-solved- Issues with recipes

[Kelmoir]

Hello,

I try to get into modding, and I wanted to create an "green" source for solid fuel as a start. I set up all the data, the game displays everything correctly, no errors, The technology is working....

But when I actually try to craft my algae farm (yes, there is an Item, recipe, entity,..) I just get one Piece of solid fuel instead of the algae farm. Even the algae farm icon is being shown, when I hover over the recipe. I also tried deactivating the solid fuel recipe. The game didn't show them anymore -> same result.

Recipe

data:extend({
{
type = "recipe",
name = "algae-farm",
energy_required = 10,
ingredients =
{
{type="item", name="concrete", amount=5},
{type="item", name="iron-gear-wheel", amount=1},
{type="item", name="copper-plate", amount=2},
{type="item", name="electronic-circuit", amount=1}
},
result= "algae-farm",
--icon = "__SpaceFactorio__/graphics/icons/algae-farm.png",
enabled = false
}
})

Entity

data:extend({
{
type = "assembling-machine",
name = "algae-farm",
icon = "__SpaceFactorio__/graphics/icons/algae-farm.png",
flags = {"placeable-neutral","placeable-player", "player-creation"},
minable = {hardness = 0.2, mining_time = 0.5, result = "algae-farm"},
max_health = 300,
corpse = "big-remnants",
dying_explosion = "medium-explosion",
collision_box = {{-1.4, -1.4}, {1.4, 1.4}},
selection_box = {{-1.5, -1.5}, {1.5, 1.5}},
animation =
{
north =
{
filename = "__SpaceFactorio__/graphics/entity/algae-farm/algae-farm.png",
width = 156,
height = 141,
frame_count = 1,
shift = {0.5, -0.078125}
},
west =
{
filename = "__SpaceFactorio__/graphics/entity/algae-farm/algae-farm.png",
x = 468,
width = 156,
height = 141,
frame_count = 1,
shift = {0.5, -0.078125}
},
south =

x = 312,
width = 156,
height = 141,
frame_count = 1,
shift = {0.5, -0.078125}
},
east =
{
filename = "__SpaceFactorio__/graphics/entity/algae-farm/algae-farm.png",
x = 156,
width = 156,
height = 141,
frame_count = 1,

}
},
vehicle_impact_sound = { filename = "__base__/sound/car-metal-impact.ogg", volume = 0.65 },
working_sound =
{
sound =
{
{
filename = "__base__/sound/chemical-plant.ogg",
volume = 0.8
}
},
idle_sound = { filename = "__base__/sound/idle1.ogg", volume = 0.6 },
apparent_volume = 1.5,
},
crafting_speed = 1,
energy_source =
{
type = "electric",
usage_priority = "secondary-input"
},
energy_usage = "10kW",
ingredient_count = 4,
crafting_categories = {"algae-farming"},
fluid_boxes =
{
{
production_type = "input",
pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
base_area = 10,
base_level = -1,
pipe_connections = {{ type="input", position = {0, -2} }}
},
{
production_type = "output",
pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
base_level = 1,
pipe_connections = {{ position = {0, 2} }}
}
}
}
})

Item

data:extend({

{
type = "item",
name = "algae-farm",
icon = "__SpaceFactorio__/graphics/icons/algae-farm.png",
flags = { "goes-to-quickbar" },
subgroup = "extraction-machine",
place_result="algae-farm",
stack_size= 100,
}

})

So, someone got an Idea, what I am doing wrong?
Btw: I am using the linux version of the game - in case that matters.

I personally cannot find what is causing the problem in the code. I noticed the order of some elements of the codes is not in the order of the original code. But I think this should not cause a problem. I only could imagine that you maybe accidentally changed something in the base code you used to construct your code. But this is only a guess and I am just a beginner to modding, too.
It might help to attach the mod as a ZIP. Then others could try and see whether the problem reproduces.

When you create a recipe without liquids you need yo use this code:

Code: Select all

    ingredients =
    {
      {"steel-plate", 5},
      {"electronic-circuit", 15},
      {"battery", 7}
    },

You dont need use type item, name and amount ( i think this is the bug)

Thanks for the Ideas so far.
I tried the change in the recipe, but it didn't change anything. I had more of an opinion about redundant information there anyways.
I did not edit the base data by any means. I actually did a copy of it to my development space.
And the console did not claim any error or warning.

new recipe

data:extend({
{
type = "recipe",
name = "algae-farm",
energy_required = 10,
ingredients =
{
{"concrete", 5},
{"iron-gear-wheel", 1},
{"copper-plate", 2},
{"electronic-circuit", 1}
},
result= "algae-farm",
icon = "__SpaceFactorio__/graphics/icons/algae-farm.png",
enabled = false
}
})

As per request I attached the full mod so far. As you might guessed, it is a very early work in progress version. And I am terrible at drawing.

And what exactly is the problem with that? Seems to be working as I'd expect it to. Growing algae takes ages, but I guess that's intended.

For me everything works like you intended it. I am able to craft the algae farm without getting a piece of solid fuel instead of it. But yeah growing algae takes AGES
But then I probably need more Algae Farms. I would think about allowing modules for the farm maybe. Anyways looks like an interesting mod so far.

//edit: As graphics for the algae farm I would suggest some kind of greenish biodome like a research lab but in green.

Or game.speed=20 if you're just testing.

Oh my....

I did even always run the
for i, player in ipairs(game.players) do player.force.reset_recipes() end
command at startup. Plus on my save the technology was always just about to be finished. I'll try again, with a sandbox save. Thanks, though.
The Idea with the green Biodome is nice. I might go for that.
