So after about an hour of dicking around I finally got the zone controller to make a small circle of +'s around the zone scanner. No amount of changing wires / coordinates / zone input will cause it to clear the zone, nor am I able to create zones anywhere else. Only tutorial video I was able to find is over a year old and seems to have entities that don't exist, like a manual zone-creation tool. Is there any documentation for the mod that actually explains how stuff works?

A scanner doesn't make zones, it scanns it. So if you got it to mark +'s on your map then something is seriously wrong.

You need the zone controller. And clearing a zone is done by giving it x/y coordinates and no zone.

Can add auto-detect for bob's logistic when transport belt overhaul enabled - yellow belt must require grey belt when ur technology is researched

Yes, I will do that.

The latest update includes support for transport belt overhaul.

It also makes the bobs steam tech require basic steam tech.

Hi, discovered a bug with the vehicle burner generator. It is in the 'crawler' construction vehicle equipment grid with a vehicle construction roboport.
I loaded the burner gen with fuel and then gave the crawler a command to move towards a forest marked for deconstruction.
When the crawler stopped in position all the robots jumped out and flew off back to my base, ignoring there orders in the construction area.
I found out that this was due to the burner gen being emptied of fuel when a move command is made and the roboport deactivating as soon as the robots left the vehicle, causing them to find a new home roboport.

tldr;
Issuing a move command seems to delete the fuel contents of the burner gen.

I don't make the vehicle equipment mods. Incompatibility with vehicle roboports is a know issue. There is currently no solution to the problem.

There seems to be an issue with the mod when Bob's mods are installed, and the inserter overhaul is enabled. There are duplicate unlocks for the express inserters and express filter inserters are researched in the "Automation 2" and "Filter Inserters" research nodes (respectively), which are both red science nodes; they're impossible to actually make for a while because of the advanced ingredients, but they shouldn't be unlocked here. They also exist in their correct research node (Logistics 3); it seems that AAI is duplicating them much earlier in the research chain though.

AAI + Yuoki + ABPy causes the following issue (0.16) - All latets versions downloaded from the mod list:

To create the basic science 1 (red Science):
1. I need Fawogea stuff,
2. which is made in a Fawogae plantation,
3. which requires Tinned cable,
4. which is made from copper and tin plates,
5. which come from the tin and copper ore.

6. Tin ore you can be mine, water is needed (Py), so this requires an electric miner (with AAI, not default available),
7. which cost 150 basic science 1 (red science).....?

Burner miners can't be used. Could you maybe change the recipe for the electric miner that is is available at start and doesn't require research with added mods ?

Are you working on the 0.17 version of this mod? Can we have an estimated release window?

Earendel hasn't been online since January 26th. He may be working on it already, but you may not get an answer to this question by the time he's finished.

If someone knows how to get in contact with him, please let him know.

I've been struggling for time. 0.17 will be done soon but please be patient. I might have to take some time off work to get it done within a reasonable number of days.

Take your time. Just like with the base game, a good later release is preferable to a half baked early release.

Can we get spoilers regarding your treatment of power poles? If you keep the changes done to them, as well as your own, you get them having two intermediates each as materials. Will be troublesome to fit...

This mod is updated. It took a long time because walls have changed and my wall graphics are paint-overs done by hand.

Power poles do require iron sticks now (as do inserters).

Wow, nice walls.

inserters need iron sticks now? wow... I'll need to find a way to fit it into my mall. Will probably need to redesign it...

Im having a small problem with you pumpjack
I attach it to the boiler from the ocean and it doesnt want to work.
It doesnt want to pump water into boilers or tanks. it just sits there.
Is there something else I need to attach it too first ?
Im using AAI-Industry v0.3.1.zip on v17.8 Factorio

thx.

The offshore pump requires power.

Wow, gorgeous walls, even after the vanilla ones raised the bar in 0.17 !

It does have power. I am using ( Thermal Solar Power ) mod. Look at picture provided below.
Im supplying it with both Solar and Steam Engines and still says no power. And im still confused.

Only when I attach a Water Well from a different mod called (Deep Water Well) does then the Offshore Pump decides to work,
as shown in the next picture below. I dont know why your offshore water pump doesnt want to work on its own as its being supplied with water and power.
but when I attach a different water source from Deep Water Well, it then decides to work.

Your graphic shows a closed system. There is no power so there is no water, and your generators won't generate power without water. You can put a burner turbine down to kickstart the system.
