Thanks. Especially for the "evil" thing. The "labor" does have issues. I'm not sure what i feel about putting labor in smelting ingredient (this issue exists only in furnaces). Maybe the coal should be an ingredient? after all, most early smelters have it mixed with the ore, and ...

Maybe. But does any of that make a fun game? Many players (including me) want to add complexity and realism after the vanilla. Just look how much players use Bob's and Angle's mod packs. So extra complexity can be fun. The not fun thing is doing things manually. Basically the game becomes more enjo...

have you put though on on one simple thing? why the hell should person from civilization, that is capable of interstellar flight should start wirh preindustrial tech? if you consider game canon, even steam engines are little off ... but somewhat tolerable, but anything bellow? we are not playing ci...

The key is to balance early game gameplay and early game realism. Pre electric mods clearly add realism but they make the gameplay to "manual and boring". Inserters and assemblers and bots are way too far ahead in the tech tree. The trivial gameplay improvement would be to start right off ...

And then there's the question: Who's your target group? Do people who like steam-punk factorio also want medival people management aspects? Strange as it sounds, i actually want factorio to be more steam-punk. Vanilla factorio leaves the steampunk age about 10 minutes into the game (except the smal...

Firstly, This isn't the sort of direction I want to take Bob's mods. For huge mod ideas like this, you're better off posting in the general mod requests subforum, not in a specific modder's subforum. I can move it if you want me to. (I have moderator rights only in my subforum, but it does mean I c...

The problem is: Where do all the people come from? It kind of makes sense that a single engineer can escape a crash with his space ship, odds are against you, but there would be a chance. However, lots of people that work the fields to grow food, set up an early-tech economy and make up an army to ...

Factorio is amazing game. The vanilla experience offers a good balance of complexity and a reasonably steep learning curve. But after few games we just seek more. More realistic, complex industry. Currently, bobs pack offers great realism for the modern PCB and alloy industry. Angle buffs the petroc...

Thanks! I added RSO and it seems to work well now... Are there other mods you can recommend me to use with Bob's? (except angle's... i dont think i am ready for so much complexity yet) and another question (is it ok to write it here? should i use the general post next time?)... configurable inserts ...

so almost 90 minutes into a deathworld game i noticed there is no quartz anywhere, and i can't evolve to make steel. :( i restarted several times and used map reveal command. nearly none of them had quarts. also, i noticed some resource frequantly spawn one inside the other (zinc inside nickle, silv...

the latest bobplates has a requirement of 0.17.12, if you're running an older version, it simply just doesn't load. are you using an old version? I believe this is related to the new pollution generation methods, it all changed in 0.17.12. Installed newest version.. That works! Thank you so much! Y...

Hi I started playing 0.17 few weeks ago. When i try to play all bob's mod pack i have a strange issue. I don't see the usual tech tree with all the material processing nodes. Also, all advanced materials seem to disappear from the recopies (greenhouse now uses iron copper and stone - not glass!) Wh...
