Context: My mod has spoilable items with no spoil result, because it lets me restrict the distance between item generation and usage--but I don't want the baggage associated with managing an actual spoil result. Players keep reporting the misleading factoriopedia entry to me as a bug.
I'm surprised this wasn't reported yet, but maybe I'm just blind.
Normal Correct Behavior
- Normal factoriopedia entry for a spoilable item

- My modded item, which spoils into no spoil result. Item menu looks correct!

The Bug
- My modded item that has a spoil timer and no spoil result (spoil_result = nil). No "Spoilable" information is displayed on factoriopedia

My Expectation
- My expectation of what the factoriopedia entry SHOULD look like (but currently does not. This is a photoshop).
