hello

mod looks fun. but i got an error while also running Thekingjo - bulldozer- mod. something about the organized tech not being able to find an ammo index for the bulldozer.

if I turn off either the bulldozer mod or RP warfare, no problems. i got a screenshot of the error. but i dont know how to post it in here

Here's the screenshot you posted on my Discord

@raspberrypuppies could you make your mod check if a gun has a weapon category in the first place? That would fix this problem.

oh thanks. I didn't know how to do that.

I believe the organized warfare part can be disabled but I haven't tested it in ages. Try booting it up without the other mod, turn it off, then add it.

the organized warfare is responisble for the UI being neatly organized i believe? I do like it because i have al lot of mods active. thus the bulldozer not working is a minor thing.

thanks for your reply. the turrets and all look very cool. I discovered your mod by installing light artillery from snipsnip. the art was yours. looks very modern. then i read into your mod and voila.

Yeah, organized warfare sorts everything. I got really frustrated trying to do it manually.

I'm honestly pretty surprised that Factorio even lets you define a gun without ammo. I thought it would blow up at load.

Thank you for the compliments. I bought the original 3D models as a kind of kit and then assembled and rendered them. It turned out to be a much bigger undertaking than I bargained for.

The next update will add a high-tech Tesla turret that will basically require a nuclear reactor to run. So get excited

I understand. I have 183 mods installed. planes, trains, enemies, rescourses. running an KS2/SE/ BZ game now. and all the things were all over the place. but now i find it almost perfectly organised.

so don't worry about the bulldozer thing. You did a really great job with the artstyle you use. it stands out of the usual factorio art, but in a very good way.
Its my son of 5 who likes fighting the biters. so I try to find fun ways to do so.

When im finally done automating military tech ( big elekctronic parts build...) , im going to automate your turrets.

I can see in my build mode the recepies are not too complicated for the first tiers so that's a nice balance you made.

ah nuclear. never got to the piont i needed one. i have 1200 hours and one rocket launch. and that was with SE where you could do it with just blue science.
but not anymore.

if there is a way to support you let me know. can't do much. bad stroke of luck with basiclly everthing. but im going to have fun with your mod.

so, thank you again.

Honestly comments like this are all I need.

Making mods is very impersonal and it often feels like I'm doing it for no one. I just see a number for "total downloads" and that's it. I don't know what people think of it or hear any of their stories about the mod. I want to set up a mailing list or forum or something to make it a little less lonely.

Thank you for your story. It's heartwarming to know there's a kid fighting biters with their parents with this mod.

maybe a discord channel is a solution? with an invite? or instagram?

i would share my stories with you if you like that. my last comment was supposed to be a short one but when i get excited, i cant stop telling about it. thank you ADHD for it :).

i love factorio and what the people like you can do with it. im no super builder, complex setups are really challenging to me, yet i try my best to make it all work. i have restarted over more an a dozen times.

but mods like yours bring a good thing to a great game, that is a big thing considering factorio is almost perfect. you make it fresh and interesting after 1200 hours. if you pass a mirror, you can say to yourself : well done.

hello again.

saw your recent update. looks cool. is there any other way to contact you? maybe when I get my turrtes automated and a nice defense with your turrets I could sceernshot sent you?

The bug is fixed on my machine. I also added two ways for mod-authors to override my organization.

-- Two ways for overriding the generated output
-- Puts it in the 'foo' category
--data.raw['gun']['kj_bulldozer_gun'].organized_warfare_category = 'foo'
-- Skips the entity entirely
--data.raw['car']['kj_bulldozer'].organized_warfare_ignore = true

I'll set up an official factorio thread in a little bit. I'm getting very close to finishing everything I set out to do with this mod (and some other stuff I didn't plan on). But it's not happening this week thanks to holidays + work schedule.

Oh. Ill try it on my machine in a while. I added a lot of other mods mainly ERM stuff.

I understand. take your time. no rush. thanks for telling me.
good luck with all of it.

thank you. its working on mine too. you are awesome.
