Hmm..

I'm not good with LUA aswell except few things so i might as well take a look.

First thing i noticed when trying to launch the game (Running 0.12.29) you set the lowest requirement to be 0.12.30 in the info file under "dependencies" (Maybe you want to change that)

And for the reason why the game won't launch:

Original Code:

Code: Select all

data:extend(
{
    type = "item",
    name = "shotgun-turret",
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/gun-turret.png",
    flags = {"goes-to-quickbar"},
    subgroup = "defensive-structure",
    order = "b-a",
    place_result = "shotgun-turret",
    stack_size = 50
})

Edited Code:

Code: Select all

data:extend({ --Extra bracket here
    {
    type = "item",
    name = "shotgun-turret",
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/gun-turret.png",
    flags = {"goes-to-quickbar"},
    subgroup = "defensive-structure",
    order = "b-a",
    place_result = "shotgun-turret",
    stack_size = 50
    } --And another bracket here :)
})

As you can see it's missing brackets. Those extra are used if you are going to add multiple items at once so it needs a set of brackets for all items in the and then extra for each item that's added.
I hope it helps

~~Thank you for pointing that out, I'll have to get testing that.~~
Alright Thank you, that code works flawlessly! I should have the fixed version up some time today or early tomorrow at the latest.

New Update out!

Still compatible with vanilla's current update so not much changed behind the scenes.

Pretty cool mod. though the science cost of some the the later techs in it are a bit TOO hardcore IMO.
Unless you designed that stuff for the post first rocket launch just building more stuff stage of the game. In which case the cost is somewhat understandable.

I noticed that as I went through and did the math on it; a lot of my techs are horrifically costly and I am trying to think of some way to balance it back out seeing as they generally bring far better performing entities or items than vanilla and probably some other mods laying around on the forums.

just the Advanced Modular Turrets tech requires 60k red science, 30k green science, 15k blue science, and 6k purple science.

I'm 100% open to balance suggestions too.
