What do you mean useless?
They are used in most of the recipes after the first tier....

I don't see how they could be more useful or less useless...

@McGuten What are the combinators and how do you use them

Most of vanilla recipes are untouched. Or all of them?

This way Im able to finish game almost without mining new ores. They are needed only for some machines, so no need for steady supply.
Imho would be great, if you add more and more new ores to components that are needed for research (like 1 new ore for green, 2 for blue and so).
Or maybe you can do this like different version of mod - "Hardcore" or so...

Anyone updated their old worlds with the Bob's Ores to this new version?

Have you encountered any issues?

There's a lot of changes in these updates but I am not starting over :D

Already using the new pack (updated modules) in a new world, good job !

Seems to work great after updating old worlds!

Don't forget to remove the Bob's Ores folder or Rar.

On an other note, I noticed that the Inserters in the Player Crafting Menu, they are all messed up.
What I mean by that is that they are not in order anymore.

A good example is the regular (Not modded) inserters, instead of starting with Inserters, Fast Inserters and then Long Inserters, it's Long Inserters/Fast Inserters/Inserters.
Very annoying, trust me on that one!

Same for the side inserters, but even more chaotic in the ordering.

2 others small "bugs", the Repair Kit MK2 as it's itemname instead of the In-game name and same for the Colored Concrete description (NOT 100% SURE, forgot to take a screenshot of it).

Also, speaking of Colored Concrete... I think you should just call them Blue Concrete, Yellow... etc.. Blue Floor sounds a bit weird when it's actually still Concrete, just different colors :D

So i installed 3.0.0, not the whole thing just core, automatization, logistic and trains.

On my save that had all these except automatization, what i notice a lot
-You made a lot of categories that take a lot of place and move a lot of items around for no obvious reason
-did you change the dynamics of electric rails, because i can't get further than a pole's reach before losing all power (problem from 2.2 also)
-Categories spam, getting lost was very easy. Hey, i need the electric smelter, it's not in production anymore, so is a lot of things the parts i installed don't even touch. All guns/armor/ammo went out of their specific category, again. I don't think it's well executed.

Any way to get automatization 2.2.0 somewhere ? I like it but not 3.0.0,,,

Nice update!
After i loaded saved game from older version, all my tin plates dissapeard with some message, but thats not serious.
Great job with new categories (except inserters), it will just take some time before you find optimal settings.
I see i still need Bobs Library...
And what about adding new ores to vanilla items?

They don't disappear, they are transform into an new ID.
At least for me that's what happened.

I wasn't really pleased with some of the textures, especially the Medium Poles and the Big Chest so I decided rework the Medium Poles ones and change the Big Chest :P
Enjoy!

Annoying and really ugly because it's unfinished.
I polished the side of the poles, removed some "white" where transparency should have been and made a simple shadow with a spray tool in Photoshop.
The bottom of the poles with the big metal plate still look weird on grass but does a good job on concrete.

I didn't really understand the texture with the Big Chest, it looked like a top made lockers and a garage interior.
The one i'm using is not the best resolution but it's pretty funny in-game with the giant chests :D

It may be asked already but how do I connect my e-rails to my electric network? I don't see a blue background like on the pictures. Or is this a bug with 3.0.0?
