I love this mod :D


what would be the command line to force research this mod also me and my friend are playing a current game 12.1 and are doing a play through with all tech cheated done

hey this is are 4th major play through and we wanted to focus on base building rather than research this time around.

the force all research is not working once it was done once. what would be to commands to trigger these to be researched automatically?

Try this:

Code: Select all

/c for n,t in pairs(game.player.force.technologies) do t.researched=t.enabled end

no that does not work i think that is the give all research command. but it usually only works once per game play and not after a mod has been added. so i belive it needs to be now per tech spefic mod to force research

BLuehasia,

I'm not too sure about the syntax for multiplayer commands as I haven't played with that area yet, try this:

Code: Select all

/c game.player[1].force.research_all_technologies()
and

Code: Select all

/c game.player[2].force.research_all_technologies()
the 1 and 2 are the player numbers but I think you can replace them with the player names.

If that doesn't work then you may have to do the individual techs like this:

Code: Select all

/c game.player[1].force.technologies['logistic-robot-storage-X'].researched=true
/c game.player[1].force.technologies['logistic-robot-speed-X'].researched=true
/c game.player[1].force.technologies['character-logistic-slots-X'].researched=true
where X is the tech number: 1, 2, 3 etc.

You may also have to do this for both players.

Failing this as well just build/cheat-in a metric ton of labs and science packs and just research them.

I hope this help!

ok got it to work and you posted it in your last post the fix

it is never written clear that for multiplayer games (the way i only play with friends) needs the player changed to players[1]

so this line you original did
/c for n,t in pairs(game.player.force.technologies) do t.researched=t.enabled end

needed to be changed to
/c for n,t in pairs(game.players[1].force.technologies) do t.researched=t.enabled end

for multiplayer

that needs to be made alot more clear in the wiki and why i always had issues with console commands inf actorio

While this doesn't entirely match the basis of this mod, I would suggest two extra additions.

Add additional Trash slot upgrades.

Add two more hotbar slot upgrades.
Third bar taking 250 of first 3 techs.
Fourth bar taking 1000 of all four techs.


That said, I am using this mod. Also considering modding it locally.

Ok,so in the latest update there was a change to how the mods work, check out the FFF here (https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-108) for more info.

I have loaded up a new save and this mod still seems to be fully working. Do let me know if you find anything broken!

Any chance you could add a tech that reduces the cost for robots to travel distance? They travel really fast but they still burn energy at the same speed and can only store the same amount of energy, so it just quickens their need to recharge in some cases.

Awesome mod either way! Thanks!

OMG its Arumba!!!! Just want to say love your videos.

As far as i'm aware it's not possible due to the way the code works, the only read/write technology properties for robots are logistic_robot_speed_modifier and logistic_robot_storage_modifier. I've been trying to solve this problem since i began this, you were actually the inspiration for this mod in the first place, but have had no success as i'm not really a programming person.

Bobs mods has a way around it by changing the actual properties, both the energy usage and the max energy, of the robot entities (mk 2-4 robots) rather than the modifiers that the technologies use.

I hope that makes sense. Sorry

Awesome mod, I fiddled with technologies to add myself 30 more robot carry capacity techs just to get some endgame goals going, will probably add another 70 to make cool 100 when I'm bored...Idk if it'll work but we'll see when I get there :)

Hello! Thank you for this mod, as it makes robots so much usefull in a "megafactory!"

However, at your vote I voted "other", and my suggestion is this:

Add a line of tech that gives the robots more charge capacity, or optionally use less power, or perhaps both? In the first case, also something that would allow the roboports to have faster charging ports might be nice, but not REALLY needed...


Cheers!
