Do you happen to remember what changes how fast the increments for the range/width values in the UI? The selector is really slow at changing values.

And yes, I'm working on a decompiled version, planning to make a fair amount of changes while still being balanced. Will credit you if I upload it to the workshop.

I'm just putting this here so anyone can see it, this mod is broken right now. Even the PTG MK2 which is one of the main reasons I wanted to try this mod out.

I've been having problems with getting this mod to work on my Ubuntu Linux box; the research and resources simply don't appear in the game on my Linux box.

Following up on a comment from 2017, there's still the XML vs. Xml directory capitalization problem that doesn't show up in Windows. I fixed it on my Linux system by creating a symlink in the mod's folder:

<redacted>@<redacted>-nix [12:46:22] [~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/workshop/content/254200/737875519]
-> % ln -s XML Xml
<redacted>@<redacted> [12:46:31] [~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/workshop/content/254200/737875519]
-> % ll -d X*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 <redacted> <redacted> 3 May 18 12:46 Xml -> XML/
drwxrwxr-x 3 <redacted> <redacted> 4096 May 18 12:31 XML/

I verified that the research projects now show up in the Research Lab and help files. I haven't tested the machines, yet, but I plan to test more fully tonight after work.

Thanks for a great mod, Shadow! I'm glad I could get it working. :-)

When starting shadow research (the first) on a dedicated server, the client crashed and the reasearch start doesn't get emited to the server...

How do you use the autostairs? I hit scan and just keep getting a message that Left and Right are invalid.

How do I unpause the conveyor filters??

Found a small issue with the AEP AutoExcavator Plus. When the dig distance gets far from the machine (not sure of exact distance but happens somewhere between 128 and 256) the AEP quits dropping blocks. It continues digging, but the material it digs out is lost. Also, when you get far away from the machine, the squigly blue texture that surrounds the dig area disappears.

Havent check network clients in awhile. will need to setup my client/server again for testing. wating for all the changes for the last few updates to game finish before really looking into making changes and or adjustments. CEP conveyor filter was built because the vanilla didnt invert, now that it does, im not sure if CEP CF is needed. Basic filters are by categories, sounds like the Pristine/Ruined would be a good setup for advanced filters or using the Thief and setting custom filtering. Either way I should be looking at everything soon as final changes to the game are just around the corner for DJ

Shadow are you having any issues with network clients and the mod?
I have a thief that works for the host, but when I jump on it. It just deletes the items from my inventory.

Not sure if you are taking any enhancement suggestions, but I'd LOVE to have a Pristine Organics and Ruined Organics option on the CEP Conveyor Filter.

Stairs forward is not covered with the current machines - ill look into it

Hi is it possible to build or dig stairways just forward?

Great thanks!

Update speed of Excavator for Tier 3/4
Fixed AutoBuilder Distance for Tier 3/4

Thanks so much for the fix!

Mod built against p18 nightly game version

How is updating going? Can we hope for new version soon?

Just wanted to chime in and say I love your mod as well and I'm looking forward to the fixes!

Working on fixes for new P17/P18 that deal with new UI in game - im away till late monday night 1/15 so dont want to release until i get back in case of issue

oh, and for some reaason the ptg mk2 was in the power storage tab instead of the generation tab in p16.

HYPE \o/ . i must say that your mod makes doing certain things a LOT easier. thank you for both taking your time to talk to me, and for making such a useful mod.

Working on issues now for p17/p18

are there any plans to update to p17?

The PTG is bad designed in my opinion.
1. (Design) remove the redundant switch function. Keep it simple.
2. (BUG) if the PTG is at 2x or 3x speed, it still generates the maximum power even if there is only one fuel available.(therefore you can generate ~1000/1500 power with 1 infused coal)
3. (optional) increase PTG speed to 5x standard. Its better.
4. (optional) introduce a Mk 2 coal infuser. I did a simple mod where you can combine 25 enricher and 25 infuser to have 1 single infuser which can directly infuse a 100/min coal line. Much better.

