Smoother Start Addon


Smoother start for Bob's Angel's Mods and Electric Furnaces by changing yellow-loader and electric-stone-furnace recipes to basic-circuit-board instead of basic-electronic-circuit-board. Thus, allowing you to start a game and set-up the first line of production in a smoother fashion. Need bobelectronics

g Dependency error on startup in this mod or mod's description

7 years ago

Angel's Mods (one or more of them) is/are not listed as a hard dependency in this mod's description yet the game crashes if they aren't installed, returning this error:
Failed to load mod "smoother-start 0.0.5"
smoother-start/data.lua:1: attempt to index global 'angelsmods' (a nil value)

I looked in this mod's data.lua, and I see what you're trying to do (adding recipes depending on which mods are installed) however the way you did it makes the game crash if angel's logistics isn't installed.
I don't know how to code for Factorio specifically, so unfortunately I can't tell you exactly what is wrong with the mod, but the basic logic makes sense to me.

I do appreciate the things this mod is trying to do and (it might make me actually use bob's electronics instead of "all bobs mods except electronics" like I am now) but in its current state it's not useful to me. I'll be keeping tabs on it and wait for the day when the dependency checking error is worked out.

Thanks, this is fixed in 0.0.6 by changing the internal condition on items and not in mod presence.
now if they are a "loader" or "electric-stone-furnace" in the game the recipe change as intended.
