There's a mod for some of this: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/compressed-biter-squads

But yes, if there's spare time in the art team, ascending that mod would be a nice QoL change.

Oh, thanks a million!
I had not spotted this while searching for biters related mods.

TL;DR New entity that acts like a moving siege tower + nest with a number of 'passenger biters' in terms of what it can spawn when under threat or attacking. (Initially I posted this in the suggestion thread, but while re-reading this I think it would make a good mod, though with some mechanic simp...

TL;DR New entity that acts like a moving siege tower + nest with a number of 'passenger biters' in terms of what it can spawn when under threat or attacking. What ? Essentially the idea is a moving nest that has biters stored up for spawning. The way it would work in game: Engorged centipede is unl...

refining-override.lua line 105: angelsmods.functions.OV.disable_technology({ "water-washing", "nodule-processing" }) Note that "water-washing" is a typo. It should be "water-washing-1". This is part of the if not angelsmods.smelting then So this means that the...

Hi, All. Just uploaded a new version for the mod. It contains the first pass of changes for making it use Bobs mods materials. You can select this option under the ingame mod settings. The default remains vanilla recipes. v0.15.5 Added config options for science pack recipes and intermediates recipe...

@canadajebus:
Unfortunately "not soon".
Still busy with my playthrough and figuring out what changes would fit.

If anyone has suggestions on how the recipes should change for bobsmods, then that would help a lot in speeding this up.

New version v0.15.4 is uploaded to the mod portal. Only some minor fixes. Moved setting to new ingame mod settings Moved labs to science tab and ordered them. Tweaks to some of the configs. Minimum cost is 1 science pack, to prevent game crash. (For lolwhat option) I played around a bit with splitti...

Oh, no...
The releases.
They are... breeding.

Though in all serious, awesome work guys.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.
I'll see how I can rewrite this then.

Apologies, it was late and I explained that badly and without steps to reproduce. I'll double check the steps to reproduce tonight, but here is what we had experienced: Both players subscribe the the ScienceCostTweaker mod. The default for the mod's setting "sct-difficulty-cost" is "n...

Haven't tried a full playthrough yet, but from browsing the tech tree I don't see any way to get a thermal store. Possibly a missing recipe unlock on advanced-electronics-2? Thanks for reporting this. It is indeed missing. Will fix tonight and put out an updated version. EDIT: Turns out the bug I r...

Quick note (might just be me that didn't know this): If you are having trouble joining another player with this mod, and you are getting a message that the mods differ even though the version is the same, then see this bug: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=46364 Basically, the gam...

Did a quick search, did not see a similar topic. Basically, if you have ingame mod settings settings.lua of the type setting_type = "startup" then if the users do not have the exact same settings, the game will give you and error that the mods mismatch even though their versions match. (Ha...

@Nexela: Ah, thanks! That will be perfect.

Just a quick post. New version v0.15.2 is uploaded to the mod portal. Only some minor fixes. Fixed placeholder graphics for thermal storage and heated thermal storage. Fixed some recipe byproduct issues. Moved the cost difficulty setting to an ingame mod setting. (Tested and seems to work fine for n...

http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaSettings.html does not indicate anything, but is it possible to add hover-over / help tooltips? I.e. when the player hovers over the setting, can I display text that explains it better? Also, even better, can I do similar help text per option in the setting dro...

...So, no more fuel canister? There are no current plans to bring it back. Given that burner mechanics can now return items, it might be worth it to use this to 'consume' liquids from barrels. I.e. in your mod for the specific liquids (since the base game will generate / handle the barrels for them...

Awesome, thanks! These help a lot.

Apologies if this is covered somewhere but I have not been able to find it. Basically I just want an example of how to do a dropdown style setting. I.e. a setting where the user can only pick from a predefined list. A list of key-value pairs would be best, but a list of strings would also suffice. S...

Desktop foreman is not updated to v15 yet..... no cost analysis :( What I found: ... My 2 cents just looking at the recipes. Thanks, I'll fix the incorrect subgroups and names today. As for the waste byproducts. I'm not happy with them yet. I started doing a proper test-play yesterday (i.e. no comm...
