factorio 16.20 changes layer names, causing endgame combat to throw error: ground_patch_higher2 (and all the others) have been renamed to: ground-patch-higher2 (or similar, using hyphens instead of underscores) per factorio's release notes on bugfixes and modding on version 16.20.

will there be a fix for the update? Don't reaky want to play with out this mod

Go open the zip file and look for prototypes/orbital.lua. Open that file in a text editor and search and replace "ground_patch_higher" with "ground-patch-higher". Should be one place, save and then the mod should work.

This might be out of place, but I'd like to thank usafphoenix for his comment. Yesterday, thanks to him, I did what OldPapa just mentioned and got back into my game.

Error ModManager.cpp:1023: Error while loading entity prototype "orbital-bombardment-crater" (corpse): Unknown layer name: ground_patch_higher2

search above, sp518, it's an easy fix.

usafphoenix, OldPapa Thanks for making the post, and giving noobs like me easy solution. Works like a clock.

Sorry - but this mod has so much errors ...
I fixed already 3 errors - but after a new one pop on - I delete this bullshit mod:

something like this one does not exist (prototypes/rangeturrets) in Line 109:
"at-cannon-turret-mk1-rangeboost-1-rangeboost-1" wtf?

kolungate, your error message is incomplete and therefore cannot be successfully diagnosed, nor did you provide any additional information customary/helpful to mod authors who do work hard to make mods such as these (and your error doesn't appear related to the topic this thread is on, which is an api change which caused a very specific, easy to fix error.

and you're welcome pavluschencij
