Compatibility Help - (5dim_resources & bobassembly)

[cryforce]

I've been playing Bob's Mods and 5dim's mods in a playthrough however I wanted to update to the latest version of Factorio. But I'm having problems with the newest versions of the mods with 5dim_resources & bobassembly
If anyone could help me maybe find a workaround I would be grateful.

(Also if anyone has some cool mods to add to this pack I would be very interested. I haven't played in a while and I'm looking to get back into it with a big pack)

the issue is those 2 mods are having is the electric furnace isnt setup with the same fast replace group because im guessing both bob and 5dim edited the electric furnaces and possibly both have a mk2 version they tried to add. would need to remove one of them or manually set the fast replace group to be the same as the mark 1.

if need be i can be more specific on how to to do it or i can take a look and send you an edited zip of them if you prefer

I think I got it working by going into the mods settings as bob assembly has an option to disable its furnaces which were causing the issue. but I would love to understand how the mods were impacting each other as I want to learn how factorio mods work. It looks really interesting to learn, if you could show me which parts were stopping them from working it would be great.

(I'm very new to factorio but I have a general understanding of the variables and functions as I've got some scripting skills from arma 3 and unreal)

ok so if you look in both mods go into the prototypes folder and in 5dims you will see a electric furnace 2 lua file and at the very bottom of the file before the closing brackets is the line:

Code: Select all

fast_replaceable_group = "electric-furnace"

now in bob prototypes folder you see a file called electric furnace and on line 188 you find:

Code: Select all

 fast_replaceable_group = "furnace"

now you'll notice these 2 lines are not the same and factorio requires them to be for things like the upgrade planner
