Greetings! My apologies if you ran into any bugs. If you could please describe any issue in detail and post any screenshots or error messages, I will look into it and fix asap. Thanks for playing!

the game is so buggy but the main one that really confuses/annoys me was stuff like things disappearing because the timing was off? I'm not really sure but if an inserter wasn't constantly moving it would just delete the items it tried to move also I can't progress to get biology packs because it just isn't a crafting recipe. theres a few more but there less relevan

Could you provide some screenshots of the issues you were experiencing? I wasn't able to reproduce them  on my end. The biology pack is indeed a crafting recipe... you have to unlock it through research, and also unlock its pre-requisite research first.

I was trying to get back to that point rq so I could show you a screenshot but then I got this again

Thanks for the screenshot,  and what were the events leading up to the crash?

I'm not really sure i was just playing the game and it crashed mid-placing I think a conveyor? btw I have a screenshot of the original problem now.

If you can send the screenshot, then I'll take a look as soon as I can. Thanks for reporting!

so in this specific case i have an inserter going to a box and then another inserter taking from the box into an underground tunnel, however the second inserter isn't taking anything for some reason, it just empties the box.

P.S I have discovered that the crafting materials needed for something randomly changes, sometimes crafting a furnace costs 2 stone sometimes 10 and sometimes 5

I have found yet another bug, when a tiles "runs out" of material to mine this pops up


I was trying to divide some coal to put in alll my furnaces so it could cook in multiple furnaces but then this popped up

It crashed when I placed a spliter at the end of an underground belt, I lost the error message when I went here though. But good game! I think the biggest thing to me so far is that finding an area that has all the main resources close by is not easy

I think it is impossible to get the biology science pack, I got all other researches, did you leave it out or something?

To be honest, I've been heavily invested in another game project for some time now, and haven't had the will to maintain this game, unfortunately. I do appreciate you taking the time to report the bugs.

As far as I'm aware the biology pack should be unlockable under normal circumstances, as I've tested the entire research tree to completion multiple times. However, due to possible bugs somewhere in the game logic, there may be a situation where the biology pack requirements somehow get corrupted or otherwise soft locked. My apologies, I can understand how frustrating it must be to get so far and lose your progress. I will try to look into the bugs when I get time, but honestly I might forget or put it off. Feel free to look through the source code on GitHub, if you find any specific issues Id be happy to approve a pull request. It's all coded in lua, which if you know any programming is a very easy language to learn. Thanks for playing and bug reporting 馃檹

Okay, I never used lua before but it is readable enough that I could try to work out a fix or at least a temporary one.
