Is this a known issue ?
Error notification when placing pumpjack.
Nothing crash though

Hi Mindmix,

Took the liberty to edit your post because one list tag included almost all the remaining of your post, including the spoilers for history, ... The forum doesn't cope well with such things, and it broke its layout. Now it's fixed .

This mod would be amazing if it could auto-detect different mining drills. I tried installing it on an existing Bob's Mods run that I have going and it throws out errors for everything outside of burner miners and regular mining drills. I looked through the code and I am not sure why it is also throwing errors regarding pump jacks, but it is.

Wishing for an update!

Fixed in 0.0.4, thank you for reporting.

This should now work with 0.0.4



The reason for the message about pumpjacks is that they have the mining-drill prototype, so the code can't easily distinguish between them (one mines solid resource, the other mines fluid resources)

Hi Mindmix,

I was using your mod with the Homeworld mod and a couple of others. The sand collector(Homeworld) keeps on getting set for removal even though there is enough resources.
Is there a configuration that I can add an item name or resource name into to fix the scanning?

thanks

I don't really get the point. I can just use a deconstruction planner to mark all the miners at once. It's a single action. Is this so that you can more easily retrive a few miners at a time if they run out? Miners are so cheap that it doesn't really matter. Once you have bots that can autodeconstruct you can afford to shoot the miners instead of picking them up. I don't see what problem it solves, did I miss something?

Moved from work in progress to helper mods.

i get the following console message when i use this mod. i believe it happens whenever a drill is marked for deconstruction



i'm running latest experimental as well as a bunch of mods, incl. bob's which adds new miners. though i get this error even when i play without bobs active

This issue is with the mod called "Automatic Deconstruction", which assumes that when something is marked for deconstruction it is triggered by a player.
I have made a pull request to remedy this, you can track it's progress here.

[iceman_1212]

Ah gotcha, thanks a lot. The names are so similar that I often get confused. My bad

[mindmix]

No worries, I hadn't heard of that mod either so it confused me at first too.

I was curious as to how you disable the deconstruction of chests? I have a largely logistics base, and when the chests are deconstructed, it hinders some of my workforce.

In config.lua, change line 4 to

Code: Select all

autodeconstruct.remove_target = false

I will make this change easier when .15 comes out

[FactorioHasAteMe]

That was pretty fast, thanks!

(PS: love your mod! )

I don't exactly know what you mean by the fourth line.

[mindmix]

Line three, currently. I guess notepad doesn't display linebreaks properly.

[FactorioHasAteMe]

What do you use for coding? Like what alternative would you suggest to notepad?

Hi, i found a not exactly a bug, but

If a drill is marked for deconstruction, and i save the game before it is deconstructed, upon loading the game, the drill will be unmarked, and never ever deconstructed.

This is happening because i presume Factorio does not correctly save all items marked for deconstruction into a game save file.

If you could just make it so when the game is started, all drills are re-evaluated again, but only once, this would i guess solve this problem.
