[0.15.x] Petrochem Plus

[Zarnoo]

Sorry, this might eba stupid question, but what are materials like acrylonitrile for ? I can't see any end product, so why would you spend time making something which just fills up your storage ?

[kinnom]

Acrylonitrile is used in ABS, a plastic

[Durabys]

Well. Saw this on wikipedia:



..and decided to vote Polyurethanes because they are more useful I think. They should be basically used in anything we normally build in the game..armors, cars, trains, aircraft, rockets and so on.

[kinnom]

The poll has ended. Polyurethanes will be added in 0.1.0. I'm however only going to really make and release it when 0.15 arrives.

[hoho]

I hope you know that this means more than a month of waiting at best for 0.15 to arrive plus another unspecified amount of time while Angel updates his mods as well.

The thing is, polyurethanes are a whole class of polymers. There are already 7 different recipes for plastic, and it is getting harder to make the recipes balanced against eachother whilst not making endgame recipes completely overpowered or early plastics requiring a megafactory to produce enough. The 0.15 overhaul in angel's mods will provide many opportunities to add new petrochemical materials, like polyurethane foams, polyester and polyamide fibers, epoxy for composites etcetera. Adding them first as plastics and later only using them for other materials would mean that it wouldn't be a feasible source of plastic for long and that it would be better to not use those recipes at all.

[hoho]

Ah, ok. I thought you were saying you stop adding features to your mod until 0.15 is released.

Where to use ammonium chloride gas?

[kinnom]

ammonium chloride is added by angel's petrochem. I don't know why it was added

[aklesey1]

In advance I apologize for a little silly question
Nitrous oxide gas and nitric oxide gas is two different resources in ur mod kinnom??? They have icons similar at each other approximately for 99%, in the beginning I thought that it is the same resource, in principle and has to be and I thought that I will have several ways of his production, it has turned out that isn't present
But why you have divided them? May be its logical error, or I misunderstand a chemical formula of these resources?

[ukezi]

one is NO the other one N2O

Possible Bug Report: I was having an issue crafting cyan catalysts where the machine crafting them would never 'finish'. The bar would fill and no good would ever appear in the output slot. It appears that the stack size of "catalyst-metal-cyan" in items.lua is listed as 1. Changing it to 10 fixed everything.


That aside, I'm enjoying the complexity this mod adds very much. Thank you.

Where to use huge amounts of nitrous oxide? I can use it inly for plastic fo now, but may we can find new possible ways where to use it?

Are you producing too much nitrous oxide? Then maybe I should reduce the production of it a bit.

[aklesey1]

I'm producing too many ammonium sulfate, what i can say, heh , i'm using ammonium sulfate first of all before using "Nitrous oxide" recipe
Kinom, pls don't nerf nitrous oxide it's really can b useful, i think we simply must find new ways where to use it

And sometimes i think - where to get so many benzene with yellow catalysts for phenol

[aklesey1]

Can't find recipe for phosgene gas, technology for it is researched? How to update recipes or technologies?

[kinnom]

phosgene is among the chlorine recipes

[aklesey1]

phosgene is among the chlorine recipes

I know, but its not active, how to make it active? I don't remember may i'm stared this game before i installed ur mod? and chlorine processing was researched before

[Shenpen]

Not really a bug, but just an observation: Installed the mod on top of petrochem at the stage of late blue science and had some issues.
The new production procedures looks extremely interesting, but the nitric acid production had a bit of a conundrum: You would need nitric acid to produce nitric acid. Not in itself a huge problem as long as the yield was great and if another source of nitric acid could be found. But if there is such a source I never found it. So I assume that its a late installment issue and I'm very much looking forward to giving it another go in a later campaign.

Most players don't have that problem because they don't add mods to a running game.

I know, it's maybe a little bit late, but for the future:
This will reset that specific research and if you "re-research" it, the new recipes will show up in the inventory:

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.technologies["HERE_TECHNOLOGY_NAME"].researched = false

For example with chlorine processing 1 from Angel's Petrochem:

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.technologies["chlorine-processing-1"].researched = false

@kinnom
(I'm using full Bob's and Angel's)
I found two bugs: One in the locale at advanced chemistry 5 and another one at the cyan-metal-catalyst, where you should increase the stack size to 100.
Are you releasing PCP 0.0.5 when Factorio 0.15 will be released (And Angel's and Bob's be updated)? Pls, I like the mod
