[SOLVED] Production Scrap 2 - Issue with handcrafting

[Splicer9]

Hello all. I enjoy this mod that DellAquila made but it seems that a side effect of having it enabled is that it seemingly "disables" handcrafting from creating the intermediates needed for an item automatically. For example, to make a steam engine, I just need to have enough iron plates usually but now I'm required to craft all of the intermediates needed first instead of just having the raw plates and the game automatically making the pipes and gears needed to make the steam engine. I take it this behavior is caused because of the scrap some of the items create obviously. Any insight would be appreciated, the author is aware of this but isn't sure how to fix this and is busy with many many other mods. Thanks!

Maybe this https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Rec ... termediate should help if false.

Thank you for that, I think thats the right direction to look at. I dont know much about programming, but this is how he has his recipe changing setup for all of the items his mod covers:
data.raw["recipe"]["iron-plate"].results = {{name = "iron-plate",probability = 0.94,amount = 1},{name = "iron-plate-scrap",probability = 0.06,amount = 1}}

I tried to add that parameter you pointed out like this:

data.raw["recipe"]["iron-plate"].results = {{name = "iron-plate",probability = 0.94,amount = 1, allow_as_intermediate = true, allow_intermediates = true},{name = "iron-plate-scrap",probability = 0.06,amount = 1 }}

I didnt crash my game at all but it also didnt have any effect lol, Im a total noob. I think my problem is I shouldnt put it in the .results part

Code: Select all

data.raw["recipe"]["iron-plate"].results = {{name = "iron-plate", probability = 0.94, amount = 1}, {name = "iron-plate-scrap", probability = 0.06, amount = 1 }} 
data.raw["recipe"]["iron-plate"].allow_as_intermediate = true
data.raw["recipe"]["iron-plate"].allow_intermediates = true

Ha, so funny, I just tried it that way (finally figured out it needed its own line):

Code: Select all

data.raw["recipe"]["iron-plate"].allow_intermediates=true
data.raw["recipe"]["pipe"].allow_intermediates=true
data.raw["recipe"]["pipe-to-ground"].allow_intermediates=true
data.raw["recipe"]["iron-plate"].allow_as_intermediate=true
data.raw["recipe"]["pipe"].allow_as_intermediate=true
data.raw["recipe"]["pipe-to-ground"].allow_as_intermediate=true

This is my test code so when I do a new game to test I cheat in just the plates and hope that will illuminate the pipe to ground recipe (meaning it will make the pipes for me). Unfortunately this code didnt work either for some reason. Must be more going on but this mod is written really straight forward and this seems like the right code...

*Bump* Sorry but I havent been able to remedy this issue and I think its beyond my understanding. I fear that handcrafting will not be possible with this mod when items like iron plates for example having a 6% chance of dropping scrap instead of the plate itself upon crafting.

I think that here must be some parallel recipes: You can craft some items fast and have ca. 6% scrap OR craft this item with 100% probability but much slower, 20 times must be enough.

I'm trying to solve it like this...

Im using the code you give me : allow_intermediates=true ; and creating a hidden recipe only available for hand crafting for every intermediate item:

{
type = "recipe",
name = "copper-cable-hidden",
enabled = true,
ingredients = {{"copper-plate", 1}},
category = "hand-crafting",
result = "copper-cable",
result_count = 2,
hidden = true,
allow_as_intermediate = true,
allow_intermediates = true,
},

all the items can be made now by handcrafting if you have the materials, but the icon when we go to produce in handcrafting shows like we cant:

Instead of the number, it stays in blank, but we can make it

i release the v0.0.5 to tests! Thanks!

[Splicer9]

I think you fixed it man ! excellent work, thanks!
