IIRC you can buy them from the Awesome Shop
I'm so dum:feynoooo:
brand new problem synthetic overlocking overwrote the somersloop and the power shard in the shop
what do I do now
Uninstall synthetic overclocking?
you can always reinstall it later, and it's tier 9 so I doubt you're using it yet
problem
if I don't use it it crashes the game the moment I try to load any save that had it even if I never even got them
like if I uninstall it or even pause it
@AniMouse that seems interesting?!
In the meantime, you could use a cheat mod to grant yourself the mercer spheres needed to unlock that milestone
the problem is the somersloop and the power shards since synthetic doesn't give mercer balls
and it also messes with placeable nodes (cheat) mod and changes the shard cost from normal shard to the synthetic ones
Yes, it seems those two mods are incompatible due to their design choices.

If this isn't the mod you were looking for, try a different spelling.
this will let you gain what you need for the unlocks, hopefully
thanks boss
Uh I don't think there is a way to make my mod automatically compatible with an overhaul like this
My mod is open source, you can provide compatibility yourself simply by adding schematic and recipe exceptions to it
The thing is that despite schematics having Tech Tier property, only milestones care about it so only they are affected by minimum tier variable
No idea about a crash though
new problem
now if I try to load in the save game with nogs cheats
it also crashes
I think I'm going to just restart both my saves idgaf anymore
if you guys have any more fix ideas please do give me them
in the meanwhile I wil just restart
did you install the prerelease of nogs cheats like it said in the compatibility info?
if you did not install the prerelease it could have installed an older not working version
oh
well this afternoon I will try
I'm sorry if I'm being an absolute nuisance
but now I've like completely deleted auto download and it's also crashing my game if I try to load a save with it in it
but tbh I don't use it since it doesn't work in the first place
also weird thing
there are two ropes of alien shards and they don't stack together

I'm a little unclear if you're looking for help with any of these issues or just posting for our interest
sat the start issues
but now also a bit for your interest

if you have saves you can't load after removing a mod, there is something which could potentially make them load again
Certain issues in save files can sometimes be fixed by running your save through the interactive map.
First, find your save file by pasting
%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames into Windows Explorer.
Then, open Satisfactory Calculator's Interactive Map, upload and download your save as shown below, and move the resulting _CALCULATOR.sav file back into your save game folder.
Load it up, and hope for the best!
I'm not sure that would work here given this is a custom map
Send a debug log from the crash
You said the mod is still installed even though it doesn't show up as installed in SMM? Try using the mods on/off switch
One of those is from the mod and two are from vanilla. You can use the TFIT mod to find out what mod added something
That... is a good point. Can you tell I didn't sleep much last night? lol
It probably wouldn't break but it might not load or it might make random floating exploration collectibles
