Im really new to angels & bobs. So I apologise if this is a silly question but I cant seem to find any use for cellulose paste?

Cellulose paste is used in the production chains for modules and alien science.
These production chains may be relying on the presence of some of Bob's mods: I believe you will need Bob's modules, Bob's enemies, and Bob's Tech for these production chains to be available.

Furthermore, there were changes to these production chains in the recent months.

Which versions of Factorio, and which of Angel's and Bob's mods do you use?

By the way: some helper mods like "FNEI", "What is it really used for", or "Helmod" are very convenient to figure out how specific production chains work.

I think I have all of bobs and angels (i do have those bobs mods), way too many to list, im currently on factorio 18.12

But I will give those mods a go, thank you for the reply!

Hi Guys,
Im really new to angels & bobs. So I apologise if this is a silly question but I cant seem to find any use for cellulose paste?

I have done a bunch of searching and im wondering if its just a left over recipe from older versions and so its no longer used?

Again sorry im super new to these mods!

Cheers,
Dan

I think it is located in the bio processing nauvis tab next to the algae recipes.

Hi guys, is it okay that stone wall requires 5 x "Construction Blocks 2" ? Seems too expensive for me. pic
I saw in changelog that "Automation 1" research was fixed but for me it is 64 red analyzers and 128 blue datacores, which takes forever by hand (and automating it with coal/steam seems futule for me) pic
I am asking because I have alot of other mods installed, and if the above is not correct then it's my fault for mixing them.

After upgrading to the latest Angel's mods today (which updated smelting, refining, petrochem, industries and bioprocessing), my save is now in a state where I can't research 'Rocket Silo'. FWIW, when the upgrade happened I think I was actually researching that tech. Now, though, when looking through the tech tree, it looks like all prerequisites are researched, but the tech itself is still red.

Did I trigger a corner case in the migration code?

Save file: https://gofile.io/?c=bBzSNt

I've used console commands to enable the rocket-silo tech, only to discover that I have no recipe to make rocket fuel.

Am I the only one with this problem?

No you are not. This is fixed in the next release that will come tomorrow morning (aka in max 12 ish hours)
If you want to fix it directly you can use the following commands:

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.technologies["rocket-fuel"].researched = true
/c game.player.force.technologies["rocket-fuel"].researched = false

I've just updated to the latest Angel's mods that were released today, and the problem remains. No tech to research, no recipe to make rocket-fuel. That is, even FNEI doesn't think there's a recipe, not even one locked behind some research.

Luckily, your commands did help!

Thanks!

And keep up the good work with these great mods!

I just realized that when I hover over the alien plant life sample in a lab, I see

Unknown key: "description:science-pack-remaining-amount"

From looking at the locale files, I believe you should display the string "description:science-pack-remaining-amount-key" at this point.

Hi guys, is it okay that stone wall requires 5 x "Construction Blocks 2" ? Seems too expensive for me. pic

This is indeed excessive, i'll turn it down to 1 construction block 2, instead of 5. Fixed for the next release of industries.

The initial assembling machine should unlock right before red science. In your case, you're playing with the steam assembler, this is the steam assembler. Once you have red science you can update it to the electric version. If you don't want to play with the steam assembler, you should disable it in your settings, then you'll have the electric assembler with grey science, as I mentioned in that previous post.

Thanks for the report, it is fixed for the next release of bio processing.

Oooh, I got it, thanks for explaining.

Hi,

Angel's Petro Chemical Processing returns an error when only Angel's Refining, Angel's Smelting and Angel's Petro Chemical Processing are on: "fast_replaceable_group must be set when next_upgrade is set".
I don't seem to be missing any mandatory dependencies so I don't really know what to do from here.

This was already reported and fixed for the next release. A hotfix you can do in the meantime is mentioned in this reply.

Thanks for the quick reply! However sadly this didn't change anything for me.
I put the "data.raw["fluid"]["pure-water"].hidden = true" in the if condition but I still get the error. And it makes sense since all of this is in a 'not angelsmods.trigger.enableconverter and mods.bobplates' condition so it should be ignored since I'm not using any Bob's mod.
From what I played around with, the issue seems to come from the lines ~180 of the petrochem-override lua file.

Code: Select all

  if angelsmods.industries and angelsmods.industries.overhaul then
  data.raw["assembling-machine"]["chemical-plant"].fast_replaceable_group = "chemical-plant"
  data.raw["assembling-machine"]["oil-refinery"].fast_replaceable_group = "oil-refinery"

I don't really know much about it but here's what I tried:
- Enabling Angel's industries, still did not load
- Enabling Angel's industries and removing the 'angelsmods.industries.overhaul' condition, did load
- Disabling Angel's industries and putting 'data.raw["assembling-machine"]["oil-refinery"].fast_replaceable_group = "oil-refinery"' before the if condition, did load
However I have no idea if that breaks something else.

Weird error, must be something left in the data from the previous error fix. Updating the mod to the newest version will clean out the data structure and reset it. Progress won't be lost.

Thanks for the report. This was a dumb error on our end. It is fixed (once again) for the next release. You can do these changed for yourself in the meantime. Basically replace angels version of tin to bobs version of tin.

This is awesome mod and keep it up.

And keep up the good work with these great mods!

For unknown reasons it came to my attention that this fix is not present in the current release, somehow it is there on the dev branch... I've re-opened the issue on github and i'll fix it once again for the next release...
