Would it be possible to output the chest's contents to a circuit connection? That would open up some interesting possibilities, I think :)

Downloaded the mod, did the load, save, load thing but they won't show in the crafting menu or in an assembly. The research worked as you can see at the screenshot.

Hmm, it looks like at some point I forgot to include the file that's meant to fix that issue :)

You can run this in the console to fix it until I upload the fixed version:

/c game.local_player.force.recipes["compression-chest"].enabled = true
/c game.local_player.force.recipes["compression-power-pole"].enabled = true

Compression Chests worked fine in 0.12.12. Upon upgrading to 0.12.13 and loading a 0.12.12 save, I get this error:

0.12.13 is completely broken when it comes to mod data: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =7&t=17275

You'll want to stick to 0.12.12 or stop using all mods until 0.12.14.

I'm running a MP server (headless linux) and I've upgraded it to 0.12.16.

I try loading it up and it gives the following:
12:05:23 [Error] Util.cpp:47: Error while running the event handler: __Compression Chests__/control.lua:968: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
Is this related to the issue with 0.12.13 that was mentioned previously?

EDIT:
Not sure it matters, but here is some additional information from the log file:
6.127 Info Scenario.cpp:123: Map version 0.12.13-0
7.065 Error MultiplayerManager.cpp:105: MultiplayerManager failed: "Deserialisation mismatch. No inventory for given inventory index."
7.065 Info MultiplayerManager.cpp:869: networkTick(0) mapTick(-1) changing state from(CreatingGame) to(InitializationFailed)
7.065 Error Main.cpp:266: Couldn't load the game for MP: Deserialisation mismatch. No inventory for given inventory index.

Yes. By saving it under 0.12.13 all of the mod data was broken. You'll need to remove all of the mods, load and save the game in 0.12.16 and then you can add them back.

I just found a weird behaviour with the compression chest when running exclusively on capacitors at night:
They simply stop working as their power poles don't draw any energy from capacitors.
As soon as the sun comes up and the solar panels get back to producing power everything is slowly back to normal.

I'm using 5dims and bobs mods as well as your compression chests obviously.
After finding out about the power pole problem I tried using different capacitors, even the vanilla ones. Sadly nothing changed that behaviour.
It would be inconvenient if I had to build a steam power backup just for the compression chests :(

The problem there is that the power poles are in effect accumulators themselves, and the way the game works is that accumulators never take charge from other accumulators. Either build more compression power poles around each compression chest, or disable the power requirement altogether.

Is it possible to accelerate the rate at which the chests can accept items? Right now they're the only bottleneck on my entire system.

Hi using windows 10 x64
and factorio 0.12.20

How to move chest? It moves only one tile. Or is it not possible to put it in inventory?

You can build more chests. It's an intended part of the mod that they have limitations since you're storing an unlimited amount of items in one tile.

That's what the mover does. If you empty the chest you can pick it up otherwise it only moves 1 tile at a time by design.

I'm new and for some reason the Compression Power Pole doesn't have energy, it's connected to a power source and Electric demand satisfaction is green.

-Thanks


EDIT: I got it working just had to get the panels working.

Those poles are finicky.
They sometimes work only on solar power - any other power source won't load them.

There's a mod that'll let you put all vanilla liquids into barrels, which can then be stored in a compression chest. It's not ideal, but works in a pinch.
