so how come the enabled flag is still false? Is that for something different? This is a prototype for the recipe; it represents the state of the recipe at the beginning of a new game. Setting enabled to true here would thus make the recipe start out enabled, even before you had a crusher to use it ...

How can I make the directions I gave clearer?

This is just a balance thing, but I think tin and lead are used too much for the cost of acquiring them. Solder takes 4 lead + 6 tin to produce 5 solder, and then each advanced circuit (and processing unit) needs 2 solder. I suggest making the solder recipe give 10 solder, and reducing the requireme...

I was pointing out that the molten iron still needed extra steps to become "high quality", and so his comment didn't really provide a good explanation of what would happen if you were allowed to cool the molten steel material down directly into plates. True enough :) I merely meant that t...

The tin plate recipe is buggy (it can't be made in the forge like is probably intended, and I suspect the ingredients are wrong). Yes, I noticed the same thing. Here's how I fixed it. First, I extracted the mod from its zip file, then edited prototypes/metallurgy.lua to change the forge-tin recipe ...

Can we no long make iron-plates without a fuel burning furnace? If the electric furnace will not be meant for that anymore... I also have molten iron that I can only turn to steel and not iron plates? Im also currently hoping there is a way to make iron plates using a forge. For historical reasons ...

Air compressors have water electrolysis in their recipe list

Edit: don't mind me; it's not enabled, so all is as it should be.

Whoops. The behavior you expected is right, the crushed stone recipe must be set to the wrong category. You'll also get crushed stone from froth flotation, but you should be able to crush the stone in a crusher as well. Hmm; the recipe says category="crushing"... As for the stone sorter t...

I was expecting the crusher to be able to crush stone; instead it appears that I have to crush ore then float the iron/copper out of it to leave behind stone (and the secondary ores). Also, it feels weird to me that the stone separator produces only one type of material at a time. I expected it to p...

A minor thing, but the description for Extraction Technology still refers to the older method of placing a drill to get things like limestone.

Great idea for a mod! We tried it in a multiplayer game, however, and it caused an exception which brought down the game; I didn't copy it down, but it complained that it used game.player in a multiplayer game.

3.4 is up. It's not only save compatible, but should automatically migrate everything properly. Be careful though, 3.4 has challenge mode enabled by default; if you upgrade without editing config.lua first, you may find that your inventory is a bit light! You'll need to research some of the new tec...

Here's a screenshot of my aluminum foundry. It's cramped and not very stylish, but it's made more aluminum than I'll ever be able to use. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/37499386452286836/561DE05B4FC87AA0DA77E1B72983852F5E823799/ Sadly, at full speed my wood buffer can't fill the belts...

The victory conditions in 3.3 sold me on this one. I'm really enjoying the process of figuring out new builds for everything. However, I've noticed an oddity. I want to start setting up tree farms, so it appears that I need biotechnology in order to be able to make fertilizer. I see that Biotechnolo...

Yes that might make these tests slightly more efficient...

Another thing you could do is write a mod that records the data to a file automatically as the game progresses.

Thanks for the pointer; that was great fun to watch!

I got curious about one of the odder maps I've played on, but I think the perimeter is a bit too long for me:

and I promise to continue it soon. Unfortunatly the RL kicked in and distracted me from recording more (or even playing games).

That's not so uncommon!
