Will we be seeing a 0.17 version from you at all?

Since I was helping MadClown a fair bit with his mods in the past, I've given them all a proper 0.17 update and will be submitting them to him to save him a few hours of time.

The issue however, is that Angel's Bioprocessing is a hard dependency so I had to update that to 0.17 as well to even get started. I won't be uploading MadClown's mods here until Angel has updated his bioprocessing mod. I can then make adjustments based on anything new that was added by Angel and upload them here if MadClown still isn't around to update them on the portal.

if you need any help and/or testing, just add me

Im not a coder because i lose track in the various folders pretty easily, i couldn´t create it. But given that I can read it and i have a fairly good eye for things missing, see ore thread or the military science thing here, i might be of some help.
If not coming home after a long night shift, i can even make sense of balance stuff :D
Anything i can do to help this, i will do, time permitted.

Noted.

I'm awaiting the official release of bioprocessing before moving forward. There are two critical bugs with Clown's Science that need working out, but the other mods seem to work just fine.

I've also contacted a few other mod developers to wrinkle out compatibility issues that have cropped up. It's then just a matter of updating the dependencies so nothing else conflicts and it should be ready for deployment.

I would like to test the update on my current 0.16.51 save when it hits.

Since you seem to have modding experience, I might need your assistance with the one bug that's mystifying me with Clown's Science. It keeps eluding me and my time isn't as abundant as I'd like to really stare it down.

Which is stupid, because yesterday it was working fine. This reminds me of why I quit modding games years ago.

I always wondered what the hell people were sharing names and numbers for, not just here but on other boards and websites as well. I had no idea it was a Discord account. Looks like I need to download it.

They're all in working order, just awaiting the release of Angel's Bioprocessing.

In the meantime, here's one oddity I can't figure out due to lack of experience in modding Factorio:

Image

The pink bottles down below are actually the green ones with the wrong icon, with the pink one up top being the real one. The ordering is wrong but I don't understand the lettering system that's being used to determine icon sorting. The icon colours are also not changing correctly either.

The likely conflict is due to the fact the pink bottles are named logistic science packs which is now also the name of green science in 0.17. Yet any attempt to change anything causes it to freak out (when it seems to be coded correctly) and I lack the patience to piss around with it more than I already have.

It does still work correctly despite these aesthetic issues, so I don't really care enough to correct it. MadClown knows his code best so I'll let him solve the problem when he returns, or I'll pass it on to someone who's far more familiar with Factorio modding to do it instead. (Newly made Discord ID is Light#6042)

the name has very little to do with it. its based on subgroup and order. this page explains it a bit viewtopic.php?t=24163

Sorting is complicated. Basically:
Group -> Subgroup -> Order (I think Linux sorting order). I always use Mod Developer Tools to get the ingame values and overwrite them with my fixes mod.
If they are wrong horizontally they are either in different subgroups or one subgroup was to long and Factorio inserted a "line break".
If they are wrong vertically they order value is wrong. IIRC you can imagine it like the sort command and thats how it gets displayed ingame.

Icon is probably just the icon wrong or the recoloring not correct.

You should care about aesthetics or I add the mod to my Mod of Shame and I send you a friend request on discord. If you are done I take a look over it and fix minor things but it could take me a week to get around doing it.

Clown was informed and will get around to it when he can.

The only issue is a visual bug as it's working fine otherwise, so he should be able to fix it rather quickly. I'll poke him again later.

Miltary science alternate recipes need rebalancing. The cost of a military pack has dropped by ALOT (swapping out a turret for 2 walls) and the replacement recipes are still based around needing a turret for the normal stuff. I used to use the shotgun version on occcasion (because it was lighter on iron), but now it is far worse than even the alternate logistic science recipe (which is strictly more expensive than the default).

I will have to take a look at that, I was only trying to get it functional to start with...

Well... this is fixed, and clown approved :D

now for the hard part... i think sir-cherry is a madman and wants to see the world burn. I can try to balance the mod with omnimatter, AAII and Kao (or bobs extended...) but that is asking too much having those settings...

I think kingarthur might have already done some of that for PyCoalTByAnA?

When does this mod get an update? Or is there a continued work of this? I need it for 0.18 / 1.0
