Recipie to make nothing

[Mango]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to make incinerator.
The idea is it will be basicly furnace, that can destroy specific item to nothing while creating polution.

so how do I make a recipie that has no product?

Can I use something like this?

Code: Select all

data:extend(
{
  {
    type = "recipe",
    name = "basic-waste",
    category = "waste",
    enabled = false,
    energy_required = 17.5,
    ingredients = {{"some.item-here", 1}},
    result = nil
  }
})

Take a look at bob's mods void pump.
I think it uses special dummy void fluid thats produced with probability 0%. Since recipe needs to have result.

is it in Bob's Metals, Chemicals and Intermediates?

Edit: Found it, thanks.

So I decided I want to be able to burn all items in game.

I made this little function but it doesn't seem to work

Code: Select all

for _,i in pairs (data.raw.item) do
	newRecipe.type = "recipe"
  newRecipe.name = i.name .. "-waste"
	newRecipe.category = "waste-smelting"
	newRecipe.hidden = "true"
	newRecipe.ingredients =
   {
     {i.name, 1},
   }
  newRecipe.results=
   {
     {type="item", name="smoke", amount=1, probability=0},
   }
   data:extend({newRecipe})
end

Factorio throws this error:
Failed to load mods: Prototype name (sulfuric-acid-barel-waste) does not match the key name (stone-brick-waste).

What am I doing wrong and what does it have to do with acid barels or bricks?

You need to reset your temporary variable.

Code: Select all

for _,i in pairs (data.raw.item) do
  local newRecipe = {}
  newRecipe.type = "recipe"
  newRecipe.name = i.name .. "-waste"
