How to change assembling-machine-1 to use coal

Basically the title. I'm trying to make the assembling machine require coal instead of electricity from power poles for the first part of my mod. Any help on the subject would be super helpful.
Thank you.
Code I'm using at the moment for this.
Code: Select all
{
type = "recipe",
name = "assembling-machine-1",
icon = "__xxxxxxx__/graphics/icons/assembling-machine-1.png",
icon_size = 32,
order = "d-b",
category = "basic-crafting",
normal =
{
enabled = true,
ingredients =
{
{"simple-frame", 1}
},
results=
{
{type = "item", name = "assembling-machine-1", amount = 1}
},
energy_required = 2,
},
},

Instead of giving a direct answer, I would like to give you a hint first, and see if you can find it out and learn the process.
You can compare between "stone-furnace", "steel-furnace", and "electric-furnace" of the base code.
"stone-furnace", "steel-furnace" are using coal (or other fuel).
"electric-furnace" is using electricity.
If you can spot the differences, it would be very easy for you to change the power source.
BTW, you should look into "entity" types, NOT "recipe" types.
The "energy_required" in "recipe" prototype is actually referring to the crafting time, really nothing to do with "energy".

Ok so looking into this a bit, if i use the category = "smelting", what ever i have created a recipe for will automatically create the given output. But my intention is to use the same ingredient to output different things. For instance I would like to be able to select either crushed stone or bricks, both using the core ingredient of stone.
Maybe I'm missing your point though. Let me know.
also thanks for the help

Read that. To get it to run on coal, you need to change the type to burner and set the properties in the burner section. Look at any prototype that uses fuel to see how it is done.

Yes, you missed my point TOTALLY. Read that again:

The differences are the part where the energy sources are changed. And actually mat1k gave the answer.
The other things (like category, recipe) are totally irrelevant to the energy source, they can be changed individually to whatever you need.

Ok so maybe im just looking in the wrong locations but i can't seem to find the base lua files that will help me create this. where exactly should i be looking?

From
info-mod:

So the code that you need:
Code: Select all
data.raw["assembling-machine"]["assembling-machine-1"].energy_source = table.deepcopy( data.raw.furnace["stone-furnace"].energy_source)

In file
{GameDir}\data\base\prototypes\entity\demo-entities.lua, search for
type = "furnace".
All three furnaces can be found in this file.
