Vanilla recipes missing

Post by HarryEnfield95 »

So after not playing for 6 months, I load up Factorio, update all my mods to make sure my previous save still worked properly, and then loaded my save

The mods work fine. My issue is that I now am unable to find the recipes for steam engines or boilers that were there before. I have the tier 2 and 3 recipes researched from Bob's power mod but the tier 1 recipes have disappeared. Anyone know a solution, or am I screwed?

This usually happens when you use a mod that replaces vanilla recipes and then disable it. The vanilla recipes are not automagically restored.
This should help fix things if I'm right :

That doesn't seem to have worked. The command went through, but no change in lost recipes
The recipes I'm missing are added to by Bob's power mod, and I know I never turned it off. I made sure to update all mods before loading into the save
Could there be another cause?

If you can pinpoint the technologies that unlock these recipes, un-researching and re-researching the techs usually works.
The commands are a couple paragraphs above my previous link, on the same page.

It seems like the problem was that the base technology for steam somehow unresearched itself in the last 6 months of me not playing lmao
I guess it was just a hiccup from an update. Thank you, I didn't want to give up on the 200+h save I had.
