I recently downloaded a mass of mods just to have a completely new adventure to explore in Factorio.But after a little bit of time I found out something really bad, I cant find a way to find a way to progress to gain the ability to research.
In short:
To build a research facility I need 4 standard belts
To build belts I need Tin gears
To get tin gears I need to refine bobonium
To refine bobonium I need to research mechanical refining
BUT
To build a research facility I need 4 standard belts
To build belts I need Tin gears
To get tin gears I need to refine bobonium
To refine bobonium I need to research mechanical refining
as you can see it's impossible to progress this early ingame, since I don't know all the mods I installed I sadly cannot tell you which combination of mods does this...
id be really grateful if anyone could look into this and maybe even fix this whole problem.
a list of all the mods installed is attached

Re: Impossible start
However, you should have started with a burner crusher. Simply smelting crushed Bobmonium or Rubyte (can't remember which gave tin and which gave lead) should give tin plates.To build a research facility I need 4 standard belts (5dim_core)
To build belts I need Tin gears (5dim_ores)
To get tin gears I need to refine bobonium (angels refining)
To refine bobonium I need to research mechanical refining (angels refining)

Re: Impossible start
A burner crusher I already have, it just does not have the ability to crush Bobmonium or rubyte yet, for that i have to research firstHowever, you should have started with a burner crusher.

Re: Impossible start
This is 0.14 isnt it. Is there a reason you arent using 0.15? I dont know the involved mods well enough to point to a specific mod but updating might fix the issue.

Re: Impossible start
in 0.14 you had a tree that looked like this:
Therefore, there's a fork, and 5dim and Angels don't take each other's changes into account.
in 0.15 it looks more like this:
Each mod looks for certain things that they know the other changes, and makes an exception to force things to work. Except Bobrevamp, there's still certain things that break if you use that mod with Angels mods.
Code: Select all
Bobmods -> Angels
'-> 5Dim
in 0.15 it looks more like this:
Code: Select all
Bobmods -> Angels -> 5Dim -> Angels
'-> Bobrevamp
Re: Impossible start
Additionally each of the developers of this mods lost control over their own mod so all ends in a big pile of crushed omnimatter
