cannot research tech with Industrial Revolution 2 #311

Although prelimanary techs are researched, geothermal research cannot be researched. It stays red. afbeelding

Does this happen with no other mods? It works for me.

It is with IR2 only loaded also. Maybe need to force the tech if installed later? Same is happening with distribution centers if you add it later. I did it with this mod also so could be a solution if i knew what the command is.

If you need a savegame i can send it.

I think I see what is going on. Geothermal tech depends on five prereqs, but your image only shows four:


    prerequisites =
    {
        "fluid-handling",
        "flammables",
        "electric-engine",
        "advanced-electronics",
        "concrete",
    },

He is removing the 'flammables' tech from the tree (the hidden property) and making it unobtainable but not removing it from other mods' tech prereqs. This is a bug/design error on his end. For now you can just use the console to give yourself that missing tech and then the research should work normally.

After speaking with others on the Factorio discord, where they mentioned the hidden property, part of me wonders if this is a botched attempt at removing the tech and working around the fact that doing so normally (without doing the above mentioned correction) will crash a whole litany of mods. That is, I wonder if the author of IR initially tried outright deleting the tech, saw the crashes, and went to hidden as a "backup" plan without really realizing what he was doing.
