[0.18.6] hide_from_player_crafting recipe property glitch

[DRY411S]

In my Recycling Machines mod NONE of the recycling recipes can be crafted by hand. Until now, they have all appeared in the player's crafting menu under recycling tabs. Many people have commented how cluttered the crafting tabs become if they have a lot of other mods. And challenged me to remove them.

Imagine my:

• delight when I just discovered the hide_from_player_crafting recipe property today. I just amended the mod to assign the property to EVERY recycling recipe.
• disappointment when the tabs didn't disappear.
• surprise when I clicked on the tabs and saw that almost all the recipes had disappeared but a few random ones are still there.

I can see no reason why those should still be visible. I checked my data to make sure I hadn't missed setting the property (set in data-updates stage and the hide_from_player_crafting property untouched afterwards). I haven't. Example for the advanced circuit below:

Code: Select all

  {
    category = "recycling-1",
    expensive = {
      enabled = false,
      energy_required = 6,
      ingredients = {
        {
          "advanced-circuit",
          1
        }
      },
      results = {
        {
          "electronic-circuit",
          2
        },
        {
          "plastic-bar",
          4
        },
        {
          "copper-cable",
          8
        }
      }
    },
    group = "dry411srev-intermediate-products",
    hidden = false,
    hide_from_player_crafting = true,
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/advanced-circuit.png",
    icon_size = 64,
    localised_name = {
      "recipe-name.recycledparts",
      {
        "item-name.advanced-circuit"
      }
    },
    name = "dry411srev-advanced-circuit",
    normal = {
      enabled = false,
      energy_required = 6,
      ingredients = {
        nil
      },
      results = {
        {
          "electronic-circuit",
          2
        },
        {
          "plastic-bar",
          2
        },
        {
          "copper-cable",
          4
        }
      }
    },
    order = "f[advanced-circuit]",
    subgroup = "dry411srev-intermediate-product",
    type = "recipe"
  },

So I thought maybe I'd made a mistake somewhere else. I crafted a recycling machine, placed it, and open the crafting menu to make sure all the items could be recycled.

No. There they are. The pipe and the tank. The blue belt is missing but that's because my mod insists that any recipes that use fluids cannot be recycled in a Recycling Machine 1.

Let me know if you need the mod's code. The version on the mod portal isn't using the property. Why would it? It appears to be bugged after all.

You need to set the flag in the difficulty of the recipe

Perfect thanks. Does that mean (from the screenshots), that those are the only vanilla items in the game which have expensive recipes?

Answering my own question. It would seem so, after I made a little change to my code.
