Balanced Waterfill

by Kabinet

Adds a more balanced counterpart to other, popular waterfill mods. Keeps buildings, spidertrons, cliffs, and other entities safe from being destroyed by waterfill, while still letting you use offshore pumps wherever you like. Highly configurable, and fully compatible with several popular mods including Space Exploration and Cargo Ships. Walkable to prevent you from making impenetrable defenses.

I tested this mod against other waterfill mod.
The waterfill provided by this mod don't integrate well with the terrain! It's totally square. The other mod is much nicer with rounded corners!

The water in left is generated by "Safe Waterfill" (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/safefill) and in the right is generated by this mod!

Thanks.

Could you share a modlist, as well as the save if possible? The waterfill from my mod functions fine with safefill installed. I suspect it is an incompatibility with some other mod in what is clearly a heavily modded save that you have.

Here is how it looks on my end. https://imgur.com/a/7HYFJHO (Safe waterfill on the left, Balanced waterfill on the right)

Just as a note, it may also not be a good idea to run two waterfill mods at the same time, it could break something.

My mod list: https://pastebin.com/tiYzyXTJ
I'm using a lot of mods, and several of them have changes I made locally. I think that I need to send to you my entire personal folder for that to work!

I'm thinking that the problem could be with the mod 'NiceFill' (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/nicefill). I will test later without that mod to see if it works.

I'm not planning using both waterfill mods... I was thinking in replacing 'Safefill' with this one, that appears to be less cheaty. I want to test it first! I will test removing the 'safefill' too!

Other mod that could impact, I think, is 'Alien Biomes'! I will test it here too...

Thanks.

I tested here and the incompatibility appears to be with Alien Biomes!

Thanks for reporting this (You were right, alien biomes was the issue), I have solved it on my end, but havent had the time to test with your extensive mod list. I can however send you a zip file containing the update, to see if it works for you.

Feel free to report any other issues and I will try my best to see them resolved!

Thanks for the update! I tested and this version works here...
Bui I will probably continue to use the mod 'safefill'. I find out that I can disable deep water, than the mod don't become overpowered...
Other advantage is that I can walk in the shallow water provided by the 'safefill'.
I also added other mod that enable I build rail and large electric poles on water... I can build above the water created by the mod 'safefill', but not above the water provided by this mod!

Thanks.
