A couple things:
  1. It's generally considered polite to ask permission before using/changing things from other people, and while I can't speak for the others you took content from I didn't receive notification at all (though I wouldn't have, and still don't, have any problems with you using mine), just a tip/suggestion.
  2. There is a 'bug' with the cloning mod retaining inventories of modular armor (the remains.insert only inserts an empty armor piece, unfortunately you can't get the contents of modular armor, yet...so there is no 'fix' that I know of), still it should probably be listed on the page (both yours and mine)...
  3. DNA, I am in the process of changing this to a liquid so when it is updated your creep spawner would no longer work (assuming you didn't retain the old/current version).
  4. Stone age, hm, without extra content to extend it, I just find the stone age fairly boring. Hope to see you do something to fix that :D

  1. Of course, i understood. I expected such reaction. Only i can say for excuse, that i posted detailed links to original author's threads and descriptions for content i have used/changed. May be i shouldnt post my mod and use it just myself and with friends. But i decided to try to post and look, what will say others.
  2. I know thad bug. As you said, there is no way to fix it now. I tried some methods, but still not find the way to bypass that. No other way to manipulate items but using .insert method.
  3. I have such idea for dna as liquid. But if you already working on it, i just change my recipes and/or using methods in game process. Then it will be different mod. But if you will give me agree... :)
  4. "Stone age" is joke actually. In the beginning I just want to use icon of stone axe in basemod icons directory. But many stuff in the early stages of game process is pretty useless later! Burner inserters, burner drills for example, stone furnaces. Also fist two types of splitter. There is no way to utilize that. For one stuff i have changed vanilla recipes. For other stuff - market.
In future I will add more other stuff about that. If just other authors will not ask to delete that thread :)

  1. I'd recommend PMing or posting in the threads asking for permission rather than simply posting and seeing, it's mostly just courtesy but it eliminates the chance of having posted it and then finding that someone wants you to remove their mod. I doubt most people will mind too much (especially since you did give links to the original content).
  2. yeah...but not really a big issue here since it only happens after you've died (and thus your armor should really have been destroyed by biters....)
  3. I've mostly got it, but the graphics for a couple mods that use it look horrible so I haven't released it yet.
  4. of course :), The idea of a Stone Age isn't to use those items later, it's to make the initial Stone Age last a lot longer than it currently does (force electricity higher up the tech tree, and add weaker burner versions of some electric items etc., somehow introduce a way to literally make the first copper wire by hand, stuff like that). Of course, adding some 'biter hunting' with 'stone age' weapons would make it fairly fun...hm, there's an idea, biter traps...which give food (for health regen) and perhaps some dna in item form that can be converted to the new liquid using the collector or actually just raw food which can be turned into dna or cooked for health regen...well, I think I've gone off topic for this item so :)

If you are changing some vanilla recipes, I would advise testing it with dytech too, because that mod makes quite a lot of changes (stone gear for a lot of low tier stuff, for example), and you might want your mod to be compatible with the other "big" mods too.

Seriously!?! While I am writing this Factorio 0.8.8 is still the stable release, so each mod you copied is up to date as well. They might have some bugs but that does not mean anything at all.

And that you did not ask for permission (at least not FreeEr and me) and "expect such reaction" makes it even worse...

For me it is needless to say, but just in case that you cannot read between the lines:
I do not want my mod being part of "your" mod

  1. As i said. I expected, that somebody will mind too much :) Assembly of other authors mods is certainly bad idea. For that authors. But I want to make assembly of that mods indeed. Ok i am agree, i rushed a bit. Any way, I can any time close or delete that thread. Who cares. May be nobody will disagree? :)
  2. Then ok about it. Any way, with autosaves, cloning is not very important feature. Only if find some use of vanilla respawner. But i think it is overpowered in any case. And how to control player port by lua?
  3. I can try to help you with graphics :)
  4. Hm good idea indeed. But that biter creatures seems to be strong enough. I think such stone weaponry will help only on low evolution factor. Because medium biter already bigger then character. Even more so how big shoud be trap for big biter.

It was not tested for compatiblity with dytech for now. And most likely it is incompatible. I can make it turn off my recipes if dytech detected. Because i m not like at all changes that dytech does.

Two words as moderator:

1. Reagan, a good tip: I you want something from drs9999, then make conversation via PM. Or chat. Or Skype. Or ... It's not interesting for the public and much more useful.

2. @Drs9999, to help Reagan a little (I think he is very inexperienced yet): he excused, nothing is broken, and I think everybody has a second chance. :)

Just my 2 cents.

dont let your personal feeling that you dont like what dytech does, affect it for those that do like it. send me a pm, and i would be willing to help you make ours compatible. Some people will want both mods, and i strongly disagree about shutting your mod down when my mod is detected. You can create a different set of recipes for it, and set it to only load when dytech is detected.

as for using other peoples stuff, ALWAYS ASK!!!!!!!!!!!! even with just graphics. send a pm to the person, and wait for a response. if you dont get one, DONT use it till you get an answer.

