Thanks for the reply valneq. It must have been an errant game loading because when I went back in today to check what you say, there were a bunch of recipes not previously available. I do use FNEI as well, and sure enough it was showing the extra recipes too. I have reloaded the game a few times now...

That is the third level Raw Crystal, so I can make the Raw Crystal Splinter and the Raw Crystal Shard, but not the Raw Crystal without which I cannot make the Bobs Mods processor boards for using in Bobs modules classes 6 through 8. The entity is there in game, but listing only as an input into crea...

Well, after the base game, Drury's caution notwithstanding, I can honestly say, once the expansion is released, it'll be a case of "take my money now!".

I look forward to it.

Just signed up as a Patreon, and happy to do it.

Your mods took Factorio to a whole new level. Love 'em.

Hello, I've searched for a mod that might be able to help here, but alas, no luck. If there's a mod that'll extend the auto-pickup range (I've tried Long Reach without success) I'd love to hear about it, I've looked through the Mod library and couldn't see anything, but Devs, please, please, please...

In case anyone comes back to this thread later, I found the "Loot Chest" mod. Works perfectly, place the chest down it scans surrounding chunks (out to a fair distance too), and automagically picks up the artefacts. Obviously, not required for the base game - it shows how long since I've p...

Loot Chest is working like a charm, in case anyone comes back to this thread at a later date. It works brilliantly.

Tried QoL research, it had no effect even after researching the player reach research options. I'll try the other suggested mods in turn now as well.

Just tried QoL research, that didn't affect it, so will try the others in turn as well. (Also Long Reach mod doesn't affect it either). Thanks for the replies all though. I've got a thread going in Bobs Mod forum where I'll go through them all.

Is there?

Once in late game, it takes much longer to run around all over the map picking up the artefacts than it does to actually kill the aliens, because you just about have to run over them, and they're almost indistinguishable from the background.

Ok, I might give that a go.

A shame really, if the auto-pickup range were just a (lot) higher, it wouldn't be an issue, but you just about have to run right over the top of the things.

Really? Wow, well, I use Bob mods, and there's artefacts galore.

That's really disappointing to hear, cause it means there's likely no fix, short of ditching Bobs mods which I wouldn't want to do.

Hello, I've searched for a mod that might be able to help here, but alas, no luck. Factorio is a nearly perfect game I reckon (though I play with Bobs mods), but there's one thing that is REALLY starting to impact on my enjoyment, and that's having to run around like a chook with its head cut off pi...

Thanks for the reply orzelek.

I found the problem.

I hadn't defined bobplates as a dependency, so that was overriding my own settings. Also, it seemed to help when I renamed the file from data.lua to data-updates.lua

So, it seems like you can no longer change stack sizes in Alpha 15, unless (as I'm hoping), I'm doing something wrong. I've made a mod to try and overwrite some stack sizes as below: Zip File: OZHS_1.0.0.zip \OZHS \OZHS\info.json { "name":"OZHS", "author":"OzHawkey...

So a friend and I want to play a game with masses of aliens (bases being both very common and very large), but we also want to stop them from respawning. We tried the following command "/c game.map_settings.enemy_expansion.enabled = false" but it seems to have no effect, and still we (cons...

#4 - In steam go to Library - Factorio - Properties - Updates - uncheck Enable Steam Cloud synchronisation for Factorio. Thanks Muchly! :-) Well, I hope the other three get changed someday -- Factorio is somewhere around a 9.3/10 for me. Not that the other 3 issues would ever stop me playing it, bu...

For #4: It'd probably not a download, it's probably the steam cloud save sync. Not all games use it, so it's possible Factorio is the only one you have that uses it. Ah yes, that sounds like it might be it. Anyway, it's a minor inconvenience (except for those times I accidentally close the game.. h...
