I'm also having the same issue -- guess I started my game at a bad time. Loving the full py pack but I'm just starting to hit volcanic pipe tech and have no spawns of that or regolite on the map. If there's a fix coming, any way to make it retroactive? Alternatively, does someone who knows lua mind giving me a console command to fix my map and generate resources somehow (regolite + volcanic pipe tech)? I don't mind using console commands but know nothing about lua and factorio's api so I need help
Thanks!

its being worked on atm. proably be an update later today or tomorrow as im trying to clean up some of the mess that is the starting area. once the update is out easiest thing to do besides explore more map is to use the delete empty chunks mod to allow you to reset any previously uncovered but unused map chunks.
if you dont want to wait theres a console command for editor mode that might help.
or a console command to spawn ores.
Code: Select all
/c local surface=game.player.surface
if surface.get_tile(game.player.position.x, game.player.position.y).collides_with("ground-tile") then
surface.create_entity({name="volcanic-pipe", amount=100000, position={game.player.position.x, game.player.position.y}})
end
paste that into the chat box and itll spawn a resource at the players position.

You must construct more Nexelit pylons.

OMG
This is high tech electric pole!

Another excellent-looking building. What's the range on this power pole?

Not a pole. And I currently don't know the stats. Waiting on the boss man to say but probably double or triple vanilla

lol...should be on pyAE forum. XD

I assumed it was a power pole of some form since it looks to be connected to power cables. Curious to find out what else it could be...

(This is using all pYmods up to AE):
I noticed that the fusion reactions don't actually produce more power, than what is spent to produce the ingredients.
I tested building separated processes where I supply the precursor ingredients externally, and then build all the buildings to supply a reactor using the highest tier Boron+Proton fusion recipe, or the more basic second tier fusion reaction and have them and the reactor be powered using the steam the reaction produces.
Meaning I have the first crafting of the recipe run on external power, and then use it's products of steam to power the second craft of the recipe and it's ingredients.
I noticed that the steam runs out well before the reactor is done producing the second batch.
Is this an AE specific update to make it so that these are more like expensive experiments, instead of a net-positive in power to run your factory with?
And if this doesn't actually produce more power than it consumes, why do it at all?

theyre very late game so havent gotten as much attention with recent changes but the anti matter fusion reactor produces nearly 2 terrawatts of power the others produce materials needed for science

Good days
It seems to me that the very first thermonuclear reaction (deuterium) at the moment (the only one with superheated steam left at the output) is completely unprofitable in terms of energy production. If only because the production of heavy water requires a huge number of energy-consuming centrifuges.
Or is this just our way of producing tritium? Besides getting it from a used control rod...hmm

I've just unlocked Chemical science and had around 6GW power generation coming mainly from a dozen geothermal water converted to steam and energy using Steam Turbine as well as around 20 Steam Turbines powered by Coal Power Plants (or whatever the building is).
After recent mod changes (Steam Turbine was buffed) my energy generation jumped from 6GW up to 32GW.
I guess someone had good reasons for this, but now... would I need nuclear power? Is that a mistake in the extra buff for Steam Turbines or part of the plan. If it's later, I'm curious, what is the logic behind that?
