Where are levac fish and dorflurp jellyfish? I can't seem to find any in my world.

Try looking in a different biome. A filtered deconstruction planner is a quick way of checking a lake.

There's a problem with Tree III recipe, it can't be crafted with Arboretum nor any other machine.

When playing with the tech overall, the plants farming, exploration and components, it definitely expect you to go explore and find more "gardens", more ore patch, as the starter one usually aren't enough.

But there is no way to actually go explore, except walking it. By the time you are able to get any kind of vehicle, on green science, you don't need it anymore, as you already have everything needed to progress.

Feel likes it is pushing you to explore without giving any means to it, and just walk for 30min or more isn't that fun.

My suggestion, this is what I did in my currently run. Add some kind of vehicle that doesn't have any weapons, and modify the recipe and tech to be unlocked with the "Basic Exploration" science. I used the mod Lightcycle, where the first bike with very low hp, lower than default, so you can't just "run over trees and hit everything". That feel really good, good to explore, not op to just run cause you usually will die in 4 or 5 trees or one rock, and match the mod theme for exploration. This could be something added to "Angel's Exploration (ALPHA)"

I like the idea of some sort of bike early game. I created an issue for it such that we won't forget to implement it.

I found a problem on angels industries while playing with technology overhaul



the required lab for Puffer refugium 2 doesn't accept bio-token, which is required for research

This is fixed for the next release. FYI: the next release should come out later today!

There's a problem with Tree III recipe, it can't be crafted with Arboretum nor any other machine.

I can craft all recipes in the arboretum. Can you provide a save file where it is not possible for you?

Unfortunately not, I already finished the run. I was using omnifluid, maybe it was the cause? I haven't had any other problems though.

I recall omni having their own way of creating wood, that might be the cause... no matter what, have fun playing! Sorry for the delayed answer.

Hi and thanks for the crazy fun mods!

I've been playing a long term game with your mods for years on and off.
Recently came back to it and updated your wonderful modpack to latest versions.

I have one question about a specific recipe that has been modified.
Specifically the ammonium chloride recycling, it was changed from
OLD
ammonium chloride gas + limestone = calcium chloride + ammonia gas + purified water
TO
ammonium chloride (no longer a gas) + limestone = calcium chloride + ammonia gas + purified water

image:
https://gyazo.com/dddb8101df0cf70f1626abb7bc421421

I cannot find a recipe to make this non gazeous ammonium chloride.

Am I missing something? Did that recipe chain just got removed or should I add some kind of new mod tree that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance

That recipe is from Bob's Revamp mod. The latest update to Angel's Petrochem hid the recipe. You can see it in the chemical plant because it was already set before the update. If you clear the set recipe, you will no longer be able to pick it. This is deliberate

[Lochar]

I appear to have an issue with ferric chloride solution with Bob's Electronics and Petrochem. The blue circuit recipe wants the bob's electronics version and isn't overriden to be the Petrochem version.

Petrochem: 0.9.22
Bob's Electronics: 1.1.5

--Edit
It appears to be a failure if you don't have Bob's MCI turned on as a mod.

Is basic farm/bioprocessing having no recipes at the start intended ?

Yes, it's intended. You need to research one of the farming techs to unlock the recipes (desert, temperate, or swamp farming). A similar situation occurs with blast furnaces. You unlock them first, then need to research one of the smelting techs to unlock the first recipes (copper, iron, tin, lead smelting).

[Battlecat]

Hello! I'm just working through a modded game using Angels, AAI, Bob's, and a few other things with component mode enabled and ran into a weird issue. When planning out the block manufacturing lines, I noticed the Warefare, Exploration, and Logistics Blocks aren't used in any recipes other than the more advanced versions of the blocks.

I subsequently cleared all my mods except the current version of Angel's Mods and FNEI (so I chould check the recipies). As before, Warfare, Exploration, and Logistics weren't used in any recipes.

Given the whole component part of the Angel's Industries Mod is in Beta I just wanted to determine if those blocks haven't been implemented or if I've messed up my installation and should do a clean re-install of the mods. Thanks very much!

narrowed down to an issue with APM nuclear fork mod. idk a fix though.

I updated the game after not playing for about a year and now smelting seems broken? Previously, I would always get mechanical refining ASAP so I could convert iron ore to plates for efficiency, and then do the metallurgical fluids. However, FNEI reports that Iron Ore has no uses, and the only way to make plates, at all, is to use Crushed Stiratite => Iron Ore. No recipes are enabled out-of-the-box. What?

EDIT: I'm enabling mods one by one and it looks like something is actually changing the recipe somewhere, since just Angel's Smelting (and reqs) seems to work
EDIT 2: Looks like bobsplates was ruining things for some reason. You can ignore this post entirely, thanks.

Can you create a new game, save it, then upload that save file please? It's the best way of getting your exact mod list and settings.

Iron ore can't be smelted directly. It needs to be made into Iron Ingots and Molten Iron first.

[Danjen]

Iron ore can't be smelted directly

The early game production chain used to be:
Saphirite Ore => Crushed Saphirite => Iron Ore => Iron Plates

But it looks like that's been changed. This is pretty significant for me, since I often play marathon games with 5x researach. With these settings, it takes about 2-3 hours to research Mechanical Refining for the Ore Sorter, after which point I would go for the molten casting stuff (requires steel).

... But since I can't use the Iron Ore it makes yet, and now have to research steel before getting ANY efficiency upgrades, that change to the iron ore will probably add another 5 or 6 hours of playtime, which is pretty disappointing.

[mrvn]

For me, with Seablock but that doesn't seem to touch the recipes, smelting is more efficient without sorting:

2.25 saphirite -> 1.5 iron plates
2.67 saphirite -> sorting -> 1 iron plate, 0.5 copper plate
