Hello SpaceOmega,

Love the idea of this Mod, but im not a Bobs/Angels player at all, so I've taken up the idea of forking the mod to make it purely vanilla compatible. My first ever go at modding a factorio mod!

I've gotten pretty far with it so far, removed all the dependencies, rejigged how starting science works and the mod loads up and looks ready to run. All I've got to do now is sort out the recipes/techs and give it a play test.

If you don't mind, would it be ok for me to keep the forked version as close to yours as possible? I know theres still abit to be done on the graphics side of things, which I may even have a go at, at some point.

Once its in a good state I'd then stick it on the Mod portal for others to play with if this all sounds good?

was looking forward to using this with vanilla, hope you allow this

It would be neat to get a vanilla version. I considered it but the only reason I haven't is because I feel like vanilla lacks a whole variety of items and complexity compared to bobs/angels mods. If you want to have a go at making an alternate version feel free!

I just hope you can decipher and get your head around the overly complex config+recipe thing I've done. It works for me but I feel like it's way to over the top for it's own good :p

I suppose just upload it when you've got everything sorted. Good luck!

I'd be interested in seeing some graphics though. I've been working on designing machines but have been busy with uni so I haven't had too much time to do anything substantial.

In your description, you state "This mod is best used with angels and bobs." This sounds like it takes advantage of these mod suites, but they are not required, which is not the case. (It is with these expectations that I downloaded this mod.)

To prevent such confusion, i would suggest using more concise wording in your descriptions, such as "This mod requires angels and bobs." Then if there are some aspects of those suites that are not utilized they can be listed.

Hey SpaceOmega,

Thanks for the go ahead!

It has been a bit of a head scratcher, but think I've got a handle on it now. I've finished up "rough" science and hopefully balanced black science, still a ways to go on it though.

I've started playing around with graphics, but again, thats also its own headache, making steps though.

It'll be a while yet till its ready to go, though I'll keep plugging away at it :D

Yeah, it takes a little getting used too, but I hope to try and improve the beginning stages just to make the mod easier to get started as well as try and let the player get an idea of how the whole thing works.
