I have a sort of custom assembling machine in my mod. The type is "assembling-machine". I'm wondering if it's possible to disable players from changing the recipe inside of it.

Thanks!

Give it a different force?

To expand: this will also prevent players from setting a recipe if the assembler doesn't have any yet. Which is fine if you want your assembling machine to only be able to make one recipe, since then you can just use:
assuming the recipe is available to that force of course.

If you already know the recipe name you just set it directly - no need to look it up in the force recipes list:
