resetrecipes

[Dysoch]

is there anyway to make game.player.force.resetrecipes() with random result_count recipes?

something like:

Code: Select all

  {
    type = "recipe",
    name = "recycling-base-003",
	category = "recycling",
    energy_required = 15,
    ingredients =
    {
      {"steel-plate", 1},
    },
    result = "scrapmetal",
	result_count = math.random(5)
  },

where resetrecipes() would reset the recipes and the math.random(5) (it currently doesnt)

Currently not, we will extend recipes to allow this, but don't use random in the data files definition it is not forbidden now, but it will be in the future.

Anyway way around math.random? Or are you making a definition for that?

[kovarex]

Don't know what do you mean by that, in normal game (script) math.random uses game.random internally and is deterministic. But in data files there should be no randomness, so no way around as well. It doesn't make sense to have random in data files. Not only it is not deterministic, but you can change the value by closing the game and starting it again.

I think he meant will you make it possible to have random outputs through the definitions, like spawner/loot, since math.random will be unavailable.

right on the dollar
it would be simpler with a function like the spawner. that way you can specify everything more accurate the the math.random

Yes, if you mean randomised result of the recipe, or more results, yes we plan it for 0.9 (as well as recipe containing liquids as inputs/outputs as well)

Thx, that is what i wanted to know
