Remove result and count from MinableProperties

Post by KiwiHawk »

Request: Remove result and count from MinableProperties
MinablePropertes can have results OR result and count. Having multiple ways of defining minable properties causes confusion and mod compatibility issues. Removing result and count would be almost exactly the same change that was already made (for 2.0) to RecipePrototype: removing result and result_count.

Secondary Request: Remove short syntax for ItemIngredientPrototype
ItemIngredientPrototype can be specified as a table with named or numbered keys. Short syntax ({"item-name", 39}) has been removed for 2.0 for ItemProductPrototype. Please apply this change to ingredients as well! It will make our life as modders much simpler when updating recipes.

I am not touching item ingredients because it creates insane amount of diffs around cost in technology prototype. If you have good arguments maybe other dev would do it.

Why is this a problem, exactly?

Alternatively, if you are so opposed to changing technology prototype definition, split it off. Technology costs can only be tool prototypes anyway.

Bilka made an executive decision, IngredientPrototype will no longer support short syntax. IngredientPrototype's type will be mandatory. Those changes will be released with 2.0.

To not mess up with technologies, since technologies only support items they wont be using IngredientPrototype but instead will be using ResearchIngredient that only supports short syntax (at prototype stage).

However MinableProperties result/count... it an extremally controversial change
