Hi, i'm trying to disable plate compression tech, but when i do, i get an error after reloading:

Failed to load mods: Error in assignID: item with name 'compressed-iron' does not exist.

Source: smelt-compressed-iron-ore (recipe)
Mods to be disabled: * SimpleCompress (2.0.8)

I also tried to reset mod config, and it works for launching the mod, but it enables the plate compression tech again.

Thanks for your time

I notice there is a logical mistake here, it's paradoxical that it is possible to smelt but not able to decompress compressed plates or steel, if plates tech is disabled. I think what i'll do is auto-enable the plates tech if smelting is selected. The settings menu might not reflect that live though. I think smelting toggle can remain though.

Also i'm moving the smelting recipes to ore tech. .. or i was going to but now that i think about it, that's not wise thing to do.

I tried to disable it since the new updates kinda screwed my base setup. I remember i could directly smelt compressed ores into x20 plates or something, instead of compressed plates.

I'm going for different approach, i'll not auto-enable plate tech when just ore and smelting are on, but i'll smelt them into uncompressed items instead. This will take some time but should be tonight still.
Of course smelting tech also requires ores, currently if smelting is enabled it should just not do anything if it's not on. I should probably doublecheck what happens if ore tech is disabled while plates is on xD

It should be fixed in just uploaded version, i had a try with all options and didn't notice any recipe balance issues anymore. If plates are enabled it will smelt ore into compressed plates, otherwise regular plates. I still feel they are handier output to deal with. It's slightly more elegant code to deal with now also.

It works perfectly now, thanks for your time, you saved me many hours :))

I noticed support for Space Age seems to be lacking the same behavior with lithium plates. It doesn't crash but it only adds smelting recipe if all 3 toggles are on. I can change that too and lump up the Krastorio 2 in there as well. Little lower priority in my time table though, will see when this comes out :p
