Bobs Mods

[nuhll]

Hi,
ive played now quite some time bobs mods.

But i dont get enaught iron... what im doin wrong?

Saphirit -> crush -> floating -> sorting -> smelting

Also, i wonder why i dont have the infinite ores like arumba? I use his modpack, is it possible to add this in an existing game, if so, how?

i assume you mean your using bobs mods and angels mods? to get the the infinite ore you need angels infinite ore mod. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Arch666A ... finiteores. it should start with infinite ores turned on and if added in an already started game just reveal new ore patches( they have to under black unexplored chunks to spawn).

Sorting of chunks and crystals gives far too much rarely used metal ores compared to basic stuff (I look at you, cobolt). You can product ores also straight. Sorting of saphirite and jivolite crushes gives iron ore without excess scrap. You can also find recipes to other metal ores.

Hi,
thanks for your help.
Im also using slag and the stone for extra copper and iron.


I found out that jivitite or what ever it is called together with saphirite could be a good deal! Also, im currently not using the diodes, which woudl also give some in return.

Is it posisble to do the ores gen egain after installing the infinite ores?

Geodes give relatively small amount of metal ores and filtration and crystallization of large amounts need huge plants. In my opinion it is more productive to increase basic production of iron and other common metals and use geodes to gems and possible rarer metals (for example gold and tungsten so you can avoid last step of primary ore processing).

I have not found a single straightforward balanced process with Angel's ore mods. You need many different processes to produce all needed metal ores and avoid blocking of any production. In my opinion it is very interesting problem and therefore I like very much to Angel's ores.

Yes it is, but unfortunately I do not remember exact commands. However, Angel's production chains are quite efficient and you do not need huge amounts of ores. One large and rich ore patch per ore is probably enough for hundred hours or more if you do not try to make insanely large megabase.
