Re: Replacing connected chests

That means you used the wrong method while thinking you did it right Hmm not sure which other way to do it.. I clicked on top of the provider chest with the steel chests. It replaced the chest, but did not put back the circuit wire. What other way should I have done it? There should be no need to p...

Re: [0.12.x][v0.12.8] Bob's Power mod

Bob Please help I'm new to modding on factorio and I downloaded the Power mod and the two others that the mod loader said were required but nothing happened... No new research, items, or any indication at all. I've double checked to make sure that everything was as it was supposed to be yet still n...

Re: Bob's mods

Looking to start a new game and want to try out Bob's mods, but the list is a bit overwhelming. Should I just go ahead and install them all? Or is there like a core set of them in one download? Also here is the mods I like running right now, are any of these are incompatible with Bob's or redundant...

Re: [0.12.x][v0.12.7] Bob's Enemies Mod

At 82% evolution my Mk1 defensive laser turrets are really struggling to keep the waves under control. Also, with all the splash damage, roughly one lamp blows up every few minutes (I like to have my defensive wall well lit :) ). Also, not sure if it's RSO, Bob's or just base game updates, but I fi...

Re: Angel's Infinite Ores Not Working on Mac

Hello everyone, I am hoping this is just a simple fix.... I am running Factorio on a high end Mac, direct download (No Steam) and I am trying to get Angels' Infinite Ores to work, and nothing I have tried works. I have been playing the game a while, eventually discovered Bob's mods of course, and s...

Re: No-bobs: Question about total ore->plates and sulur ratios

Personally, I get sulfur primarily from slag-processing. You need a little bit of sulfur to get it started (e.g. from floatation), but it returns a ridiculous amount, enough to easily fill entire silos/warehouses up. I refine my ores to the very end - no slags are produced. Also, the fact that slag...

Re: [0.14.x] Bob's Mods: General Discussion

As for an exact list of changes... well... as said, the game will change so much when the update arrives, I probably won't have a full list until I start looking to see what exactly is broken. Could you make the Crude Oil Processing with Sulfur require Sodium Hydroxide? It would give us a better wa...

Re: Bus or not to Bus

Actually, copper is my major enemy since it seems I can never get rid of the stuff fast enough. I imagine if I used solar power that wouldn't be the case, but it's leading me to come up with an idea to correct the issue. Turn it into a liquid and void it in a steam engine. :D Warning: this method w...

Re: Heating "Physics"

Hot water in pipes lose their heat pretty quickly so all those pipes between the boilers and tanks is lost energy I've never noticed *any* sort of heat loss; I've had a few situations where the water coming out of the boilers was <100 degrees, but never seen my water losing temperature in either st...

Re: Lithia water

You don't really need a ton of it. You could almost just run an unpowered pipeline even over a long distance...if it weren't for those enemies you mentioned. What's an unpowered pipeline? I haven't yet figured out how to pressurize pipes (also haven't needed to yet). I played around with small pump...

Re: Your Logistic Robots Are Broken! [Forum Game]

They bring you the sulfur. Since your inventory was already full, there is now a gigantic mess of sulfur spread all across your base. You feel fairly sure the canister of oxygen is somewhere in that mes, but good luck finding it. I request that some bots take these 20 burner inserters back to the st...

IC² (Industrial Craft 2), http://www.industrial-craft.net/ . A minecraft mod which seems abandoned now, but I simply loved it. Factorio reminds me of it often, but it is more focused on the energy network than on resource harvesting. Still the best minecraft mod IMO, especially in combination with ...
