Any way to make an entity unbuildable?

[thedudxo]

Trying to create a barrel only mod, and remove pipes. I'd rather not break the existing recipes so the best way seems to be maks them unplaceable, but I couldn't find how to do this?


why? well because its nopipe november...

Code: Select all

data.raw["item"]["pipe"].place_result = nil
data.raw["item"]["pipe-to-ground"].place_result = nil

For the refinery problem, you can move some recipes to the chemical plant in data-updates.lua

Code: Select all

data.raw["recipe"]["fill-heavy-oil-barrel"].category = "chemistry"
data.raw["recipe"]["empty-heavy-oil-barrel"].category = "chemistry"
data.raw["recipe"]["fill-petroleum-gas-barrel"].category = "chemistry"
data.raw["recipe"]["empty-petroleum-gas-barrel"].category = "chemistry"

superfast reply, ty
it's now called "unknown key blah blah..."

whats causing the name?
while this isn't game breaking, it's a little unpolished

yeah im thinking i may just make a "barreling machine" or something, for now i've debuffed the pump's speed to discourage it over barrels, so if you wanted to go long distance it's probably not worth it anymore
