I am attempting to modify the follower robot count bonus from the repeatable techs, using

data.raw["technology"]['follower-robot-count-1'].effects = {type = "maximum-following-robots-count", modifier = 2}

and getting the error

Code: Select all

error while loading technology prototype "follower-robot-count-1". Value must be a dictionary in property tree at ROOT.technology.follower-robot-count-1

Based on my (admittedly, very limited) knowledge, follower-robot-count techs for levels 1-6 are generated via a function, but they seem to be output as "follower-robot-count-[level]", so I would assume it is available as such for any mod loaded after base (but, again, very limited knowledge)

I am unsure where my error is, could someone point me in the right direction?

Effects is a dictionary. Each individual effect is also a dictionary. So you need two dictionaries.

Code: Select all

data.raw["technology"]['follower-robot-count-1'].effects = {{type = "maximum-following-robots-count", modifier = 2}}
