Spaceblock


Who wants to go planetside? It's dirty and disgusting, doesn't support engineer life, and has an unpleasant smell. Why not instead grow the factory from orbit?

b Void chest crash

2 months ago

This mod provides a way to make holes in the platform it would be a good replacement for a void chest.(I've been using this mod from the start and never had issues with it)
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/spaceship-hole-induction-tool

Also after the update I get a crash
Failed to load mods: Error while loading recipe prototype "void-chest" (recipe): Value must be a dictionary in property tree at ROOT.recipe.void-chest.ingredients[0] Modifications: Void Chest+ > Spaceblock
Mods to be disabled:
• VoidChestInstant (2.7.1)
yunrus-space-block (1.4.8)

Oh my... I sure do "complain" a lot. I've never been this invested in a mod :D

(Presuming you're on windows) try going to AppData\Roaming\Factorio\mods and deleting "yunrus-space-block_1.4.8" and then redownloading the mod. I can only assume it corrupted somehow, I can't reproduce it.

As a secondary request could you turn mods that are not essential for Spaceblock to function into optional ones?

Mods like:
-Disable_vanilla_spoilage, let-me-laser-down-asteroids, nixie-tubes, textplates, Sane-Concrete-2, simplified-thrusters - are something I'd love to see optional
-belt-visualizer, smooth_platform_walls, visible-planets - are purely cosmetic, but still very good mods that everyone would keep so they can stay forced
-space-platform-graveyard - has little use since you have one platform
-Even Pickier Dollies- is a utility mod and it makes things too easy
-Rocs-Improved-Platform-Drag - this one is just preference, over all an improvement over vanilla

What I'm saying is you made a good modpack that alters base game significantly but also makes it way too easy(spoilage, lasers, thrusters) and forces unnecesary mods(nixie tubes, textplates, sane concrete,Even Pickier Dollies) on the user

I don't say that your choice of mods is wrong but
-forcing a player to install, load and deal with clutter caused by nixie-tubes and textplates is annoying
-Sane-Concrete-2 has no use after getting a foundry or scraping on fulgora and before that there is no reason to make concrete anyway
-Disable_vanilla_spoilage and let-me-laser-down-asteroids takes away a lot of challange and with that fun
-Even Pickier Dollies is something that will be used by a tiny portion of the players most likely only those who already use it in other saves

All of this being said I will be first to admit that I sanitize my mods and keep modlists an short as possible. I love to remove any and all features that have no impact on the gameplay to optimise performance, even if it is not needed.

I brought this up because I intend to localy modify your mod to remove restrictions on installed mods. If I have this many complaints and am willing to go this far to resolve them than there's a good chance a regular player will have one or two themself. Also it would be a pain to do this every update;)

I'd like to remind that I love your mod and my criticism is purely out of my passion for this project.

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk

I've deleted and reinstalled the mod and I still get this crash on launch

Hopefully fixed it, please let me know. I'm unable to produce it myself so I can't exactly verify.

Yeah, seems to work now on the latest version. If anything happens again I'll grab a log

Reinstalling solved the issue, if you want it I have my copy in the trashbin and can send it over but I don't think there is any need to debug this

Thank you for making nixie tubes nad textplates optional
