@OvermindDL1:
Good to hear!
I'd appreciate feedback at whatever point it is available.

[SoulForge]

EDIT; Disregard. I fixed it.

No graphics yet for the dark blue science intermediates just to make sure?

[UberWaffe]

Nope, sorry.
Real life is currently slowing progress on the graphics quite severely.

[ArchJudge]

Just wanted to say that the name and description for the new science packs are enjoyable to read and an overall nice touch

All good, just making sure I did not grab the git module wrong and you were using LFS for files or something.

Hehe, yes they are. ^.^

Regarding the productivity limitations.
If you add a soft Bob library dependency you can add this:

Code: Select all

local resources = {
    "sct-t1-ironcore",
    "sct-t1-magnet-coils",
    "sct-t2-reaction-nodes",
    "sct-t2-instruments",
    "sct-t2-microcircuits",
    "sct-t2-micro-wafer",
    "sct-t2-wafer-stamp",
    "sct-t3-flash-fuel",
    "sct-t3-laser-foci",
    "sct-t3-laser-emitter",
    "sct-t3-femto-lasers",
    "sct-t3-atomic-sensors",
    "sct-t4-bioprocessor",
    "sct-t4-overclocker"
}
if bobmods.lib.add_productivity_limitations then
  bobmods.lib.add_productivity_limitations(resources)
end

Oh Mr Uberwaffe, will this be updated to work on .13?

[hoho]

It already is. It' s on mod portal

[Xterminator]

I just updated on the mod portal but I get an error when I try to load up my save game from 0.12 that had this mod.

Here is the error:
Error while applying migration: ScienceCostTweaker Mod: ScienceCostTweaker_0.12.14.lua

Cannot execute command. Error: [string "for index, force in pairs(game.forces) do
..."]:5: attempt to index field 'advanced-research' (a nil value)

Anyone know what would cause this or how to possibly fix it? Thanks!

[UberWaffe]

@Xterminator: Sorry about that. Should be fixed in the new version 0.13.1
Check the mod portal / ingame mod update to get the new version.

@Ranakastrasz:
Seems I did not cater for the case where bobsmods is installed but bob's library is not.
Should be fixed in version 0.13.2

But... bobmods requires the library and none of them work without it afaik?

Do you mean the dark blue science packs from Bob's mods?

To be honest, I'm not really an artist, and I don't know what to make them.
So far all my 'graphics' is just bits and pieces of other graphics copied and pasted together.

Some help would be appreciated, even if it is only ideas as to what they should look like.

And yes, I am also being lazy on this.
I've been distracted with other games lately. (Notably Stellaris. Sidenote: Stellaris needs some tlc from the developer before I'd recommend buying it.)

[Aubog007]

Any chance for these to be updated to .14?

[UberWaffe]

I'm not sure how the mod portal handles versions for .13 and .14 both being uploaded.
So I planned on waiting until .14 is stable.

I'll take a look tomorrow if the mod portal handles the two versions correctly. If it does, I'll do a new version upload.

EDIT: It appears the mod portal cannot support two major game versions at once. viewtopic.php?f=189&t=31679
I.e. if I upload the mod for 0.14 everyone with the 0.13 version will break.

I should have some time tonight to create a 0.14 version and upload that as a zip in this thread, but the mod portal I'm going to leave as the 0.13 version until the 0.14 version is stable.

[orzelek]

Devs are fixing that game can't handle two mod versions in updater - portal can do it without problems.

And game had issues only when there were no dependencies at all I think - it worked correctly in other cases basing version on factorio_version from json file.
Only issue is figuring out how to version mod itself

Btw. Changing factorio_version seems to be enough to get the mod working again.
