i Krastorio2 support?

4 years ago

Hi!
Nice mod!
But it doesn't work with Krastorio2 mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Krastorio2).
Is it possible to do something? :)
Thank you!

P.S. May it be helpful? https://mods.factorio.com/mod/WellPlanner

Thanks! I feel a bit silly now. I was looking for exactly such a mod, but was not able to find it. So made my own, instead. Now it turns out it exists already. That one is pretty new, too, by the looks of it. No wonder I couldn't find it.

I'm very inexperienced with mods (this is my first). I don't know if I'm able to make it work with other mods. Knowing that other mod exists, I might just stop mine. I'll think about it.

Well, I prefer your mod because of

P.U.M.P. selection tool available for the shortcut bar.

I can't use Well Planner because of Shortcuts mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Shortcuts) conflict.
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/WellPlanner/discussion/5e76748dfd4574000b7e1047:

Just craft the Well Planner from the crafting menu. Right-click on the Well Planner item in your inventory to edit the settings.

VS

When a shortcut is autogenerated, or officially added in Shortcuts mod, the planner item will be no longer craftable (free through the shortcut), becomes hidden from the technology effects, and can no longer be stored in inventories.

I'll see what I can do. If nothing else; it's good practice for if I ever make another mod. :-)

As I don't actually play Krastorio myself, would you mind providing a save file where you stand next to an field you wish to use P.U.M.P. but is not working. It'd save me a ton of time setting the test up.

Ok. Here it is.

There are 2 kinds of resource spots: mineral water and oil.
And there're 2 kinds of pumps: mineral water pump and oil pump.
Thank you!)
They're all nearby and pointed by inserters.

That's a lot of mods active there! I had to disable 1 mod, though (Resource Map Marker). But I assume that one is not going to be critical for P.U.M.P. to work. So, I'll give it a go. If I make any progress I'll let you know here.

Thank you!
Sorry, I didn't disable other mods.
Only Krastorio2 compatibility needed. :)
