Hello, future me, edition.

Long description

Adds a set of late game researches which can be conducted infinite amount of times. Each following upgrade is weaker than previous. (Currently, to get additional bonus of 100% you need 6 researches, to get another 100% - another 9 researches, then 12, then 15 and so on.)
Upgrades are present for all vanilla ammo types. It also can generate upgrades for custom ammotypes however the result isn't pretty.
Also there are damage upgrades for vanilla turrets , lab speed and manual mining (just because).
Finally, mod puts railgun in game (which is made by devs, but recipes for it are never enabled), since there's no simple way of determining whether the item is available to player and having generated upgrades for unavailable weapons would be silly.

/c remote.call('UpgUnl','fix')

Get involved

In addition to a better sprites and locales for other languages, this mod might also need locales for procedurally generated upgrades, those come from another mods that I don't play and cannot hunt down every last of them. So if you come across something written in lua instead of English, be a dear and make locale file for that, will you?

There seems to be a problem with the mod. a bit odd.

A lot of names are like the one you see in the pic posted. and also icons missing.
I checked Graphics folder. Seems you didnt complete maybe ?
Im using Factorio v12.3 with 92 mods installed.

anyways, just reporting

[Adil]

That's what I said not looking nice. The ammo you've demonstrated is added by mods, it is detected and corresponding upgrade is added, but I don't know of any way of procedural generation of localisation. Nor is there a way of procedurally generating icons. Hence all ammotypes I didn't know of get the placeholder icon and no name.

To fix the names, I'd need to manually write them in the locale. To do that, I'd need at least a name of the mod that adds it, preferably a name of the mod and a list of ammo types you wan't to have a pretty upgrade name (localised will do).

To fix icons, I'd need to make those for each ammotype in question. That I'm not sure I want to do as I'd like to keep it lightweight and not burden the download with content that won't be used. I'll think how to make placeholder icons for different techs more discernible however.

Updated to 12.11. However the privilege of testing is up to players. I'm not having enough time for that. Though I'm hopeful about the mod.
Not functional for now.

Would you be interested in having someone else try to update the mod? I'm interested in taking a look at it, and while I won't make any promises about actually being able to fix it, I think it might be worth a shot.

Go ahead, it shouldn't be that hard, I just can't get myself working on factorio recently.
Feel free to start your thread or I might put the link to post of your potential release in the op of this one.

Are still working on this, or is this dead? Because I loved just mowing down forests with the combat shotgun.

The first post says "on indefinite hold" so Its not likely the mod will get updated. Its last listed compatible version was .12.2 and we're on .12.30.

[Adil]

I've performed update to the current version. Quick tests show no bugs.
Thank you, everyone, for your persistent interest in this mod.

[Adil]

There's no such thing as a smooth release, is there? Version 0.2.2 is n the op, now dirt-cheap debug recipe is not present.

[bigyihsuan]

Thank you for updating! It works perfectly! Time to mow down forests by the thousands....

[Lukas0120]
