Crafting with an Entity...
Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2016 6:34 am
Hey I'm trying to get my head around prototypes; maybe I am going the wrong way about thing...
I want to make a recipe that can only be crafted with a single entity, and no other. The Smelting interface works well for me, as I would like to consume fuel in the same device which makes the item. The problem with smelters is that you can not smelt raw-wood, and that takes all the fun out of it. So I've been trying to come up with a custom entity prototype based on existing things, but have had no luck with it.
Basically what I am after is an entity which takes a fuel - like wood, or coal, and accepts one input and one output, which requires the consumption of the fuel...
Later, when I've figured out how to do this (thank you to any volunteers who reply) - I'll add more to it.
For now, I'm going to mess around with other aspects of Factorio...
Thanks for the read Kudos for any assistance...
