Hi,
i found a funny bug.

steps to reproduce:

1. build 1 "gas refinery"
2. build it on the ground
3. remove it
4. voila! You have an "advanced gas rafinery" in your backpack


Found it because i was tryin to find out how to do plastic, after i finished i want to scale it bigger, but couldnt find "advanced gas rafinery".... then i thought, build the normal one, needed to rearange it... and voila! Works everytime.

But its shit, becasue the advanced seems to be worser...? Double bug? (slower more polution)

the advanced has one in- and one output more.

I noticed this too. Presumably the gas refinery has the wrong pickup item in the files or there's a name conflict.

There's also another bug in that regard: The Gas Refinery MK2 has all inlets and outlets one further out (in the air basically) then needed.

Also the Advanced Gas Refinery is actually worse, Crafting speed of 1 instead of 1.5 (for the Gas Refinery), while also being 6x6 instead of 4x4. (Power consumption is also higher, but who cares)

edit: So the fix for this is relatively simple, all changes in angelspetrochem_0.5.9\prototypes\buildings\gas-refinery.lua :

Change line 19 to Change lines 134/135 and 245/46 and 356/357 to Replace the "4"s and "-4"s in lines 195, 201, 207, 213 and 306, 312, 318, 324 and 417, 423, 429 and 435 with "3" and "-3" respectively.

This part isn't a bug; it's like the chemical plant/advanced chemical plant. The simple version is smaller, faster, and more efficient but can't handle the more complex (i.e. advanced) recipes. In particular, if you look at the Advanced Gas Processing tech, the recipes it unlocks can only be performed by the Advanced Gas Refineries.

Thanks for that fix, @wlfbck! It worked perfectly (once I replaced *all* the collision entries, not just the first one. )

I see. But for me it's more like "god i have to use that shitty slow and way too large plant again"

@Daemoria: happy to help!

Yep, I found this out myself as well yesterday, I was so confused as to why one was bigger than the other one when I was moving them!

Should be fixed with yesterdays update
