You can always use more purified water anyway.

My suggestion then would be to parse the strings only once, the first time on each game that you translate a string (or alternatively do one big pass before starting the game). Convert it into a structured representation that stores the offsets to replace with what, then refer to that when inserting...

Is that not done only once when loading the locale files? In any case an optimized regex implementation should be very fast... but a good many are not optimized.

Background This is similar to https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=455859#p455859, but I think this is a bit of a different take on the request and that thread is quite old so I'm making a new one. I'm currently working on adding descriptions to various things in Angel's mods. One thing that...

According to jarg, the regex for matching built-in parameters that reference other localisation strings is "__((ALT_)?CONTROL(_MOVE)?|ENTITY|ITEM|TILE)__.+?__". This is missing, at the very least, fluids and technologies. These should be added in.

It would be nice if ore sorting with catalyst to a single ore would get nerfed. I like the challenge to balanced out multiple ores from 1 sorting, but it doesn't feel rewarding because the yield of catalyst sorting is as good and doesn't even have by-products to worry about. Imho it would be much b...

Have you considered increasing the interaction distance so that LTN Combinators can be interacted with at infinite range, like stations & trains?

I just noticed this: the garden mutation recipes were listed as being added in the latest bioprocessing changelog, but they are commented-out. EDIT: Since I just did the locale pass, I'll also note that desert <-> swamp mutations are missing locale entries. I thought those recipes didn't exist but w...

Ah, I don't think I have any of that.

Very minor grammar nit.

There are 2 kinds of decorations, you have the big ones, which don't get removed, but you got some minimal mossy textures of the terrain, and those should get removed.

Hm? That's not what's happening:

The Distillery techs should be removed when Bob's distilleries are disabled as they do nothing. Additionally, the following techs should all depend on Powder Refining, in order to get access to the powder mixer: Advanced Tungsten Smelting 1 Advanced Aluminum Smelting 1 (Technically, you can get up t...

Just like with nuclear enrichment, you can use the circuit network to limit the amount of problems you have, and if you want a large-scale system, I highly recommend that. EDIT: New bug report: logistic science in AB is sorted before production science in the tech list, even though production is req...

Random thought: why not replace Concrete and Reinforced Concrete with the Angel's items, rather than making new ones?

Concrete bricks seem slightly off: https://i.imgur.com/AI78Zxf.png Tutorial grid? Is there supposed to be a speed modifier? I wanted to give it the same speed modifier as refined concrete, however I didn't had time to put it in yet. It also has some other issues like it's not destroying decorations...

You play with angels industries, your platinum is indeed not disabled. I just loaded up your save, and the crushed cupric sorting shows me copper and tin as expected? Must be something weird, or some unrelated issue might have fixed it? Anyhow, it seems to work just fine on your map for me. Ah, I t...

Interestingly, my save doesn't seem to have platinum disabled at all... attached so you can take a look.

Perhaps print a warning at game start indicating that default biter settings are not recommended? (I personally didn't have too much trouble with biters in my most recent AB game, without exploration, but I had a good starting area, and once I got plasma turrets and artillery there have been no issu...

I can't believe this has gone unnoticed till now: the icons for crotinnium and silicon ores are identical!
