Washing is from Refining. Cement processing is from Smelting.

Sounds like you loaded your game with Smelting but without Refining. Am I right about this?

If yes: This is not supported, as far as I know.
When you activate Angel's Smelting in the mod manager, it also activates Angel's Refining and Petrochem. In order to not load Refining, you have to manually disable it again, either in the mod manager or while loading a save. However, in the mod manager Angel's Smelting will be highlighted in red because its dependencies are not met. Is that what you mean by "turn on the angel mods sequentially"?

If Smelting, Refining, and Petrochem are all present in you game, please provide a full list of all mods and their versions. Maybe even a save file we could sync to, because then it might be a bug.

Only its graphics. Why exactly? Is that a side effect of you trying to figure out what is happening, and originally, you intended to play with Space Exploration?

Anyway:
I can confirm that when I sync to your save and load it, the technology "Washing 1" does not exist. However, when I then just exit the game and start a new one with the same mods and the same settings, "Washing 1" does exist and is a prerequisite to "Cement Processing 1", as can be seen in the screenshot:

This feels like a migration issue, because "Washing 1" is available when I forcibly reset the status of the player's force in your save via

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.reset()

However, this resets all research, making it not desirable as a solution for this issue. There must be a way to properly fix this via the Lua console. However, I am really not apt in doing any of that kind of stuff. Maybe one of the devs of Angel's mods can give a comment on what is happening, and how to fix it.

You could try this command to unlock it

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.technologies['water-washing-1'].enabled=true

Or if you want to research it at once

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.technologies['water-washing-1'].researched=true

And similar for the other researches that could be missing (water-washing-2).

I'll have a look at your save file when it's not so hot outside/inside to see what's wrong with the migration, since valnec said, it's not an issue on a new map.
