The newest file has stacked technology.
Meaning that the required technology doesn't show up as a different set.

Completely my bad. I must have not uploaded the quick fix. It has been fixed and uploaded now

Thanks, got it now.

I'll throw here the same suggestion as I said on the other topic: show us a few numbers! Or even pictures/video!

Hello. I love this mod, but i feel like several of the number values were very unbabanced. As such, I made the following changes:

Edited the health, mining speed, and energy consumption values to be more balanced, and better resemble values in Factorio.

Edited the pollution values. When new technology is created, it gets more powerful, more efficient, and less polluting. As such, the pollution levels were changed to reflect this.

Lowered the number of modules in the elite drill to 4, to better balance with in game values.


If you want to incorporate these changes into the final version, or just ignore them, that's fine either way. I just want to give everyone else the chance to download and use this awesome mod, in the most balanced form.

I really do like that you have done this! When I made this mod I was new to factorio and everything about it. I just... knew how to code so I thought "Why not make something?" I will include these changed if I do update this mod.

Since I like this mod so much (and at this point am basically upkeeping it while the mod author is away or busy, I updated the mod to .13 version. You can count this as the unofficial official update, from the "not quite a co-author".

EDIT: As I have been now made co-author by cj89898, thus can now be considered the official update.

For future updates, look on the following page:

Just to let you guys know, this mod took almost no time to update. That said, because .13 is so new, there is no working test mode yet. So, I pretty much had to modify test mode for 2 hours to get it to the point where it would let me have the 3 drills in my inventory. As far as I can tell, the stats are the same as the previous version, and everything SHOULD work. That said, I couldn't get test mode to place the drills on the ground (test mode's fault, not this mod), nor could I test that the tech tree works, so let me know if something is broken, and in my small Factorio coding knowledge, I'll attempt to fix it

EDIT: The test mode is now working (possibly 100%), and has been uploaded to the test mode forum page: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=2842&start=60

For future updates (assuming the mod developer doesn't return), look on the following page:

The only reason you are pretty much upkeeping the mod (which I am thankful for) is because I don't really play Factorio. I'm a type of person that like to experiment with coding and all that and then, if it works, it works. I moved on from Factorio onto other games to basically do the same thing. This is no excuse or anything, because I am very greatful that you are upkeeping this mod. You can include yourself as an author in all of your updates. You have my permission to re-post this mod as long as I am given credit. Do as you wish.
