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

17 days 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
Sincerely Mikro

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
