You could always add a pointless recipe for that category. Something like a recipe where the input and output match: 1 wood -> 1 wood.
Or a recipe that's impossible to get the materials for.
found a way. i lied to myself...

Code: Select all

{
    type = "recipe",
    name = "infinite wood",
    enabled = "true",
    energy_required = 0.5,
    ingredients =
    {
      {"raw-wood", 1}
    },
    result = "raw-wood",
    result_count = 1
  }

you learn something new every day

What if you make fluid recipe like water to crude oil, add it in new crafting category called "handcrafting" and include the category only for player prototype.

With the next update under way, the current changed are listed as such;

- pointless gear wheel ==> pointless gear wheel centre + iron gear wheel
- pointless gear wheel centre

i need more ideas than this, or i might add something with a point!
ya know... it's kinda hard to think when you have to go to school for 7 hours a day

This has the potential of a really big mod. :)

Factoraptor asks: If you want to make this pointless mod bigger, is it pointless to submit more ideas for it anyway?

Stop reading this. Why are you reading this? It's pointless.
STOP. I'm walking away now. Why are you reading my

posts? Nothing to see here. You're still here? Wow. I
thought my life was pointless. Alright. This was pointless.
I'm done now. HEY, YOU! YEAH YOU! STOP. No one wants
to read this. Why are you still reading? I'm bored now.
Good bye. Just stop already! stop. Stop. STOP. STOP!

Good idea, the mod should ask after 10 mins:
This game is pointless! If you really want to continue, then click on the dot at the end of this line.

You could put random points appearing on the screen during gameplay. somehow like dead pixels. And disappear randomly. Then it won't be actually pointless (as it contains some points), but in the same time these points will be even more pointless.
