Interesting.
Currently i have nor the time nor the wlll for Factorio. Probably will be back after SE public release, trying to move and integrate content from scratch.

Continue, you have my support and permission granted.

Assimilating.
The god in the wire has named an agreement—adding fuel to the fire sanctions the blade to cut, but one eye will remain to observe gravity.

Now, the future erupts in perfect static.

Still using that chuunibyou Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort style speech.

Though, i think it means you are all right?

Btw, what's done and what's plans?

He struck a match to catch a fish so he could remember how to fly—bleeding casts illumination on disorder so the shadows can touch your peace.

Btw, thanks for gaia reforge code, made it actually work on my version of ESI.

Suspect the root issue is that Gaia is a deepcopy without a planet_map_gen function.

Looking at other planets they're written as:

local planet_map_gen = require("base/prototypes/planet/planet-map-gen")
planet_map_gen.vulcanus = function()
return
{
property_expression_names =
{
...etc

From space-age/prototypes/planet/planet-map-gen.lua

Hmm, thats a point. Though, Gaia appeared broken only some ppl, never encountered it myself.

But you are right, scanned over latest mods and they use wrappers like that, not directly deepcopying mapgen:

local planet_map_gen = require("space-age/prototypes/planet/planet-map-gen")

planet_map_gen.planetname = function ()
local map_gen_setting = table.deepcopy(data.raw.planet.nauvis.map_gen_settings)
-- modify map_gen_setting.autoplace_settings["tile"] for example
return map_gen_setting
end

return planet_map_gen
