b Incompatibility with "No Lava in Pipes" Mod

6 days ago
(updated 6 days ago)

This mod looks really interesting, but I currently cannot use it in my playthrough because it collides with the No Lava in Pipes mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/NoLavaInPipes

The main reason is because both mods try to define the "lava-pump" entity & item.
I would make a PR to address this, but it seems the GitHub link for this mod doesn't work, it takes me to a 404 page. I know this isn't high priority because the "No Lava in Pipes" mod is still 2.0 only (I personally changed my downloaded copy to be 2.1 compatible), so if it's not something you wish to fix, then may I suggest directly specifying that it's incompatible?

PS: If you wish, I could also write up a PR for this mod that introduces compatibility with a few other mods such as K2SO, Nuclear Science, and others. I'd just need the GitHub repo to be public - entirely up to you.

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback and for the kind words about the mod — I really appreciate it.

You're right about the collision: both Rustara and No Lava in Pipes define the lava-pump entity/item, which causes the conflict. I already have a clear plan for how to adjust Rustara's prototypes to avoid this, and I'll publish a new version within the next 24 hours. I'll also test it against No Lava in Pipes before releasing.

Sorry about the GitHub 404 — I'll fix that link as well. I'm planning to make the repo public so issues and PRs can actually be opened.

I'd definitely welcome PRs for compatibility with K2SO, Nuclear Science, and other mods. Once the repo is up, feel free to open one, or I can ping you when it's ready.

Thanks again for your support and for offering to help — it means a lot.
