DEPRECATED AS OF 2019-03-31T22:13:01 - SUPPORT PHASE ENDED

ADDS IN THE 0.17 SCIENCE PACK RECIPES AND OTHER UPCOMING CHANGES

0.17 released. Version 0.1.7 is the first release of the migration version (the point of which is to remove this mod from the world without causing issues), I haven't rigorously tested it but works for default settings. Always make sure to have a backup of the save before migration! Note that I won't be releasing many patches for reported bugs for the next few weeks.

Both recipes are retained so that base builders can convert their production lines to the new science format while being able to continue research as usual with the existing recipes.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. It is advised that you check the mod settings or read the list. Most features can be disabled there.
2. A warning to all pyanodon high-tech mod or seablock pack users: you must disable the tech-tree changes (as they cause dependancy loops)
3. I have chosen NOT to implement the weapon bonuses simplification in this mod, as it is unknown how the developers will implement compatibility with older saves. Additionally, I don't want to break existing saves and make them 'unfit' for 0.17.

All changes from 0.17 included in the mod

1. Science pack recipes (FFF-275)
2. Low-density-structures has been changed to 20x copper plate, 2x steel plate, 5x plastic bar as stated in FFF #275. (Note that the expensive mode material costs have been defined by me, and are not official.)
3. Transport-belt throughput buff
4. Mining and smelting speed changes
5. Removal of assembler item limit.
6. Removal of rocket shooting speed as a prerequisite from the rocket-silo technology. The rocket-silo technology itself and its prerequisites no longer requires military science packs
7. 0.17 tech-tree, complete with individual science-pack recipes (see #12) and other technologies (rocket-fuel, rocket-control-unit, low-density-structure and lubricant), as well as some changes to the electric-engine. See this image from FFF-275 for most of these examples: https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/img/blog/fff-275-23-rocket-silo-tech-tree-full.png. [NOTE: If this option is disabled, the rocket intermediates will be present in earlier technologies]
8. Atomic bomb requires rocket-control-units in place of processing units (FFF-257)
9. Power armor mk2 now uses mk.2 modules instead of mk.3 and requires advanced electronics 2 as a prerequisite technology (FFF-245)
10. Mining-tools (axes) are now inserted into the player's tool slot when unlocked and are uncraftable. This aims to reflect the changes proposed in FFF-266
11. Armor (+mining-tools) has inf. durability to reflect changes stated here: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=384185#p384185. IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT DISABLE THIS OPTION IN AN EXISTING SAVE. Doing so will create infinite armor/tools
12. low-density-structure is now used in 'high-tech' modular armor equipment (FFF-257). PLEASE NOTE that the values used are NOT OFFICIAL and are calculated by a formula (see settings for more information). If you are a modder and want your item to be affected by this mod please start a new thread in discussions.
13. Belt-immunity-equipment tech unlock and recipe (FFF-256)
14. Dedicated science pack technologies (FFF-275 & FFF-245). Note that these technologies are prerequsites of higher technologies through a lua script (to work with mods). The paths in 0.17 release may appear slightly different. The costs and time-per-unit of these techs are not official, but balanced from existing techs.
15. Pack type rebalancing (FFF-275 & FFF-245). Some production-science-pack consuming technologies will consume utility-science-packs in 0.17, vice versa, or have one of the two removed entirely. This is mainly based of FFF-275. For example, effect-transmission (beacons) use production-science-packs instead of utility-science-packs.
16. Nuclear-fuel-reprocessing is greatly discounted (-1000 units) as stated in FFF-275: "The Nuclear fuel cell reprocessing is also drastically cheaper as it does not do nearly as much as we once thought it would" -V453000
17. Victory condition for the game reflects FFF-275: "you now win the game by launching an empty rocket" -V.
18. New ore icons

The final version of this mod (post 0.17) will contain a migration script so that the mod can be uninstalled without issues

IMPORTANT NOTE: Version 0.1.6 of this mod is the last working version of the mod. Version 0.1.7 of the mod will be only for migrating saves to the official 0.17.

V 0.1.7 of the mod will allow you to remove it from your world. Expect some delays for this final migration version (real life stuff.) Thank you for participating in this Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment activity. Goodbye!

20190113: 0.0.12: See 12, 13 and 14. All should be variable in options (tech costs, discount, time cost, etc.). Migration script and tech-tree appears to work, but is tested only in light modded environments (some of Archangel's mods)
20190112: 0.0.11: Added belt-immunity-equipment tech+recipe, made 'high tech' (mk2, or requiring processing-unit) modular armor equipment require LDS in the recipes (values are NOT official). Fixed mining-tool control.lua bug

20190103: 0.0.4: 0.17 low-density-structure costs now a separate recipe (to avoid breaking resource consumption of existing bases) and removed LDS unlock from rocket-silo tech (redundant)
20190103: 0.0.3: productivity support, chems now output 2
20190101: 0.0.2: spelling
