Setting the main_product to an empty string ("") forces the title in the recipe tooltip to use the recipe's name (not that of the product) and shows the products in the tooltip.

I also dislike this part! I want the decision about if the recipe should show the main product name or the recipe name ...

Angel's has a three tiers of recipe for a lot of items. The first tier recipe gets the item's name automatically. The second and third tiers obviously have different names so I have to specify a localized name for them. This feels like it shouldn't be necessary as the information has already ...

I've just merged a massive PR in Angel's mods, renaming a ton of recipes so they do merge with their main product. There are a still a lot that I can't fix though. These fall into three categories:

Recipe is making a vanilla item. I don't want to name Angel's recipe the same as a vanilla item as ...

I have released updated versions of Bob's mods. I'm currently working on updating Angel's mods. They will be released once they are ready

Currently Item / Fluid entries will merge with a recipe prototype if they have the same internal name. Can we please have a way of overriding this? Allow us to (optionally) specify the name of a recipe on the item / fluid prototype. This is the recipe that will be merged.

Being able to manually ...

This would be super useful for Sea Block! We have a separate "pack mod" that has the dependencies, so they can be automatically downloaded but then disabled. This works but isn't a great solution as many people don't read the mod description so don't get the pack mod.

When MapGenPreset.default is set to true, it's settings can't be specified. Instead, it pulls values from MapSettings . Or at least, it does for advanced_settings . However there doesn't seem to be any place to specify the values that will be used for basic_settings . Can these be added to ...

It feels like allowed_module_categories works backwards to how it ideally should. I'm creating a new module category that I only want used on particular machines. To make this work, I need to set allowed_module_categories on every other machine! As by default, machines can accept every category ...

I'm not asking to add more stages. I just think it will make more sense in data-final-fixes and save many-many hours to most modders.


Well put Stringweasel! I fully support this proposal! I've released Bob's mods with support for Quality mod and it added a huge amount of additional work. I'm ...

Could the documentation for EffectReceiver.uses_surface_effects mention that it controls if LuaSurface.global_effect is applied?

Can we please have new ItemPrototypeFilters for "plant-result" and "spoil-result" ?

"plant result" would be similar to "place-result":
elem_filters :: array[EntityPrototypeFilter]?

"spoil-result" would be similar to "burnt-result":
elem_filters :: array[ItemPrototypeFilter]?

It would be very ...

It is being set in space-age/data.lua (among other recipes), but not when using base+quality mods only.

Thank you. I should have specified: This is when only using Quality mod.

Recycling Uranium 238 gives Depleted uranium fuel cells. This really doesn't make sense! Uranium 238 should recycle to itself. Depleted uranium fuel cell reprocessing recipe needs to be marked as auto_recycle = false.

"Removed equipments" should be "Removed equipment". Equipments is not a word.
I can't work out how to report it on crowdin. The strings are:

Enabling Enable all Feature Flags mod causes the new game screen to say Freeplay (Space Age). The scenario name, image, and description should only be updated if Space Age mod is enabled.

Suggestions:

1. Unresearched recipes/items/entities should have their name written in red and their icon have a red background, to distinguish them.
2. Add a player interface option to filter out unresearched recipes/items/entities.


+1 for this!

I'm dev for Bob's / Angel's / Sea Block ...

I found a recipe bug while playing the Seablock build.

To process 8 pieces of rubbite, you need to produce 40 units of nitric acid. This requires obtaining 5 sodium nitrate from 500 nitrogen wastewater. This amount of wastewater is obtained when processing 20 pieces of rubbite.

That is, I need ...

I know you said it'll be done when its done, but I'm curious if you have worked on updating the MAPGEN?
I have forked it for my own mods, but 2.0 broke it when lualib/noise was removed and I can't figure out how to work.

Thanks.


No, not yet. Currently working on updating Bob's. Next will be ...

When will Seablock get updated?


Short answer: When it's ready!

Long answer: I'm working through updating all the mods in the pack. Bob's mods are getting close to being ready. Once I have them released, I'll shift focus onto Angel's mods. Only once all the other mods have been updated can Sea ...
