Space Exploration + Bob's Enemies icon fix


Fixes the startup error "Key icon not found" in Space Exploration's biter capsules when Space Exploration and Bob's Enemies are used together. The enemies will only spawn on Nauvis, as per SE default settings (treat_missing_as_default = false). Safe to add to existing save, but will regenerate the spawners.

Fixes a startup error when Space Exploration and Bob's Enemies are used together:

Error while loading item prototype "se-capsule-se-biter-friend" (capsule): Key "icon" not found

The problem

Bob's Enemies redefines the vanilla biters and spitters with a layered icon list and no single icon.
Space Exploration builds the icons of its biter and spitter capsules, their projectiles and their technologies from the single icon of those units, which is now missing.

The fix

The vanilla-named biters and spitters get a fallback icon, taken from the first layer of their Bob's Enemies icon.
Their layered icons take precedence, so the units look exactly as before.
This only fixes the icon error.

  • No new items, recipes or entities.
  • Safe to add to an existing save.

Temporary

This mod is a stopgap until Space Exploration or Bob's Enemies handles this itself. Once one of them does, you can remove this mod.
