Factorio Forums

So yeah, I just installed a bunch (basically all) of Bobs mods, because I wanted to try it out. Now when I try to start Factorio I get this error message and the game closes. Anyone know what causes this, and how to fix it?

Edit: Full title didn't show ""Error in assignID, technology with name "laser-turret" does not exist" "

Moved from Technical Help to Bob's mods.

It's most likely interaction with some other mod.
Do you have any other mods that modify turrets?

One way to "Fix it" is to browse to the directory your mods are installed in. If you downloaded the game from the website, it is likely the same directory you installed the game in, otherwise it's somewhere in my documents.. I don't know where, mine is in the install directory.

once you've found the mods folder, delete the offending mod. The only one of mine that edits turrets would be Warfare.

And as Orzelek pointed out, my mod by itself wouldn't break the game, they've been thoroughly tested. The issue is likely the result of another mod making other changes related to turrets.

As far as I recall though... Laser Turret is a base game technology, so if it doesn't exist, it's because some other warfare mod removes it. Laser Turret technology is a prerequisite for my laser turret MK2 technology.
