Feel free to post comments on what you'd like to see changed. Also, feel free to post/send links to old mods you'd like me to update, and I might add them in if I like them. As for adding items myself...probably not. I might be able to edit code, but writing it is beyond my abilities

Graphics overhaul is likely on the way, so look forward to that.

For those keeping an eye on this mod, it seems that a graphics overhall (major or minor) is not likely to be underway anytime soon. I do not have the software (or the capabilities) to make the textures look the way I would like them to look, so they'll likely stay as they are for a good while.

If anyone has the capabilities and/or software needed to make better graphics than I, and wants to spend a little bit of their time doing so, feel free to PM me about it.


As for future updates, I am currently looking at a few new mods to add to the ones already here, as well as some additions/changes to the 2 mods already here. I won't give any specifics as of now, but keep an eye out for news in the upcoming weeks.

I get a 0.883 Error Util.cpp:58: Error in assignID, item with name 'accumulator' does not exist.
every time I load the mod on my PC

Check if your base mod did not disable itself.

[dillpickle1]

My base mod is enabled. I get the error when starting the game. So I wouldn't be able to check without removing the mod.

What version are you using? I just tested this using 0.13.9, and there was no issues.

[dillpickle1]

I'm using 0.1.1 which is the latest version I can download.

[Neomore]

No, sorry. I mean which version of Factorio are you using?

Also, are you using Steam or just Factorio

[cj89898]

Welp if I ever get back into Factorio I know my one-stop shop for mods

[Neomore]

After several weeks, I'm proud to introduce another addition to the set of updating mods: Advanced Logistics. This mod is actually a combination of two mods: UpGrade and Easy Belt Layer.

This mod adds 2 upgraded versions of all 3 types of underground belts, as well as 2 upgraded versions of underground pipes. The mod also increases the base distance of the underground belts from 5 to 10, as well as adding easy belt laying.

More information and link in the description

I wouldn't necessarially say that. I'd always suggest you use Factorio Extended if you want a one stop shop. They're the mods I use most of the time, except for Drills and Electric. I feel these solars/accumulators and drills are better than theirs

Well I guess that's always true. Gotta go everywhere to get what ya want!

If you are still seeing this error, or anyone else sees one like it, there is now an announcement on the mod portal about how to fix this error. It is a problem with how Steam and Factorio download updates, not the mod itself.

Hi i have a mod request for advanced electric is it possible to hook up the solar panels with a circuit wire to a circuit network so that it can output the power it produces i want to build an alarm with the circuit network that gives off a warning signal when the solar panels are for example: at 70% usage during the day so that i know when to put up more solar panels.

Would be nice if this could also be done on vanilla solar panels

Unfortunately I cannot do this. I am not a coder. I merely modify other people's code, and update outdated mods that are not being updated anymore (and I like). I do not have the ability to add anything that vanilla doesn't have. If vanilla did this, I could easily add it to my solars. Sorry about that.

That said, if someone else made what you are suggesting, I would gladly add it to the mod (with credit). It's just beyond myself to do such. Perhaps suggest that to the devs. It sounds like something they might like to add to vanilla

Hi,

just got a exception from Advanced Logistics:

6378.046 Error MainLoop.cpp:665: Exception at tick 424377: Error while running the event handler: __Advanced-Logistics__/control.lua:86: LuaItemStack API call when LuaItemStack was invalid.

I am unable to replicate the error. Can you send me some more information. Particularly:

What were you doing when the error occurred?
Do you use Steam, Factorio itself, etc.?
If you use Steam, do you have experimental version?
What other mods are you using?

[Qloshae]

Is a .14 update to the mod coming?

[Neomore]

Is a .14 update to the mod coming?

I have been a bit busy for the last few weeks, but I should be able to get a .14 version of all 4 mods within a day.

UPDATE: All mods should be completely updated now
