How would I go about unlocking the +30 and +50 belt versions if I already had the research completed before upgrading to the 0.12 version of the game and installing the transport sub-mod?

I will fix it in next release

Hi there, first time 5dim's user here.
I would like to use the train modules only, but i don't want the changes in stack and inventory. How do i revert this to vanilla stack and inventory ?
Aside from stack and inventory size, what changes do the core made to vanilla ? I can't find much further info on 5dim's download page.

Also, will there be a problem if i use many logistic wagon regarding script update (recently, i found out that having too many sensor in one of the the mods i use is dropping fps significantly).
I assume with this 5dims logistic wagon, the script update will rose significant whenever the wagon get filled/empty.
Or is it not the case ?

In next release i add a config.lua file and there you can change it ^^

You can just open 5dim_core/data.lua and remove the "require("prototypes.changes")" line.

This file does all the stack and inventory changes and is safe to ignore/remove.

There seems to be a bug in the requester wagon, when i set some logistics on the invisible requester chest and then move the train, the logistics are removed when the train stops again.

Apparently at line 523 in control.lua there are 3 lines disabled that actually fill the requester slots, why are these lines commented out? It works fine when i bring them back.

Code: Select all

function setRequestSlots(proxy, requestSlots)
	if isRequester(proxy)then
		--debugLog("Requester")
		local i = 0
		local slots = {}
		while i < 10 do
			i = i + 1
			local slot = requestSlots[i]
			if slot ~= nil and slot.name ~= nil then
				--if game.item_prototypes[slot.name] ~= nil then 
					--proxy.setrequestslot(slot, i)
				--end
			end
		end
	end
end

Hi

I just researched modules mixing, I see the modules but can't find the mixer itself. Is it a bug or feature (maybe it's just disabled currently)?

[mikestuart30]

Where can I find wiki type info on the 5dim mods? For instance the end of my new mk2 engines (1- 14-10) had almost no water. I eventually found a post saying the new pipes had better throughput than the vanilla ones. From this I worked out that I was losing more water in each engine. I added the mk2 offshore pumps but I was still having pressure issues. I now need to upgrade the pipes between the pumps and the engines, but I have no idea what the stats are , or if copper or iron are better?

another Q - submerged vs normal tank - I presume as the submerged takes more resources it is bigger - but where would I find the relative sizes?

I have had similar Q's but I cant remember them offhand.

In future releases i make a description for all items and we work in a wiki for all modules

We are working in new icons for inventory and technologies





What do you think?

[SkyLight]

I think that crafting tabs should be styled in the same way as in vanilla. This two-color icons looks more like a WIP. Technology icons are fine, just replace the one for electric trains and wagons with higher resolution.

For next release we will use this, maybe in next releses we change it but i like how it is looks ^^

Anyway, thanks you for the feedback, i love it ^^

[Kingoftime]

Im trying to get the electric trains to work but they dont seem to be behaving, i have electric rails and the electric train and i have power line beside the track but the train does not have power. Whats going on here? am i missing something?

[Yinan]

Having the same Problem.

The start seems to be electified, but after a few tracks this suddenly stops and I can get barely past the gate before I'm running out...

[Lurkily]

I had a question, before I dive into some of these modules. The website says that to use some of the ores I'd need bob's ores - does this mean it's a dependency, and that I won't be able to use these in a vanilla game? Not sure I'm interested in the level of complexity that eleventy-twelve different ores would introduce, just yet.

[Berkys32]

I installed bobs ore with needed bobs library but couldnt find any new ores...

Electric trains work for me, if i use standart rails and high poles next to them. Train doesnt have electricity whole time, but its enough to get from one spot to another.

If you like your tech icons, can you remake default one, so it all looks same?

[skudd3r]

How is the War module coming along? Looking forward to that one.
