[Mod 0.2.9] Furnace Upgrades
I have finished the furnace upgrade mod i have been working on for about a week. I have finished all the code and the recipes are just 5 of the respected material for which the furnace is called (iron furnace is 5 iron plates, copper furnace is 5 copper plates, and steel furnace is 5 steel plates). Although i have finished the code i am not talented in drawing in any shape, form or way so the sprites are the same as the regular furnace.
I am planing to change the recipe of the furnaces to make it a little more challenging to obtain and am willing to take any suggestions on this topic and will consider any and all suggestions given to me for the recipes of these furnaces.
As i have stated i do not have any sprites for the furnaces i added and am unable to create them my self, so anyone who want to submit a sprite for these furnaces i will be willing to update the mod with these furnaces if they are good.
In order to install this mod just extract all files into the main factorio folder
for 0.2.8 not upgraded to 0.2.9
for 0.2.9

The more complicated the game the better
Re: [WIP] Furnace Upgrades
WTF u had the same idea I had...
And for me the copper is needed to create the iron one, so the iron one is better
but the steel furnace is a electric furnace for me![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
But I dont know if I can do that, im gonna try anyways, if I cant, I will read the code :S

Re: [WIP] Furnace Upgrades
I'm wondering if someone can help. I have already done most of the modding for the furnaces but i keep getting an id error and have not been able to figure out how to fix it.

Re: [WIP] Furnace Upgrades
I tried to create a test furnance yesterday and it worked. The ID error is due tu a missing item definition.
You need an entity definition, a recipe definition and an item definition.
- The entity definition describes how it's integrated in the game world (appearence, behavior).
- The recipe definition describes how it is created.
- The item definition describes how it's handled in your inventory.
Optional you can create an item descriptions/name, so the game can say something meaningfull about it.
I'll upload my test files later when i'm at the other computer.
Hope it helps,
Heinrich.

Re: [WIP] Furnace Upgrades
I attached my Test Furnace mod to this post. It just adds more smoke and is less expensive to craft.
The file contains the games data folder with everything deleted not associated with the mod:
1. Edited freeplay.lua + backup to have more resources at start and no creepers spawning.
2. Prototype definitions for the test furnace, including entity, item and recipe definitions.
3. Graphic resources, I just copied the images from the stone furnace and renamed them.
You just have overwrite your [Factorio Folder]\data folder with the data folder in the attachment and it should work. However, i skipped making some description/naming due to lazyness

Re: [WIP] Furnace Upgrades
Wait ... it's called Furnace Upgrades, but there is no Electric one ? ^^
Re: [WIP] Furnace Upgrades
You cant make an electric furnace yet, c code needs to be edited, and for mods we can just use json and luaMatLaPatate wrote:Wait ... it's called Furnace Upgrades, but there is no Electric one ? ^^
Re: [WIP] Furnace Upgrades
You could make electric furnace from radar type entity (for melting) and container entities (for holding ores/metal). So that onscan event you would check containers next to it and switch ores to metal. Not the easiest setup but could work?

Re: [WIP] Furnace Upgrades
I will just make the energy source of furnace dynamic (the same way it is specified in mining drill/inserter), so people can create electric furnace easily.ficolas wrote:You cant make an electric furnace yet, c code needs to be edited, and for mods we can just use json and luaMatLaPatate wrote:Wait ... it's called Furnace Upgrades, but there is no Electric one ? ^^

Re: [WIP] Furnace Upgrades
Will we be able to make machines that wouldn't be furnace, i.e processing ore machines ?kovarex wrote:I will just make the energy source of furnace dynamic (the same way it is specified in mining drill/inserter), so people can create electric furnace easily.ficolas wrote:You cant make an electric furnace yet, c code needs to be edited, and for mods we can just use json and luaMatLaPatate wrote:Wait ... it's called Furnace Upgrades, but there is no Electric one ? ^^
Re: [WIP] Furnace Upgrades
Well, nothing stops you from creating recipe for ore processing even now.

Re: [WIP] Furnace Upgrades
Yup, but for now it can't be energy based. But that's ok ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Basically, all recipes will be defined the same way, but every recipe has recipe-category.
Machines (and player and furnace) will have list of categories they can use.
So mod can add new recipe categories and machines that are specialised on certain categories.
