Modpack Band-Aid Fixes

Version: 0.2.0
Factorio: 2.1
Author: penguin71

A small set of fixes and tweaks I made for my own modpack: Krastorio 2, Industrial Ascension, Muluna, Fluid Must Flow and friends. Each part has its own startup setting, so you can turn off anything you don't want. Every mod listed below is optional. Each fix only does something when the mod it targets is installed.

What it does

1. Transformer station unlock fix

Industrial Ascension + Krastorio 2

Both mods define a technology called "Electric energy distribution 3". Krastorio 2 loads later and replaces it, which removes the unlock for Industrial Ascension's Transformer station, so the station can never be built. This mod adds a new Transformer station technology with the original cost and prerequisites:

• 500 × automation, logistic, chemical, production and coulomb science, 45 s each
• Requires Electric energy distribution 2 and Coulomb science pack

The fix checks whether any technology already unlocks the recipe and switches itself off if one does. Once the original mods fix the conflict, it stops doing anything.

2. Muluna rocket lift

Muluna + PlanetsLib

Normal rocket silos lift only 2 t on Muluna. This raises them to at least 5 t (adjustable from 1 to 1000 t). Silos that already lift more, like Muluna's big rocket silo (10 t there), are left alone.

3. Custom belt speeds per tier

Sets the throughput of each belt tier, in items per second (both lanes together):

This applies to belts, underground belts, splitters, lane splitters, loaders and linked belts from every mod. Each one is matched to a tier by its current speed, so loaders from AAI Loaders, Loaders Modernized and others follow the belt tier they match. Every tier's speed can be changed in the startup settings.

4. Unlimited Fluid Must Flow ducts

Removes the 1000-tile "pipeline over-extended" limit on Fluid Must Flow duct networks.

Compatibility

Optional support for:

• Industrial Ascension
• Krastorio 2 and Krastorio 2 Spaced Out
• PlanetsLib and Muluna
• Fluid Must Flow
• Loaders Modernized (+ integrations) and AAI Loaders
• Belt Balancer Planner
• Maraxsis

You can add it to an existing save. If the Transformer station technology is already researched, the recipe is unlocked automatically when the save loads.

Notes

These are band-aids, not proper fixes. If you're the author of one of the affected mods and fix the conflict on your side, let me know and I'll remove that part. Bug reports and suggestions are welcome.
