Unable to play Space Exploration + Krastorio 2 together

Post by eBagger »

I beat Space Age, but wanted more Factorio. Tried several mods like Seablock and Pyanodon, but they are rather advanced. I pretty much have one playthrough of vanilla, and one playthrough of Space Age.

So I start downloading and messing with mods for the first time, and I notice Krastorio 2 requires an older flib version or something, and will not allow me to play.

I have a steam version that is up-to-date with 2.0, where I have pyanodon installed and ready to go, and then I downloaded 1.1.110 for mods not yet ready for 2.0. They all seem to work except Krastorio, or any Krastorio integration.

Krastorio 2 is always in red and I get errors like this

Now obviously I understand it requires the old file library 1.12 or whatever it is, but is this a common issue? Is there a known way to resolve this?

I can disable Krastorio and Space Exploration works fine by itself. I started messing around in Space Exploration and before I knew it I have like 5 hours in and preapring for blue science but I'm not sure I want to continue. I joined a multiplayer server with SE/Krastorio 2 enabled and it looked cool. Anyway thanks for any help.

Glad you're keeping the 1.1 mods alive!

Try using the actual Krastorio2 mod from raiguard instead of a random fork.

Use https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Krastorio2

Not https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Krastorio2_EI_SE

Not sure how you found that one if you aren't using Exotic Industries.

In this case I recommend to forget about SE until it will be ready for 2.0 and you will have dozens finished game sessions in not so big mods. Though It was one of the best mods for 1.1 it never was for novice and now we have SA which in some sense is SE done right - more interesting, much less grinding.
Rough estimations for game duration for average player:
vanilla 1.1 - 10 hours
krastorio2 - 30 hours
SA - 40 hours
SE - 300 hours
