Copy and modify a recipe into a new one

Hello everyone,
I just started looking into modding factorio.
I'm trying to do a simple thing:
Code: Select all
local myAssemblyMachine = util.table.deepcopy(data.raw["assembling-machine"]["assembling-machine-3"])
myAssemblyMachine["name"] = "assembling-machine-test"
myAssemblyMachine["crafting_speed"] = 5
myAssemblyMachine["localised_name"] = "Assembling Machine 4"
myAssemblyMachine["module_specification"] =
{
module_slots = 6
}
-- recipe
local recipe = util.table.deepcopy(data.raw["recipe"]["assembling-machine-3"])
recipe.enabled = true
recipe.name = "assembling-machine-test"
recipe.localised_name = "Assembling Machine 4"
recipe.ingredients = {{"copper-plate",50},{"steel-plate",250}}
recipe.result = "assembling-machine-test"
-- item
local myitem = util.table.deepcopy(data.raw["item"]["assembling-machine-3"])
myitem.name = "assembling-machine-test"
myitem.localised_name = "Assembling Machine 4"
data:extend({myitem, myAssemblyMachine, recipe})
The recipe doesn't show up, I expected it to be next to assembly machine 3.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You need:
1. An entity
2. A recipe
3. An item
Make an item by coping data.raw["item"]["assembling-machine-3"].

Hi DaveMcW.
I added this at the end
Code: Select all
-- item
local myitem = util.table.deepcopy(data.raw["item"]["assembling-machine-3"])
myitem.name = "assembling-machine-test"
data:extend({myitem, myAssemblyMachine, recipe})
I still don't see it appear in game.

For the recipe, you need to copy data.raw["recipe"]["assembling-machine-3"].

Thanks! it started showing now, however none of the extended properties seem to have applied such as crafting speed.
I looked up the crafting_speed by using Ctrl+Shift+F when looking at assembling machine 3 and added it like this:
Code: Select all
local myAssemblyMachine = util.table.deepcopy(data.raw["assembling-machine"]["assembling-machine-3"])
myAssemblyMachine["name"] = "assembling-machine-test"
myAssemblyMachine["crafting_speed"] = 5
myAssemblyMachine["localised_name"] = "Assembling Machine 4"
myAssemblyMachine["module_specification"] =
{
module_slots = 6
}
In game I still see the crafting speed to be 1.25.

Actually, never mind.
I found out that it's so much easier to copy from base / core lua files in Factorio folder and modify things.
Cheers!

There is one thing you missed: setting the item's "place_result" to your new machine. As it stands you have a new item that is still placing AM3.

yes I saw that but only after I practiced a bit more.
Thanks
