so instead of mining ores you just get them from a chest?
won't that just remove the early game instead of changing it?

What i have done now is made a couple of recipes to process a unknown mineral. The first is basic metal identifying and that has a probability of 0.42 for producing iron or copper and 0.25 for coal. Working on other recipes giving other ores, reducing probability for more rare minerals.

One ore to ...

Then that explains why it won't work :p

I found both of those while looking last night. They're not it. Whatever it was, it's green, because I based the colour of the icon on what the ore actually looked like.

Well, a major source of nickel is millerite and consists of the elements you mentioned.
The green one might be a nickel iron ...

I am not sure what you are trying to do.
Switching off ore generation ok, but how do you progress then?
Could you give a bit more info what it is you want to do? :p

There is no way to do this in the prototypes, but you might be able to hack it somehow in the control script (I don't know how :-) )

yeah, that's what i figured. So i put it in a script.lua and then used require("script") in the prototype. In the script i made a function with the if statement but ...

i did not know that!
thank you very much :D

edit: so i tried it out and it works as i thought it would, which is not exactly how i want it to work :p

how it is now:
- chance that any of the results is made
- chance that nothing is made

what i would like is:
- always one of the results in the ...

Hello everyone,

I have been working on a script that changes the result of a recipe every time it is produced. The result should depends on the outcome of math.random. So far i got nothing to work.
Does anyone know how to do this or if it is even possible in factorio? It would be a great help for ...

Hello :)

I am making some mods and would really like some graphics to go with the new buildings. All the icons im doing myself but making graphics for buildings is just not my thing.

Here is my wishlist:
- ore crusher: to grind big chunks in smaller chunks
- large blast furnace: like a oil ...

I had the same idea like you. I find ore processing to be very simplistic in factorio so i made a mod. It is a work in progress but the production line for iron and copper is in place. It just needs some tweaking, some more features like the chemicals needed for the copper line and some custom ...

Some screenshots would be nice :o

okay here they are :)

If you put in more and more useful buildings or items which are more and more complex to make, then you are fulfilling the wishes of all factorio players everywhere. That's why we play this game.

+1

aren't all of these already a module in the dytech mod?

does it work with multiple science packs yet? (more of the same type) and science without red packsrequirements like in dytech?
