i Support for Bob's Logistics mod

3 years ago

I've been using this mod during various playthroughs and I love it.
However when using Bob's Logistics mod (which adds 2 more belt tiers after Express) I have to stop using Extended Range.
Would it be possible to include support for these 2 extra belt tiers as well?
- Turbo (purple), 60 items / sec
- Ultimate (green), 75 items / sec

Even though the max length of underground belts increases with throughput, the max length of an Ultimate underground belt is 23 whilst extended range does 36

There are quite a few mods that add extra belts, but Bob's is rather popular (and I've even played it!) so I'll see what I can do.
I'm seeing 20 for Turbo and 25 for Ultimate. Applying my normal numbers Turbo MR would be 40, LR would be 80, Ultimate would be 50/100.

Do you use the longer range pipes at all?

Ok added. Try it out.

The main reason I would love to have the Ultimate extra long belts is that I can use the upgrade planner to upgrade all existing express/turbo belts I have to Ultimate without having manually re-do all the tunnels and to re-calculate tunnel length. So for me (but thats personal) the range doesn't have to be proportionally increased when going higher than Express, but that's up to you! I certainly wouldn't mind being able to build even longer tunnels!

And yes, I use the longer range pipes all the time. Works wonders, thanks for your work

Whoa that was quick! I just updated the mod and I'm able to upgrade the Extra long Express underground belts to Extra long Ultimate underground belts!
Thanks a lot!

I do think there's something wrong with the icons now... when editting my Upgrade blueprint, the icons for the Medium and Long underground belts seem, awkward. See: https://pasteboard.co/JPPahZ8.png

Hmm, that's strange. I'll look into that today. I did update the icons to be 64x64 so it must be related to that.
