Grand Unified Factorio Theory


Unified equipment grids, smarter ore spawning, better integration of mods, and much more. Make rare ores actually rare. Make belt tiers beyond 2 meaningful. Put equipment from any (supported) mod into any (supported) armor or vehicle, or even just allow player equipment in vehicles. Remove barrel logistics entirely. Plus many more things I can't fit in this summary. And every gameplay-altering effect can be toggled in settings.

i Miniloader and GUFT

1 year, 6 months ago

Miniloader support with custom belt speed setting on currently does not automatically change the speed of any loaders to the updated belt speeds. At low tier, the miniloaders are faster than standard which is workable but if you have Bob's Logistics when they add the higher tiers the newer belts are almost double the speed of the miniloaders.

Looking around in the files, it looks like the Miniloaders is supposed to run a data-updates.lua to catch any belt speed changes by looking up the underground speeds done in any other mods data.lua, but there is a few issues with this implementation (mostly because of how GUFT modifies the belt speeds in the data-final-fixes)

Is there anyway to have compatibility added to Miniloaders for changing their speeds too (overwriting their own method possibly? From testing I can't actually get their way of updating speeds to work at all, either by changing load order of belt speed modifications or just attempting to hardcode speeds in)

I have also noticed that the loader mods below do not conform to GUFT's Changes to the belt system.
- Miniloader 15 - 90
- Deadlock's Stacking Beltboxes & Compact loaders (with Deadlock-Mod Integrations) 15 - 90
- Loader Redux (with Loader Redux for Bob's Logistics) 15 - 90
- AAI Loaders (with AAI Loaders: Bob's Mods) 15 - 90

Whats very interesting is that the mod Vanilla Loaders which includes bobs mod support does work! Everything except for Basic Loader (15) is at the proper belt speed of 20 to 160.

Other notes
- Running Vanilla Loaders and Loader Redux together removes all Loader Redux loaders except for Purple and Green.
- Schall Belt Configuration can change speeds of Deadlock's loaders.

Hope some of this is useful to you, thank you for the work that you do.
