This seems to specific for adding to the base game. Mods can already hook entity died and spawn additional loot should they want to do so. Yes, but can research control when those hooks are called? That's the basis of the request, that on-research-complete not be limited to hard-coded variable chan...

It'd be nice if it was possible, but as I've seen no way to do it I'm not sure. and @eradicator I get what you're saying, but in multiplayer games it's VERY hard to gather the thousands of artifacts you need to outfit everyone with nice gear, so I thought late-game (non-infinite) expensive research ...

While the Subject of the thread was tough to decide on, here's basically what I want to do. I'm using Bob's mods and have alien artifacts enabled so the biters drop little colored orbs. I wanted to mod in a research branch that MODIFIED the drop count and chance of these orbs. I scoured the WIKI for...

Bob,
I don't understand why you separated your ores from your MCI mod. From what I gather, you HAVE to have MCI process the new ores, so why separate them?

That night vision is horrible! @_@

Attached is the map I'm using for my Back 2 Basics YT series. Some have requested it, so... tada!

Just unzip into your scenarios folder and choose "custom scenario" under the Play menu.

Thanks FactorioBot for all your hard work in fixing bugs.

You are a dedicated force. But what do the other workers there do?

Treefarm Author uploaded a shiny new version to the mod portal! I highly recommend it.

Anyone interested? I am not sure if the author is working on updating it or not.

I've updated a few mods to work with .13, but I am not the original author and have no real way of knowing if the authors are updating their mods. I've updated: Autofill TreeFarm Lite, just found a bug with the game.players[] array, apparently robots are not counted :) More Light Fluid Barrel NightV...

Currently swimming in an ocean of artifacts.

I was hoping to do a modding help, I might cover my mod for Express Smart Inserters. Thanks for the motivation!

I started a YouTube series using this map. I thought one or two people might want to give it a try. It uses all of bob's mods, so be careful! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkA9Q5ltQPCIM_h0EwEaZTXBmV7K8clwX Unzip in the "%APPDATA%/Roaming/Factorio/Scenarios" folder. DeathWorld.zip ...

Try as I might I could not reproduce the crash, which I know as a programmer is vital to being able to fix it. Sorry.

*sigh*

I just tried opening the map in the editor and closing again and it didn't crash, however I didn't try to save it first.

The map is 13 megs, and the mod folder is 20 megs. I'll try one last time to reproduce it and then upload.

I was in the map editor making a map for my next game. I saved the map and when I hit "Close" the game crashed. Attached is the log file, let me know if you need the map. The log shows the mods I have installed. This is the first time I've ever experienced a crash with the map editor using...

Any more advanced topics people might want covered?

Steam engines should NOT push out smoke. They only process steam, which is non-polluting and more white.

Let me know of any ideas for balance you may have.

Glad to help!
