There is a '!' before dark-matter-replicators because it is not allowed while Space Exploration is active. Those are conflicts, not dependencies!

[doktorstick]

I have a suggestion re: robot attrition. Personally, I'm playing with the defaults, and as I understand it, you added it so exploration to other moons/planets didn't immediately turn into bot-bases.

My suggestion is this: add gravity to moons and planets. Nauvis is the baseline; no attrition. Bodies with higher gravity than Nauvis have a proportional (if not exponential) attrition rate; bodies w/ lower gravity than Nauvis do not have an attrition. Then, randomly weight higher metalicity toward higher gravity; the more mineral rich planets will have have higher bot-attrition. Or heck, planets with an overly strong magnetosphere prevent bots altogether.

In this way, it gives the player incentive to search for more bodies and gives them some playstyle choices and a mix of bot v. non-bot planets. Of course, you'll have to present a body's stats so they can make informed decisions.

Well, I mean, they work together? but some of the recipes are not? what for realism?

ну тоесть они работают совместно? но часть рецептов нет? что бы для реализма?

Hello Earendel,
a thought came across my mind: As I looked over your roadmap, mod content already implemented, and thoughts around thread, I would like to ask you if you have a plan for "goal" of your mod? In vanilla sandbox, it is launching a rocket. Thats around entry point to your mod I always had as a final goal of modded game finishing SpaceX faster-than-light engine.
SpaceX is unfortunately incompatible with your mod right now. Is that intended, or is it a bug that will be removed? (I think its the same bug as written in replay above, cyklic tech tree).
Even as it is a bug and those two mods are planned to be playable together, I would like to ask you if you have thought about it. Since the scale and ideas of this mod are nothing like I have ever seen, I would suggest you give it a thought. I have already a proposition, for example, finding your home again, navigate there and fly there. For that regard, there could be new navigational system (through gravitational waves perhaps?) and maybe even new engine, something such as Einstein-Rosen bridge creator (did you seen Event Horizon?? ), since you already have antimatter and other hi-sci-fi stuff
Regards, Delanii
PS: I also would like to report, that PyMods are all compatible with your mods already, also combined with AAI, MadClown, Amators, Yuoki and others. Thank you very much!

Windy planets will have higher attrition rates. I have not decided how to show that information to the player yet.

Thanks for the compatibility update.

If SpaceX and Space Exploration can co exist in a way that makes sense then I will do some compatibility work for that. I don't know that much about SpaceX I think a lot of what you are doing is research (which is fine), and launching components into space, which would be weird if they are spaceship parts but the spaceship is not visible in orbit. So a lot of the work would be to make what were just items in SpaceX into placeable entities in Space Exploration. In other words 'make it real'.

In terms of an end goal, my current plan is for you to have to energy beam structures in close orbit of roughly 20 different stars and a special structure like the rings from Contact in the anomaly. Until that is implemented the achievements I have planned can act as a guide of things to aim for.

Here is the current WIP achievement list in no particular order:

• Eye in the sky: launch a satellite.
• Rocketman: launch yourself into space with a rocket.
• Spaceman: launch into space with a spaceship.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I understand adding placeable entities would be big chunk of work. Eventhough it would be great to see, if it is my place to do so, I agree its not fitting to invest time in it. I have to see that movie with those rings, that sounds very interesting. If I understood you correctly, what will be the purpose of the structures beamed to stars? Or will they be forming the ring you wrote about?
On my personal side, I am not much interested in various achievements, I prefer to have to "build" something, but if you think it is interesting feature, ok.

we by the way will solve the problem with the download? I am ready to help also in the test.

[Solinya]

It would help to have a clear outline of how you'd like the player/planet distribution to work. The intention of different planets for players was mainly for PVP, different enemy teams could start on a different planets. It sounds like you'd want it to potentially be more cooperative.

Would you want to put every player on a different planet?

Would would every player be on their own force?

Each player starting planet would be around a different star to make it fair, but that would limit it to 30 starting planets max, is that enough?

Are starting planets around different stars too far away?

If you'd like to help the most helpful thing would be to join my discord and sign up for the tester role so you can participate in multiplayer testing. The biggest struggle I have is finding players to jump onto a test game for a few minutes so I can test a specific multiplayer feature or bug (like desync issues).

I'm in a different group that plays together and we've been following along the developments in this thread. We're a small group (low single digits) that plays co-op. Lately we've been playing oarc's separate spawners (each player on the team spawns ~200-300 chunks away from other players) and it's been a blast.

I think an option for players on the same team to spawn on different planets would be neat. Making it an option allows for people to go with the standard shared bases (probably by default), especially since this would take far longer before separate-spawn players could meet up than with oarc where you can just build a rail line.

[Durabys]

Important question: Are the planets map size limited?

[Ranakastrasz]

Important question: Are the planets map size limited?

Well, the moons are. I haven't observed the edge of an actual planet yet. But since Earendel claims they are, I am reasonably certain they are

[catma]

There should be a mod compatibility/incompatibility list somewhere with the mod?

For instance, I don't know if "Angel's Bio Processing [BETA]" breaks the alien biome thingies or vice versa.

(also some players crave angel+bob+space exploration and want to know if it's "winnable by getting all tech and achievements" in theory, or has a known limit ---- BEFORE they sink 500 hours into it)

P.S.: and I mean "listed on the mod" not "asked and answered fragments sprinkled on some forum threads split between factorio forums, discord, a reddit thread, and some other places --- none of which mention versions so the info may be out of date and misleading".

This is already a known incompatibility. I think we have to wait for such compatibility patches, because I can imagine that his first goal is to eliminate the internal "bugs" and later investigate into the compatibility issues ... that's how I would prioritize.

I've already sank 140 hours into a mod combo that breaks the endgame, and both devs knew about this for a long time and nothing was visible on the mods themselves --- or the official forums, as they'd expect me to google other forums and look at code comments in attached files to know mod 1 requires X and mod 2 requires the absence of X.

Then I sank 85 hours into ANOTHER such combo where I had checked the googlable forums (including one in french) AND the attached files. Both devs knew, but told no one.

I'm hoping to AT LEAST get a warning if bob or angel is known to be compatible / known to be incompatible with a mod. Not just "it loads correctly" but "it doesn't always crash half-endgame" when the modder already knows about that.

P.S.: this is NOT about fixing the incompatibilities, but about warnings!!

[Deadlock989]

First world problems ...

[orzelek]

I think that for the time being the WIP part and initial warning about sticking only to recommended mods might need bigger letters.
And start up message should repeat that in same big letters. Especially if it finds a lot of other mods around

Then you should love that I put a warning in the thread title, the mod short description, the mod long description, and last but not least a great big popup warning when you start the game.
