LONG DESCRIPTION

A factorio mod that removes the ability in vanilla game to make batteries in Chemical Plants, if you have enabled building them in Assembly Machines.

I produced this mod as a 'partner' to my 'Add Assembler Batteries' mod that enables building batteries in Assembly Machines.

This mod only works if you have my 'Add Assembler Batteries' mod enabled.

I visualise chemical plants as places where a chemical reaction is required to produce something. I also think that in the real-world, batteries are closer to being 'assembled' rather than made with a 'chemical reaction' in a plant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksxSOwA933M

How it works
The mod only runs if the Add Assembler Batteries mod is enabled.

The battery recipe from the vanilla game is hidden so it does not appear in Chemical Plants as an option.

* Advanced Notice *

This mod and its partner Add Assembler Batteries will not be updated for v0.16 of factorio when it arrives.

My thinking was wooly.

Even though the mod prevents batteries being made in Chemical Plants and forces them to be assembled instead, the acid still needs to be piped to the assembler. The footprint of a chemical plant is 3x3, the same as an assembler, so why not just use a Chemical Plant?

Updated for factorio v0.15 and v0.14 to fix: https://github.com/DRY411S/Remove-Chemi ... s/issues/3

This bug means that if you have researched battery with this and the Add Assembler Batteries mod both active, but later decide to stop using both mods, then you are unable to make batteries any more!
The bug also means that if you stop using only this mod in the above scenario, then the ability to make batteries in Chemical Plants is not reinstated.

It's recommended that if you use this mod, then you upgrade this and the Add Assembler Batteries mod immediately, as the fix includes a migration script to get rid of the problem on any existing saves that you have.

With 0.15 due to become stable imminently, factorio 0.13 support is withdrawn and the mod has been removed from the portal for factorio v0.13.
