[MOD 1.1] Xander Mod v3.6.1

[Ragu]

what is difference between pressurized and basic storage tank? as i see they both have 25K storage

[Prome3us]

I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to pump natural gas. It won't work for me with pumpjacks.

I finally got to the point where I'm only hand delivering stuff part-time, so calling blue science semi-automated. Hydrogen is still a choke point atm, so I thought I'd start up gas production for some extra chemfuel and H2. I've also run into this problem, not being able to place pumpjack 1's on natural gas wells. Is this intended behaviour, am I missing something too, or is it supposed to only be possible after pumpjack 2 (purple science) research?

If i had to guess I would say transfer speed?

I think it's pumpjack 2 research, which has purple science. It has quite a bit of tier 3 stuff in the recipe, so maybe natural gas refining should be in the purple science tree as well...

Thanks a ton for the reply khadgarion, would have hated to give up at this point hehe. On with the madness!!

[Kungeal]

I'll be finish this mod in about 20 hours as the final research is being conducted.
to join my game you'll need xandermod 2 both mod packs and therax hotfix
also i think khad has a hotfix too which i'm asking him to update so i can make the final ingredient for the rocket.
so just under 700 hours to complete for the world record

[Repofme1]

Wow. I am quite impressed that people continued to persevere or so long through such a balance- and advancement-broken mod as XM.

My hiatus is still in effect, and I will not be present on the forums much, but I am looking at the mod again.


Gears are turning . . .

Hey, nice to see you back

[Ranakastrasz]

Is there a fix for the localization issues? I tried installing several of the fix mods, but none of them did so.

Spent around an hour trying it out. Already looks pretty awesome, and less of a "Like vanilla but way more complex" than Angelbobs, plus is slow enough that I think I can work my way up it.

There were some fixes and changes on github from summer, but it was not released
You can try it from here:

Will try that.

Also, Not sure if it was just bad luck, but I started with minimal coal, and reading other posts, this is uncommon. Is there a recommended resource spawn setting?

I used RSO and it was fine. Vanilla resource gen seems to be a bit too random.
Coal is pretty important early, because you'll need a ton of coke, but it also has higher fuel values compared to vanilla

Hello Repofme1,
I am happy to hear that you are back in developing this mod. I like its touch of reality and a lot of its ideas.
For making this mod compatible with other mods, I am considering creating a compatibility mod. Would you be interested in this, helping me make this happen, maybe giving me some consultations, insight of your code?
For instance, first issue I bumped into is, that you "nilified" all atributes of rocket fuel (from base mod). Why is that? Would you consider reverting this?
Regards, Delanii

Please compartible in angel refining
and bob inserters , ans basemod

[McMaster]

I am using "Side inserters" instead of bob's.

production.lua:
"electric-energy-accumulators-1" to "electric-energy-accumulators" rename in Xander's code to compatibility 0.17.23 and later.

raw-refining.lua:
data.raw.recipe["air-distillation-a"].energy_required = data.raw.recipe["air-distillation-a"].energy_required / 10
data.raw.recipe["air-distillation-b"].energy_required = data.raw.recipe["air-distillation-b"].energy_required / 10

science.lua:
data.raw.recipe["chemical-science-pack"].ingredients = {{"advanced-circuit", 1}, {"transformer-1", 1}, {"engine-unit", 1}, {"electric-mining-drill", 1}}

I am just do manually corrections for some of problems discussed in this topic and Xander works fine.

P.S. "bobores" - Xander itself has so many ores and tough refining. With "bobores" things just do gone crazy.
I turned off all bob's and angel's mods because Xander is another way to game play.

Hello McMaster,
seems you have pretty good orientation in Xander mod. I am trying to find all the resources in this mod to make it compatible with Omnimatter, but I am having trouble to find the file in which is information about skarn, evaporites and such. I only found iron, copper, coal and uranium (as theyre extended from base, then updated in terms of few atributes).
Do you know how does it work? I am even failing at finding them in autoplace-control.. :/
Thank you very much for an help, regards Delanii

[McMaster]

Skarn Type Ore , Evaporite Salts , it is from Xander 2.1.1 for 0.16
In xander-mod-v1 resources in ore.lua
Xander 2.1.1 only have 1-5-1_2-0-0.json file in migrations, strange
xander-mod-v1 is only xander working in 0.17 now.
Original xander author our last hope.

[Therax]

I have a version of XM 2.1.1 that’s running on 0.17, and will be releasing it as a fork with Repofme1’s permission. I expect it to be buggy, so bear with me. XM is what inspired me to write mods of my own, so definitely want to see it live on!

Thats great news sir!

[BroMasterFlex]

I got it to work as long as I have the RSO mod installed with it. I ran into and fixed some issues. Then, I submitted a pull request to the update_0_17 branch that jodokus31 made.

[Therax]

Xander Mod (Therax) is now available on the mod portal. Most of the changes from tip-of-trunk are incorporated.

Things that work:

• ore generation
• mining times adjusted for default iron axe
• assembler ingredient limits removed

Things that I know don't work yet:

• 0.17 graphics updates (e.g. highres solar panels and new belt graphics)
• axe research for XM materials
• advanced processing units should require a VLSI CPU, but don't
• science pack research

Please give it a try. I have lots of other plans, but wanted to get something released.
