b Unwanted behavior with Bob's Modules mod

8 years ago

Bob's modules adds a new type of lab, which requires its own items instead of the usual science packs. As soon as I unlock that lab and the corresponding research, the Auto research mod will prioritize those since they start off requiring only 25 items. It would be nice if I could somehow exclude those techs until I'm ready to research them.

If the mod can determine it can't research those techs, perhaps because I haven't built any Modules labs, that would be even more awesome!

Thanks for making this great mod :D

Hi there!

Thanks for letting me know. I haven't used Bob's modules myself, but I'll take a a look at this as soon as I have the time. I'm going on vacation in a little less than a week, hopefully I can figure out something here before I leave.

Pitching out an idea before I forget it:
It's slightly difficult to implement a way for the mod to know when it should start researching technologies that require these modules. So instead I'm thinking of letting the user decide, for example by adding another shortcut (like Shift+T for enabling/disabling AR, but rather for enabling/disabling technologies that require something else than the normal science packs).
It's not a perfect solution, but it should be fairly easy to implement and should solve many problems that may arise with other mods extending research by adding other types of ingredients.

Sure, manually enabling the modules research is fine with me.

I've implemented shortcut Control+T that enables/disables research of "non-standard research recipes" (basically this means research that use other ingredients than SP1-3 and Alien SP). By default such technologies will not be researched.
This should prevent the unique technologies added by Bob's Modules from being researched until you're ready for it and press Control+T.

Works like a charm, thank you!
