This won't work very well as-is. Angel's does this mixed ore through RSO, whereas the resource generation for asteroids is its own system. And I do have some "mixed" asteroids but the mixture is even, rather than having a central pool of a different ore. But what could happen is you might get something like infinite copper mixed with non-infinite iron ... or an infinite ore mixed with a different infinite ore ... it's completely random.buggy123 wrote:I can't test it at the moment - will this work properly with angel's infinite ores, if i add them via the interface? I'm not sure how angels handles having ore patches with 2 different ore types in it (non-infinite with a small core of infinite), and depending on how you do it it might not work by default.
A fair point ... this was a bit of an experiment, I wanted to play with the heat mechanics to try and make the builds a bit unique! But I didn't fully consider that players might simply not have nuclear set up by this point in the game. Later on I was going to be introducing something else that created heat, the idea is that you can use the excess heat from that for melting plastic. But yes for now it does seem rather silly (from a realism point of view) to have to build a reactor just to melt some plasticadeade45 wrote:Seriously? FORCING us to go nuclear? Come on man at least add a cheap heat generator for those of us who don't want nuclear.
I've got more than enough solar power for a base 10x my size, but now I have to build a nuclear reactor cause you decided to add a heat requirement to the plastic forming plant? Seriously?

The resource generation is entirely custom, but I provide a script interface to register new ores, there is a small issue for Omnimatter but it's certainly fixable:qwerter96 wrote:How is resource generation on asteroids done, I'd like to use this mod with omnimatter but the asteroids don't generate omnium, giving vanilla ores instead...

Yeah, the problem is refactoring without actually testing everything afterwards! Fixed in 0.6.5.The Zero wrote:Refactoring, huh?
Sorry about that - I made the repository public and just forgot to post a link: https://github.com/chucksellick/The Zero wrote:And my question about code repository and a place to send PRs for bugfixes is still unanswered
Amazing, thanks for this! I've added a link in the README. Also in 0.6.4 I've added methods for removing resources:nucleargen wrote:factorium ore support already is: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/nuclearg ... arch-addon (with fix from EmprerorZelos to omnimatter)doc wrote: You will also need to add Factorium ore support of course but this is the same for any non-vanilla ore, details are on the Omnimatter page: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/EmperorZelos/omnimatter
i haven't check yet resource generation on asteroids, but will see soon and maybe implement it to addon.

Just a quick heads up that most real life asteroids are made almost entirely of carbon.doc wrote:By default oil and coal are omitted because they're derived from organic matter so it wouldn't seem right to find them on an asteroid.

__portal-research__/modules/orbitals.lua:44: attempt to index global 'telescope' (a nil value)Yes, I did actually discover this when I was doing my research. But carbon is not the same as coal, you still need organic matter and time to make coal or oil. And there has been research already into the real-life viability of asteroid mining:featherwinglove wrote: Just a quick heads up that most real life asteroids are made almost entirely of carbon.
However I can find evidence that both iron and copper (and obviously "stone" which could be a wide variety of things) could be out there:it is very unlikely there are significant, let alone measurable, amounts of life-derived carbon ejected from Earth within our solar system. And whatever might be there will have been profoundly altered by the pressure and temperature of the meteoric impacts which would have ejected them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate_mineralsCloser to the Sun, at just over twice the Earth's orbital distance, the proportion of C-type asteroids is only about 40 percent. Here, the majority of asteroids are grey, without the carbon material and principally made of silicate compound rock.
Obviously my research hasn't been exhaustive but I think I'm doing a decent job of representing reality. I might increase the chance of "barren" asteroids a bit. Also I should point out that the data you linked is only based on our asteroid belt, who knows what the composition of asteroids in Factorio's solar system might be![many asteroids] are thought to consist of platinum, gold, iron, and more. A single 500-meter-wide asteroid can contain almost 175 times Earth’s annual platinum mining output, according to Massachusetts Institute of Technology research.

Edit: No, it wasn't even that, it was the refactor again. Solar harvesters were broken too
The thing is, Omnimatter has to do it there, because it's dynamically creating new techs to unlock the various ore processing recipes (I believe that's how it works anyway). So it has to be done at the stage when raw data is modifiable.nucleargen wrote:And what do you think about integrate remote interface such as in omnimatter? In that mod a could use omni.add_resource in data_updates, instead remote.call from control.lua. What is the best way?
