I'm trying to add, let's say, a red accumulator. I have the code setup, and there are no errors. But when I try to insert it into my inventory, it says "Unknown item name: rose"

As an example, this code piece is straight from the fire-armor tutorial.

This works ~

Code: Select all

/c game.player.insert{name="green-armor", count=10}

Code: Select all

local green_armor = table.deepcopy(data.raw["armor"]["heavy-armor"]) -- copy the table that defines the heavy armor item into the fireArmor variable

green_armor.name = "green-armor"
green_armor.icons = {
    {
        icon = green_armor.icon,
        icon_size = green_armor.icon_size,
        tint = { r = 0, g = 100, b = 0, a = 0.3 }
    },
}

data:extend { green_armor }

This DOES NOT WORK -

Code: Select all

/c game.player.insert{name="rose", count=100}

Code: Select all

local rose = table.deepcopy(data.raw["accumulator"]["accumulator"])

rose.name = "rose"
rose.icons = {
    {
        icon = rose.icon,
        icon_size = rose.icon_size,
        tint = { r = 100, g = 0, b = 0, a = 0.3 }
    },
}

data:extend { rose }

Looking at this mod, it doesn't seem like there is anything special with accumulators to extend them.

Appreciate any help, thanks

Ah the issue was you also need to extend an item, in addition to the entity.

Code: Select all

data:extend(
        {
            {
                type = "item",
                name = "rose",
                icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/solar-panel.png",
                icon_size = 64,
                icon_mipmaps = 4,
                subgroup = "energy",
                order = "e[accumulator]-a[accumulator]-a",
                place_result = "rose",
                stack_size = 50
            }
        }
)
