I think Angels Bio Processing is missing a recipe for late game crystallization on fish wastewater.

The late game modules ranging from levels 6-8 require making Logic Boards of the respective type, but said Logic Boards require Polished Crystals of the respective colors. The problem is the only way to ultimately acquire these crystals is via a recipe called "Raw crystal cutting" located under the "Bob's Gemstones" tab. Unfortunately, there is no recipe for crystalizing a "Raw Crystal," and the Research tab cannot find it. The Helmod mod I am also using can't find it. I also looked at the source code of the mod myself, and I cannot find it, either.

I can't reproduce this issue sorry. Can you please create a new game. Check if the issue still exists. If it does, save the new game and upload it for us to check. Either here or attached to a GitHub issue.

Late game crystals are made from Biters, not from fish water.

I see. Thanks for the response. So, I need a Big Biter Zoo to get the desired Raw Crystals. I am playing on peaceful because of other imposed challenges including DangOreus and MSP - 30 new Science Packs. So, attacking Biter bases is not an option. (Strange how Helmod is still unable to find this recipe.)

But speaking of recipes, I think there's a conflict with MSP - 30 new Science Packs because researching Agriculture modules is impossible as Research asks for Alien Plant Life Sample, Science Packs 1-4, and module circuit boards to be researched at the same time. Since no Research Lab is capable of handling all 3 types of ingredients, this tech tree cannot even start.

This recipe should still be available in peaceful mode. It's unrelated to the biters you find in the world.

For both of these issues, it would really help to get an empty save game as I explained previously. Thanks!

Biter Breeding is already underway. Luckily, I have already bred a fair number of Corrosive Puffer Eggs for an early kickstart.

I was not being allowed to upload a file to your repository. So, I created my own repository and uploaded the empty game save there. You can find it here:

The crystal recipes all look correctly available. I've created a Pull Request from MSP to resolve the Agriculture Modules issue.

I can't research advanced glass fusing, which makes me unable to progress any further. The main problem is that I can't even research it through the consulting team. Considering I've researched everything above. This may well be due to mod conflicts, but even after disabling all mods except angel and his adons I couldn't do this research

Angel's and Krastorio 2 don't play nicely together. Someone has started trying to fix the compatibility issues from the K2 side but it needs a lot more work. This isn't a quick fix sorry.

Hi angel..

There is missing research for Platinum sheetcoil II pleas fix

Hi angel..

Can you upload a save file please? It's impossible to investigate issues like this without more information.

Hello,

EDIT: I found out the culprit! Sorry for the noise. It was AAI Programmable Vehicles build denial feature, I disabled that by setting the value of configuration setting 'Deadzone construction denial range' to 0, and the turrets started working immediately. So, the rest of the post can be ignored now!


I'm in need of help with respect to the Gathering turrets in Angel's Exploration: they don't seem to be working in my game. I've build walls filled with them, and when bugs die nearby and drop their artifacts, despite several turrets being in range, none of them activate to gather the dropped items.

I've seen them work with this same load out and with the same wall layout in my Lab environment test: I've spawned some biters inside the lab and tested the walls during the attacks, and in there the turrets seemed to work, but now that they are deployed in the real game surface, none of them seem to work.

Is there any way I can debug what's happening?

The only thing strange about this game is the fact that the enemies weren't enabled from the start, I've just enabled them using the mod "Change Map Settings" and then using the "Delete Empty Chunks" mod, I cleared all the revealed chunks outside my walls in order to make the bases spawn normally... the walls were built from before enabling them, maybe that could be a cause?

Also, before enabling the enemies, I've added a couple if enemy enhancing mods to the save that weren't present from the start: Natural Evolution Enemies, and Rampant.

Bob's Warfare and Bob's Enemies were installed since the beginning in this map, even if I had the enemies turned off... I always intended to enable them at some point.

Here's the relevant mods' versions:

- Natural_Evolution_Enemies v1.1.28
- angelsexploration v0.3.14
- bobwarfare v1.1.6
- bobenemies v1.1.6
- ArmouredBiters v1.1.9
- Rampant v3.3.3

And here's my full mod list for completeness sake -> https://pastebin.com/PqsK5cGE (taken via console script by iterating the script.active_mods collection)

Natural Evolution Enemies seem to be altering the alien artifacts, perhaps it could be an interaction with that mod that causes the issues?

I can upload and share a save if it's needed.

Best regards.

Hi, i wanna report a bug ive noticed since ive started to play factorio again. I noticed that there were a problem with the infinite ores selection, My mod list is simple, the full Suite of Bob's mod, Alien Biomes, and Angel Infinite ores + RSO. The bug i noticed concern Angel infinite Ore, I can only change the yield of the infinite ores of the vanilla ores, iron, stone, copper, coal, ect.... and only spawn those, all the bob's ores are finite, and dont spawn the infinite patch in the center... activating or removing RSO dont change anything... could it be related to mod order, angel seems to be the first loaded, is there a way to change this ?
fresh factorio install, current 1.1.76 version. thanks in advance

Fix will be in the next version of Angel's Infinite Ores.

There's an easy workaround:
- Disable all mods except Bob's Ores mod
- Restart the game to apply
- In mod settings, enable the setting for each ore
- Reenable other mods as desired

Bob's MCI mod hides the ore settings because they do nothing when MCI is enabled. The ores will always be created. Angel's Infinite Ores mod is checking if ore settings are enabled.

Just logged back, and saw this, thanks a lot to all of you, i realy appreciate that !, gonna try it this weekend see if you posted the update yet, or if the fix work on my side. thanks a lot and have a very nice weekend !

I tryed your workaround, and it dosen't seem to work, i did what you said, and you are right about the MCI changing the behavior of the infinite ore, when its disabled, i can see and adjust the slider, but the second i enable MCI, it break... i disabled all my mod, exept bob ore, enable the ores in the mod option, reloading the game, reenable the mods, but each time my mod list change, it seems to revert to "base config" of each mod, so i can't still not enable or adjust infinite bauxite, or tin after the final mod enabling.... i tried to enable all my mod exept MCI, Start a game, as so to "lock" the mod setting, for the next new game you start, no luck either, i tried to start a new game, all my mod on exept MCI, start a new game to "lock" the setting, then reenable MCI, it didint work. I tryed to start a game but with all my mod exept MCI, make a savefile, then reenable the mod, load the savefile with all the patch generated, but the change in mod recompile when you load says that all the infinite ore patches are deleted... ill just wait until when you update the mod, unless you have an idea of something i did wrong...

Hi, I MANAGED TO DO IT ! thanks a lot ! your info on the MCI and bob ore interaction with Angel infinte ore was the missing link for me ! i changed the default behavior of Bob Ore with the Setting.lua, in the mod folder and enabled the ore there, and after a few fidlling, voila, the slider appear and i can adjust everything i want ! and MCI is enabled ! thanks a LOT ! so much more satisfiying to solve it myself than just asking for a fix ! your help was invaluable ! thanks KiwiHawk

I finally got gathering turret to collect small artifact on the ground. But when turrets cleaned the ground, it switch to "disabled by script" and it's not getting back on when new artifacts is on the ground.
Deconstructing them, and building them again make them work again, but they're disabled again when there is no more artifact on the ground.

Let me know if you need more infos
