[MOD 0.15.29+] Creative Mode 0.3.12 - Infinite resources

[Distelzombie]

Ah, you fixed fluid sources, Mooncat! Yay!
Can I safely save my saves with your fix, mickael9? Will they go corrupt when mooncat fixes it or something?

[mickael9]

I don't see why it wouldn't be safe, I hardly changed anything (just added missing properties to the prototypes)

This may not be the right fix but it makes the mod load at least.

Saw the popup about 0.15.10 being released last night before sleep.
-> Read release note this morning.
-> Read comments below the note.
-> View my posts - Creative Mode

Looks like I need to release an update tonight.
Thanks mickael9 for the hotfix!

[Mooncat]

Released v0.3.3.

Changelog

- New:

• New equipments: super fusion reactor, super personal roboport.
• Added recipes for the electric energy interface and the belt immunity equipment.
• Added the electric energy interface into the non-hidden creative item list of creative chests.
• Added per-player settings that are about the default values of cheats:
  • Enable invincible player by default
  • Enable instant blueprint by default
  • Enable instant deconstruction by default
  • Enable personal long reach by default
  • Enable personal fast run by default
  • Default technology research cheat type (research all, enable instant research, or do nothing)
  • Override evolution factor by default, default evolution factor
• New surface cheats: freeze daytime, daytime

- Changes:

• Factorio version is now required to be equal or higher than 0.15.10 (from 0.15.1)
• Changed the entity type of fluid void, from "boiler" to "pipe-to-ground".
  • Due to the nature of "pipe-to-ground", after building a fluid void, the rotation for the next one will be automatically rotated to the opposite direction.
• Changed the position of the belt immunity equipment in creative chests.
• Disabling all team cheats for any team will also disable instant research.

- Improvements:

• LuaTechnology::level and LuaTechnology::upgrade are included in the event logs that contain a technology.

- Fixes:

• Fixed loading errors for 0.15.10.
• Fixed error when logging a vanilla event that contains "tags" or "buffer".

- Known issues:

• The super boiler, super cooler and super configurable boiler are broken, again.
• Please rebuild the fluid voids if you are loading an old save.

Probably the most productive day due to the error in 0.15.10.
I'm enough with the boilers. Changed fluid void to underground pipe.

the electric energy interface looks interesting.
OMG we need belt immunity equipment in vanilla. has it been suggested yet?
thanks for the quick and wonderful update Mooncat.

cheers

I don't think they will add it into vanilla, since Rseding91 has said it is just for mods.

Lot of people seem to want it overall in Vanilla. I think people want some more end game toys like this. I would say the devs have loosen up over the years but their infi research calculations kind of proves the opposite lol.

Nanobots has belt-immunity equipment

[Mooncat]

hm... I didn't see the requests. I personally think (hope) the belt immunity equipment is just a test from the devs. I will like it more if they implement it into the spidertron.

Please can you tell me how to use Creative Mode on a map that was started without it? With Creative Mode enabled, I loaded a savegame where it hadn't been used, but the icon and crafting for creative mode doesn't appear. If I save the game then try to load it again, factorio says that creative mode is in use on that save, but it still does not display.

Edit: Additional info. Creative Mode is definitely enabled when I load the map because the migration script runs and gives a message about the super-electric-pole and super-substation.

Check the mod settings. I think there is an option to show you the popup with the option when you load a map or even activate it by default without asking anything

Pretty sure I tried that, I'll give it another try, thanks.

UPDATE: Tried it, doesn't seem to work. The pop-up is the default, it doesn't pop-up. Trying to force enable doesn't seem to work either. Console command is a workaround.

Was your game a multiplayer game and you were not the first player in that game? I think it is the cause because CM currently only shows the popup to the first player.

Yes, that's an exact description. This was a local save of a multiplayer map where I was not the first player.

Hi Mooncat. Thanks for the great mod.

I noticed earlier when creating an oil setup that the maximum resource amount for the Magic Wand "Creator" tool is capped at 1,000,000 (one million) which only allows creating oil patches with a maximum 333% (33/sec) yield. With the oil changes in 0.15, this is somewhat close to what a normal oil patch would yield.

I was wondering if you would be willing to increase the resource amount cap for oil patches to something higher? For example, an amount of 10,000,000 (ten million) would yield 3333% (333/sec), which seems a bit more "cheaty".

I tried doing this myself by adding another value to the creator_resource_amount_slider_values table, but that didn't seem to work, so I modified the 100,000 value to 10,000,000. That worked, but I figured I would make a post as well to see if it was something you'd be interested in changing.

May I tell you the truth?
...

I forgot the x10 change in 0.15 again.
Will fix that in the next version.

Wut!? It is broken again!? pfff
Thanks for the fix!
Edit: the input fluidbox is for drawing the pipe cover. You can see that when you rotate the fluid source.
Edit2: I will update the graphics so the fluidbox is not needed. That arrow is really annoying.
