Long description
New release for version 0.13!

Treefarm Lite has been completely overhauled from the ground up! This newer version will look and feel much the same, but with much faster performance, letting you work on your factory without the distractions of stuttering and lag! Treefarm Lite is now significantly faster, allowing serious mass production of trees - if you have the space for it! Much thanks to Rseding91 and StephenWard for their work on this new version!

This Mods adds treefarms, coal-processing and a production-chain for organic plastic. Treefarm initially and primarily allows you to cultivate trees and other plants, at its core allowing the player to renewably source wood to supply their factory. It offers a more automated solution than chopping wood or directing many drones to 'deconstruct' tracts of forest, while offering a more visually appealing solution than mods based on Assembly machines, such as Greenhouses. Plus, treefarms are cool!

Treefarm is originally by drs9999 and is maintained by myself, Blu3wollf. Treefarm was released under a permissive license here, and under that license this version of Treefarm is released under the GPLv3. This newer Treefarm has been updated to run on newer Factorio versions, and folds in performance enhancements based on work by Rseding91 and StephenWard.

Treefarm is hosted on Github, using the Releases system for file hosting and their built in Issues system for error and bug reporting. If you see a bug, please report it there: https://github.com/Blu3wolf/Treefarm-Lite/issues
If you see a bug, and you think you can fix it, go ahead! I welcome pull requests.

Here is error when I try to play Field Mk2 in my game of factorio 0.12.21. So let me know if there is a fix since I do enjoy using treefarm in my game of factorio?

[Blu3wolf]

Thanks for bringing this up speedy, fortunately there is a fix!

The fix is downloading the new patch here: https://github.com/Blu3wolf/Treefarm-Lite/releases

Cheers!

Started a new Game with Treefarm 0.2.2. Now I can't load the Game and got this Error Message:

[Blu3wolf]

Could I get you to try 0.2.4 from here?

https://github.com/Blu3wolf/Treefarm-Lite/releases

[katalex]

Problem at the moment Field1 begin grow.
2.4

[katalex]

Make new game.

Again...problem with seed when I try insert seed in Field1

[Blu3wolf]

Hi katalex, which version of Treefarm and Factorio is this with? I cannot reproduce the issue here on TF Lite 0.2.4 and Factorio 0.12.21.

[katalex]

Of course newest 12.21 ((.
Very interesting what I can continue old savegame 12.10. But problem appear after reinstall fields 1,2.
Second screen - new game, first screen - old game. I will try delete all mods.

[Blu3wolf]

Is this only happening with the coral seeds and not the germlings?

If so, I havent done any tests with the coral seeds yet, Ill have a look at those tomorrow and see if I can replicate it.

Got the Same Error Message now after playing more than 24 hours
got Factorio 0.12.20 and don't use any Coral seeds

[Blu3wolf]

Im still not seeing the script errors, on a new 0.12.21/0.2.4 game with both coral and germlings being used. Ill keep messing with it to see if I can replicate the error.

[powerafro]

I started a new game with Treefarm 0.2.1 lite and for the factorio version 12.21 .
Now i have about 24 hours on the savegame. I updated yesterday to the new Treefarm 0.2.4 version.

I had the same Error as katalex.

When i put my old Treefarm version(0.2.1) back into the mods directory my day and night cycle is getting wrong!

I play with Bobs, Dytech, Yuoki, 5Dim and many other mods.

greetings powerafro!

[Omnagon]

Im still not seeing the script errors, on a new 0.12.21/0.2.4 game with both coral and germlings being used. Ill keep messing with it to see if I can replicate the error.

The Error Message appeared after about 27 hours playing.
I started a new world and updated to 2.4. just as powerafro.
However i de-/activated the Mod and placed the treefarms again.
For the moment it works.

EDIT:
I just tried to load the World.
Message is there again.

REEDIT:
Updated Factorio to 0.12.21
Works

[Blu3wolf]

I will see about downloading Factorio 0.12.20 to see if I can replicate the errors, but I will be primarily aiming to have TF working with the latest experimental build rather than the last stable build. In any event Ill see what I can do. Tomorrow, after I get some sleep.

[roy7]

The code base should be nearly identical, but those with the errors could try the unofficial port

https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtop ... 20&t=18870

To see if it make any difference.

[powerafro]

I made a new test. I deleted the old Treefarm 0.2.1 after that i load and save the game (without the treefarm).
Then i exit the game and put the new Treefarm 0.2.4 lite and Treefarm 0.2.3 AC into the mod directory.
I started the savegame and build 10 treefarm's mk1 without problem's, but when I save the game and load it is the same error as above.

[Eunomiac]

I'm getting the same two errors, in 0.12.21: attempt to index nil value, at either control.lua:275 or control.lua:383 depending on the autosave I try to load.

I've looked at the code, tested a few things, and learned some stuff! Apologies if you're already way ahead of me, but I figured I'd share what I know:

Both errors are due to the seedTypeLookUpTable defined by the populateSeedTypeLookUpTable() function (control.lua:8): It's returning "nil" instead of the expected "basicTree" or "basicCoral" strings. This is almost certainly because it's being passed "entity.name" values that aren't defined in the list of "states" described by the defineStandardSeedPrototypes() function (control.lua:322).

My next step is to figure out what entity.name value is giving seedTypeLookUpTable problems, but I'm hung up on something silly: I don't know how to print a message (to the screen, or as a popup window, or otherwise capture and log a string)---I know Lua, just not Factorio Lua

Could you or someone else please give me the proper syntax to display a simple string to the player? I'll figure out what value of entity.name (or entity.names) is causing the problem on my end and report back.

[powerafro]

Do you forget the lua function script.on_load ? (when i Load the savegame).

Something like this in console

/c game.player.print(game.item_prototypes["coal"]["fuel_value"])
