Clay brick

[DiakonRu]

Hey. In the ANGEL SMELTING fashion, the cement recipe is blocked and, as a result, the possibility of producing clay bricks, and without it the further development of production is simply impossible. What to do with it?

Cement processing 1 should depend on Washing 1.

This looks like a compatiblity issue with mods. Can you post a list of all the mods that you use, with version numbers?

[DiakonRu]

The fact is that I disabled all the mods, then I started to turn on the angel mods sequentially and load the saved game. Until the moment when Smelting was enabled, the clay brick recipe itself was not in the game. After enabling Smelting, the recipe appears immediately blocked!

Angel's Smelting has hard dependencies on Angel's Refining and Angel's Petrochem.
Washing is from Refining. Cement processing is from Smelting.

Sounds like you loaded your game with Smelting but without Refining. Am I right about this?

If yes: This is not supported, as far as I know.
When you activate Angel's Smelting in the mod manager, it also activates Angel's Refining and Petrochem. In order to not load Refining, you have to manually disable it again, either in the mod manager or while loading a save. However, in the mod manager Angel's Smelting will be highlighted in red because its dependencies are not met. Is that what you mean by "turn on the angel mods sequentially"?

If Smelting, Refining, and Petrochem are all present in you game, please provide a full list of all mods and their versions. Maybe even a save file we could sync to, because then it might be a bug.

Yes, I have all the angel mods you specified installed (the latest versions for 0.18) and running. I can attach a save file

No, when connecting angel mods sequentially (and checking each time by uploading a save file), nothing is marked in red, everything works.

First of all: When loading your save I get a warning in red, saying I don't have Space Exploration installed. But your save does not use Space Exploration. Only its graphics. Why exactly? Is that a side effect of you trying to figure out what is happening, and originally, you intended to play with Space Exploration?

Anyway:
I can confirm that when I sync to your save and load it, the technology "Washing 1" does not exist. However, when I then just exit the game and start a new one with the same mods and the same settings, "Washing 1" does exist and is a prerequisite to "Cement Processing 1", as can be seen in the screenshot:

This feels like a migration issue, because "Washing 1" is available when I forcibly reset the status of the player's force in your save via

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.reset()

However, this resets all research, making it not desirable as a solution for this issue. There must be a way to properly fix this via the Lua console. However, I am really not apt in doing any of that kind of stuff. Maybe one of the devs of Angel's mods can give a comment on what is happening, and how to fix it.

Could be due to it being broken in an older version, which should be fixed already...

You could try this command to unlock it

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.technologies['water-washing-1'].enabled=true

Or if you want to research it at once

Code: Select all

/c game.player.force.technologies['water-washing-1'].researched=true

And similar for the other researches that could be missing (water-washing-2).

I'll have a look at your save file when it's not so hot outside/inside to see what's wrong with the migration, since valnec said, it's not an issue on a new map.

1. Yes! I have exactly the same result - when loading a new game on the same map with the same mods and with the same settings, "Washing 1" is available. But when uploading a save file, it is not available again. 2. Space Exploration I wanted to use, but there was some conflict and I disabled this mod.

Thanks. But can you tell us in which file you want to make these changes?

[valneq]

The mod files are all ok, which is why a new game is fine. Your save file has a problem.

These lines go into the Chat/Lua console of Factorio while the problematic map is running.
How to use the console:
https://wiki.factorio.com/Console#Using_the_console

This will deactivate achievements. Therefore, the game will ask you to type the command twice.

As mentioned on github, I've put in a migration fix for the next release of refining and tested it on the save file you've provided.
