Any hope for an update? Thank you in advance!

I did the heavy lifting of a reply in https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AssemblerUPSGrade/discussion/671bc38c398eaae0ab23ff64 but here's the short version. Maybe, but I'm going to beat Space Age first. Then decide if I want to keep playing. This mod is a huge QoL for me (as running flame turrets around my base is tedious). So it'd be one of the first to get a 2.0 version. That being said, I ship the source code with all my mods so that 1) I am not standing in the way of someone else's fun 2) people have an incentive to learn a new skill / improve themselves. Much of my life came from teaching myself things. A spirit from an older version of the internet, where tinkering was a right of passage.

Now I know why it doesn't want to be loaded. The property base_picture is only available to artillery, not torrents anymore:

1.1:

Latest 2.x:

Looking forward to the Factorio 2.0. update for this mod.

The receipt lua script must be changed:
- "ingredients" now can no longer be a short-hand array, it must always be a full-blown dictionary with {type="foo", name="bar", amount=x} for each ingredient
- result + result_amount (or so?) is now combined into same dictionary as am ingredient is: {type="item, name="my-item-mk2", amount=1}

That's so far what I have done with this mod.

any news on an update for this mod?

I'm still chasing down one last achievement before I start playing with mods. So...however long it takes to brute force legendary mech armor + all modules.

That said, laser turrets aren't super useful late game like they were in vanilla. Tesla Turrets seem to be the main jam for keeping a base safe. GPLs would only be useful on space platforms, as a way to avoid needing to build bullets. I'm not completed closed to the idea of updating this mod, but I don't see it as high priority since the Tesla Turrets seem to do the same fundamental job as GPLs did (create a defense that no biter can break). I'm welcome to hear other use cases I might not be considering.

there are people who play without space age and that would mean no tesla turrets use with turret filters gpl can quickly clear out the tiny munchers that slip by instead of drawling the attention of every gun laser and flame thrower in range also theres a mod called swarmagedon big bugs break into mediums and mediums into swarms of small bugs the short rage rapid fire laser turret is a great help with the fodder and leaves the uranium ammo in gun turrets to handle the rest i cant argue with the mod being more or less useless in late game vanilla but thats not just space age its very high resurch cost made it kina meh if its the only mod in use even more so with space age dlc sadly swarmagedon seems lik it might b abandoned if u decide ur not gona update it can u hand the mod off to somebody else to maintain it realy sucks when great mods are left to die

...oh, right. That would be a good reason. As for the mod being left to die, I gave out the source code. Anyone can take it and make it work. It's what got me into modding; looking at other people's mods and figuring out how they worked. That said, I do plan to make youtube videos as I update my mods to explain the process. Since I can't find any good tutorials that aren't super long.

Hi. I regret to inform you that I will not be updating this mod, or any other, ever again. Why? Because on the Factorio forums a post I made was moderated out of existence. This post replied to a personal insult from another user, which was allowed to stand. If my voice is going to be taken away in self defense, and my attacker allowed to persist, even for 30 minutes, I will not help these bastards sell more copies of their game. End of story. I am sorry you have to suffer, but I refuse to be an abuse victim, and silencing someone after they get attacked? That's abuse.

Can you then transfer ownership to me? I can maintain this mod a bit longer.
