I would like to change the location of the base crafting tab location. I know this has to do with re-addressing the sort order in my own created tabs but how do I access the base tabs so that I can change their default locations?

Basically I'm trying to place my created tabs before the base tabs if ...

How do you address an item that seems to be a couple levels deep in code?

For example. Say I want to change the Mining Axe damage amount from 8 to 10.

type = "mining-tool",
name = "steel-axe",
icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/steel-axe.png",
flags = {"goes-to-main-inventory"},
action ...

I manage to figure out how to get both types of fish to appear in the game but it definitely favors populating the catfish. I can't seem to make it balance out or have the catfish to appear only in deeper water. Hope the code below shows up alright. I'm new to this forum thing so forgive my ...

Ok, so I added a new fish to a mod I'm working on. It populates in the world just fine, and it displays as expected. But now the normal fish are gone in world. I would like to have both fish (and others) populated in the world.

Yes,

That worked.

Thanks prg

So here's what i have for the code to change the icon picture of the iron-axe. This is in the data-updates.lua.

data.raw.mining-tools["iron-axe"].icon = "__DSD__/graphics/axes/iron-axe.png"

But I get this error.

__DSD__/data-updates.lua:1: syntax error near '-'

Any ideas?

I'd like to change the default base item picture (icon) to one that i have created without removing the original base picture. Is it possible to have a mod do so and if so, how?
