Changelogs

Fixes for 0.3.15
- fix crash in item selection of belt-sorter. Items from other mods which are registered after data-final-fixes of hardCrafting is run are not displayed anymore.
- fix potential division by 0
- fix desync issue. on_load in mod should never call initialization stuff.

Fixes and graphics for 0.3.14
- fix desync issue for multiplayer when connecting (apparently lua object oriented programming is hard to get right)
- added small lamp indicator for belt-sorter
- belt-sorter doesn't emit light anymore when condition is true

Fixes for 0.3.13
- fix bug when belt-sorters are built by construction robots (added migration to fix existing issues from savegame)
- fixed issue with big-processing-machine when DyTech modifies assembling machine pipes

Updates and news for 0.3.12
NOTE: This and previous versions have an issue when belt-sorters are placed by construction robots. (It won't crash, but the belt-sorters won't work and if you remove them and invisible entity will stay behind.)
-> Please update to 0.3.13 which fixes this issue
- fix memory leak in scheduled entities data
- big processing machine can get rid of twice the dirt
- big processing machine crushes iron as fast as pulverizing it
- added productivity module support for modules up to 10% productivity (above is not supported on purpose)

Updates and news for 0.3.11
NOTE: This version has a memory leak which is fixed in 0.3.12. Just update to the new version and load your save game as usual. Your next save game might be quite a bit smaller depending on your game time.
- Belt-sorter has now a custom gui (for factorio 0.12.33)
- new gui supports Copy, paste the filter among sorters.
- Belt-sorter has now much better performence
- Belt-sorter let's you select a circuit condition
- Belt-sorter requires power and is affected by low-power (slower distribution)
- Crusher let's you now select recipe (only when placing new ones, or removing and replacing old ones)
- Big-Processing-Machine added
- Added smart-long-inserter
- Improved graphics of fast-long-inserter (regular graphics as fast-inserter, just the arm is longer, no need for special color since the arm length is always visible)
- Walls again less expensive

News for 0.3.10
- walls, landfill, stone-bricks more expensive
- stone-walls take longer to craft
- make sure all furnaces work with hardCrafting (electric-furnaces mod)
- added compatibility for Angels infinite ores

News for 0.3.9
- added rich-copper at spawn point for an easier start
- added hungarian translation
- updated chinese translation

Updates for 0.3.8
- Fixed problem with russian localization
- Added french translation by Laevras

Fixes for 0.3.7
Fixed that smaller cargo-wagons work with bobs mods

Fixes for 0.3.6
Fixed zip-file generation (solves problems on linux/macosx)

Changes for 0.3.5
Belt-sorter supports now adjacent underground-belts and splitters

Major changes in 0.3.3
- Coal dust (is made by pulverizing Coal, more efficient when burning than coal itself)
- Steel dust (made with Coal dust + Crashed iron or Pulverized iron. Producing steel is therefore a little less expensive and faster)
- Sulfur dust is convertible back to Sulfur (with diminishing returns)
- Incinerators use less energy
- Added belt-sorter (Late game entity to sort your belts instead of using a huge setup with smart-inserters)
- Scrap metal (is produced by some expensive recipes. Scrap metal can be reprocessed to get back iron, copper)
- added Chinese translation (95% complete)
- better icons for Sludge/Slag processing (show process, instead of input items)
- Dirt can be dried to get rid of some mass (less power used for incinerators)

Long Description

• Features:
• Mining iron or copper gives you new different types of items such as iron-nuggets, gravel, dirt, copper-sludge and of course ore.
• New resource processing in 3 different tiers for iron and copper
• New technology for Crusher and Pulverizer processing machines required to get to the best processing of iron and copper
• Incinerator burns away items any excess items which you don't need
• Dirt and gravel (did you ever create a parking spot for your car? You can do that now...)
• Long fast inserter
• Belt-sorter, gives you ability to prioritize Belt lines
• Cheaper trains, but wagon carry only half -> thereby you need more trains in total. Yeah!
  Removed:
• Robots different recipes with rotor, antenna. a bit less liquid crafting (This is not in the default anymore, but you can uncomment it in the lua, see below about features)
  
  Additions when used with other mods:
• Landfill: Dirt can be used to craft landfill 2x2 as well
• Fluid barrel: Tier 3 copper processing can be done with barrels in the chemical plant (might help some players)
• Marathon: Supports Marathon mod by using variable recipes

Disable individual features

• The robot changes of this mod are disabled per default. You can enable them by removing the "--" in front of "--require("prototypes.engines-and-robots")" inside the data.lua file.
  
  If you want to disable individual features you can easily do this. Here is a step-by-step guide:
  1. Open up the zip file of hardCrafting
  2. Edit the file data.lua (with any basic text editor is fine, I recommend notepad++)
  3. The individual lines represent functionality that is imported into the mod from the source files. All lines which mention "prototypes" inside are actual features that can be disabled.
  
