Known issues

Not full localization of Creative mode and Portal Research.
Missings locale string in mod-setting-description when original mod doesn't have descriptions. Affects any not-supported mod.

Future plans:

Future plans

• Add settings for turn on/off updated graphics for other mods
• Moar customizable features
• Maybe cross-integrate/localize other mods (possibly by community request)
• RSO-like resource generator based on remote interfaces and per-surface settings, including AngelsInfiniteOres-like spawning (also fully customizable)
• Include optional plutonium workarounds like some other mods (mostly like in GotLag's Reactors, but not the same)
• Rework Air Filtering and include it in pack

Disclaimer:
All changes in graphics, localizations and behaviours i've made firstly for myself, not for others. You can disagree with it, but it is so. I don't like to use mods that adds too much complexity in game, so you can't find bob's and angel's mods integration soon. But maybe later...

Is it a known issue that this mod cancels the intended effect of: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/InfiniteW ... y_Research

Tested pretty thoroughly...With Cross Mod on no infinite bot cargo capacity (finite at 9th level)...With Cross Mod off, bot cargo capacity has the "4-(infinity)" symbol on it.

Regards,

Since 1.2.1 version of the FCM it includes reworked functionality of BigBags mod, which provides some levels of Robot capacity research. It isn't infinite cause of too overpowered.
I see 2 variants:
- put InfiniteWorkerRobotCapacity_Research mod to incompatibilities
- or add option to disable bigbags techs such as other mod features.
I will take decision tomorrow.

[abordoli]

Another alternative might be to release Mountains back to its own mod...

[abordoli]

Have you made a decision yet?

updated: 1.2.2 | 05.03.2018 - Big Bags features can now be enabled via startup mod settings

CrossModCrash.png (93.21 KiB) Viewed 5070 times

I got this crash happening pretty reliably in 0.16.51 when Toxic Jungle is turned on. I was getting it with Mountains, line 46 (still referenced the on_tick event), but that was fixed by re-extracting control.lua (shrug). It happens after the startup tab messages for both base and StoneAge, game runs for a couple of seconds. Crash happens instantly in First Steps-01. The only thing correlating is whether Toxic Jungle is enabled; Mountains doesn't make any difference with the crash on this line number.
