The idea of this mod is to be a foundation for my later mods, but also is to provide a system of aquiring the DyTech and F-Mod new metals without using the relatively unrealistic "Smelting with lava" method in DyTech, bringing most of the methods closer to reality. (F-mod did a fairly good job, but I went down my own path anyway)

The best place to get the required ores is from bobores mod.

Also, to automate all the new materials, Bob's assembly machines is required.

Screenshots from my game using bobplates v0.5.2:

These are the Electrolysers, I am currently producing too much oxygen, so replacing some of those Water Electrolysis stages with Salt Water Electrolysis stages might be a good idea. So far we're producing Sodium Hydroxide as an unwanted byproduct. This is a useful resource that would be used in the Aluminium chain.

The new gasses then go into the next part of the chain, to produce Hydrogen Chloride for the Tungsten process, while the oxygen goes to produce Nickel, and Zinc is tacked on the end because it uses the Sulfuric Acid byproduct, but that is also plumbed into the oil chain.

Then the Hydrogen Chloride is connected to my Tungsten chain to produce Tungstic Acid with a Calcium Chloride byproduct, then Tungsten Oxide, and finally Tungsten Powder. the Calcium Chloride byproduct would be used in the Titanium chain.

And then we go up to my Alloying chain. on the left we're using Tungsten Powder to produce Copper-Tungsten plates from Copper and Tungsten Powder and Tungsten plates from Nickel and Powdered Tungsten. we're also producing Brass, Bronze, Electrum, and Gold. The gold here requires Chlorine to smelt.
Not pictures is my production of Silver, Tin, which are both simply smelted, and Copper, Iron and Steel which are base game.

Wrong place, move it to "Work In Progress Mods".

Posted: **Sat Jun 07, 2014 5:54 pm**

Well, I can't move it, so I finished this one off (since it was nearly completed anyway) and released it. Still likely a few things I missed.

Posted: **Sun Jun 08, 2014 7:30 pm**

I got a few questions about this:

Does this make it easier to turn the new ores from bobores (which I already am running) into plates than using the lava heaters and blast furnaces etc?

Can I add this into a previous save game and it will add in the new structures and technologies with no problems?

Posted: **Mon Jun 09, 2014 12:50 am**

Easier depends on how hard you find the lava to do. Some materials like Silver are very easy to make, because you just smelt it. Others like Aluminium, Titanium and Tungsten are probably harder to make, because it has quite an involved process. However, of the DyTech ores, Tungsten is the only one in my mod that is quite involved, so overall, I'd say less involved than the lava method. Mine comes more complex when you take Aluminium and Titanium into consideration. Aluminium being an F-Mod ore, and Titanium being an unimplemented ore in F-Mod.

Also, unlike DyTech where everything pretty much researchs itself as you play using the Dynamic system, my mod requires you to research things in the labs, which might slow you down a little.

As for adding to a new savegame... it does seem to work fine, but I can't guarantee it.

I will be adding a 0.5.1 release soon (not quite ready yet) which will change Gold from being stright up smeltable to requiring research and one of my new buildings, so keep that in mind if you get to use gold in my mod.

V0.5.1 is up, first post edited to show changes.

I have a question for opinions for V0.5.2.

I want to re-work the recipe for the MK2 Mixing and Chemical Furnaces. They're supposed to be upgrades to the current Electric Furnace, but the Mixing furnace only requires the Electric furnace as an ingredient, the chemical furnace can do the job of all 3, and faster, yet only costs the electric furnace and pipes.

I was originally thinking, just make it cost more, throw in some bricks, and steel, and stuff... then I remembered I have all new metals, the purpose of the mod, which can all be made in the lower end mixing and chemical furnaces

So, what do you think they should cost to build?

I have posted some screenshots of my V0.5.2 WIP release in the first post. This will serve as an example of the mod when I do release V0.5.2.
Some things such as the Oxygen and Nickel parts don't make much sense if you're looking at V0.5.1.

You apear to be talking about bobores, this topic is about bobplates.

Posted: **Sun Jun 15, 2014 9:33 pm**

sorry

Posted: **Sat Jun 21, 2014 2:40 pm**

Version 0.5.2 is finally uploaded. I've been tweaking it less and less recently, so I decided it was ready to release.

Posted: **Thu Jul 03, 2014 8:11 pm**

real hard mode! good!!

I cannot get this mod to work on Factorio 0.10.2. Is this intended? Bob's ores works on 0.10.2, so I assume this should too? Or do I assume wrong?

No, the game just stops loading after it hits your mod. The log file looks like this:
11:21:53 Info None: 2014:07:04; Factorio 0.10.2 (Build 10388, linux64)

I have no idea what is going on, I even removed the 0.9.8 folder in case that was the issue.

not tried with rail layer or youki mods, disable or remove those and try again, see if that helps then let me know if it works.

It still conks out when it hits your mod.

Posted: **Fri Jul 04, 2014 4:16 pm**

I'm not sure what's going on, I'll have to take a look at it at some point over the weekend and see if I can figure it out.
I've also not tested it on Linux, since I don't use Linux.

It worked fine on previous versions of Factorio?

Have you tried loading factorio with bobplates disabled? it could just be hanging on the last mod in the list because of an error unrelated to my mod.

Posted: **Fri Jul 04, 2014 4:59 pm**

This is the first version of Factorio I have used, and it works fine with every other mod but this. I am going to try with just this mod and see if it works. EDIT: Just tried with just this mod and it did the same exact thing.

I don't know what to recomend, so, just disable it for now, I'll have to have a deeper look at it for you.

Okay, thank you. This mod looks like a lot of fun, so I really want to use it.
