Recipe creating in game

Post by qvitae »

There is at least one mod "You mod" from Dell Aquila, which allows you to modify and create recipies yourself, and even teaches you how to do it on the modportal. That said, it would be awesome if there was mod that adds a machine (maybe many) that allowed for recipe creating inside the game, without the need to go out of the game, create the recipe and reinitialize the game. It is already possible to do this via combinators, but it requires A LOT of effort and space for 1 machine and one recipe.

Here's how I thought this would work:

You place the building on the ground. You click on it and an interface shows up with slots in which you click and choose an item from the list of all items, just like loader filters, and next to each slot a changeable numerical value, and there are two lines of slots. The first line is input and second output. You choose each item in the recipe, choose the number and bam, then machine accepts the input items and creates the output.

I don't know if it is possible to create such a machine with the current game modding capacity, but that sure would be nice. Not only for players to become tiny modders themselves, but also for the big modders to help them create and balance their own mods without having to go in and out of the game every time.

Recipes can not be created in-game.
