Hi there
I would like to add a second recipe for the item iron-plate.
If i just use this:
Code: Select all
{
type = "recipe",
name = "iron-plate",
category = "smelting",
energy_required = 20,
enabled = true,
ingredients =
{
{"iron-dust", 1}
},
result = "iron-plate",
}
i only can smelt it by having iron-dust
and i got a second question too..
is there any way to update my save game? I do not like to play every time i would like to try my mod until i'm prepared for building everything i need..
thank you ::)

change the name of the recipe to something other than iron-plate. The way you have it right now overwrites the original one.
As for updating, there are either migration files (
https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?tit ... on_scripts) or a console command: /c game.local_player.force.reset_recipes() (
https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?tit ... et_recipes)
You have to restart Factorio when you make changes to recipes, etc.

yes, i know that it overwrites it.
But i like to simply add a second recipe for it - just to use it after that process as the vanilla iron-plate.
If i add my own item it will not be the iron-plate and i have to update every recipe of the game. i do not like to do that
maybe there is a other way to "transform" my item after the smelting process to the iron-plate?
Thank you with your help about the update thing

Don't add your own item, just change the name of the recipe and leave the result as it is.