Thanks for supporting! Any way, to cancel his mod be part of mine i just have to delete air-filter graphics. Because enything else in this mod was completely reworked by me. Nothing useful was there.

This is understandable. I can do it, but not now. And because i dont like it, it has lowest priority for me, so i have not much free time.

I am sad to say that I will most likely never use or promote your mod, and it's only because of you.

"Nothing useful was there"
"And because i dont like it, it has lowest priority for me"
Plus the fact that you didn't ask the original authors before publicly releasing a mod using their work.

From what I can see, you make a mod for yourself, and that's about it, not taking into account your users or other mods you don't like.
Someone that implies that nothing we say has any importance to him is not someone I want to help in any way.

Sorry, but I still hope your mod does well and finds a public.

+1 :P

nicely formulated :)

sure, but keep in mind, that a lot of people use dytech. you will be effectively cutting them off from your mod.

I think the first two of these are language issues. the first, simply stating that he'd changed most of the mod (which obviously means he didn't care for how the original worked or that it didn't work with everything else, not necessarily that it was 'bad'). Second actually seems reasonable, obviously you have to prioritize based on what you like and what your users want (I would assume that if he got a lot of people asking for him to include compatibility for some mod that it would have higher priority for him).
The last was a (poor) decision that he'd post and see who wanted him to remove their mods (rather than actually asking everyone first).
At least that's the way I see/saw it and why I don't have much of a problem with what he did.
slay_mithos wrote:From what I can see, you make a mod for yourself
Isn't that what a lot of mods are? You start by making them for yourself and then share it for anyone else that might like it. Obviously not everyone uses the mod's they make but I'd think that the majority do.

Yes and no.
I mean, sure, anyone doing mods (be it playing with mods or actually making them) does so to make the game closer to their likes.
The fact that everything (for mods) is not compiled makes it really easy for anyone to mod, or to at least change small things here and there (recipes, resources, damage values ...)

When you submit it to the public, you need to take into account many other things, and one that is very important is to actually listen to the players.
If you don't agree with them, give your reasons.
It's just that when the reason is "I don't like that, so no", it just feels like nothing will ever get through, as it just feels childish.
I totally understand that you need to prioritize, and your likes and dislikes will come into account, but there might be better ways to present it.

As for the quotes, I guess they can be bad wording from non-english writer (like myself), but here again, all his lines feel like a kid is trying to talk back, half due to anger, always in reaction to what was previously posted.


I don't enjoy personal attacks, because nobody wins anything from it, but when you are trying to "sell" a product, the form is as important as the actual content.

A shame, really, because it could have been way better presented if put in an other way, like presenting the community with a pack of a few mods (some up to date, some not), all integrated and modified to work and integrate together, with enough changes to everything to make it an attractive package.
With a few posts and PMs to the original authors, even if only for courtesy, it could have started way better, rather than becoming the argument it became from the get go (even from the original post).

Justly, but not at all. I said exactly, as it is. From anti-pollution mod in last version i have just graphics and thats all. Instead of crude code and two with half semiuseful prototypes i maked new and integrated in other parts of my mod. That is it.
Next.
If you dont like something, will you want to go in for it? I understood, that many people like this exellent mode. I have explored it, code, prototypes, and i like it. It is well maked. But there are some stuff in that mod i dont like.
Dysoch wrote:sure, but keep in mind, that a lot of people use dytech. you will be effectively cutting them off from your mod.
And i havent said, that i will not work on compatiblity. I said that i will not work on it for now, indeed. And not near time probably.

But about not notifying mod authors it really was my bad. Anybody in this thread slaps me with it alredy. I will remember it, and will see in my nightmares soon :D

You're right partially. As i said, i have not very much free time, because of that i ditributing it very carefully.

Well yes, there is reason in that. Instead of waiting answer from authors, that visiting forum one time for for half-year, more easy just post, then wait. For now, there was disagree just one author. That is the author of most tiny mod, that i used, lol :D

I dont know any reason for making mods especially for others. If somebody do that, that is his own business. In any game, for which i did mods, i did they just for self pleasure. To modify some parts of gameplay, to add some functions that will be very handy for me, for adding hardcoreness, bla-bla-bla. This is first time i posting mod ever. May be because factorio is most "easy to modding" game i ever saw...

Yes, i writing, using lingvo dictionary sometimes :) And you must excuse me some childish-like speaking. When i was answering first posts on my clock was about 04:30 am, and i was some tired. Because of that i answered wery shortly, that how i think in the moment.

Indeed. Nobody here is "sell" something. And this author with his outdated "half-pollution-mod", and me. If i really was selling something, i will really did serious work about it, before public presentation for customer. But there is some kind of mods sandbox. And everybody posting what they want. You should understand that.
