I have fixed this in Angel's mods by no longer having the full barrels hidden from stats (in both the full and empty barrel recipes). This means I can hide the fill barrel recipe signals.

I see no downside to this approach and it could very easily be implemented in the barreling recipe generation ...

Angel's will be release when it's ready. I'm not going to put a time estimate on it sorry. Development has been progressing well! But there's still a bunch of open issues.

All the code is up on GitHub (dev2.0 branch). If you want to help - feel free to start testing, reviewing open PRs, or submit a ...

They show on purpose for use as signals and for use in set-recipe on assembling machines.


Shouldn't the barrel's item signal be sufficient to set the fill barrel recipe on an assembling machine?

Edit: It seems that the full barrel item signal won't set the fill barrel recipe because the recipe ...

In the signal selection gui, items show debug info in their tool tips: However recipes do not show debug info: I expect the recipe tooltip to look like this:

In the code that generates the fill barrel recipes, can you set hide_from_signal_gui = true please?

There is no need to be able to select both the barrel item as well as the fill barrel recipe. It's not a big deal in vanilla to see both. But in modded games, it is a lot of clutter!

Definitely support having it as a unified field. Ideally in the form of ["crafting"] = true . I would support the new categories field having a default value of "crafting" . Else I'd need to add it to a lot of recipes. Not the end of the world, just a bit of a hassle. Lots of properties have default ...

What about if the function accepted a language?

Fair, though the one behind keeping Bob's stuff updated did the same thing, I think. The mods might work with Space Age as they are, without adding anything new recipes and such.


The one keeping Bob's mods updated is also me 😆

Once I've finished updating Angel's mods (and Sea Block), I plan on ...

I am in the process of updating it for Factorio 2.0 . However I'm not planning on adding Space Age support.

+1 ! This would allow us to make the UI of Helmod so much nicer!!

Any chance that you could add graphics_set_flipped and forced_symmetry to MiningDrillPrototype? To match CraftingMachinePrototype.

Thank you!

Setting the main_product to an empty string ("") forces the title in the recipe tooltip to use the recipe's name (not that of the product) and shows the products in the tooltip.

I also dislike this part! I want the decision about if the recipe should show the main product name or the recipe name ...

Angel's has a three tiers of recipe for a lot of items. The first tier recipe gets the item's name automatically. The second and third tiers obviously have different names so I have to specify a localized name for them. This feels like it shouldn't be necessary as the information has already ...

I've just merged a massive PR in Angel's mods, renaming a ton of recipes so they do merge with their main product. There are a still a lot that I can't fix though. These fall into three categories:

Recipe is making a vanilla item. I don't want to name Angel's recipe the same as a vanilla item as ...

I have released updated versions of Bob's mods. I'm currently working on updating Angel's mods. They will be released once they are ready

Currently Item / Fluid entries will merge with a recipe prototype if they have the same internal name. Can we please have a way of overriding this? Allow us to (optionally) specify the name of a recipe on the item / fluid prototype. This is the recipe that will be merged.

Being able to manually ...

This would be super useful for Sea Block! We have a separate "pack mod" that has the dependencies, so they can be automatically downloaded but then disabled. This works but isn't a great solution as many people don't read the mod description so don't get the pack mod.

When MapGenPreset.default is set to true, it's settings can't be specified. Instead, it pulls values from MapSettings . Or at least, it does for advanced_settings . However there doesn't seem to be any place to specify the values that will be used for basic_settings . Can these be added to ...

It feels like allowed_module_categories works backwards to how it ideally should. I'm creating a new module category that I only want used on particular machines. To make this work, I need to set allowed_module_categories on every other machine! As by default, machines can accept every category ...

I'm not asking to add more stages. I just think it will make more sense in data-final-fixes and save many-many hours to most modders.


Well put Stringweasel! I fully support this proposal! I've released Bob's mods with support for Quality mod and it added a huge amount of additional work. I'm ...
