Bugs & FAQ

[Arch666Angel]

Hallo angel thanks for your great mod for all us masochist for them bobs isn't hard enough;)
that said in the newest version synthesis propane is the only synthesis that is in the stream cracking category. I think that is a bug.
also I think the desalination is way to slow, you get out of water treatment 2 saline water/s with MK1 or 3/s with MK2 while your desalination plant gives you 3/10s or 0.3/s. I would keep the 10s cycle because the animation looks good but go up to like 150 water->50 saline water so you can power one MK1 electrolyser with one desalination plant. instead of needing 16.66

Can you provide me some more Infos? If I create a new game all the recipes that should be in the steam-cracker are there, plus the lubricant recipe which should be in a regular chemical plant (need to fix that).

And yeah you might be right, but the salination recipes should be slower because they are byproduct free.

Edit:
100 water -> 40 Saline Water -> 20 Salt

I have just opened your mod files, it is not you, the recipe is in the petrochem-chemistry subgroup. now i have to go trough my great many mods to find the one. or make a quick one to change it back. However I still have it in the cracker.

Can I put productivity modules on batteries? I could swear I could do that in the normal vanilla game with normal chemical plants, but for some reason, with Advanced Chemical Plants I can't, even after installing https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Arch666A ... oductivity

Are you using bob's mods?
Productivity seems to be configured only for them.
Actually productivity is on refining mod so not sure if it works for batteries in any way.

[Rue99]

There's a config option in Bob's that limits productivity modules to registered intermediates by default - might be germane.

[Arch666Angel]

The productivity trigger only works for the refining recipes at the moment, I have to write up a function to add productivity for the petrochem recipes and dont think it really hurts there, because you have to deal with so much stuff aside from the main product you want.

[Rue99]

Just updated to the latest petrochem and the heavy pump doesn't allow me to actually select any barrelling/unbarrelling recipes. I'll have a poke around to see what's going on.

*EDIT* never mind, a forced reset and research of all recipes sorted it . Merry Christmas all.

So, on the description of infinite ore patches there this _ _ 1 _ _. Any idea why?

So I'm having and problem with Bio Processing the Algae Farm is no where to be found, not in the research or anything all i can do at this point is make the goo and spores. Also had to force the research because it was unavailable and it seemed like there were some missing and out of order

Remove [z]group change

[Nexela]

Remove [z]group change

And set it on fire.

[hoho]

So, on the description of infinite ore patches there this _ _ 1 _ _. Any idea why?

It's essentially placeholder for extra ores that can be proccessed out of it if you have some more mods.

Btw, what mod is that you use that seemingly adds more biomes? I looked at your modlist but nothing seemed to be named as what could do it.

[ManderMan]

Remove [z]group change

the algea farm is still not showing after i removed the z group even on a new map, it did fix some of it

Alien Biomes. It's newly released I think. It's pretty awesome. I like it. And thanks, I thought it was a glitch or something like a conflict with my other mods. Glad it's not.

Whether other types of catalysts will be returned later to refining mod?

[SHiRKiT]

Hey Angel,

Thanks for the answer and this AWSOME set of mods, but I think produtivity modules should also affect the Metallurgy recipes, as well as the Petrochem. They are all intermediate products and makes sense, at least in my mind, to have them working there, similar to Vanilla, that you can put produtivity on drills or on furnaces.

[Light]

Still missing the dirt water electrolysis migration, but the new updates were still a nice treat to play with.

Now there's a lot of incentive to use barrels + robots given how rail tanker trains can be impractical given the mass number of gasses one may need to transport. Sure makes relocating easier on my end anyhow.

Hey Angel,

I think I've identified a bug but I'm not quite sure about the root cause. The issue is once I finish bio-processing research, I am no longer able to craft the wooden boards from Bobs mods as well as the chests from LargerChests mods by hand. Seems everything that is related to "wood" is no longer possible in a 2-step craft even with enough raw wood. When I pre-craft wood, I am able to craft these items by hand again.

I think there are some interference with wood in some kind and it's possibly a game mechanic that is broken. I already had this issue some days ago with bob mods but it was on my server and therefore troubleshooting needs a bit more effort. But it was not with your mods involved but also with wood, I think there was another mod that also had a recipe that produces wood in bulk, but I am not sure.

What I found out was, when I remove this two recipes in the file bio-processing-algae-green.lua, as well as the related localizations and technologies from angelbioprocessing, the issue is gone and I'm able to craft the wooden boards again with only raw wood in my inventary. It seems to me that the game connect all recipes to these both below once they got researched:

Code: Select all

{
    type = "recipe",
    name = "wood-from-cellulose-resin",
    category = "crafting",
	subgroup = "bio-processing-green",
	enabled = "false",
    energy_required = 2,
    ingredients ={
		{type="item", name="cellulose-fiber", amount=4},
		{type="item", name="resin", amount=1},
	},
    results=
    {
      {type="item", name="wood", amount=5},
    },
    icon = "__angelsbioprocessing__/graphics/icons/wood-cellulose.png",
    order = "h [wood-from-cellulose-resin]",
  },
  {
    type = "recipe",
    name = "wood-from-cellulose",
    category = "crafting",
	subgroup = "bio-processing-green",
	enabled = "false",
    energy_required = 2,
    ingredients ={
		{type="item", name="cellulose-fiber", amount=4},
		{type="item", name="paste-cellulose", amount=2},
	},
    results=
    {
      {type="item", name="wood", amount=5},
    },
    icon = "__angelsbioprocessing__/graphics/icons/wood-cellulose.png",
    order = "g [wood-from-cellulose]",
  },

For me this code looks fine, as well as the recipe for wooden boards in bobselectronics.lua seems okay:

Code: Select all

  {
    type = "recipe",
    name = "wooden-board",
    category = "electronics",
    ingredients =
    {
      {"wood", 1},
    },
    result = "wooden-board",
    result_count = 2
  },

So I don't know how to fix this and also to keep these two recipes.

Cheers,
Joe

It is a known bug. apparently if there are multiple recipes for something, the game tries only the latests. you can however craft wood(boards) per hand and then auto craft anything that has wood in it.
