A little update on the search for lithia water with RSO. I switched to the "rso radar" mod so that I could get some decent range. Having let them run for a while, I managed to find quite a few "pure water" spots. But no lithia spots. I've circled all the water in yellow for clari...

This may just be my silly "common sense" speaking, but doesn't it seem a bit weird to take ordinary water (aka salt water) and then distil it, then add salt back into it so that you can do saltwater electrolysis? This is part of my plastic line: Also, why are there two identical recipes in...

I could make them all the same size, but then that removes their uniqueness. Well, there's what, TEN types of pipe? Three tiers of each width, plus the boss pipe, Tungsten. Or something like that. Do we need ten? I do like the idea of the tiers. Advanced materials able to go further underground is ...

Bob, is there still a need for all the different pipe widths? Even now, I'm still having trouble understanding their purpose. And by width, I mean "size" or capacity per segment. Are the 20x (like stone pipes) even needed?

Try running an update script in game open the console and paste the following to see if it helps. /c for index, force in pairs(game.forces) do force.reset_recipes() force.reset_technologies() end I updated the mod files first and then turned on pure water. The above script worked. Although I do not...

Yeah. I double checked and the "Enable Pure Water" checkbox is definitely checked. And yet...



Also, very curious what you think of the Steel idea.

I just enabled pure water with the latest batch of mods and noticed that electrolysis does not require pure water at all. It still runs on regular water.

What crossed my mind recently, in reality you use the so called "oxygen converter process" for making steel. Simply put, take iron and scrap, throw the stuff in a furnace and burn out the impurities with lots of oxygen. Would it over complicate bob's when we say there are two process for ...

Distillery is a small (2x2) building which is supposed to distil water (Evaporate and condense), it takes "Water", which I've basically dubbed salt water, or Lithia water, and produces pure water. This is needed for electrolysis recipes. It is only enabled when you turn on the pure water ...

Hey Bob, can you do a quick summary describing the distillery and enriched fuel?

-Are all 0.15.x mods compatible with each other? -If the mods are compatible with each other. Are they compatible with the game if i run the game in 0.15.x? example: Running Factorio [0.15.x] BOBS LIBRARY (0.15.4) BOB'S ASSEMBLY (0.15.2) BOB'S GREENHOUSE (0.15.1) Just ignore that final number. Some...

The thing is that in theory... it has exactly same chance of appearing. In practice it seems that it doesn't work like that for reasons I'm not sure about. Only thing I can see would be a lot of water on map which will "eat up" spawns that land in it. I wonder if you could adjust the chan...

True. If I needed the space, that's a good option.

Though I should point out that it's only 1.6 times as many machines to take it from the air because chemical plants have a crafting speed 1.5625x as fast as electrolysers.

There are 3 recipes for processing Lead. The one you want it unlocked via Lead Processing technology Lead ore and other stuff -> lead oxide (which you smelt afterwards for lead plates) and Sulfur dioxide. Sulfur Dioxide can be made into sulphuric acid. Feed the lead, and the sulphuric acid into the...

Bob, did you remove the recipe for Sulfur from Petroleum Gas? I was just setting up my battery factory and noticed my blueprint is invalid. Sulfur with Bob's mods is obtained in 2 ways: through refining of crude oil, or as a byproduct of several ore refining processes. The crude oil refining method...

I can take a look at frequency of lithia water in RSO. On one hand making it hard to get is ok I think since it's an end game thing (I think?). So travelling few k tiles for it should be ok. Using radars with big range helps with this a lot. Part of the issue might be that lithia water same as grou...

Is the max_distance_of_nearby_sector_revealed property its vision range?

Question about radar tiers. I remember seeing something on one of the description pages about how Bob's radar tiers each serve a different purpose. Like some have SHORTER range but longer permanent vision. Or something. Since the stats don't show up when hovering over the recipe, can someone break d...

Is anyone else missing Lithia Water on the map when running RSO? I think something broke it because I've got a slightly older map which has it. Lithia water should spawn, it's just quite rare (I tend to find several huge patches of gold before finding any lithia, and sometimes even tungsten appears...
