Previous discussion ; see “Overhaul Packs” below. Since this post was originally written the Space Exploration mod has been updated, although I have not tried it myself.

Good Luck!

The official Space Age Expansion should be mentioned first and foremost as it is implemented as a set of "Official ...

My take:

A: Space, Fulgora. They have the best recipes in the form of asteroid reprocessing and EM plant, in terms of yield / throughput. Fulgora is also good in the max-rare stage where you can wash for uncommon scrap and rare recycling results.

B: Vulcanus. It has the second-best recipes: lava ...

I don't think you'll like this idea:

Gleba biosulfur.

Join spoilage from overgrowth jellynut soil and bioflux upcycled from capture rockets to make legendary sulfur. As a note: it has to be quality done throughout the process, because if you just just those two upcycles you're probably going to ...

If a inserter found grab a legendary fish into a chest that every slot have a normal fish,
it down quality it and insertet a normal fish instead.
Or a inserter grab a rare iron gear wheel and insert into normal engine unit assembler

maybe also have a option in inserter to disable this feature.

That's fair, I will just continue to manually insert them. I love having absurd fish ponds.

Thanks for the quick response, this makes total sense, just means it will need to be a janky script implementation, but since someone made a thread, figured its ...

Made an account just to +1 this.

As the humanitarians that factorio players are, I’d love to have the ability to return fish to the water (in reverse to the existing easter egg of taking them out the water :P )
this’d be personally useful for me, as i plan to have fish breeding be a part of a mod i am developing; and being able to ...

Howdy!

The official Space Age Expansion should be mentioned first and foremost as it is implemented as a set of "Official Mods" that enhance the Base Game through additional planets and mechanics. I am assuming that Readers of this Reply are familiar with the Mechanics that it adds - no Spoiler ...

TL;DR
Allow capture bot tech to work against Demolishers, letting engineers exploit their immense regeneration abilities.


What?
Demolisher Lobotomization would be a branch of capture bot tech that also requires Vulcanus as a dependency, obviously. As said in the TL;DR, unlocking it would ...

Park guard: "Hey you, what are you doing with that fish? Fishing is forbidden here!"
Inserter: "I don't know. It just leaped into my hands. Must be an error in the system. I didn't do anything!"

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed for the next release.

Noticed on a factory I was in the middle of building that a bulk inserter was sitting there holdin a fish without power.

Put out a few more of them and sure enough..
I had not tried other types of inserters.
