How do I produce Lithia water?

[orzelek]

is there any way to get a list of locations for lithium water? I mean if I have the map exchange string could I run some program over it to give the locations of the recourse?

Thats not possible.
There was a mod that could scan for ore (would also generate hidden map till it was found) but it has not been updated to 0.13 I think.

This will cancel achievements tho.

I thought by installing mods you automatically cancel achievements?

AFAIK, it only blocks steam achievements, but the offline achievements in the game are still unlocked.

Hi,

I might have missed something but I don't have any Lithia water ground source. Only ground water. Am I missing something?

Make sure you have the latest version, the original release didn't spawn Lithia water.
Other than that, just keep looking around.

Hi Bob,

Just downloaded the latest version of Bob's Mods from your dropbox link and still have the same issue. I have walked for 5 minutes in each direction. There is lots of 'ground water' but no lithia water. Any other suggestions? I can't proceed with my game until I get Lithia water

It's spawning okay for me. though, it is a bit on the rare side.

If you were using 0.13.0, then you'll probably have to travel quite some distance to get outside of the 0.13.0 area to a new area where it can spawn.
Also, don't dismiss ground water as that, take a good look at it before moving on, the two (Ground water and Lithia water) look very similar.

Finally found some. Long way away from my base

It looks like a water patch but is slightly more grey.

Thanks for your help.

Install the config mod
open config.lua in your favorite text editor (Must be a raw text editor like notepad on windows, if you use a word processor, it'll effectively save garbage the game doesn't understand)
I don't have the mod here to tell you the line in the file, but, turn off ground water listed under ores, and it'll automatically enable though ground water recipe in the water pump.
HOWEVER, you'll also need to enter a command to enable the recipe again in an existing game, so... you'll still be stuck in the same situation. you basically need to just explore and find some.

also, make sure you're either not using RSO, or using the latest version of it, RSO wasn't compatable with Lithia water.

I want to activate old recipes for the Bob's pump. I've set the config file to "true", but my game doesn't change back to the old recipe. Tried in a new game, and I get the old recipes there. What is this magic command you are talking about? Are able to help me?

I dug it out of an older post

the ground water recipes are unlocked by the water pumps research.

As a result, you need to research water pumps AFTER you enable ground water.

If you have researched it first, you'll need to enable them with scripting.

to do that, open the console, and enter this command. it will disable any achievements that arn't already disabled.

Code: Select all

/c for index, force in pairs(game.forces) do force.recipes["lithia-water"].enabled = true force.recipes["ground-water"].enabled = true end

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Really enjoy Bob's Mods, thanks for putting in the effort!

Glad you enjoy them! hearing that people do really does make it worth the effort.

that or looking at the mod portal and seeing that half of the first page when sorted by most downloaded are mine.
