Sounds like you're using both the Long Reach mod and an older version of Orbital Ion Cannon; just update to 1.2.1 and the problem should be resolved for you.malk0lm wrote:I just launched a cannon and when I try to use it I get the error: Friendly character in critical proximity to target zone. I have it fully zoomed out and no one is near the target, only the biter base. Why won't it fire?
I'm on 12.34.
So, are you planning on adding those ?Supercheese wrote:I'll add worms as valid auto-targets for the next version.

It was rather surprising when a mob walked up and just chomped me in one hit.
Here's my mod list: (...)
The obvious thing to do in this situation guys, would be to test which mod causes interaction in the first place.Frosty_Alan wrote:It seems like the issues came when i had more then 3 default assembly machines, from the Factorio-Basics machines.
I'm sort of surprised - is it standard practice here to talk down to people who post here?Code: Select all

Thank you very much !Supercheese wrote:Version 1.2.3 uploaded, adding Worms as secondary targets for Auto-Targeting stations.
Hey, I was just trying to be helpful - I'm a mod developer too and if someone made me a bug report saying that "something's not right" and put his 30+ mod list thinking I have the time and courage to go through them one by one, just to find the issue he's describing, I would say the same thing to him. Factorio developers always ask for that kind of mod troubleshooting in the bug section when making a bug report...wolvenmoon wrote:(...) without reading the snarky reply by DevilXD that would only identify the conflict without fixing the issue!
That is exactly what version 0.1.4 of Satellite Uplink Station did.orzelek wrote:You could also make the fake vehicle non-destructable in Ion Cannon mod and see if it helps.
I think you just forgot to send a satellite into space. Because that's the requirement for the targeting device to be unlocked if I remember correctly.aRatNamedSammy wrote:weird.. the targeting device isnt in the menu i use these mods

good reason to send in multiple cannon in orbit
also good reason for auto-launcher
but, only one thing.. the pause.. personally, it happen i leave my seat for few minutes, even an hour
is there a way to avoid it to pause the game?
