Amator Phasma's Coal & Steam (forked)

by ldinc

This mod revisits the early game of Factorio and pushes the electrification a bit further back by extending the Burner-Stage and inserting a new stage: Steam-Stage (buildings will be powered by steam).

b Compatibility Request for Bob Angel's Crushing Recipes and Machines

18 days ago

Hi again, I wanted to reach out to you in regard to Basic, Steam, and Electric Crushers from APM. I was doing some testing with the Ore Crusher from Angel's mod, comparing both crushers since they both share the same recipes, except for two major issues. APM's crushers have Ore Sorting Facility recipes and other recipes from Angel's, which should not be the case due to Angel's mod needing specific structures to manage those recipes. I attached Four images to showcase the Normal Recipe that it should have, versus the Wrong Recipe it currently has. Angel's should be the only to manage those recipes.

Second, I wanted your input in regard to balancing. Currently, the Electric Crusher from APM, and the Ore Crusher 1 from Angel's mod, are nearly identical. There are Pollution and Electricity consumption differences for both, but they both have the same crafting speed set to 1.5, same recipes available, and are both unlockable at the same stage of electricity. Here's what I'm thinking, removing Angel's mod recipes from the Electric Crusher APM, that way only the Ore crushers from Angel's can handle those recipes. It'll keep the Electric Crusher from APM on only those recipes from its APM mod.

Essentially it would be like this -

APM Mod: Basic Crusher (as is) --> Steam Crusher (as is) --> Ore Crusher 1 (From Angel's mod) for Angel's recipes.

The Basic Crusher and Steam Crusher recipes from APM are fine as is, since Angel's isn't unlocked until electricity stage is researched, its just the Electric Crusher from APM that makes the Ore Crusher 1 kind of obsolete. I'm not asking to remove the Electric Crusher from APM, just the Angel's recipes that are available in the Electric Crusher from APM to be removed. Unless, do you have other suggestions for balancing out the APM Electric Crusher against the Ore Crusher from Angel's mod?

I'm not sure how possible that is to make this change, but if you need more information or testing, or if you are confused, let me know and I'll try and provide more pictures or details.
