Extended Vanilla: Mining & Drills


Adds multiple new tiers of drills, big drills and pumpjacks through the game progression, fully customizable. Also a lategame structure is added: the quarry drill. It can mine resources without an ore patch. Recipes are modified by some mods such as Krastorio 2, AAI and Ev Refining.

Hello. The game gives an error when loading the game:
Не удалось загрузить следующие моды: Error in assignID: technology with name 'kr-electric-mining-drill-mk3' does not exist. It was removed by Krastorio2-spaced-out.

At ROOT.technology.electric-mining-drill-mk5.prerequisites[3]

Source: electric-mining-drill-mk5 (technology).

Yesterday, I wrote to you in another mod...
The problem is still in Krastorio 2... And its iterations, Kr2SO...

Something like this.

Hi man (again)
Yeah yeah, I'm also aware of this.

I've prioritized the porting in vanilla 2.1.
Now makes sense to port also the K2 compatibility.

I also wanted to know why the mod wouldn't load.

Не удалось загрузить следующие моды: ev-mining-drills/prototypes/mods/krastorio2.lua:149: attempt to index field 'ev-quarry' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
ev-mining-drills/prototypes/mods/krastorio2.lua:149: in main chunk
[C]: in function 'require'
ev-mining-drills/data.lua:31: in main chunk

I'm just disabling the mod: Extended Vanilla: Refining.

It's marked as recommended... And it turns out that you can play without it...
But for some reason, the game doesn't load without it...
