Recycling Machines Now released for Factorio v0.13 and available on the mod portal at https://mods.factorio.com/mods/DRY411S/ZRecycling Most of this topic refers to the mod when it was in development, and is not the latest version. Please report bugs for the latest versions at the end of this topic...

That's great thank you. If I check this on 'tick', and decide there's something I need to do, I have less than 1/60 second to execute my code, is that right?

I have a mod which creates a 'reverse' recipe for all the in-game recipes. These are all set to not be craftable. They are assigned to their own category. Even though every single one is not craftable in hand, the category tab appears on the 'player' crafting menu. Now, this may be working as intend...

Well that's 'solved' that question thank you.

Title is my question.

I'm finding the names and descriptions of the events difficult to understand in some cases.

When I click on an assembling machine to open the crafting menu, does an event trigger?

And is there one when I close a machine's crafting menu?

I know that the Crafted Artifacts mod uses a new ore. Maybe take a look at that?

If you add hidden = "true", to the recipes, they wont show up in the crafting tab. If there is no recipe to display the whole tab will vanish. So you have to add the "hidden" marker to all your recycling recipes. If I make the recipes hidden they won't appear in the recycling ma...

I have a lot of recycling recipes to use in a 'recycling machine' which is essentially a reverse assembling machine. These recipes can only be used in the machine, no hand crafting. I've put them all in their own sub-groups with a parent group called 'Recycling' The crafting for the recycling machin...

And IRL I was a programmer between 1979 and 1981 before entering the IT management rat race, and am always many years behind the curve on the part of IT that I wish I'd never left behind.

And there speaks an experienced modder vs a first-timer. *Me* starts following up the recommendation.

As a first time modder myself, I wish you luck. The people here are very helpful, and I've had replies to my questions from some of the modfathers of factorio. It's great to see that they are willing to support humble beginners. If you are not doing so already, I'd really recommend using Notepad++. ...

Excellent thank you. Marked as [SOLVED]

I'm handling the event for research being completed.

My code needs to know if another research has been completed.

Is there a way to test this please?

I think with using a results table, you also need to specify a few extra tags... icon, order and subgroup, not to mention a locale entry for the recipe. some of these tags can be mitigated though if you use... I forget the tag... main_product? if you use that, then the 4 tags I mentioned earlier wi...

See above I edited my post. Thanks for your help.

data.raw.recipe["electronic-circuit"].result = nil data.raw.recipe["electronic-circuit"].results = { {name="iron-plate", amount=5} } I can now turn one iron plate and three copper cables into five iron plates. :D Interesting that explicitly nilling the 'result = ' whic...

results with just a single entry should work, too. But it needs to be a table in a table containing name and amount(_min/_max). Just specifying type alone doesn't help, it defaults to "item" anyway. It didn't work as a table, whatever combination I tried. If you look across the whole base...

if you use a results table instead of a simple result string you need to provide type/name/amount keys in the sub-tables. edit: seems like type = "item" is implicit. You still need the name and either amount or amount_min/_max. That's got me going forward again thanks. After being explici...

So I am using data-final-fixes.lua now. The code seems to run fine creating the reverse recipes and adding them to data. But the game is crashing with an error.
