Multiple recipe for item

[Dron-elektron]

Hello. I was spending some time with parsing recipe prototypes and faced to a problem. Two files have same recipe for "engine-unit" item.





Is it normal? My expectations was something like this:
1) demo-* files have minimal set of items/recipes
2) other files have remaining items/recipes

[Dron-elektron]

Looks like this is a bug and somebody from devs forgot to remove recipe from... recipe.lua?

P.S. Moderators, please move this topic to "Bug Reports" section.

[Koub] Right, moving this to bug reports then.

It shouldn't affect anything within the game, however; since the recipies have the same name, the one that's read later is the one that will be used (and that one is the non-demo-file version).

Yes, I know that, but this is a potential problem if something suddenly changes in the data reading algorithm. It’s just ideologically wrong...

If it doesn't have any effect whatsoever, how is it a "bug"?

[Dron-elektron]

Full and demo files shouldn't intersect and overriding is not a solution, it's just ignoring of a potential problem.

Let's developers to decide for themselves, is it a bug or not. I want developers to just know about this "little problem"

Because clean code matters.

This will be fixed when we remove the NPE and cleanup what is in the demo
