[0.11.1][qebrow] Can't use modules in Electric Furnace

I've tried to insert Productivity, Speed and Efficiency modules in to Electric Furnace module slots, but got message that I can't insert it there. This is as it should be?

I've "fixed" it pretty easily by adding line:

Code: Select all

allowed_effects = {"consumption", "speed", "productivity", "pollution"},
after 4000th line in the entities.lua, just right after:

Code: Select all

module_slots = 2,
Strange part, that Electric Drill and Oil Pump don't have this line, but can use all modules without any problem.

I can't reproduce this, they all work for me.

I have same issue - in Electric Furnace build before 0.11.1 modules works - when i remove them and try to insert one more time I get error it can't be used in Electric Furnace
in Electric Furnace bulid after 0.11.1 I am not able to insert any modules.

I can confirm issue.

11.1 do not allow electric furnace to use modules, I perfectly sure - this related to code merge of furnace and assembly machine.

Can't confirm. Successfully placed efficiency modules in my electric furnaces. Mind you, I did it by ctrl+clicking, so maybe it's the interface that's being wonky?

EDIT: Yep, confirmed. Ctrl+clicking to place modules still works, but trying to slot them in manually does not.

i put them in my electric furnaces just fine, the normal way of just opening it up... thats really odd...

Thank you for the notice, it is fixed for 0.11.2 now.
WarStalkeR - Yes, this is correct solution.
RawCode - Yes, this related to code merge of furnace and assembling machine.

I do think that energy saving modules should not be in electric furnaces. The reason being that the heat which is is used in an electric furnace is technically energy waste. So by reducing the energy waste with an energy saving module you would in reality be reducing the heat for the furnace, which would hamper production.

I would think of it as an improvement to the insulation, or reclamation of heat. Not necessarily less overall energy needed to smelt a particular item, but less energy exhausted to the environment - though that doesn't really go along with the increased pollution :? :D
