How to no choose recipe for assembling mashine?

[zurisar]

Hi, I continue work on my mod - Zorio and have another problem, I add some ore subproducts like in IC from Minecraft, so firstly I mashing ore, than I need to washing ore, for washing entity I use chemical-plant, because I need to input water and mashed ore and output washed ore, so I use this code

Code: Select all

-- Ore washing
	{
    type = "assembling-machine",
    name = "zwasher",
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/chemical-plant.png",
    flags = {"placeable-neutral","placeable-player", "player-creation"},
    minable = {hardness = 0.2, mining_time = 0.5, result = "zwasher"},
    max_health = 300,
    corpse = "big-remnants",
    dying_explosion = "medium-explosion",
    collision_box = {{-1.4, -1.4}, {1.4, 1.4}},
    selection_box = {{-1.5, -1.5}, {1.5, 1.5}},
    --[[ module_specification =
    {
      module_slots = 2
    },
    allowed_effects = {"consumption", "speed", "productivity", "pollution"}, ]]--
  -- animation and sound sections are miss for this post
    crafting_speed = 1.25,
    energy_source =
		{
			type = "burner",
			effectivity = 1,
			fuel_inventory_size = 1,
			emissions = 0.01,
			smoke =
				{
					{
						name = "smoke",
						deviation = {0.1, 0.1},
						frequency = 5,
						position = {0.0, -0.8},
						starting_vertical_speed = 0.08,
						starting_frame_deviation = 60
					}
				}
		},
    energy_usage = "250kW",
    ingredient_count = 2,
    crafting_categories = {"washing"},
    fluid_boxes =
    {
      {
        production_type = "input",
        pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
        base_area = 10,
        base_level = -1,
        pipe_connections = {{ type="input", position = {-1, -2} }}
      },
      {
        production_type = "input",
        pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
        base_area = 10,
        base_level = -1,
        pipe_connections = {{ type="input", position = {1, -2} }}
      },
      --[[{
        production_type = "output",
        pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
        base_level = 1,
        pipe_connections = {{ position = {-1, 2} }}
      },
      {
        production_type = "output",
        pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
        base_level = 1,
        pipe_connections = {{ position = {1, 2} }}
      }]]--
    }
  },

When I click on new washer first time I need to choose recipe, and it show me all avaliable recipes, as it should be I can choose only recipe from "washing" category, how I can skip this and use it like furnace, just put in coal, shredded ore, some water and get hutched ore at end?

You can set the recipe in events.on_built_entity and events.on_robot_built_entity.

Code: Select all

function set_default_recipe(entity)
	if (entity and entity.name == "zwasher" and not entity.recipe) then
		entity.recipe = "hutched-ore"
	end
end

script.on_event(defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event) 
	set_default_recipe(event.created_entity)
end)

script.on_event(defines.events.on_robot_built_entity, function(event) 
	set_default_recipe(event.created_entity)
end)

You can set the recipe in events.on_built_entity and events.on_robot_built_entity.

Thanks for the answer, but as I understand this function set one recipe to one entity, I use more than 6 ores with this types of subproducts...
I can compile subproducts from all ores to one subproduct and then get final ore's dust from this one subproduct, but I don't sure about it, this need too much balancing for midgame phase
anyway I can use this code for uranium processing

Did you make sure to mark washer with only washing category not also other standard categories?

Did you make sure to mark washer with only washing category not also other standard categories?

yep

Item

Code: Select all

-- Washer
	{
		type = "item",
		name = "zwasher",
		icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/chemical-plant.png",
		flags = {"goes-to-quickbar"},
		subgroup = "ore-processing",
		order = "b",
		place_result = "zwasher",
		stack_size = 50
	},

Recipe

Code: Select all

	{
		type = "recipe",
		name = "zwasher",
		enabled = true,
		ingredients = 
			{
				{"iron-housing", 1},
				{"iron-gear", 2},
				{"iron-barrel", 1},
				{"iron-roll", 1}
			},
		result = "zwasher"
	},

recipe category

Code: Select all

  {
    type = "recipe-category",
    name = "washing"
  },

example recipe

Code: Select all

{
		type = "recipe",
		name = "hutched-iron-ore",
		category = "washing",
		energy_required = 1,
		enabled = true,
		ingredients =
		{
			{type="fluid", name="water", amount=5},
			{type="item", name="shredded-iron-ore", amount=1}
		},
		results=
		{
			{type="item", name="hutched-iron-ore", amount=1}
		}
	},

and entity at my first post, as I undestand type of my washer is assembling-machinem that why I see all avaliable recipes for all machines

Screenshot

if I use type furnace, it doen't work, said that I can't smelt any ore, with assembling machine type work fine, but this dialog window after first click a bit rediculous
