I have no clue about what does that, so I can't help fixing it, and that's sad, because it was a very decent mod, when playing with the hard mobs of DyTech, and F-mod helping with alien researches.

Any mod that has new GUI elements causes crashing on load with 0.9.2. This bug is acknowledged and will be fixed in 0.9.3

Thx sparr for defending my mod, everything sparr said is true. There is a topic on this forum about that.

Do you mean that topic?

Yes

Next update is out there in 1st post. There was a few minor changes that apply to gui and code. And of course this version is 100% compatible to factorio v0.9.3.

Any ideas what can I add to this mod

Could anybody explain how to create post that contain this element:


Have a nice day/night

If you want inspiration, I had an idea that might get to the core someday, but It would probably need the modding changes.
Some kind of equipment, that would keep up to X of guarding biters following you and helping in the fight

As an FYI, I changed a few things on the mod to make it play better with 0.9.3, UI wise.

If you wish, I can upload the files I changed (and the one I added for custom subgroups), just say it.

I have thought about that but I don't know how to force biters to fallow me (player) and how force my biters to attack enemies.
* - "and how force my biters to attack enemies." never mind biters with game.forces.player will automatically attack enemies biters. But still don't know how to force bitters to fallow me. Any help... kovarex?

I have thought about that few more minutes and I thing that I know how to do that, but please answear me for one question. How to check if item name xxx is inside my body armor?

FYI?? Explain please.
I would be grateful for your help, maybe I will learn something, and of course if your changes are "make it play better with 0.9.3, UI wise." and you agree I will implement it to mod.
You can simply mail it to me... I will send email via pm.

For the 'follow', you could cheat the game by removing their 'attack', and telling them to hunt the player.

Not sure it would be any good though, because you would end up having them swarming you when you stop, making your life a pain when building, or trying to access chests.

Not to mention that you would need to always have cars in your inventory, in case they decide to swarm around your car while you are driving.


Maybe you could change that to some kind of defender robots, like those from the capsules, but feeding on your power armour's energy.
That would make much more sense, and might be way easier to do, as the only difference with the actual defender bots is that they take energy and don't time out.

Just my two cents.

Hm. The behavior of the biters needs to be exchanged. In an object oriented context it means exchanging the class, which controls the behavior.

I think there needs to be many experiments because of two reasons:
- controlling many soon gets performance critical. It should be avoided to control all/many via lua.
- there are general behaviors like "go to X, if there is Y then change to behavior A, else behavior B"

I think things are needed:
1. Changing a behavior of something possible via lua
2. An experimental behavior, where everything can be controlled via lua (I think something like that must be already existing)
3. A kind of specialized PL where you can replace parts of of #2 with faster functions. Like "if there is a sound, go to that location, attack enemies on the way to that point, then search within radius of sight for enemy-type, if there is enemy change behavior to fight, after fight repeat search. If nothing found, return to starting point."

Please, advise how to fix that:
I just want to set the condition for the smart inserter, but that is impossible due to the bug.

Possible solution: to move your items to a different sub-category.
But I don't know how to do that

I fixed it by adding a subgroup

Will be fixed in next version... I thing this night i will upload it.

Already posted a new version in 1st post. Bug discovered by slay_mithos and DRBLN was fixed.

ficolas thx for spoiler

Funny thing being that it's exactly what I sent him by e-mail, all the equipments put into two new subgroups to keep things clean-ish.

Thank you for fixing it. Now my Very-HighVery-High-Rich gamemode sounds possible again !

It... Translate to Russian

Спасибо (Thanks).

I will merge it with my mod in next version, unless you don't agree?

I agree, of course

EDIT: Wow, I really did not think this post through well enough. I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience I've burdened on you all.
