You should use some form of code repository to minimize problems like that. I'd suggest github

to be fair i was in the caribbean working on a crappy laptop, without an internet connection. Normally i use github, but you know... no internet

Crappy laptop and no internet is disaster.
Why work on vacation in the first place?

because it wasn't a vacation and i don't consider modding work :p

Okay, i have made a small update. It only fixes the problem with the new treefarm version.
You will now need treefarm lite and advanced to get the mod working.

edit: I have made a roadmap for the next couple versions, check the second post for that.

State of the mod - 14th of February

The last two days I have been very busy with the mod. So busy that the 0.2.0 release is ready for shipping. I have to say that I included a simple version for the oil processing as I am still figuring out how to do it right.
Also all the things that were broken, like iron requirement for simple electronics and tin and lead processing not available, have been resolved.

Enjoy

Very strange idea with using 3 types of science packs with the same graphics - 1-a, 2-a, 3-a, why do we need to complicate things? What you want to achieve cartmen? as far as I could understand you still have to draw a new graphics for ores and science packs?
The conception of overhaul mod was very cool, now mod looks some strange with some unnecessary complications, as i said before we need new graphics in future, otherwise, we can easily get confused

I agree fully. Without proper graphics it is confusing. But the thing is that i am not sure about the name for the packs, the name you see now is purely for internal use.

I want you not made the same mistake as Dysoch this his science packs, there have many type of science packs, but he refused in the end, i think many players did not accept his decision as a good in gameplay
So what about ores and grades - any idea of using bobores? I like combination with treefarm , so i'll wait for next solutions with another mods
The grades this is a controversial decision, but i respect your opinion, despite the fact that advancement in the technology tree is not easy as well as all gameplay

I'ts getting quiet around here. Are you on duty Mr. Cartmen?

After a few re-plays of factorio (v. 11.14) with your mod (as it is in update 0.2.0) I think it runs pretty smooth. Besides some minor balance issues and the Graphics up until now it's realy fun to play. I like this mod more than ever.

Any news about mod?

Life has been slow :p I have also been busy playing a lot of insurgency xD I did however put some work in the electronics part of the mod. I can't tell you when i will finish that because i simply don't know. I am also experimenting with the big rocks that spawn randomly on the map to make them minable to obtain a rare resource. It would force the player to do some exploring to get the best machines.

Any good news about graphics for ores with different grades as you want before?

haven't looked at it yet.

If you have any suggestions please post them here.

If you are focusing on realism, I would like if someone could remove vehicles existing as items.

I picture having to build a special "Vehicle Assembly Machine" to create or even possibly to disassemble vehicles. The vehicle assembly machine would take ingredients just like a regular assemble machine except it would output your car or tank towards the machine's output or, if it would be simpler to code, just output the vehicle directly next to the machine.

In addition, it would be nice to see a bulldozer for cutting roads thru the forests far away from your robot networks or you could maybe try smashing a large cluster of biters.

Its looks like mod now frozen for some time, may be cartmen will make mini update for mod with some new elements?

I can't put science pack 2-a into simple labolatory to research bronze science....wats wrong?
that's a bug that no one has reported yet. I've taken a look and know what is wrong and it will be fixed in the next version.

I am working on it but progress is slow. Got a lot of things on my mind these days.

Call me silly but how do I make bronze with current 0.2.0 alpha? I do have both the hg copper and tin ores, but it just tells me it can't be crafted barehanded, and the "crafted in" hint is just plain empty

Silly !
Sorry, was just too tempting, apologies for the disturbance, please ignore this useless intervention
