Description

Subterrain is a mod that adds a new spin on underground belts, subterranean belts. These belts are unique in that their specialized engineering allows them to travel a whopping 250 tiles underground. However, unlike standard issue underground belts that simply factor the length into the recipe, these belts cost the player belts based on distance, while the underground belt itself is cheap. This means no loss in efficiency by building short subterranean belts. The mod also adds pipes of a similar nature.

For more specialized documentation on the mod, see the wiki page of the github repository, here, and the readme of the repository.

I should note that this is my first mod. While this mod is unlikely to corrupt your save, it is always pertinent to keep backups in the event of issues, when installing any mod.



NOTE: This is not my MOD above, Author and current maintainer is Gangsir
But I have heavily modified it, below. And Rewritten control.lua file to work a bit different and removed 100 lines of redundant code.
You can still see bits of the same code, because I reused some algorithms.
I'm no modder, any revisions on the code are welcome.


[spoiler=Description of modified version]It no longer makes a wooden box. Belts and pipes goes back directly to your inventory.
All code after being destroyed was removed due to redundancy and probably will be sorted out when Official author of this MOD will appear.
It still uses icons of original author and changes he made to entities and prototypes. Author already made the changes.
[attachment=8]Subterrain_modified_0.0.1.zip[/attachment][/spoiler]
My own vision:
Is to replace default belts and pipes with these and remove all technology that original author added. (Modified version)
But I'll make many or easily customizable to satisfy most people.

Almost done, there is a bug though. If belts or pipes are built between already placed ones and connected to, then almost all amount of belts are lost, because logic returns belts between already connected ones and doesn't take into account (yet) that original belts were cut. Any ideas on how to accomplish it would be awesome

not sure if this is the same mod as one posted on portal:
https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Gangsir/Subterrain
if it is suggest linking the portal to this forum topic for better discussion.

first, thanks for this very useful mod, it has cleared up my rather messy bus and made it look clean and well bare, lol

second i suggest that you make them upgrade from the previous so i am not left with a bunch of the previous when i upgrade
here is the modification i made to the recipe:

You are in the right place my friend. But I'm not creator of that mod, I don't have an access to change anything in Mod portal. All Credits go to the Author named Gangsir. Since I didn't like the mod itself, I've modified it and posted the modification here and original Mod as a credit to the real author.

Oh hey, I'm the mod creator of Subterrain. I didn't expect someone to do this (and giving me a heads up would have been nice), but it's all cool.

With your permission, I could merge in your fixes to my control scripting code, but I wish to keep the technologies and entities seperate from vanilla.

I apologize I haven't contacted you, I assumed that You no longer are into it and if I was wrong You'll find it here. You can use all my code as your own. But we have the same problem, if underground belts and pipes are cut using new underground belts and pipes logic fails for giving the right amount back. 0.1.0 version has the most optimized code, you can merge it using that. 0.0.1 was just to remove the boxes, didn't do much optimization and code isn't clean as you can see.

Also with your permission we can contact Moderators to give you first post in the thread and mine would be second for modified since it's still your idea.

Yeah, that's an issue that I could never find a clean solution to, because of how factorio's underground belt logic works. I guess it's fine though. Thanks for optimizing my code. I'll also fix recipes to use the previous tier, as many have complained.

How come this feature is not in vanilla? Fixed cost underground belt and pipes makes no sense!!!

oh i totally love this mod, it just makes so much sense, to me at least. but that is why we have mods!

now we just need to have mods be easily sync-able per server. instead of manual since it's introduction. it usually is too much hassle to download individual mods

Aaaammmm... This is the Request.
I mean, can you update your vision for 0.15?

I killed some time for this. But!
This is it. What I would like to see in the game. Subterrain_modified_0.1.1 for Factorio 0.15: https://yadi.sk/d/kk2kspIW3KxP3t
Works perfect for my game.

Awesome! I'll test it later and send feedback if I find something
Thanks!

It seems like I fix auto-build and auto-deconstruction of underground belts by drones or by BlueBuild. And now it shows how many more things are needed, if construction fails.

The discussion here viewtopic.php?f=92&t=14781&p=300601&hil ... in#p300597 may help you chase down a bug.

Love the mod!

My version works with upgrade planer fine too. Try it.
But they replace original underground belts. (But who do they need???)

Hello, yeah sorry, I'm very busy these days, soon I'll update it.

Edit: Done! Enjoy.

Hello there!

I have a trouble with underground pipes. They not recognize correct second part.

I updated the mod because Gangsir gave me permission to do so: 55740
