happy to hear you have more free time and is doing well these days! Playing the latest version of the mod it seems that coke production was heavily nerfed to 4 coal -> 9 coke. Why is that the case? I am all for complete realism, but that seems a bit ...

Thanks to everyone who caught and posted this. An error on my part, corrected in mod version 3.4.2 just published.
