Recipe Change

[Ranakastrasz]

I am attempting to modify recipies, mainly for my own use. However, i ran into a few issues

Resolved: The game doesn't accept lubricant as an item. I am certain I copied the original recipie exactly originally, and only changed the number.
Resolved: or the duration (assuming that is what energy is)

The game won't accept my attempt to change the result count

Can anyone point me to a location where all of this stuff is explained more clearly? I used an existing mod (Nova's Powered armor recipie changer) as a base, and while that works fine, as does anything closely related, the other, new stuff doesn't work as my expectations dictate.

So, the fix is simple! Hooray!!!

For every item recipe, there is a recipe category it can be under. For most items, like the transport belts,they are just under a category that allows you to craft by hand, by machine, whatever. However, you can't use fluid recipes in this category, because it's not like the player can hold any fluid.
For recipes that use fluids, there is a separate category, "crafting-with-fluid" that they need to be set as, this allows you to use the fluid type entities with them. (Or "chemistry" if you want them to be created in a chemical plant)

Just add the following line to your recipes changes that need to work with fluid:
data.raw["recipe"]["express-transport-belt-to-ground"].category = "crafting-with-fluid"

So, as a test, I uncommented the first express belt there, and edited it as so:

Code: Select all

data.raw["recipe"]["express-transport-belt-to-ground"].category = "crafting-with-fluid"
data.raw["recipe"]["express-transport-belt-to-ground"].ingredients = 
   {
	
     {"express-transport-belt", 4},
     {"fast-transport-belt-to-ground", 2},
      {"iron-gear-wheel", 2},
      {type="fluid", name="lubricant", amount=4}
   }

I tested it by loading the game with the changes, and it worked like a charm

[Ranakastrasz]

That fixes the first issue. Awsome. Thanks
However, I still can't seem to change the "energy Cost" meaning Processing duration. I want Processing units to take a full 2 minutes (less with speed) to make.
AND I can't get them to produce two or four per recipie. I copied the data from Copper Circuit.
I imagine the problem is that those data points don't exist to start with, so can't be changed, but I have no idea of the syntax for creating said entries.

Edit: The energy cost on it's own works fine. I still cant figure out how to change the output multiplier. Presumably this is because said entry doesn't exist to start with.

Edit2: huh. Now it works fine. Guess it was breaking from the earlier fluid-processing issue. All problems appear resolved.
New Code here.

Code: Select all
