Hi M.Cocko,
Just tried 0.18 and updated the mod to 1.3.1 and got the startup error of this missing file: __base__/graphics/entity/electric-mining-drill/hr-electric-mining-drill-N-wet-fluid-background-front.png
I saw your last update was about a missing file so I'm guessing that's a different one
I've searched the mod files and indeed this name file is not there, It could be something else but doubt it as it only is a missing file, but to be thorough, I haven't tried to check if works as standalone but only with other mods so maybe one of them is interfering.
The error shown is disabling also Squeak Through (1.8.0) and bobmining (0.18.3)
Hope that I helped and thanks for your time making this really good mod mate!
EDIT:
I thought when I saw the file path that the __base__
referring to the base path of the mod and not the base path of factorio so from further investigation I believe that lots of the graphic files have changed in factorio in 0.18 and it happens some of them to be used here from 0.17, so probably that's what causing it.
