I'm adding this mod to the list I'll be using when playing with friends!

Does this mean that hives won't spawn Dytech biters/spitters? Also, do hives follow evolution like enemy hives?

Nope :) you will get seperate tech tree to spawn dytech biters and spitters instead of vanilla. (Vanilla will be a bit buffed in the amounts it will spawn if dytech is in due to balancing)

> and yes hive followes evolution just like the enemy hives do :) so they will benefit from being in the middle of your factory!

Was it intentional for the ore to only spawn in the starting area?

EDIT:

WOW, ok. I've been digging around for the last 3 hours trying to figure out how the hell ore generation works & what does what. So, I think I've figured out why the ore only generates in the starting area, and it has to do with the influence values.

On lines 49 to 101 this is the peak values which control spawning. You have .2, .2 which is the main cause of the no generation. All the -.2 influences at the bottom essentially eliminate all traces of the ore outside the starting area. To fix this problem, you may want to put it somewhere between .3 and .4 for influence.

Evolution_1.0.5\prototypes\resources\alien-artifacts.lua

Code: Select all

peaks = {
        {
          influence = 0.2,
          starting_area_weight_optimal = 0,
          starting_area_weight_range = 0,
          starting_area_weight_max_range = 2,
        },
        {
          influence = 0.2,
          noise_layer = "alien-artifacts",
          noise_octaves_difference = -1.9,
          noise_persistence = 0.3,
          starting_area_weight_optimal = 0,
          starting_area_weight_range = 0,
          starting_area_weight_max_range = 2,
        },
        {
          influence = 0.3,
          starting_area_weight_optimal = 1,
          starting_area_weight_range = 0,
          starting_area_weight_max_range = 2,
        },
        {
          influence = 0.55,
          noise_layer = "alien-artifacts",
          noise_octaves_difference = -2.3,
          noise_persistence = 0.4,
          starting_area_weight_optimal = 1,
          starting_area_weight_range = 0,
          starting_area_weight_max_range = 2,
        },
        {
          influence = -0.2,
          max_influence = 0,
          noise_layer = "iron-ore",
          noise_octaves_difference = -2.3,
          noise_persistence = 0.45,
        },
        {
          influence = -0.2,
          max_influence = 0,
          noise_layer = "coal",
          noise_octaves_difference = -2.3,
          noise_persistence = 0.45,
        },
        {
          influence = -0.2,
          max_influence = 0,
          noise_layer = "stone",
          noise_octaves_difference = -3,
          noise_persistence = 0.45,

Mod calls nil values in 0.12

Re: [0.11.22] Evolution | Alien Manipulation

I've attached a rough fix, patching the biters.lua and spitters.lua files, which were causing nil values until the mod author updates.
There's still an issue in the resources, "No such node (width)" in alien-artifacts prototype.

Edit: I've fixed a number of issues, but there's one that is eluding me, small-biter-capsule, no such note (type) in capsule.lua

Edit: Fixed issues, game (0.12) will now load without errors from Evolution. I've attached my unofficial patch.


Edit: Nevermind, there's an oninit error when actually trying to load a map.

Edit: Ok, now you can load a map. Someone let me know otherwise, as I don't have a save with just evolution. Again, the attached mod is an unofficial patch

There's an issue when loading an MP save into SP. Probably related to one in the game itself, but now it's being called in the Evolution control.lua, and I haven't the foggiest on how to fix it.

Does it also include re-balancing or only conversion?

Does this support Resource Spawner Overhaul and/or Natural Evolution? Or do they need to support this mod (optional dependency)?

EDIT: Your 1.0.5 migration script is incompatible with 0.12 ;) I found out by loading an existing save.

Line 1 should be:

Code: Select all

game.regenerate_entity("alien-artifacts")
However, that existing save didn't get any alien artifact patches... Then I tried remote.call("RSO", "regenerate") and remote.call("RSO", "regenerate", true), but nothing happened.

My mod should work with both. As I also have those mods in the modpack without causing issues. However RSO i am not very sure about.

EDIT: Also uploaded a version with the updated code

Thank you :)

Edited my original post. Do I need to ask in the RSO forum? I'm thinking RSO overrules game.regenerate_entity somehow. I'm using RSO 1.2.9 with the default settings. Maybe I should try with debug on, will get back to you :)

RSO should notice and react to it in regenerate call. It won't affect starting area and expect all the other places to get reloaded in completely different way.
If it doesn't I'll need to take a look - alien ore should be recognized by RSO unless it's name changed.

Alright guys! Since the things on my modpack died down a bit and people seem to report it back as stable. I would gladly work on this mod again! Probably a few days and ill have loads of cool new things ready for this mod ;) !
