[MOD 1.1] Sea Block Pack 0.5.16

[KiwiHawk]

We are having some issues with compatibility with an older beacon mod. (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/beacon-overhaul)

I've added this to my list, thanks!

Is it intended that in red science, the very first one, the only way to get lead is by sorting rubyte ore to lead ore. Issue is that it gives nickel ore as well, but nickel has no uses whatsoever until in green science. Can't even process it, so all that can be done is stockpile it somewhere in a warehouse.

Running the complete modpack minus KS power.

That's correct. It basically means, you should get direct lead sorting asap. The nickel output is not more than an iron chest, if you beeline that.

The mod list has a conflict between required mods. Bob's inserters no longer exists and is replaced by Bob's adjustable inserters. When i try to load this mod and the ScienceCostTweakerM mod i get this error (coppied in text since i cant get a screenshot to work)

ERROR LOADING MODS
Failed to load mods: Error in assignID: recipie with name 'lab-module' doesnt exist.
Source: sct-lab-modules (technology)

Mods to be disabled:
*ScienceCostTweakerM

what can i do to salvage this?

The error is caused by Science Cost Tweaker. Sea Block fixes the error. You're seeing the error so that means that Sea Block isn't enabled. This is generally because you have an incompatible mod enabled: Alien Biomes or Angel's Exploration.

Disable all mods, then enable Sea Block Pack - Official. Check that this works for you first. Then add any additional QoL mods you fancy.

No, nothing has changed with Adjustable Inserters mod.

I've just released an updated version of Science Cost Tweaker. This issue has been fixed - along with a bunch of others. You'll still need to work out why Sea Block isn't loading though. Either a missing required dependency or an enabled incompatibility.

Sea Block 0.5.14 has been released! Update all mods to the latest version in game. I'll get the first post updated later.

Breaking changes are list here, as usual.

Any idea? The errors go back and forth between this and ScienceCostTweaker. I get the same error with the "lab module" thing as the poster above.

No other mods loaded that could conflict, it's purely what's needed to play Sea Block.

Looks like you need to update Bob's Library mod. All mods should be on the latest version.

Hi. I have this problem when opening the game:


I have the latest version of factorio. (103 I think) "Angels" all are on the last version, and "Bobs" are on either 1.1.6 or 1.1.7/ List of other mods versions on the second image.

Please help)

Is it even worth it to use any of the mixed ore sortings other than what you need to research the direct ore sortings?

In my last game I didn't outomate any of the mixed ore sorting and just did a big by hand to get e.g. the needed lead.

Mixed ore sorting is pretty underwhelming, although slagyield was buffed (2 instead of 1). There are some niche usages, f.e. mixed ore sorting of crushed bobmonium yields tin and silicon. Silicon is next tier and direct sorting for silicon requires chunks.

But its mainly an intermediate step to reach the direct sorting recipe, which needs the next tier of ore sorter.

Other alternatives are ferrous and cupric sorting, which have some nice usages
