Like bob responded, I usually keep my power plants next to water sources, it is just one less liquid to move around. Now as for other fluids, trains are the way to go to move medium to long distances. The nice part about these is that you can have the train stations pump in/out of the tank wagons very quickly. Each tank wagon can have three pumps feeding or emptying it. so what you want to do is have three pumps connecting to each "top" of the tank wagon; those pumps are connected directly to a storage tank, and then connect all of the tanks together with pipes and undergrounds to help them act as one collection. you should have three storage tanks for each tank wagon at each end of the line. I am at work now, but will share a screenshot of what I have when I get home.enchant wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 6:47 pmI've got a question. I'm sure this must have been discussed before, but I searched around in this thread and couldn't find what I'm looking for.
Especially in the late game, I find myself needing to move massive amounts of liquid from here to there. My 500 boilers need water from yonder lake way over there. My plastic plant needs petgas from the refineries up north. I'd love to have a mod that incorporates high capacity pipelines, but I've got to live with what we've got.
As soon as they're introduced, I use plastic pipes for everything. So I'll place down 12 offshore pumps that each feed into a pump-4, then three spans of underground pipes, another layer of pumps, three spans of undergrounds, etc., etc. I have no idea what they best layout would be, and I'm hoping someone could tell me here.
Also, I control the destination station with a simple circuit network, that connects and reads from all of the storage tanks at the station, and only allow train to enter when there is enough room in the tanks to accept a full train. This makes logistics easier so that you do not have a train waiting here to drop off the fluids. With this, I can have one train manage three or more destination stations as opposed to having one train for each route. Again, I will share screenshots later.

Currently having an issue with boblogistics.
"Failed to load mods: Error while running setup for entity prototype "pump" (pump): next:upgrade target (bob-pump-2) must have the same bounding box."
Haven't played in a while, so I don't know with which update this started up. It seems to be too late to easily roll back to a version prior to 0.17.69, so I'll just wait for the fix.
Cheers!
EDIT: Ignore that. My mods were not up-to-date. Everything works fine.
Isn't that a case of not having the right version in the dependencies/conflicts then?bobingabout wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 1:18 amYup, happens.Ezarkal wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 11:21 pmHello!

I've had a lot of reports like this actually, and at least half of them did just what you did... report, fix it yourself, add and edit to say it's fixed.
you can update newer versions to work, and even in most cases work with older versions of the game.mrvn wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 10:51 amIsn't that a case of not having the right version in the dependencies/conflicts then?bobingabout wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 1:18 amYup, happens.Ezarkal wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 11:21 pmHello!

Yes, nothing you can do if the base mod breaks stuff. I was more thinking along the line of bobfoo breaking older bobbla. The update f bobfoo should then conflict with older versions of bobbla since you can't change the old version of bobbla.bobingabout wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 10:56 amyou can update newer versions to work, and even in most cases work with older versions of the game.mrvn wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 10:51 amIsn't that a case of not having the right version in the dependencies/conflicts then?bobingabout wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 1:18 amYup, happens.Ezarkal wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 11:21 pmHello!

you can't go and edit older versions that people already have installed to with breaking game updates. This is the one I keep getting bug reports, the game updated and breaks a mod, you need a new mod to fix the error, but the game doesn't know this, and just errors at you... until you disable the mod, then check for mod updates.
This is one of the reasons why I think a launcher (Even though you can still start the game without it) is vitally important.
1. You can check for and install updates without loading the game itself (Which can save several minutes)
2. It can check for updates of mods too, not just the game, which gets around these bug reporting issues.
3. You could also use it to edit the game and mod settings, so you don't have even more restarts later.
I must admit, that when I know a mod update isn't compatible with an older one, I change the dependencies to match, however, when I do it vs when it should be done in this 0.17 run is probably only about half the time.mrvn wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 11:06 amYes, nothing you can do if the base mod breaks stuff.

Although it would be nice if the devs had a test system that would try to load every mod with the new version and let the mod authors know when something breaks compared to the last version.
This question was asked on the mod portal somewhere.
That was me. I posted it in both places in case you only read one of them.
they're combat robots, they'll still die from being hit.

Also, overpowered ? Have you played Bob's ?
Half of yellow, 7.5
Did you enable the ore? From what I recall it's not enabled by default. You will get it as side product from some other production chain.evandy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2019 3:06 amIs Cobaltite a really rare spawn chance? I just spent about 15 minutes driving around in the car as soon as I unlocked it, and saw some of everything else. Single patches of Rutile and Gemstones, 2-3 of Uranium, Tungsten, Silver, & Gold. Plenty of Nickel, Galena, Zinc, Silicon, etc. I am using RSO with default settings, which will likely make a difference here.
This is my first Bob's only game (did Bobs & Angels together last time), so I'm still getting used to the number of raw ores with plain-Bob.
