I found this post. If this is easy to fix, can you explain a little more? Where are these lines. FNEI and Helmod mods have the same problems. Maybe I can fix a few lines myself?

Thanks for the quick update.

Thanks for the quick update.

you're basically looking for an entry of type = "custom-input", and then need to change the line consuming to wither "all" or "none" as it says in that topic.

In both effected bob's mods, these were in the file data.lua, in other mods, they could pretty much be in any .lua file. If it's not in data.lua itself, look at the files listed in the require lines.

[Well]

Thanks a lot. Everything worked. It's really very simple.

I'd filter it to *.lua, the program I use to do things like this will mess up png files and the like if the data just so happens to have a string of bytes that form the same data as the words you're searching for.

Neither of those inputs fixed it for me

Technically, "all" should become "game-only", as there's a functional difference between that and none. (though, if those are the only two options now, shouldn't it be more of a true/false option than "game-only" and "none"?)

game-only overrides base game functionality of a button, none does not.


But it's a good addition to the mod's list.

[steinio]

None does nothing to the game but fixes the mods. I will not check if the fix makes sense for the mod devs.

Bought as seen.

Is there not an option to disable the different barreling recipes? I would like to only have barrels.

Is there not an option to disable the different barreling recipes? I would like to only have barrels.

Currently, there is no option for that, but other people have mentioned it as an issue previously, so I do have a note to look into that already.

Removing the canister for ferric chloride and fuel should be easy enough because that's just an override in bobplates (MCI) to change the graphics and item used, but the bottles are a bit harder, they use a custom version of the auto-barrel script, half-hardcoded in the library mod. I'd either need to re-write it, or do the opposite of what I do with the canisters, over-write their crafting category, graphics and items after they've been created.

[bobingabout]

Just a small update to classes. The GUI didn't look right after the 0.18.27 update, so I made a few changes to it.

Changed table style to fix spacing issues with 0.18.27 update.
Added a check to make sure the global table for a player exists in the on_init (and on_configuration_changed) function.
Added information about the current character to the Avatar GUI.

[bobingabout]

I'm calling this release the GUI overhaul.
While cleaning up the inserters mod I was able to simplify things enough to make adding the requested "Rotate the inserter drop location" hotkey easy, so I finally added it.

Code: Select all

Clock 0.18.1:
Internal changes to improve performance. (up to a 400% speed improvement)

Added an Admin panel to the Clock window that lets you change time related things in the game.

Inserters 0.18.4:
Updated header/button filler styles
GUI Style update for 0.18.27
Added inserter preview window to the center GUI.
Updated locale method to display inserter name correctly.

Added Drop position rotation key combination CTRL + Shift + R as default. (Made possible by the internal restructure)

[bobingabout]

Updates are slow right now because I'm playing Satisfactory instead of modding.

Having said that, Factorio version 0.18.32 was released today, so... here's a small update.

Code: Select all

Modules 0.18.4:
Fixed beacon fast_replaceable_group and next_upgrade (To fix the upgrade planner)
Updated for Factorio 0.18.32

Removed the word GUI from the clock window name

Thank you so much for the clock. I did have a wishlist-y thing: it'd be great to be able to have an icon for the, uh, "type of time of day" -- dark, sunset, dusk, etc -- as well as the time. Nicer still if that could show along with whatever info was displayed, even if it isn't the in-game time-of-day clock.

I'm sure this has been asked many times, but recently, it seems as though the water pump recipes have been disabled and the option for using them in the mod settings menu has disappeared, despite still being in the code. I have Angel's, AAI, as well as a few others. Does anyone know what popular mod does this, or if not, if there's a way for me to find out easily? Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like it's an Angels' Refining thing to hide the setting.

[bobingabout]

Library 0.18.10:
Added a few more safety checks to Technology prerequisites.
Technology functions now take difficulty into account.
Added function versions for editing a specific difficulty.

[CharonM72]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but what are the plans for 1.0? And is there a timeframe for when Bob's mods will be fully ready to use with 1.0?

I've been abstaining on Factorio until 1.0 and I plan to dive in headfirst with a Bob's+Angel's campaign.