5. Though the other machines are very nice, the higher Mks are super redundant. You only need Mk 2s.

@Shadow After a bit more playing it appears that the PGP skin when placed is the default skin, and not your skin. Also, you do not have to exit the client to get it to fix itself, you just have to go quite a distance away after placing the PGP for it to I guess reset, then you can come back and it has the right skin, and can be configured.

Will add it to the bug fix list thanks

FYI, you can't change the PGP settings after placing it when on a dedicated server. After restarting the client you can. Annoying but workable...

Thanks!

2) Tested it - you can see effect

And I have just placed 16 blocks :D Even with worth 20% effinency drill it is profitable to take ores on the surface and mine them there (Automate it and get endless source of ore?)

1) your autobuilder allowed me to place DLC stuff without owning DLC :D
If it's really hard then don't bother it isn't important.
2) I did test it only once on coal - I placed 16 blocks of coal with your autobuilder (I have mod that adjusts the default size of veins from 4095 to 50000, with 16 blocks of coal I had vein which had 800k size, I didn't test it on vanilla the number would be lower but for sure higher than 1 :D)
I can test it tomorrow tho ^

Wariat117:
1) Multiblock machines are very specific to code - each machine has a set of values the blocks get converted from and into. Also each MB machine is different sizes for XYZ so tthe autobuild machine would have to be specially code for each type machine. Just out of curiousity - why would you need auto block machines to autobuild - what and how many of each are you trying to place that it needs automation.
2) Are you saying the Autobuild machine is allowing placement of ores at the moment with a ore content of 1 ore?

Would it be possible to introduce auto-building of multiblock machines?
If you use the auto-builder then they don't turn into machines :D They stay in their block form.

Also with this mod you can farm ores - mine ore then build with autobuilder and mine again.
(If nothing breaks then placed one should have more than 1)

Okay, figured out the first issue. Upgrader has to be turned around so that the front faces the item to be replaced...

I'm having issues with the AutoUpgrader Plus Mk1. I set it up so that its back is against a conveyor. Set the search item to regular conveyor, set the New Item to Transport Pipe. Place a hopper next to it full of transport pipes, set it to drop items, and provide power. When I scan, it tells me everything is good, but as soon as I try to turn it on, it tells me "No Starting Block found to Upgrade!". What am I doing wrong here?

Also, a very minor thing, the PGP Mk2 is found under power storage rather than power generation category when in the manufacturing screen.

Any thoughts on expanding the pyrotherms by the way? MK3+ and such? I like them but I'm probably supposed to go to turbines by now. Time and place I guess. They don't need to replace turbines, but maybe something along the lines of how the other machines have MK3+ versions?

Neurodancer, I sent a request to you to contact you off forum so i can get additional information.

Fixing the PTG to work underground like the vanilla was on my list of issues. Thanks!

ok if you need any other ideas for the mod feel free to add me on steam

I'm not complaining but, I noticed the MK2 Pyrothermic Generator works underground. Latest mainline stable, it was producing power in the toxic caverns without error.
(I actually quite like this!)
Just not sure if it was intentional.

I''ve been looking into power to dig speed per game update - will see what i can do

can you make a speed boost block for all ofthe blocks as i have been playing with the mod and i don't like how slow the excavators are when you make then bigger then 15 by 15 so two ideas maybe you could add a speed boost setting that makes the power usege go up but makes it work way faster or my first idea a speed boost block just trying to help make the mod better for every one who trys to make a 99 by 99 pit so can you add on of my ideas?

Yes... this is a game with over 100 hours into it. For some reason I can't see your st uff.

I would like to suggest a conveyor filter MK2 that adds some additional filter options: Ruined Organic, Intact Organic, and T4 Ore

Have you researched T1 Power/T1 assist machines to start off?

That's the deal though... I have researched floor excavators, auto excavatorts, and so on. I still don't see yours.

As the standard in game versions of a machine become available and are built then the mod versions can be researched. So as an example until you can research and build an excavator, you will not see my version until then.

Latest version of 16. I don't see any of your new units in the game, nor do I see any research to unlock them.

Mod shows as loaded and selected in the game.

Thanks :-)
