Thank you, it was an issue of the items being hidden.

I have a deepcopy of the 1x1 loader, which typically does not support the planners. I have gotten the BP and Destruction planners to work, but despite setting the next_upgrade on the loader, it does not work with the Upgrade planner.

I am trying to make a custom set of loaders but when using the built-in loader-1x1 my entity is not selectable with blueprint, deconstruction, or upgrade planners.
Example of 1 tier which is not selectable

loader = table.deepcopy(data.raw['loader-1x1']['loader-1x1']);
loader.name = "ddi-fast ...

I am trying to have 1 entity give 2 items when broken.

Currently I have the code as entity.mineable = {mining_time=0.1, results={{type="item",name="item1 name", amount=1},{type="item",name="item2 name", amount=1}}} but is setting a different item as the mineable result instead.

This worked for me.

local entity = table.deepcopy(data.raw['lane-splitter']['lane-splitter'])
entity.name = "my-splitter"
entity.hidden = false
data:extend{entity}

local item = table.deepcopy(data.raw['item']['lane-splitter'])
item.name = "my-splitter"
item.subgroup = "belt"
item.place_result ...

I tried that, also made a custom subgroup in the logistics group to move the item to and set its new order.
The custom subgroup works, but only in editor mode.

I am trying to make a mod which utilizes the lane splitter found in the unsorted item group when in editor mode. I would love to use this during normal gameplay but when I use deepcopy to make the item and entity, nothing shows up in the menu unless I enable the editor mode. Is there a setting or ...
