Change Prototype/Item.burnt_result into an ItemProductPrototype

Post by ShadowGlass »

Prototype/Item.burnt_result currently is a simple string containing an item name. This means that burnt_result is limited to always be a 1-to-1 amount for all items.

Please change this to (optionally) be an ItemProductPrototype (no fluids allowed), so we can use the amount and probability fields to control the ratio of item to burnt item. This would also make it more consistent with other similar fields like rocket_launch_product.

Alternatively (or additionally), you could add an optional field of burnt_results, which would be a table of ItemProductPrototype. This again would be consistent with other fields like rocket_launch_products.
