Removes solar panels from the game, along with the “solaris” achievement.

Moves the steam turbine unlock to a separate technology called “advanced power generation”, which can be researched from the beginning. Also adds a new machine called the steel boiler, which has the same stats as the heat exchanger except it consumes burnable fuel instead of heat. It is unlocked by a technology called “advanced power generation 2”, which has advanced power generation and advanced material processing as prerequisites, and is itself a prerequisite of nuclear power. Both new researches take 50 automation science packs at 5 seconds per pack, and the second takes the same amount of logistic science packs.

To the person who decides to make this mod: please put it on the mod portal.

You can make your first mod, there is the code that you need:

code

Place this code to your mod's data.lua

Code: Select all

-- data.raw.technology["nuclear-power"].effects[4] = {type = "unlock-recipe", recipe = "steam-turbine"}
data.raw.technology["nuclear-power"].effects[4] = nil -- deletes steam turbine from nuclear power technology
table.insert (data.raw.technology["nuclear-power"].prerequisites, "advanced-power-generation") -- adds "advanced-power-generation" to prerequisites of power technology


-- new technology prototypes:
data:extend(
{
  {
    type = "technology",
    name = "advanced-power-generation",
    icon_size = 128,
    icon = "__base__/graphics/technology/electric-energy-distribution.png",
    effects =
    {
      {
        type = "unlock-recipe",
        recipe = "steam-turbine"
      },
      -- {
        -- type = "unlock-recipe",
        -- recipe = "steam-boiler"
      -- },
    },
    unit =
    {
      count = 50,
      ingredients =
      {
        {"automation-science-pack", 1},

      },
      time = 5
    },
    -- prerequisites = {"advanced-power-generation", "advanced-material-processing"},

}
)

-- new steam boiler:
local name = "steam-boiler"

local entity = table.deepcopy(data.raw.boiler["heat-exchanger"])
entity.name = name
entity.minable = {mining_time = 0.1, result = name}
entity.energy_source = table.deepcopy (data.raw.boiler.boiler.energy_source)

local item = table.deepcopy (data.raw.item["heat-exchanger"])
item.name = name
item.place_result = name

local recipe = table.deepcopy (data.raw.recipe["heat-exchanger"])
recipe.name = name
recipe.result = name

data:extend({entity, item, recipe})

It didn’t work. The mod isn’t on the ingame list.

Sorry, (of course) you are need to set the file info.json.
Tutorial:Mod_structure#info.json

Short explanation:
If your mod folder has name test-mod-thing_0.0.1 then the file info.json will be placed as test-mod-thing_0.0.1/info.json and must be:

Code: Select all

   {
     "name": "test-mod-thing",
     "version": "0.0.1",
     "title": "My best test mod",
     "author": "A very great tester",
     "factorio_version": "0.18"
     "dependencies": ["? optional-mod"]
   }

Whole mod files structure:
test-mod-thing_0.0.1/info.json
test-mod-thing_0.0.1/data.lua
test-mod-thing_0.0.1/locale/en/any_name.cfg

Optionally you can pack it to archive test-mod-thing_0.0.1.zip
