New modifier for researched technology effects: lock recipe

[darkfrei]

Hi devs!

Can you please add the way to upgrade recipes?

I want something like:

Code: Select all

techonology.effects = {
  {type  = "unlock-recipe", recipe = "recipe-mk2"},
  {type  = "lock-recipe", recipe = "recipe-mk1"}
}

Disabling recipies in control is already trivial. The problem is having to scan the map and "upgrade" all assemblers. Blueprints would also break. Basically to make this work the engine would also have to replace recipes with upgraded version when building ghost assemblers.

It's trivial, but why enabling is possible, but not disabling?

Because making a recipe "disappear" from a map that it's already been in is not trivial at all. See above.

But no big problems for furnaces?
