Development and Discussion

Yeah, logistics and add on! I want them before going for 0.15! Until then it is not worth it!

I changed the barreling to use the vanilla barrel recipes, but they go into the heavy pump -> renamed to barreling pump now. There is an option to turn on auto barreling, which makes the pump a furnace and hides the recipes.
Recipes are moved over to the fluid control tab along with the empty barrel, the tanks and the valves, might also move over pipes and small pump over time, so everything used for fluid handling is in one place/tab.

I did tweak a thing on the fluid boxes for all the autocrafting machines (clarifier, pump, flare) but I cant say if that has any influence at all, my guess is that it is some wonky behavior because of the fluid changes.

I will update all my mods, only have more RL stuff at the moment than usual, so please have a little bit more patience with me

Of course I understand, just clarified your plans.

The plans for now are:

Maybes:
-Add fluid requirement to infinite ore mining (only infinites!)

Hi Angel, I'm just wondering if you've made a decision with regards to using fluid mining for infinites? And if you're not planning to do that would you be OK with someone else making an add-on mod with that feature?

Hello, after last refining update I cannot load petrochem mod, error attached.
I have a huge mod list, including all yours and bobs, but it all worked fine day ago.
Do you need anything else to diagnose this?

Thank you for your mods!

[razorts]

have same problem, cant load the mod

[Diedel]

The last round of updates makes the load again, haven't played it yet, guess those updates belong together.

I will add that and an option to turn it on/off in one of the next versions of infinite ores.

Awesome! I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks!

also an possibility could be a fluid input in oil pumps as fracking.

[Diedel]

So far everything looks fine after the migration. One little warning though, the Cleaner will now only take water, it will take other fluid, like fuel oil, but will never get rid of them. Was using them all over my base and had to switch over to the flare stacks, looking much nicer anyway.

I updated the mod but I lost the technology Fluid Control
And I can not produce technology in barrels ..
What code to update the technology and recipes?

я обновил мод но у меня пропала технология Fluid Control
и не могу производить технологии по бочкам..
какой код что бы обновить технологии и рецептов

If the vanilla method is to be used from now on, then the vanilla barrels will need an update. They're impossible to tell apart.

Inventory barrel icons:


The nice icons from the barreling tab:


Angel + Vanilla barrel of the same chemicals on the belt:


If the barreling tab icons can be used in some way, that would make for a good global mod for everyone to use, if someone wants to work on that.

[DarkHelmet]

The barreling pump was missing from my world. I'd already researched fluid-handling. I fixed it with:

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.recipes["barreling-pump"].enabled = true

Vanilla barrels use the code from Omnibarrels mod, it copies the "main" color of the fluid icon as the barrel body color and the "offset color" as the barrel trim color, for the hydrocarbonites they all will look black barrel with white trim since those are the 2 colors of the fluid.

I don't see a way to "change" the vanilla coloring system since its made on the basemod, but I think that a simple override on the image or maybe override the item color table so when the function that makes the barreling grabs the color table of the item, it'll grab different colors for the fluids allowing them to be more diverse.

This is the function that creates the color:

base code

Code: Select all

-- Generates the icons definition for a barrel item with the provided name and fluid definition using the provided empty barrel base icon
local function generate_barrel_item_icons(name, fluid, empty_barrel_item)
  local side_tint = util.table.deepcopy(fluid.base_color)
  side_tint.a = side_alpha
  local top_hoop_tint = util.table.deepcopy(fluid.flow_color)
  top_hoop_tint.a = top_hoop_alpha

  return
  {
    {
      icon = empty_barrel_item.icon
    },
    {
      icon = barrel_side_mask,
      tint = side_tint
    },
    {
      icon = barrel_hoop_top_mask,
      tint = top_hoop_tint
    }
  }
end

as you can see above, you have side_tint, side_tint_alpha, hoop_tint, hoop_tint_alpha, barrel_side_mask, barrel_hoop_top_mask and top_hoop_tint. Essentially you have to override 7 color variable that comes from the item color table and the fluid color table of that item, the combination of those 2 tables produces those 7 variables that are used to make the barrel colors. If you ever played with Uranium Power Mod and Omnibarrels you would notice that it has some recipes that have the same barrel colour but a tidy tiny bit of alpha difference that is hard to diferentiate.

The other option would be to just create a separate barreling system just like what angel already has.

So, after starting a new game to try the angelslogistics a bit in 0.15 i am wondering if i am not supposed to or to stupid to mine uranium ore. I tried bobs only and the ore mining works fine, but if i add angels i just can't get it working. Is it supposed to not work, as i can get uranium ore in different other ways or is something wrong ? What i can see is that there is slightly different writing, the acid on the ore is with lower case "A", the one acid itself is with upper case "A", as there seems to be a "liquid-sulfuric-acid" and a "sulfuric-acid", but i can't find out what is wrong. (running all bobs and agenls mods that are out for 0.15 + angels logistics and compomnents)

[Zyrconia]

There should be a simple bool option to remove all barreling recipes from the entire game though config. Fully optional and probably off by default.

Sorry if there already is and I haven't noticed.

Got the same issue, just convert the angel's acid in the vanilla acid with the converter-valve of the PetroChem mod. Works fine for me.

find bug

not technology in game
example codes in old game worked??

I'm currently using Petrochem assets in my Pharmaceutical Precursors mod:

Most production is now done in the Leafcooker and the Advanced Leafcooker (with sprites from your discarded work).

The remaining recipies are done in either Advanced Chemical Plants, Liquifiers or in Ore Crushers:

Liquifier Recipies:

Leaf washer (using Liquifier sprite graphics but in seperate prototype)
Coco leaves from wood (dummy production)
Ground coco leaves

This is all rather temporary and I want to make specific sprites for most or all of this.
I also want to get to some kind of alpha testing at some point and would like to make an anpha version available.
So I would need your permission to do that using the assets from your mods as listed above.

Can you grant permission?
You need further info?


A long term solution for some of the graphic needs for the mod would be to cheap down and dirty up some of your assets.
Would you be interested in doing that?
Would you let me do it based on the 4D assets (.obj)?

I want to be a bit pendantic about permissions both as a way of expressing my appreciation of your work and to satisfy my random urge towards pedantery.
