Right now I'm stuck with "It will be impossible to develop flight technology from scratch. It is crucial to recover the robotic core unit in the wreckage of the ship where important plans are stored. Researching scan technology may help finding it."
What exatly I'm needed to do it?
Game time: 40h, Evolution Factor - 80% (almost).
I hope that this receal Glados, as, well, Bots would be more than helpfull...
Scan for the next wreckage.
This needs scouting more far out or place more radars in unrevealed territory.

If can research shipwreck scan too. It will locate the wreck

This is some technology? Hm...
You mean "Signal Scaner Radar 1"? Have it for a long time, I think.
But nevermind, already found it. Now I need to found the others, but, well, bots will help with it. :)

This looks absolutely brilliant, and was just wondering about compatibility with Angel and Bob's mods? I've seen other people mention they're using them, but the info.json file doesn't seem to mention them either way.

Thanks in advance for what I'm sure will be an awesome playthrough!

I'm playing with Bob/Angel and this mod (and few others), and for now it works. I'm at researching Freeman.
Also, question: where do I need to take Glados and 1 ConBot? To her ship, my ship? Some other ship?

Guys
I don´t know if it will work with complete bobs + angels ...

But if you find some problem, tell me, so i can try to make it compatible, if possible.
For example, MSI will require some itens for some quests.. If bobs / angels disable there itens, there may be a problem. Just let me know if that happens.

Bug reporting time! Some of these may be working as intended, but I'm reporting them just in case they're bugs:
Possible bugs encountered
Thank you again for what's proving to be an excellent mod. This sort of story-oriented play is something Factorio has really needed, and MSI is feeling very polished!

I'm really enjoying MSI; I hope you don't mind me giving more feedback, especially on what I'm finding to be enjoying the most.

Thanks for your feedback. Good to know you are enjoying those crazy ideas. :D
I agree that text should be more clear. But that needs coding... And I´m lazy. Hehehe
There are 3 situations to track this wreck...

You better invest in military techs. You'll need it =)

The starting wrecks may fall on water. What is important is that we are alive :P
That would be great if I other wrecks (military) could only fall on eath. I will check the code.
I´ll see if I can re-rol debris falling if on water

Thanks for this.
Fixed typos for the next version.

To her Ship
Hm. Okay. I'm with Glados-bot and few ConBots mk1 near her ship, nothing happens.
I insert her and 8 ConBots mk1 inside her ship, nothing happens.
Hm.

I don't suppose you're using github at all? I'd be very happy to send in typo fixes and modest coding suggestions as pull requests.

Never used github. How does it work ? And how to release mod versions with github ?

If you're new to git, then https://try.github.io/ is a really good place to start. There's a bit of a learning curve, but git is pretty amazing in terms of what it can do as a change-management system, and for allowing multiple folks to work on code at the same time. I use git to manage my Factorio installs, so I've got branches for each of my various games (MSI, Sea Block, etc), as well as tags for vanilla factorio releases. It's incredibly handy if an updated mod breaks things and I want to roll-back to a previous state.

With regards to releasing mod versions with github, it's a little more tricky, but wonderful once you get them running. I usually use https://travis-ci.com/ to watch for release tags in git, and then build and upload the appropriate zip file that's generated from a build-script or makefile. It's also something I'm totally happy to help with, since I do release and software automation engineering as a job. If you want an example then here is the code used to automatically deploy releases for RP-0 (a career mode for Kerbal Space Program), which simply looks for a file matching 'RP-0-*.zip' and uploads it to github 'releases' (which show up here).

Edit: If you want to use git to automatically push releases to the Factorio mod portal, then that will depend a little on if they have a documented API for doing so. I've only used their manual upload.

Hello guys!

I'm having a problem. I can't find the research item for scanning radar at all. It's just missing from my technology list.

Any idea why? See the attachment.

Thank you.

Update to this. I checked and the technology is there in 0.16.36 version, but not in 0.16.41.
