With update 0.99.5 I got following error message:

Without IR it loads fine, without QoL also but most of my the inventory is laying around me on the ground.

With update 0.99.5

Try 0.99.6 which addresses this issue. If not, then you need to report it to the QOL mod because I've done all I can for now.

Unbelievable, that's fast.

Thank you.

Great work and really enjoyable!

I am awfully sorry to tell you the error still exists in 0.99.6

Removing old (coal) buildings is a real pain, bots are not realy helpfull because there is alot of coal and stuff in them.

The electric miners are realy large, and feel inefficent, because of the reduced miner density.

I had some early medium worm spawns, they were realy tough with heavy armor and some turrets.
The shotgun turrets are strong, but die quickly.

Not sure about (early) coal crushing, to reduce pollution, guess its a close thing, requiring lots of buildings.(maraton)

how well does IR play with infinite ores. i cant think any real issues that it could cause but ive only played as far as bronze era and haven't looked at the code at all. i ask because ive had someone asking me about how well https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SJT-DirtyOre-Remastered would work with IR and im wondering if theres any issues im not aware of that could create a conflict by adding an infinite ore into IR

Completely untested. Can't think of any conflicts. Tin and gold are generated with the bog standard resource_autoplace provided by base, i.e. same as vanilla ores, and that's called early from data.lua. The IR ore processing chains would be completely unaware of any other ore, dirty or otherwise, added by any other mod, though. If that mod adds some way of getting dirty ore back to "real" ore then it would work out fine, but if you can smelt dirty ores into something then it would bypass the whole processing chain and ingots as well.

The electric miners are realy large, and feel inefficent, because of the reduced miner density.

They're all remarkably close together, but by my calculations, each tier is an improvement over the previous. Tiling copper miners is an interesting problem. If I insist I have to cover the entire ore patch, the best I've figured out is four in a 8x7 cell. (Also excluding leeching.)
As a result, I calculate 2.68 ore/tile/minute for copper miners, 2.73 ore/tile/minute for electric miners, and 2.86 ore/tile/minute for advanced miners, which is +2% and +5%. This doesn't consider the effect of modules, though. Fill the miners up with speed module 3s (0, 2, and 4), and suddenly the ratios are +104% and +57%.
By energy consumption, electric miners win; copper drills take twice as much energy per ore as electric miners, and advanced miners take 25% more.




For my part, I feel like I'm struggling with the lead/tin balance. I'm making tin ingots from refined tin, and lead ingots from powdered lead, but still feel like I never have enough lead. I'm using tin ingots only for red and green science. Is there something else I should be using tin for?

So IR + Lazy Bastard is only possible with the starter kit enabled in the options as making a lab is 99 crafts and packs are 6 crafts each for a total of 159 crafts needed to research automation. Copper assemblers are 90 crafts. Starting with the basics + a lab would still require 150 between the 10 packs + assembler. What do you think about a less-gentle starter option for those who don't want a full starter pack that gives the barebones miners and furnaces + a single assembler to kick things off?

ore/tile/minute

What does that even mean, practically?

The "biggest miner = lower energy efficiency" thing is by design, it applies to some of the other high tier machines as well, not consistently, on purpose. The fastest machines get a much better boost from exactly the same modules as mid-tier machines. Burner machines can't use electric modules at all, by design. In terms of ore/minute, the higher tier drills are objectively better in absolutely every sense, without modules. It's only murkier if people start calculating how many drills they need to exhaust one specific ore patch in the shortest time possible.

I think the "mining drill density" thing is a playstyle issue. It's not going to change, so if it's a deal-breaker for folks, that's life. I've seen some bonkers things in screenshots and videos - players spending the first 90 minutes handcrafting burner drills to cram as many as possible onto the starter patches before they even try and research/build a single assembler, complaining about "being forced to handcraft" every step of the way - they then either have way more copper and tin than they could possibly cope with (even in a midgame base, let alone the early Stone Age), or they exhaust the entire starter patches before they've even got to rail ... If people bring their same old, same old vanilla methods to an overhaul mod, it's just not going to work out.

The current mod is a "beta" version. There were always going to be balancing issues and very likely some necessary changes before the 1.0.0 version. Tin consumption is medium-high on the list of things I'm working on for that. Steel and sulphur are worse, in my view. There is a thread about it on the mod portal forum. I've started work on it, it won't be available for a couple of weeks most likely, because I am out of town for part of that time.

It's possible - it would require Automation 1 to be auto-researched as well - but to be honest, compatibility with vanilla 'cheevments is very very low on the list of things I need to sort out. There is nothing to prevent you using the existing Bronze Age bonus kit and then throwing 95% of it away.

"Normal" and "expensive" recipes are not supported. Recipes are what they are.

(Of course there's also the x4 tech cost part...)

Ore/miner density does have an importance, as evolution is also a function of time... but yeah, you need to play on harder settings than default to notice.

I see the newest update refer to something about the generator equipment and multiplayer. But currently in 0.9.5 single player ctrl+G does nothing except change the yellow tint on the toolbar icon. Also, when I played last the icon was yellow and activated from the get go. This time with the 0.9.5 update and new game it was off from the start and I never even realised it untill I wanted to turn it off. I'm not having wifi for some weeks so can't update vut thought to let you know it was/might be a single player issue too...

Expect a visit from the Revolutionary Ministry of Adjustments.

Mr George Orwell, is that you? I'm happy to report on this playthrough I am doing it LazyBastard style. 6 hours in and the iron ingots just got flowing...

That is all CTRL+G is supposed to do.

(Re-)Read the tooltips on personal generator equipment items, and/or find the long post several pages back about what the generator equipment manager does and doesn't do.

If you are attempting to maximize ore per minute, the bigger miners are better. You can pack just over half as many miners in the same space, and each miner produces exactly twice as much.

Ah. Right. I'd seen that thread and then forgotten about it. Sorry to complain about something that's already on the list.

It's not a showstopper, so I'll just keep stashing my tin in the meantime.

Maybe the tooltip should rather read: Toggle fuel leeching from player inventory for burner generator" or something of that sort...? Current tooltip is not very clear I believe and I did have English as a second language at school and study at university in English...

Hi,

where can i find the electronic chip from the recipe? (8x Elektronischer Schaltkreis) I'm also missing electrical inserters.
Probably AAI o_O

Probably. For me, electronics 1 also unlocks the electronic circuits.

Sigh. That mod again.

I can't release a fix for this on the portal at the moment but a hotfix is attached in the zipfile. Unzip that file and copy it over the existing one in the IR mod folder under code/mods/. Fixes broken unlocks for electronic circuits, inserters, radar and the electric lab.

There may be a problem at Logistics 2 and Optics as well - I am running two other mods not explicitly on the OK list (miniloaders and Nixie Tubes), but looks like it's a IR v. AAI conflict (These are both taken after the hotfix above):

Yeah i removed AAI completly.
God thanks all techs are reset correctly.