  Here an example: If you want to disable the electrical inscinerator look for this line:

  Code: Select all

  require("prototypes.electric-incinerator")

  and remove it or replace it by this line:

  Code: Select all

  --require("prototypes.electric-incinerator")

  The two dashes signal a comment and the recipe/item/entity/technology for this part won't be loaded anymore the next time you start factorio.

Recommendation

• Install it on a new map
• You can add the mod and continue an existing map (no ressource is actually missing), BUT: You will have to rebuild quite some parts of your factory (which I also find fun, depends what you like)

looks fun

[Saltan]

Well, that's a kinda awesome mod !

I am using it on a multiplayer game atm, and we are having a great fun with it. We just cancelled the changes on the robots, but played a lot with the part about iron & copper. It's very difficult to set a good plate factory !

May some of you share your solution for it ? I'm working on mine, but without great results for now !

Thx again for the mod !

[Lurkily]

I also like the idea of this, except for the changes to robots. Just FYI.

[judos]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your feedback. Can I ask you why you didn't like the robot changes? Was it specifically the fact that I omited the liquid crafting part?

Also what would you think about more hardCrafting parts? I was also thinking about changing the Stone mining sites (You get enough stone anyway with the other recipes) and Coal.
Then one more feature I was thinking of is to make all other recipes for machines (furnaces, assembling machines, inserters) harder by adding input like machine-, structural-parts and adding output like "old-metals" "unused metal parts" etc. Will probably make an update soon (when finished with the update for Packager mod.)
Until then I will of course take all feedback into account.

[Lurkily]

Lost track of this for a bit. Let me start by saying I have not tried this yet. This is, first and foremost, a mod of the refinement and smelting process. The robotics part just seemed tacked on and off topic. It's hard to find interesting smelting mods that do only what they do and don't try to throw in some other stuff because reasons.

That's why I'm not a fan of the robot recipe changes, and what put me off experimenting with this mod.

[ZombieMooose]

I've been watching a let's play series of this [located here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... j9lH3Ek7C9]

and I was wondering how well this stacks with Bob's Mods? Is it compatible?

I'm not asking if it has extra functionality, only if it works as intended with Bob's Mods.

[judos]

@Lurkily: Yes you are totally right, I will take this one out since it really doesn't belong into the mod
/Edit: The robot recipe changes are now disabled in 0.2.5 by default. See also description on how to easily remove individual features of the mod

@diongham: I just tested shortly and it works. Please post any updates or difficulties you experience if there arise any, I will make sure that I can support you.

[roy7]

Hey just a typo to report, "ressources" should be "resources".

[judos]

This mod runs currently on the modded server from daniel34, see this post if you want to check it out on multiplayer. It runs together with bobs mods & marathon, so the map should be quite challenging.

@Roy: thanks I will look out for typos and fix them.

[roy7]

We're using it on the public USA server as well. Bobathon + HardCrafting + No hand crafting (whatever mod does that) = pain.

[Kosto_Prav]

I liked the idea of your mod. So I made it to the Russian translation, which I want to present to you. It can be downloaded here https://yadi.sk/d/8Ap90vJ7pWVVh

[tetryon]

We have a LOT of dirt... we don't want to use it on the ground since it slows us down... what can we do with it?

[Arch666Angel]

Put it in a box and shot it

[tetryon]

Put it in a box and shot it

We have warehouses full of it... not a cheap option ;p

[Arch666Angel]

Isnt there an incinerator in this mod?

[tetryon]

Isnt there an incinerator in this mod?

Yes.. found one. I wish it'd create power instead of taking power though.. lol. Well, if there's no other use for it... But it'll be a toss-up between powering the incinerator and building more and more warehouses.

[V453000]

Felt like trying it but for some reason it doesn't like me

Does anybody else have this issue or is it a problem on my side?

trying on 0.12.24

Thanks!

@Kosto_Prav: Wow cool. Thank you very much for the contribution! I added the locale to the new version 0.2.7.

@tetryon: The Inscinerator is an option, but you are right, quite expensive. I will rebalance this soon. One option which helps a lot is the fact that if you use landfill you can create landfill 2x2 items out of dirt. These can then also be burned in the inscinerator (which saves a lot of processing time then of course). That's more like a workaround, I might need to balance this somehow.

@V453000: Ups seems like I was going to fast with that 0.2.6 hotfix for marathon. When marathon is not available the vanilla recipe doesn't contain the key result_count. I just fixed this for 0.2.7. Hope this one works better for everyone

[V453000]

Thank you for the swift fix I will try it out now

Seems to work (:
