[MOD 0.17] Industrial Revolution

[Bilka]

I've been wrecking everything with defender bots from steel onwards.

[Deadlock989]

Dang nab it! I've been trying to avoid turret creep cheese, but if personal and vehicle weapons are that badly nerfed...

No weapon was nerfed except rocket and tank cannon fire rates which were restored to vanilla default. The science packs required, their technology costs, the prerequisite chains were reworked. The weapons themselves weren't touched.

Hello , If I may ask why did you remove the firing speed and damage upgrades for the tank?

Damage upgrades were not removed. The rate of fire technologies were just clutter and overpowered.

I wanted again say thanks for this mod.....

Now i have some space - and decided not to do the math, but do it street-wise......

Here is my 'how are the ratios'

It seems one need pumps by every orewashing but hey

You need one water filter per 4 ore washers. They work fine without pumps provided you use a buffer tank and a top-up valve to feed in the needed water. In larger setups you might have to use a pump to limit water refill to 50% or less or there isn't enough differential between the ore washers and water filter.

A 4 washer setup might also work without tank if you top up the water at the filter, ideally on the other side of the washers. But I found that the water consumption causes low spikes where water is refilled and the next tick the water filter wants to output it's water and the pipe gets full. A buffer tank smoothes that out.

Damage upgrades were not removed.

Before the update explosive shells wth 6 upgrades used to inflict 180+396 physical 300+660 explosive damage
And now they only inflict 180 physycal and 300 explosive . And I've got all of the explosive damage upgrades.
And if you check the information on the "Stronger explosives" upgrade it reads :
-Rocket damage ...%
-Land mine damage: ...%
-Grenade damage: ...%

There is no damage upgrade for the cannon shells , could it be that you forgot to include it?

Hello Deadlock,

i have noticed that sensor-recipe is also changed (copper wire -> copper plate) is this intentional ?
If so i need to fix my spaghetti to accomodate this new flavor

[shrubberyrobbery]

Deadlock, this is just to give a massive thanks for the mod. It is an absolute masterwork which transforms the game. I'm under no illusions as to the colossal amount of blood sweat and tears gone in to make it and see it through to a state of sane completion. What can I say, it's blinking brilliant.

[Yubilei]

Hi,

thanks for the great mod! I noticed you added iron age filter inserters in the latest patch. Building them is just fine but if I pick one up after placing it, I just get a normal yellow inserter back instead of a filter inserter. I doubt this is intended behavior?

I dont have other mods than IR 1.0.7 and DeadlockLargerLamp 1.3.0 installed.

Cheers!

There is no damage upgrade for the cannon shells , could it be that you forgot to include it?

Huh. In my head, cannon shells were covered in vanilla by Stronger Explosives research, like rockets are. I now see that instead they are tacked on to late Physical Projectile Damage research. So yes, 1.0.7 is missing cannon shell damage upgrades. I am not sure of the best way to tackle this, I will probably just revert Stronger Explosives to the way it was before (or similar).

Yes, it's intentional, see change log.

No, it is not, will be fixed in the next version.

You're most welcome.

Deadlock, thank you for this great mod.

As someone else mentioned above I was noticing the change from iron age filter inserter to yellow inserter when picking them up.
I also noticed that I can only upgrade/downgrade the iron age filter inserters to purple inserters and vice versa and nothing else.

Is this something you are planning for a future update as well?

Hi, many thanks @Deadlock, I am absolutely loving your modpack and the direction it is taking.
However after reaching space age and infinite researches, I find myself with large excess of chromium and titanium that I have no idea what to do with. Right now I have absolutely no reason to use the advanced ore washing recipes, as it would produce even more of these 'precious' materials, I already have enough lead, gems and way too much chromium/titanium. I noticed in a previous changelog you reduced chromium costs by 80%, what was the reason behind this ? Am I missing something ?
Does anyone else have this problem ?

Again, big kudos to this awesome mod, keep up the good work!

[nosports]

So hello,

i am not in space age and therefore i don't know if i need this cormium pile of mine (currently reaching 3000k)

My suggestions :

As for the Titanium i would add an additional titanium wall and weaken the steel wall a little bit for the Titanium.....

If the crom surges will appear how about slipping a little crome to the duranium recipe.
Nothing wrong about some tracematerials in some high tech materials....

[Deadlock989]

If you don't want a chromium or titanium stockpile, don't make one.

There are not going to be any further changes to the mod from now on, it's in maintenance/bugfix mode only.

Version: 1.0.8
Date: 27. 11. 2019
Tweaks:
- Turrets now show their resistances in tooltips.
Fixes:
- Fixed an error on load if a long-handed or filter inserter entity created by some other mod had no matching item.
- Fixed that deconstructing an orange filter inserter returned a yellow inserter.
- Fixed missing colour masks from logistic depot entity icons (i.e. in upgrade planner).
- Restored missing tank cannon shell damage upgrades to Stronger Explosives 3+ research.

May I ask what is the purpose of advanced ore washing recipes then ? Since normal ones already produce too much byproducts.
That kinda took away my motivation to keep playing endgame and refactor my factory to be honest...

[Bilka]

Getting more byproducts if you need them. If you don't need the byproducts, don't use washing. That way you can balance your ore production with circuits etc to produce exactly what you need.

Since science requires so little chromium/titanium, I wonder in what cases you would need to extra produce these byproducts, but I may be wrong. Also the long term cost of military (ammo mostly) doesn't require any of them.

[Bilka]

I was short on Chromium when I was mass-producing Photonic cannons and not doing science. I could see the same happening with titanium heavy things, especially later when you don't use steel based satellites anymore.

[sonaxaton]

I'm playing with Krastorio and noticed that the Reinforced Gates have the same health (500) as the normal Gates (500) that I'm assuming IR buffs. Could IR also buff the Krastorio gates to have more health than the normal ones?
